[PS2][SCUS_972.75] SOCOM II
This is in NO way a code for cheating online. This code is only for detecting players who are using specific codes in an online/LAN lobby.
Tutorial information:
About this code:
This code detects players trying to hide with unique team IDs, or players using codes to hide their name, in the online/lan lobby. These players will be refered to as phantoms. Phantom players will show up in the spectator box. Players using no name codes will show up as "phantom".
Q: Why make something like this?
A: People on socom using codes called phantom and no name can join your game and be completely hidden visually. These people are obviously cheaters or glitchers and it allows you to hold the game from starting if one is detected.
How to create the code(this is strictly based on SOCOM 2, others games will be vastly different)
1: Find out how players are changing their team ID and how they are using no name codes to hide their name.
2: Debug the lobby to find where the player pointers for the lobby are stored. In SOCOM 2 there is a player persona stack that has the info for each player such as: team ID, player name, etc.
3: Find the team ID for each team(for SOCOM 2 there are 3 teams: seals, terrorists, and spectators).
4: Write a code that checks the team ID and name of each player, if the team ID is not equal to one of the above three teams then force that player to the spectator team by overwriting their team ID. If the player does not have a name then force their name to be "phantom" or "cheater".
That's all there is to it. I will include the source below to give you a better understanding.
Here is an image that has 11 players in the lobby, several with no name and several that simply do not show up because they are using unique team IDs.
Here is an image with the code that detects the unigue team IDs and no name players.

Tutorial information:
- Online/LAN lobby cheater detection. (NOTE: This tutorial only goes over detecting unique team IDs and players hiding their name)
- This is strictly a method tutorial since each game is extremely different when it comes to the mechanics of an online/LAN lobby.
