Anti-cheat for Garry's Mod servers

It doesn't care what they paid for the cheat. Mizan's anti-cheat judges how each player aims, moves and shoots, so the private build gets the same welcome as the free one.

Opening to Garry's Mod communities one at a time.

What it detects

Twenty cheat features we're happy to name. Over a hundred more we keep to ourselves.

Aim and shooting

AimbotLocks the player's aim onto enemies.
Silent aimLands shots on enemies without moving the player's crosshair.
Auto fireA triggerbot: fires the moment an enemy is under the crosshair.
Rapid fireFires semi-automatic weapons as fast as an automatic.
Double tapFires two shots in the time the weapon allows one.
No recoilCancels the kick of every shot, so a spray stays on target.
No spreadSends every bullet exactly where the crosshair points.
BacktrackHits enemies where they stood a moment earlier.
Engine predictionPredicts the player's next move so the other cheats act on it early.

Movement and view

Anti-aimTwists the player's model so shots miss, spinbots included.
Movement fixKeeps the player running straight while the cheat turns their view.
Fake duckShows the player crouching while they shoot from standing height.
Air stuckHolds the player frozen in mid-air.

Time and position

Fake lagHolds back movement and sends it in bursts, so the player seems to teleport.
Slow motionSlows the game down for the cheater alone.
WarpMoves the player a long distance in an instant.
Sequence freezingFreezes the player for the server while they keep moving on their own screen.

The server itself

Game eventsFakes game events the player never caused.

Six families, each yours to tune

Switch any of them off, or choose how sure each must be before it opens a case.

RelaxedNeeds more before it opens a case: fewer detections, fewer to review.
BalancedRecommendedMizan's recommended setting.
StrictOpens cases on less, for your staff to review only. Alerts, kicks and bans still need full evidence.

Recoil and spread only add to cases for review. They never act on their own.

You decide what happens next

New servers start in report only. Nothing happens to anyone until you say so.
