I am geniunely curious how anti-cheat works on an PC with physical access, where user can plug their mouse loaded with cheats.

For every malware anti-cheat there will be sandboxing cheat.

That's a good point. I realise my question partly plays into a misconception about the security of closed source software, that it's somehow harder to mess with.

I mean people are training neural nets to look at the screen and aimbot by modifying the mouse inputs, which is just an impossible thing to detect.
