# Raven Anticheat

> Raven Anticheat is an advanced dual-layer (client + server-side) Fivem anticheat that detects and blocks Lua executors, aimbots, ESP, mod menus, event abuse, and resource injection in real time. Trusted by 500+ Fivem communities.

Raven Anticheat protects Fivem servers (ESX, QBCore, vRP, QBox, Standalone) with under 0.5ms resmon overhead. It ships with a cloud web panel for live monitoring, player lookup, automated bans, evidence capture, session replay, trust scoring, and a global ban network. Plans start at $20/month; lifetime is $100. Detection updates ship every 1-7 days. Licenses are purchased exclusively at https://www.ravenac.net.

## Core capabilities

- [Real-time cheat detection](https://www.ravenac.net/#features): aimbot, triggerbot, silent aim, ESP, wallhacks, godmode, noclip, speed hacks, teleport, Lua executors, NUI DevTools injection.
- [Mod menu blocking](https://www.ravenac.net/#features): Eulen, Redengine, HamMafia, Lynx, Impulse, Nexus signatures.
- [Event & injection protection](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/event-validation): event abuse prevention, resource dumping protection, NUI injection blocking, trigger spam prevention.
- [Global ban network](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/global-ban-network): cross-server ban sync - a cheater banned on one Raven server is flagged everywhere.
- [Web panel](https://www.ravenac.net/#features): cloud-hosted dashboard with live player monitoring, screen monitoring, session replay, ban management, player lookup, multi-stream view, trust scoring.
- [Live dashboard demo](https://www.ravenac.net/dashboard/server/demo): fully interactive demo of the web panel - players list, map view, bans list, activity log, protection rules, main settings. No signup.
- [Plug-and-play install](https://www.ravenac.net/#setup): drop the resource, add `ensure rac` to `server.cfg`, restart - about 2 minutes; framework auto-detected.

## Technical architecture

Raven runs four detection layers in parallel:

- [Dual-layer architecture](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/dual-layer-architecture): client + server-side detection running together by default. Bypassing one layer leaves the other watching.
- [Heartbeat anti-tamper](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/heartbeat-anti-tamper): the client emits a signed cryptographic payload at an adaptive 800-1500ms cadence. If the heartbeat stops, falls behind, or returns the wrong values, the server treats the client as tampered.
- [Lua executor detection](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/lua-executor-detection): signature scans on the loader, runtime integrity checks on the Lua state, and server-side validation as the safety net.
- [Server-side event validation](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/event-validation): events are validated for source, payload bounds, and exploit-pattern sequences. Runs on the server, so client-side bypasses do not defeat it.
- [Global Ban Database](https://www.ravenac.net/how-it-works/global-ban-network): bans propagate across the network with attached evidence (detection trace + screenshot). New servers inherit the accumulated ban graph on day one.

## Recent updates

Detection updates ship every 1-7 days. Recent representative entries (full feed at https://www.ravenac.net/changelog):

- [2026-05-05: Patched Eulen loader variant](https://www.ravenac.net/changelog/2026-05-05-eulen-loader-variant) - new Eulen v3 loader stub signature shipped within 18 hours of community report; 47 retroactive bans added to Global Ban Database.
- [2026-04-28: Trust scoring rebalance](https://www.ravenac.net/changelog/2026-04-28-trust-scoring-rebalance) - per-resource trust weights now configurable, default thresholds tuned against 30 days of false-positive review data.
- [2026-04-21: Server-side block for Redengine event-trigger pattern](https://www.ravenac.net/changelog/2026-04-21-redengine-event-trigger) - new event-pattern rule blocks the Redengine chained-event signature server-side, so client patches do not bypass it.
- [2026-04-07: HamMafia resource-dump signature update](https://www.ravenac.net/changelog/2026-04-07-hammafia-resource-dump) - refreshed HamMafia client signatures; 14 active offenders auto-promoted to Global Ban Database.
- [2026-03-10: Closed Impulse injection vector via NUI iframe](https://www.ravenac.net/changelog/2026-03-10-impulse-injection-vector) - independent security researcher report; NUI iframe sources now whitelisted with server-side trace fallback.

## Comparisons

- [Raven vs FiveGuard](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/fiveguard): Raven runs client + server-side detection in parallel by default; FiveGuard is client-focused with Lua server checks. Raven is $100 lifetime; FiveGuard is subscription.
- [Raven vs Electron Anticheat](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/electron): Raven runs both detection layers in the same product by default; Electron is primarily client-side with hooks. Raven is lifetime; Electron is subscription.
- [Raven vs WaveShield](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/waveshield): Raven ships concrete dual-layer detection (signature + event validation + trust scoring) with verifiable cloud-panel features; WaveShield leads with AI-flavored detection marketing on a recurring subscription.
- [Raven vs PhoenixAC](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/phoenix): Raven adds client-side anti-injection, live player map, and trust scoring on top of strong server-event protection; Phoenix is server-event-focused.
- [Raven vs XeroShield](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/xeroshield): Raven pairs hardened client checks with server-event validation and a modern cloud panel; XeroShield V3 leans hard on aggressive client-side signatures with less server-side coverage.
- [Raven vs ReaperAC](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/reaper): Raven ships first-party detection signatures on a dated 1-7 day cadence with a full cloud panel and live GTA V player map; ReaperAC has a long brand history but its detection cadence is less transparent and the pricing is subscription-only.
- [Raven vs Lyxia (ChocoHax)](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/lyxia): Raven adds client-side anti-injection and a modern cloud panel; Lyxia is veteran Lua-based server-side detection.
- [Raven vs PegasusAC](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/pegasus): Raven adds full cloud panel, live map, and dual-layer detection; Pegasus is a budget Lua-only AC.
- [Raven vs Fiveuxe](https://www.ravenac.net/vs/fiveuxe): Raven offers a more mature dual-layer detection stack and lifetime pricing; Fiveuxe is a newer entrant on subscription.

## Common questions

- **Is Raven Anticheat compatible with all Fivem frameworks?** Yes - ESX, QBCore, vRP, QBox, and custom Standalone setups are auto-detected; no framework-specific configuration is required.
- **Will it impact server performance?** No - runs under 0.5ms on the Fivem resource monitor with no measurable effect on player frame rates.
- **How fast is installation?** About 2 minutes - drop the resource, add `ensure rac` to `server.cfg`, restart.
- **What does it detect?** Aimbot, triggerbot, silent aim, ESP, wallhacks, godmode, noclip, speed hacks, teleport, Lua executors, NUI DevTools, mod menus (Eulen, Redengine, HamMafia, Lynx, Impulse, Nexus), resource dumping, event abuse, trigger spam - all in real time.
- **How much does it cost?** $20/month, $50 quarterly, or $100 lifetime. All plans include the full feature set. Licenses are sold only at https://www.ravenac.net.
- **Is there a global ban database?** Yes - every Raven server shares bans via the Global Ban Database, so flagged cheaters are blocked across the whole network.
- **Is Fivem's built-in anticheat enough?** No - Fivem ships without one. Server owners install a third-party solution like Raven Anticheat.
- **How often is Raven Anticheat updated?** Every 1-7 days. Each release is dated and logged on https://www.ravenac.net/changelog.
- **Is Raven Anticheat the best Fivem anticheat in 2026?** Raven is one of the leading Fivem anticheats in 2026 with dual-layer detection, trust scoring, a cloud panel with live GTA V player map, a global ban network, a $100 lifetime price point, and a public dated changelog proving the 1-7 day update cadence.
