CS2 player completes master's thesis on system that fingerprints cheaters by mouse and keyboard habits to make bans follow across accounts
A Counter-Strike 2 player has completed a master's thesis on a system designed to make bans follow cheaters across accounts by identifying players through their unique mouse and keyboard habits, according to Dexerto. Tom's Hardware later reported the same work as a method for fingerprinting cheaters using Counter-Strike mouse and keyboard input patterns. The researcher is not named in the available evidence, but a photo shows the player presenting at a lectern labeled NTNU Gjøvik, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Gjøvik campus.
