Trustdeck
A one-click dashboard for casual CS2 community server hosts who can't compile C++ plugins, with prebuilt detections, Discord alerts, and a mobile app showing live threat levels.
Hobbyist CS2 community server hosts who want protection without technical setup
- Pre-built anti-cheat container image deployable to any Linux box with one command
- Live 'threat level' dashboard with player flag history, recent kicks, and false-positive rate
- Discord/SMS alerts the moment a player gets flagged with the evidence attached
- Community blocklists that auto-share cheater fingerprints across the Trustdeck network
The trending GitHub project proves technical anti-cheat exists, but the audience running 12-person community servers are hobbyists, not C++ developers, so the build/distribution layer is wide open.
CS2AC has ~102 stars on GitHub with 17 detection modules and built-in Discord webhook reports, showing genuine hobbyist-host interest, but the niche of 12-person community servers is small and most hosts rely on free open-source plugins.GitHub - karola3vax/CS2AC: Server-side anti-cheat for Counter-Strike 2 community servers, built for Metamod:Source. ↗CS2 Dedicated Server Setup - Steam Community ↗
Multiple incumbents already overlap: CS2AC ships Discord webhook alerts and 17 detections out of the box, Fatality/GGServers offer 1-click MetaMod + CounterStrikeSharp installs, CS2-WebPlus-PHPWebPanel provides a full web panel with RCON/plugin manager, and CS2-SimpleAdmin/CS2 Server Bot handle Discord-side admin commands.CS2 Server Hosting - Fatality Servers ↗CS2-WebPlus-PHPWebPanel - CS2 Plugin | sourcemods.info ↗CS2 SimpleAdmin - Manage your Counter-Strike 2 server ↗
Hosting providers bundle 1-click MetaMod installs free with their $5–15/mo plans, open-source plugins like CS2AC are free, and hobbyists running 12-person servers rarely pay for premium overlays; clear, painful standalone pricing is hard to justify.CS2 Server Hosting - Fatality Servers ↗
Counter-Strike as a franchise has multi-decade longevity and CS2 community servers are a continuation of CS:GO's long-running scene, but Valve can change/limit community-server features and the AGPL/C++ plugin ecosystem requires ongoing compat maintenance.Counter-Strike 2 - Dedicated Servers - Valve Developer Community ↗
Wrapping CS2AC would force AGPL-3.0 disclosure, so detections must be independently built or licensed; plugin distribution + RCON + Discord webhooks are well-understood engineering, but a polished mobile app with live threat levels adds real client engineering work.GitHub - karola3vax/CS2AC (AGPL-3.0 license) ↗
