Glenn has a good point there. If 100% Cheater-freeness is technically unavailable, then what could we do to make it 95% or more? Maybe a method where the hacked client would have to do some procedure every few minutes that would take longer than that on a regular PC. Basicaly the same as RSA - everybody can crack it and knows how to do it, it's just it would take too long...
