First off, What is VAC?
VAC is :"Valve anti-cheat" ; used in all valve games..
VAC has many ways of detecting hacks but most common way to detect them is a cheat database with all "Known" cheats to valve.
VAC runs when you open steam and scans your entire hard drive for known MD5 hashes of hack files (The hash of a file is a code that is mathematically calculated and every file/text has a diffrent one).If vac detects a blacklisted file on your hard drive, it wont get you a VAC ban but it will blacklist your account for more aggressive in-game scans.
Also vac scans your DNS cache and hashes every site you visited (just as files in your hard drive) and checks back to VAC servers for blacklisted site md5's
Then main VAC scan module runs when your connected to a VAC secured server. When your connected to a vac secure server, vac scans for:
Games memory for known cheat signatures (MD5 hashes)
It checks running processes, traces their file location and hashes them for known cheat signatures
Scans game directory for material wall hacks (or other modifications to the game files)
As soon as one cheat signature "black listed md5s" gets detected with any of the above ways while your connected to a VAC secured server, your account will be flagged for a future VAC ban.
-When will i get banned after i used a detected cheat/hack?
VAC bans are delayed and they're based on the complexity of the cheat that was detected.
Usually public cheats get detected within 2 hours-2 days
while other VIP cheats may get detected in weeks or months. Also VAC doesn't show any message when a cheating infraction is being made so you cant know what cheat got you banned.
-Can i get unbanned and get my items back if i got vac banned?
No you cannot get unbanned because valve has a "Zero tolerance cheat policy" and no vac bans will be lifted and you wont get any deleted/locked items back.
-Can a vac ban be issued by mistake?
Yeah nothings perfect, but you must be really lucky for a anomaly in the game's memory to look like a cheat signature for VAC.
-All of this sounds good but i don't believe it, do you have any proof?
Well yes i do,
Download TF2 (team fortress 2)
Download lmaobox public version (TF2 Cheat)
Play on a secure server without hash changing or renaming the hack.
Get VAC banned within a random amount of time between 2 hours and 2 days
-How can i bypass VAC?
VAC's main way to detect hacks is by cheat signatures so hash changing your hacks and renaming them may delay your VAC ban a lot. Although there are many other ways VAC detects hacks, but in this thread im saying the most common ways vac detects hacks.You always take the risk to get vac banned when cheating in VAC games, you may get banned you may not...
-If i get VAC banned on 1 game will i get vac banned for all games?
No, vac bans by engine for example if you get vac banned on CS:S that uses source engine you will get VAC banned on TF2 too cause it uses source engine too. Many valve games use source engine, surprisingly CS:GO doesnt so that means if you get a TF2/source engine ban you will be still able to play CS:GO (counter strike:global offensive)
-Is VAC effective?
Well it is because it prevents every raging kid from googling and downloading hacks by giving them a VAC-ation.
Proof: 2 million accounts on steam are VAC banned cause people use detected/outdated hacks...
I just wanted to Bring you guys aware of what is VAC
