Speedhack is a cheating technique that manipulates the flow of time referenced by a game client to make a character's movement or attack speed faster than it really is. A typical method is hooking time functions such as GetTickCount, timeGetTime, and QueryPerformanceCounter to return sped-up values; online games detect it by verifying time mismatches between the server and the client. It is a basic attack type covered alongside memory manipulation in the field of game security.
