What is FiveM Spoofing and How to Prevent It on Your Server
Cheaters can bypass anticheat and FiveM bans with spoofers. Learn how ZeroTrust blocks repeat offenders with hardware identity verification.
FiveM spoofing is the process of faking machine identifiers so a banned player can reconnect as if they were a new user.
Today, both anticheat bans and FiveM bans can be bypassed by motivated cheaters using spoofers.
Why standard checks fail
A common mistake is relying solely on GetPlayerToken. These tokens are unique per server and relatively easy to bypass, making them unreliable for long-term identity trust. While some claim that TXAdmin bans HWIDs, it actually only uses the native GetPlayerToken, which is also relatively easy to bypass.
How ZeroTrust anti-spoofing works
ZeroTrust recovers stable physical identifiers from the PC and builds a hashed unique identity for each player that can be trusted across servers using ZeroTrust Anticheat.
ZeroTrust bans are also cached, the player’s unique hardware identifier (HWID) is stored in the cache at multiple locations on their computer. This hardware identifier is also saved and verified via the ZeroTrust API during login validation.
