Auto Stash Traps

Auto Stash Traps is a plugin for catching cheaters. Cheaters can usually see players through the map and can even see all the stashes buried by players. This plugin will spawn fake stashes across the entire map and when a cheater opens one of these stashes, the plugin will make a record to a oxide/logs/AutoStashTraps folder. With this information, you can later ban the cheater.

Server Armour is a plugin that prevents cheaters from joining your server. The plugin has a database of cheaters from all of the Rust servers and won’t allow any players recorded in the database to join your server. You can also set it to prevent players with VAC bans or new steam profiles. You can find the configuration file in the oxide/config folder.

No recoil

No recoil is another plugin for catching cheaters. It detects popular no recoil scripts that players use for easier gun control. You can set the plugin to automatically kick/ban the player upon detection.
