Abstract

Since online game becomes more and more popular and virtual assets can be transferred to real money which motivated malicious players using illegal means like “cheating” to gain the profit or superiority in the game. Therefore, we have researched existing online game cheating practices and make recommended defenses against such computer crimes. We improved existing online game cheating classification by enhancing the scope, perspective, structure and comprehensiveness of all the existing classification schemes. We also survey related defense methods against online game cheating and integrate all the public known defense strategies and methods which are applicable in each classification category and make suitable defense recommendations.
