This cheat use PCIe DMA to read the memory of the target computer which is running CS:GO. No kernel/user space software on the target system is necessary and practically undetectable from the target computer.
My stance on this is it's inevitable and game design shall be changed to make this cheat irrelevant, by revealing everybody the all players location, thereby the player who use this cheat has no advantage over the other. I think it doesn't change the game that much for most of the game.
In case of the game which requires secret, it can be achieved by trusted authority server or by using mental poker algorithm.
My guess is, you can't use this system to modify the target memory without detection. Since it's impossible to change the multiple memory location atomically, it would be pretty easy to detect from the target computer.
Also the guess, but to detect this memory peak attack, you take control of all the memory bandwidth, no code but you can use all of the memory access, then consume all memory bandwidth with cache disabled so you can detect the slight bandwidth change that is either this attack, or it's DMA from the motherboard(Possibly malicious access from evil binary blob firmware such as Intel ME or AMD PSP)
