Dedicated to the security and integrity of online gaming
Product #1: Anti-Autoclicker
What is Autoclicking?
Autoclicking is software that automatically clicks for a user at inhuman, high speeds.
Autoclicking is an exploit for many online games. Faster clicking speeds can provide an unfair advantages over other users.
Main Challenge
Manual clicking vs. autoclicking—how to distinguish between them.
Because users naturally click at different speeds, the algorithm cannot be based on click speed, but rather patterns in their clicks.
Our Anti-Autoclicker Software
Using data collected from users, we developed an algorithm to detect autoclicking that is not based on clicks per second (CPS).
Our software detects autoclicking at speeds even lower than 12cps, which enters the normal range of users' clicking speeds.
The algorithm tracks and identifies patterns between groups of clicks of a user.
Impact
Upon release on ROBLOX, our anti-autoclicker replaced the CPS limiter that was the old, commonly-used software.
82 clients have used the anti-autoclocker in their personal games, 1,000+ unique users experience the security of the software, and there have been 50,000+ visits in games containing the algorithm.
Future Improvement
In the future, we hope to convert to a machine learning model to better improve the accuracy of the software.
Product #2: Alt-Detector (WIP)
What are Alternate Accounts?
Alternate accounts (alts) are secondary accounts made by a single user with the goal of exploiting, cheating, or smurfing inside a game without getting punished on their main account.
Studies have shown that user toxicity, harassment, and exploitation rates are greatly increased on alternate accounts.
Main Challenge
Identifying an alternate account in comparison to a main account is difficult. Each game has its own flags and indicators.
Our Alt-Detector Bot
Our product is a Discord Bot, through which users can manually check an account to see the percent chance that it is an alt.
Our detection algorithm uses machine learning to analyze accounts, and scores them with similar methods as the Google Search algorithm.
Future Impact
Our product is still a work-in-progress, but on release we hope to reduce the prevelancy of alts in online gaming platforms.
We hope to spread awareness and encourage reports of alternate accounts. Every barrier added prevents a subset of illegal activity.
