 deprecated in favor of the client–server model with the wider adoption of high-speed networks.

"Never trust the client" is a maxim among game developers (as well as other 'types' of developers) that summarizes the model of client–server game design. It means that no information sent from a client should be accepted by a server if it breaks the game rules or the basic mechanics of the game, and that no information should be sent to a client unless it is "need-to-know." For example, a server with no rule enforcement or data integrity checking will synchronize all of the clients with all of the information about all of the other clients. The server will be very fast, but any wallhack program will reveal where all the players in the game are, what team they are on, and what state they're in — health, weapon, ammo etc. At the same time, altered and erroneous data from a client will allow a player to break the game rules, manipulate the server, and even manipulate other clients.

Game code modification
Many cheats are implemented by modifying game software, despite EULAs which forbid modification. While game software distributed in binary-only versions makes it harder to modify code, reverse engineering is possible. Also game data files can be edited separately from the main program and thereby circumvent protections implemented in software.

System software modification
Rather than modifying the game code (which the game itself or a 3rd-party protection system may detect), some cheats modify underlying system components. An example of this is graphics driver modifications that ignore depth checking and draw all objects on the screen—a primitive wallhack. System or driver modification is harder to detect, as there are a large number of system drivers that differ from user to user.

Packet interception, tampering & manipulation
The security of game software can be circumvented by intercepting and/or manipulating data in real-time while in transit from the client to the server or vice versa (i.e. a man-in-the-middle attack). Interception can be passive or result in active manipulation; either method can be performed on the client machine itself or via an external communication proxy; some aimbots incorporate this method.

Anti-cheating methods and limitations
There are many facets of cheating in online games which make the creation of a system to stop cheating very difficult; however, game developers and third party software developers have created or are developing technologies that attempt to prevent cheating

 " Never trust the client " is a maxim among plot developers (as well as other' type' of developers) that summarizes the mannequin of client – server plot design. It means that no information sent from a client should be accepted by a server if it break the game rules or the basic mechanics of the plot, and that no information should be sent to a customer unless it is " need - to - know. " For model, a server with no rule enforcement or data integrity checking will synchronize all of the clients with all of the information about all of the early clients. The server will be very fast, but any wallhack program will reveal where all the players in the plot are, what team they are on, and what state of matter they're in — health, weapon, ammo etc. At the same time, altered and erroneous data from a client will allow a player to break the plot rule, manipulate the waiter, and even fudge early clients.
