I've noticed some opponents playing very suspiciously, particularly when I deliberately play unpopular secrets such as vaporize. It's as if they know what cards are in my hand and can see my secrets. I could just be paranoid but it seems very fishy when I purposely design a deck that is different from all the meta decks and they still somehow anticipate all my plays.
You'll need a little more than suspicion to get any results I'm afraid. If you suspect a bot account or actual cheater, you can report the incident to hacks@blizzard.com (include name, time of game, screenshots of fishy things, etc.), but otherwise there's nothing more you can do.
I usually play around Vaporize anyway too--doesn't cost me anything to attack with my Sheep first ;)

The vaporize situation was weird because they only had one minion to attack with and chose not to attack, I understand that everyone will attack with their least valuable minion first to test.

I'm not accusing and specific player.
Well that's the right play to do, I wouldn't attack with my big minion either in that situation. Also assuming you didn't play that secret on turn 3, after which your opponent played 2x innervate -> Force tank, he had seen some of your cards so he knew you weren't playing a meta deck, so it would be logical to assume you had some unpopular cards like Vaporize.
don't think you can assume people can see your cards just because they play around them. I think it's pretty common to play around unpopular cards when you think that's one of the few things that can lose you the game.
If deck tracker can see your cards before they are drawn, then the same coding can be use to see your opponents.
deck trackers use log files to determine what's going on in the game. The log files are held locally on your computer so you can look at them yourself.
The log files list the cards you can see just as the game reports it to your computer. Thus your hand, your pulled cards, cards you see by joust, and so on. That's it.
The 'it knows what I get before I see it' is due to the game not working INSTANTLY after the data is sent. That is, the game already knows your 3-4 cards you get in your opening hand the second the game begins and all that delay while they announce the players is 100% for show. Same for when it detects your next card while your opponent is playing: in truth they already hit end turn and your PC knows it, but wants to show you all of the cute animations first.
Still, the log only shows what you will know. All of your opponent's information is stored in the blizzard servers and is NOT given to you until it's exposed.
So no, you can't make a HS version of the Map hack, even using deck tracker technology.
Personally, I find it very surprising that people keep seeing conspiracies everywhere, for example when the opponent plays the right cards to beat you, when he plays around a secret, when they keep seeing bad RNG from summoned creatures or in packs etc. etc. I guess it's an attempt to rationalise things beyond our control.
That "suspicious behavior" is just skilled play really. I personally play around Vaporize whenever I'm facing a mage (or anytime a mage secret gets played by some other class). If you only have one creature on the board and your opponent plays a secret and doesn't do much else it's most likely Vaporize, Mirror Entity or Ice Barrier. It's not all that uncommon to play around as many options as possible and not attacking into it is the best way to go if you aren't sure.

Exactly. Most folks are pre-disposed to see conspiracies everywhere. Its a way or rationalizing and it is very prevalent in gaming for some reason. My personal philosophy is that the most simple and least complicated explanation to a problem is usually the right one. It comes from the principle called Occam's Razor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor
Folks are always looking for ghosts in the machine. Fact is 99.9% of the time you are overlooking the obvious answer. In the case OP presents, the obvious answer is that his opponents were good players playing around his potential secret. End of story.

I've noticed this too. However when I google any bots or hacks I seem to find nothing.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
No. Only if he has remote Access to your computer or sniff into your Internet traffic.
