Cheating In The Name Of Science

How do I identify what is cheating in this game?
What do I look for when spectating a suspected cheater?
What do MWO cheats do for players in MWO?
I have a proposition for the community. Would the MWO community be interesed in seeing someone use a cheat program, document their experience via twitch or youtube video, and post it so you can see how these cheat programs work? I would be willing to sacrifice this account in order to provide an educational video for the community so that we may have a reference to base these accusations of cheating on.
What I am proposing is that I purchase a one month membership to this cheat program, play for 3 or 4 hours using this account and record my actions. There are several features that this program offers and I would test each one individually so that you can see how they work. You would get a first hand view of what to look out for when a player is cheating.
Once I have completed the video, I will delete the program from my PC. I have a main account with a few grand invested in this game that I have no intention of losing to cheating.
I'm sure I will get flamed for even suggesting this. However, I feel that there needs to be some kind of reference for players to go to before they start reporting people for cheating when it may just be anything but. So feel free to tll me what you think.

So, my advice, save your money, save your account, save your time.

There are 2 main areas of cheating,
-auto aim
-wall hacks
-auto aim does as it's name suggests and lets you make shots that would otherwise be impossible/very lucky to make (ie never miss). Things to look for would be strings of impossible head shots from extreme range. Very difficult to tell the difference between actual skill/luck and an aimbot.
-wall hack let you see where all the opposing team are all the time, sort of like a permanent map wide UAV. This would be even harder to tell it is in use but it would only take one person feeding that info to a whole team to completely tip the balance of a match.
I doubt if PGI would like you doing this anyway as advertising the cheat program will only help the cheat program developers.

Just be warned that the last time they banned a group of cheaters, they also banned their IP addresses... today they would likely also extend that to steam accounts if that´s possible.
The fact that, as others have stated, such videos already exist on youtube and are quite easy to find is another good reason not to go down this road. Why make the mistake yourself whn others already have so we can learn from it?
I personally wouldn´t even consider it, simply because I would like to be able to play the game again tomorrow.
And since this is technically discussing cheating, which in and of itself is already grounds for a ban if the Mods feel it appropriate, that´s all I´ll say. I´ll just hope that I didn´t play with fire too much by posting in the thread at all and will make myself scarce now.

PM me if you want video of pretty convincing aimbot use (Oct 2015), but pretty sure it's against the CoC to post them.
There's also Soy's (youtube adizmal) "realtalk.exe" which demonstrates the wallhack in action (with the above showing off the aimbot via spectator).

There is currently a video on youtube showing the exact hack in action. If people really are that curious I'd advise checking that out.

Like other threads related to cheaters and cheating programs, the CoC doesn't allow any player to use or encourage the usage of these programs, even if it is for "science".
If you think that someone is using a hack/cheating program, use the report tool in-game and/or send a mail to the support with screenshots/video if you can.
Be sure that PGI is using all Tools to identify all users that don't respect the game rules. All user identified as a cheater will be ban.
