Way to go.....
Most cheating in ED comes from players with relatively new or free accounts. Odyssey won't be free, and Frontier has generally been pretty good about taking action against people found using process manipulation, but if an ESP or cheat in which simply reading memory becomes useful, it could become a problem. Some cheats don't modify the game in any way. Instead, they provide a user with information that gives them an advantage, one which can't be 'proven' with a video recording. The only solutions for this kind of problem are A: rapidly stay on top of memory access anti-cheats by reverse engineering distributed cheats or B: modify the gameplay so that such cheats aren't useful. A requires a significant cost, and B often requires a major sacrifice in game quality.
Although, given what Frontier has done to their image with things like Dav's Hope, Jameson Crash, shield booster engineering, or instancing/blocking to name a few, whatever quality this game loses from a few Odyssey wallhacker aimbots will probably be dwarfed by lingering conceptual design mistakes.

Most FPS games need to be successful and players have to care before there is a cheat for them. Let's all hope there is a cheat for Elite Dangerous FPS, because that will mean it was a success!
FD will forever be a step behind those who write cheat software. The fact is virtually all such software writers are well seasoned hackers who can just as easily discover how developers like FD detected their software, and therefore adapt a work around.
Of course, game developers continue to protect their software from hackers in various forms. Blocking certain third-party software is a very simple way, but such tactics always keeps the developer at least one step behind the hackers. Others have been more pro-active (even as far back as twenty years ago) to the point of encrypting sensitive parts of their own game code, but even this kind of software protection still doesn’t stop it being successfully reverse engineered, either as static code or on the fly.
Do I condone cheating? Absolutely not! Those caught should have their accounts suspended for a month and game assets seized. Any further infringement should be followed by a lifetime ban.

Not really possible. New email account and credit card and here's your new account.
Then there's Epic...
