I understand the desire for powerful anti-cheat, but this is such an intrusive way go go about it. And it's increasingly pointless since you can't detect cheats which are running on a second PC [0]. Instead, this sounds like a great application for machine learning. Train an algorithm to identify a wide suite of cheats using data passed to the server. It wouldn't work for P2P, but if your competitive matchmaking uses P2P then you have bigger problems.
