Hacking is the use of third party programs to alter a game or gain an unfair advantage. Valve has a strict policy against hacking and will ban detected hackers with the Valve Anti-Cheat system also known as VAC. Most hacks are of the following forms:
- Engine hooks which piggyback the client and report false information to the server
- Game information interception which record or report game data that should be hidden from the player
- Engine exploits which alter the game to the player's advantage
