I personally am not aware of the exact practice of cheating on Freelancer, neither have I tried, so I'm just basing anything I say on someone who does have experience with it and explained it to me.
But it's a general rule that everything can be bypassed, if you put your mind to it. Tricking the anti-cheat into believing the hash matches would be possible in some way, for example.
