Valve & VAC2 Overview

The admin's cheat-sheet on cheat-sheets: how VAC2 actually worked, and what happened when it caught you.

An admin post in the CS:S Support section breaking down VAC/VAC2 detection status categories (VAC2 Proof, Detected, and Unknown) and explaining what a VAC ban meant for a Steam account. It includes practical disclaimers lifted partly from Valve's own site, warnings that bans were permanent and unappealable, and a nudge toward the site's hack database for those who wanted to keep playing without full detection risk. The tone is house-rules-meets-customer-service: matter-of-fact, slightly cheeky, very much of its era in the 'cheat scene' where forums openly hosted this kind of support content.

Word of advice, if you cant live without hacking then I advise you to use texture hacks— Shifty.
Valve have 0 tollerence for hacking and will not take sympathy votes so dont waste your time emailing or posting on their forums.— Shifty.

Hoh 2.2 Removed: CS:S Hack Pulled Amid Cross-Forum Beef

A CS:S hack vanishes from the Releases board, and members start pointing fingers at rival site drama

A short Support-board thread from October 2007 where a member noticed the 'Hoh 2.2' Counter-Strike: Source hack was missing from the Releases section and asked why. Replies range from someone saying their download scanned clean, to speculation about it being pulled over cross-site politics involving a named individual tied to a rival forum ('P7'). Classic small-scene forum moment: a tool disappears, nobody official explains much, and the community fills in the blanks with rumor.

CS:S Support FAQ - Read Before Posting

The stickied FAQ every CS:Source hacker had to read before begging for help in Support.

A pinned support thread from the Counter-Strike: Source Support subforum, posted by admin Malware in late 2006. It's a catch-all FAQ answering the most common newbie questions about using cheats from the site's release section: how to unzip files, load order for injection-based hacks, fixing DLL/menu errors, keyboard layout quirks preventing menu navigation, and reassurances about VAC/demo bans. Very much a 'read this before you post the same question for the hundredth time' housekeeping thread typical of cheat forums of the era.

Can I be banned by VAC from a demo? A) No! This is against steams stated policy so it isn't going to happen.— Malware
ALWAYS READ THE README.TXT, that will solve some common problems associated with the hack— Malware

Aimbot That Doesn't Make Headshots

A newbie wanted his aimbot to look less obvious — the regulars mocked him, then told him anyway.

A new member ('fkunknown') asked for help configuring an aimbot to avoid always going for headshots, hoping to look less suspicious in Counter-Strike: Source. Regulars ribbed him for not searching first, with one member ('-Darkness-') pointing to an outside cheat site before being scolded by longtime member '-Still Life-' for linking off-site. Others chimed in with general banter about hitbox/aimspot settings and silent aim to avoid looking like an obvious cheater, all wrapped in the forum's usual sarcastic, joking tone. The thread is a small, everyday snapshot of the site's cheat-support culture and its in-jokes about regulars' many aliases.

fizzer's Bunnyhop-Only VAC Panic

Dude only wanted to spacebar-bunnyhop and ended up convinced VAC 2 was coming for his soul over a demo file.

A member named fizzer panics after a bunnyhop session goes weirdly glitchy (screen tilting) and he hears someone has a demo of him, fearing a VAC 2 ban despite swearing he only had bunnyhop enabled. The thread turns into a mini FAQ where regulars patiently explain that demos alone can't trigger a VAC ban (VAC scans your PC, doesn't rely on footage), and that his issue was probably just a spinbot-style script glitch. It ends amicably with fizzer thanking everyone and switching to a different, apparently more reliable bunnyhop tool recommended by rnie, who signs off correcting his own nickname's spelling.

im your [FkN] friend alright? ... please help with this coz people said they have a demo of me doing this but i didnt no it and i could be VAC 2 banned please help!!— fizzer
A demo cannot, repeat, CANNOT get you VAC banned. VAC will only ban you if you are caught by the scans they do on your PC/Folder.— qwerty54

Source Industries VIP Hack Inquiry Thread

A newbie just wanted proof the cheat wouldn't get him banned — instead he got a referral pitch, a trojan accusation, and a Manager's cameo

A member ('qwerty54') asks for video proof that Source Industries' paid CS:Source VIP cheat was 'undetected' before he'd buy it. The thread meanders through referral-hustling from other members offering to make demo videos in exchange for points or referral credit, a brief scare about the cheat being a trojan (deflected onto a different, unrelated product), and questions about payment traceability via PayPal. It ends with a staff-shared YouTube demo video credited to member Shifty, plus an appearance from site Manager Shifty himself. Classic scene-era mix of low-level tech support, cheat-seller promotion, and forum hierarchy on display via member titles like [1K] 1000 Club and [Manager].

Fknowned CSS Hook Crashing After the May 2007 Update

A cheat user begs '8bit' to fix a broken aimbot while his whole Windows install quietly falls apart around him

A member named sidharth reports that his 'fknowned css_hook' cheat (aimbot, wallhack, ESP, etc.) stopped working and started crashing his game after a Counter-Strike: Source update. He pleads for the tool's author (8bit) to patch it and even compares it unfavorably to a rival hack. A retired supervisor, NutterNZ, chimes in to note that most hacks got detected/broken after the May 31st update. The thread spirals into an unrelated tech-support mess involving a different tool (HL2Hook) crashing, missing service packs, and a botched Windows XP repair attempt with no install disc on hand.

Help disabling alters wallhack while keeping ESP

Guy wants the ESP, not the wallhack — a tiny 2007 support thread that says everything about the era

A short support thread in the CS:S Support section where user fizzer asked how to disable the wallhack component of an 'alters' cheat while keeping the ESP feature. DCLXVI replied quickly with a file-path pointer, and fizzer followed up reporting that the fix messed up his weapon skins. A tiny, mundane exchange, but a good snapshot of the casual cheat-support culture that filled these boards.

The BlackK 1.2 Console Spam Panic

A guy panics over normal CS:S console text and thinks he's about to get VAC banned — chaos ensues.

A user new to the 'Blackkpub1.2' cheat pasted his entire game console output into the Support forum, worried it meant something was wrong or that he'd get VAC banned. Regulars ribbed him for copy-pasting standard startup text, with a few jokingly warning he was doomed and others clarifying it was totally normal. The thread resolves anticlimactically: the hack worked fine all along, he just hadn't pressed the right key.

Hitbox mechanics explained: routine CS:S support thread

A noob asks how hitboxes work — and gets a surprisingly solid answer before mods slam it shut.

In this short Counter-Strike: Source Support thread from October 2007, a member called Painkill3r asked a basic question about how in-game hitboxes function. After a bit of back-and-forth clarifying whether the question was hack-related, regulars DCLXVI and -Still Life- stepped in with genuine explanations covering hitbox mechanics and field-of-view concepts, with rnie chiming in to praise DCLXVI's helpfulness. The thread wrapped up amicably with Painkill3r thanking everyone, and a moderator locked it as 'Problem solved' — a small, ordinary slice of the forum's day-to-day tech-support culture.

PLEASE HELP. UNABLE TO INJECT DLL?!?

A newbie's cheat won't inject, and the regulars mostly just clown on his Xfire

A one-post member ('Notliketheothers') asks for help after his cheat loader fails to inject on Counter-Strike: Source, even with supposedly 'VAC proof' versions. A few established forum regulars reply, though the advice quickly turns into a running joke about closing Xfire before launching anything. It's a small, typical support-board exchange from the site's cheat-scene heyday, showing off the casual troubleshooting culture and light ribbing that defined the place.

Need a little help with a hack...

A brand-new member can't figure out how to open his hack's menu — cue the community piling on with the most obvious answer in gaming history.

A newcomer named Sullivan introduces himself to Fkn0wned.com and asks for help getting a menu to appear for a CS:S cheat he'd downloaded after being pointed to the site by a stranger on Steam. Several regulars chime in with quick, half-joking answers about which keyboard key toggles the menu (Insert, Delete, or Home), reflecting the casual, help-each-other-out support culture typical of small cheat-scene forums of the era. The thread is short, low-drama, and mostly notable as a snapshot of everyday newbie onboarding on the site.

hack help - running a cheat on a 64-bit system

A member's 64-bit CPU wouldn't play nice with his cheat, and the ensuing tech talk turned into a delightfully over-the-top vocabulary showdown.

A short 2007 support thread from Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike: Source support board where a member (mr.N0Nam3) asked how to force a hack to run in 32-bit mode on his 64-bit processor. Another member admitted he didn't know, while a third (Ex777) offered a dense, slightly garbled technical explanation about 32-bit/64-bit compatibility, mixing up 'enumeration' with 'emulation' — which qwerty54 promptly called out. A small, mundane snapshot of the era's casual cheat-support culture, remembered more for the nerdy back-and-forth than the actual problem.

Help with material walls

A newbie asks how to install a wallhack, and the regulars roast him for not reading the readme

A member named artemis asks for help getting 'Jaska's 8 Bit Wallhack' material walls working in CS:S, unsure where to extract the files. Staff and regulars point out that sv_pure was already killing most wallhacks by late 2007, then walk through the basic materials-folder install before mocking the OP for not just reading the existing instructions. The thread turns into a running joke about people making low-effort support threads purely to pad their post count instead of searching for answers.

First of all most wallhacks don't work any more due to sv_pure enabled on plenty of servers.— Shifty.

SB-X Wallhacks Detected? (VAC2 detection worries)

One member wonders why VAC2 was flagging his SB-X material wallhack — the replies get cagey fast.

A short support thread from December 2007 on Fkn0wned.com's Counter-Strike: Source support board, where user Huzzah asks how VAC2 could be detecting a material-based wallhack (SB-X) and whether it was a mistake. A couple of other members chime in with theories, including one claiming something was hidden within the game folders, and Huzzah follows up wondering if it's fine when not actively running. It's a small, typical slice of the era's cheat-support culture — casual, half-informed troubleshooting about anti-cheat detection on a scene forum that also ran releases and general hacking discussion sections.

Best Hitbox Number for Aimspot Headshots

A guy asks which hitbox number gets him headshots — the mods sigh and answer anyway.

A short, low-stakes support thread from October 2007 where member iNVADER asks which aimspot/hitbox number is best for getting headshots. Moderator DCLXVI gently reminds him to post in the right section before answering, and regular rnie chimes in with his own preferred numbers for maximum effect. It's a quick, mundane snapshot of the site's cheat-support culture — tiny, technical, and casual, exactly the kind of low-effort question that filled the Support subforum. Notable mostly for the interesting fate of iNVADER, whose account status changes across archived captures of the page from Member to Banned.

Spartan2 Hack / Cocain Hook / Heroin Hook - what's the difference?

A CS:S regular asks why three differently-named cheats all look exactly the same — turns out they'd just been pulled anyway.

A short 2007 support thread in the Counter-Strike: Source forum where user qwerty54 noticed that several oddly-named cheat releases (Spartan2 Hack, Cocain Hook, Heroin Hook) shared identical screenshots and options, and asked what set them apart. Other members chimed in with theories, ranging from minor version updates to them all being the same underlying recode, before the conversation shifted to the fact that the tools in question had since been removed from the site, possibly over concerns they contained something malicious. A minor, everyday exchange capturing the churn and disposable naming culture around cheat releases on the board.

A noob asked what 'aimkey' even means, and the regulars actually answered him nicely (mostly)

"Hack, aimbot, esp, wallhack" — a newbie's request in CS:S Support

A total noob asks for a VAC-proof do-it-all cheat, and the forum regulars line up to 'help' — while one guy just calls the whole thread a fail.

A brand-new member with 8 posts asks for a CS:S aimbot/ESP/wallhack combo that's VAC-proof, admitting he doesn't know how to install exe hacks. A couple of regulars oblige with links and install steps for named cheat releases, other lurkers chime in asking for clearer instructions or how to tune the aimbot, and one veteran poster dismisses the whole thread as garbage.

Hack stopped working yesterday after Steam update - tehcss

One Steam patch bricked a CS:S cheat and sent a user straight to the support forum in a panic

A one-post member, ddiggler08, reported that a cheat known as 'tehcss' (running via a .dll and .exe pair) stopped working after a Steam client update, causing the game to hang on a blank screen until force-closed. A few regulars chimed in with brief theories — possibly detected, or simply broken by the CS:S update itself — in the low-key, matter-of-fact style typical of these support threads. It's a small but characteristic snapshot of the era: cheats routinely broke with client patches, and users came here first to troubleshoot before anywhere else.

Does Just Having a Hack Installed Get You VAC Banned?

Can VAC ban you just for having a hack installed but not running? The eternal cheat-scene urban legend gets debated.

A member named jacal panics after hearing a rumor that merely having a cheat on your computer (even unused) could trigger a VAC ban, and asks the Counter-Strike: Source support forum to confirm or debunk it. Several regulars weigh in with reassurances and half-technical explanations about how VAC actually scans for active game modifications rather than dormant files. It's a small, mundane slice of the cheat-scene FAQ grind — the kind of anxious 'will I get banned' thread that popped up constantly on sites like Fkn0wned.

Guy With Pirated CSS Wants Hacks to Work

Torrented Counter-Strike: Source, wanted cheats running too — the forum's answer: pay up.

A member named OneShotEddie admitted to running a torrented, non-Steam copy of CSS and asked for help fixing crashes when trying to launch it alongside a hack. Rather than offering a fix, regulars piled on with blunt 'buy it' and 'get a legit account through the trade section' responses, with a bit of ribbing about affordability. It's a small, mundane support thread but a nice time-capsule of the era's account-trading culture and the community's low patience for pirated-copy troubleshooting.

A brand-new member downloads a wallhack, finds 5,000 mystery icon files, and has absolutely no idea what to do next.

A one-post member named sackmon504 shows up in the CS:Source Support board totally stumped after extracting a downloaded wallhack zip, describing it as a pile of thousands of icon-like files with nothing to actually run. Two regulars, DCLXVI and rnie, reply with quick troubleshooting: asking what hack he's using, and dropping the classic old-forum tip that material/texture files are never .exe files.

Why do all the CS:S hacks here trigger antivirus?

New guy with 1 post asks why every CS:S hack he downloaded pings the antivirus — regulars are not impressed.

A brand-new member (1 post) asks why the CS:S hacks he downloaded triggered antivirus detections, naming a specific trojan flag. Veteran members respond skeptically, doubting he actually got the files from Fkn0wned given his post count, and explain that AV tools often flag legitimate injector-based hacks as false positives.

He follows up asking if he can hack his way back into a server he was banned from.

WALLHACK FOR DOD:S! HELP! PLEASE! PLEASE!

A brand-new noob begs the forum for a Day of Defeat: Source wallhack, all caps, no chill

A fresh member named dieter2929 posted a desperate, all-caps plea for any kind of cheat for Day of Defeat: Source, frustrated at getting beaten in servers. Fellow member own3d92 replied offering to dig up a 'material' wallhack he claimed was undetected.

blackk 1.2 help

A CS:S newbie begs the forum to explain aimbot settings without getting laughed off the board

A new member going by k3NzO posts in the Counter-Strike: Source Support section asking for help configuring a cheat called 'blackk 1.2', specifically wanting to know how to toggle aim assist on and off rather than have it fire constantly. A handful of regulars chime in over the following days with tips about FOV, silent aim, and smooth aim settings, in the typical patient-but-teasing tone of an old cheat-support forum helping out a rookie.

plz tell me how to setting hack. if i have Aimbot 1 than aim alone. this is not good. i want aim only when i want.— k3NzO

[RPG] No hacks? — CS:S Support thread

A member complains the cheat throws errors on RPG servers — staff basically shrug.

A low-level support thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Support forum where a member (Siemen) reports that the site's CS:S cheat errors out specifically on RPG-mode servers, which used to work fine. A couple of members chime in agreeing it's a known/unfixed quirk, with some lighthearted banter between regulars mixed in. Staff member PaRaNoID speculates the client 'goes crazy' on RPG servers but no fix is offered in the visible posts.

[Materials] Alters? - CS:S Wallhack Materials Thread

A 2008 CS:S regular goes hunting for his lost 'AltersWH' material hack after a computer crash — and finds every download link already dead.

A short Support-board thread in the Counter-Strike: Source section where user Siemen, a self-described graphics crew member, asks about the status of 'AltersWH,' a material-based wallhack he used to own before losing it in a computer crash. He wonders whether material hacks were still undetectable at the time and notes the site's database suggested some could be detected via console. Fellow member viper107 chimes in agreeing the download links have been dead everywhere, hoping someone will re-upload it. The thread trails off with Siemen posting again but no resolution captured.

Is it still the best 100% Undetectable material?— Siemen

Lemon's WH Wallhack Install Troubleshooting

Guy can't get his wallhack working, forum tries to talk him through it folder by folder

A member named 'love hacks' posts to the CS:S Support board asking why a wallhack cheat called Lemon's WH isn't working despite following the installer instructions, mentioning it broke his radar too. Regulars including '-Still Life-' and longtime member 'albert90' walk through basic troubleshooting like checking the materials folder path and sv_pure settings on servers. A brief tangent happens when a new member posts a cryptic 'unhide' that albert90 brushes off, and the thread ends with washingtonpayne suggesting a full uninstall/reinstall fix.

Why Is My Character Spinning? (HoH Spinbot Confusion)

A confused cheat user asks why his character keeps spinning 360 degrees — turns out it's a built-in feature, not a bug

A member using the 'HoH' cheat client for Counter-Strike: Source posted in the Support section asking why other players noticed his character spinning around constantly. Regulars quickly identified it as the spinbot/anti-aim feature bundled with the hack and walked through which menu toggle controlled it, with some side debate over whether FOV settings were also a factor. It's a small, typical slice of the forum's day-to-day: a support thread for cheat software, casual and helpful in tone, with members bantering about hack mechanics.

How to make material wallhack?

A CS:S noob asks how texture-hack materials are made, and gets pointed toward a rival modder's tool instead

A brand-new member ('eksatica') in the Counter-Strike: Source Support board asks about the process behind making a 'material wallhack' (a texture-based wallhack technique), having failed to get a link to a well-known one made by a modder called 'alter'. A more established member, 'washingtonpayne', replies with a general rundown of the software category involved and mentions owning a similar tool by another scene figure, 'Seth', offering to discuss further over PM. It's a short, low-drama support thread typical of the cheat-scene DIY culture of the site.

Since nobody gave me the link to alter`s wallhack, I have a question— eksatica
I ain't got Alter's....but I have Seth's Ultimate which is much better imho— washingtonpayne

The Scout That Wouldn't Cooperate

A former scout pro's aim goes mysteriously haywire the moment his cheat client is switched on.

A member calling himself McLovin! posts to the CS:S Support subforum baffled that his 'Revolt' cheat client's wallhack and radar work fine, but his scout rifle suddenly won't land hits he swears he used to make easily. Fellow member DJSketch chimes in with a quick technical theory about FOV settings interfering with headshots while crouched. It's a small, everyday slice of the site's cheat-support culture — mundane troubleshooting dressed up in classic forum bravado ('its not my aim lol').

24/7 Crosshair Hack Issues

New guy installs the classic 24/7 crosshair hack, everything works except... the crosshair.

A brand-new member ('isuckatcss', one post to their name) posted a support request about the once-popular '24/7 crosshair' hack for Counter-Strike: Source, saying the font changes applied but the circular crosshair itself wouldn't display. Forum veteran and staff member AKULA chimed in with a quick resolution suggestion (try 800x600) and a caveat that the crosshair might only render while scoped. A small, mundane but very true-to-era snapshot of the CSS cheat-support scene at Fkn0wned.

I just see the same 'ol CS crosshair instead of the circle... but the font changes, etc. all worked.— isuckatcss

how do i set up aim bot for blakk 1.1

A two-post support thread from October 2007 where new member bryan460, with only two posts to his name, asks how to set up an aimbot for a CS:S cheat called 'blakk 1.1'. Veteran member minitureman (681 posts) shuts it down within an hour, telling him to read the instructions/readme instead. It's a tiny, unremarkable but classic slice of the forum's day-to-day: newcomers wanting the cheat to just work, old hands with zero patience for it.

Aimkey - What Is It?

A CS:S newbie asks what an 'aimkey' even is, and the regulars politely school him.

A short, low-stakes support thread from October 2007 on Fkn0wned.com's Counter-Strike: Source Support board. Member DJSketch asks a basic question about what an 'aimkey' is and how it's used, and a couple of regulars (qwerty54 and DCLXVI) chime in to explain, with a bit of good-natured ribbing between the two over who deserves credit for the answer. Ends with DJSketch thanking both for the help — a small, friendly snapshot of everyday cheat-scene tech support culture on the forum.

Holzed Auto-Knifer + VAC2 Bypass Support Thread

A guy just wants Holzed's auto-knifer, VAC2 be damned

A short CS:S Support thread from October 2007 where user Fringo asks whether pairing a VAC2 bypass tool with the Holzed V1.1 cheat would keep him ban-free. Fellow member andr3zit0 warns that the bypasser isn't fully reliable and suggests using 'VAC2PROOF' cheats instead, but Fringo insists he specifically wants Holzed for its auto-knife feature since no other cheat had it. [FkN] Crew regular HaSh drops in at the end without adding much. A tiny, everyday slice of the era's ban-evasion chatter and cheat-brand loyalty.

The ONLY reason I want holzed is because of the auto knifer... and no other hack has that.— Fringo

How to install hacks [VIDEO]

A meister gets tired of PMs and drops a video tutorial instead

A support thread in the Counter-Strike: Source section where a member known as Dragon13 posted a YouTube video meant to explain hack installation, explicitly to stop people from messaging him individually with questions. The post notes the current hacks were already non-functional at the time but frames the video as a general reference for when new ones dropped. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene support thread, functional and low-drama, aimed at cutting down repetitive support requests.

Newbie Asks for Help Installing AMX Mod

A brand-new member wanders in asking someone to hold his hand through AMX Mod setup — and gets gently corrected on which mod he even means.

Two other members reply: one points him toward his server provider as a first step, and another asks the clarifying question of whether he means AMX or AMXX. It's a small, mundane support thread typical of the everyday traffic that kept a server-admin-heavy community like this ticking along.

Help to use 8 Bits Materials (ver2) — CS:S Support

A newbie just couldn't get his wallhack textures to show up in de_dust — and the regulars weren't exactly patient about it.

A low-traffic support thread on Fkn0wned.com's Counter-Strike: Source board where new member 'moron2u' asked for basic help installing a texture-based cheat file ('8 Bit Materials ver2'). A few regulars, including super-mod NoNamE! and longtime member 'that 1 dude', walked him through folder placement, but he still couldn't get it working. The thread ends with a suggestion to just switch to a different, more up-to-date tool. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a nice little snapshot of the everyday tech-support grind that kept these cheat forums running.

BAllin Hook - Panic Key Question

A member asks what the 'panic' button on a cheat actually does — cue the old-school cheat-scene tech support.

A short, quiet support thread from October 2007 in the Counter-Strike: Source support board, where user DJSketch asks what the 'panic' function of the 'BAllin Hook' cheat menu does. A couple of regulars (DCLXVI and rnie) chime in to explain the concept in general terms — a quick failsafe to make a cheat look inactive on the fly — and DJSketch thanks them. It's a small, mundane exchange typical of the era's cheat-support culture, more notable as a time capsule than for any drama.

[Easy, I guess] Crosshair.

Member asks for a simple always-on sniper crosshair — and gets an unrelated flashlight idea instead.

A CS:S Support thread where user Siemen requests a small, persistent crosshair overlay that stays visible even while scoped in with sniper rifles, specifically wanting to avoid the unusual dot-style crosshair previously uploaded by another member named Shifty. Banned member Anexxion chimes in agreeing it's hard to find, then veers off suggesting a 'red dot flashlight' idea instead. The thread is short and low-drama, just a typical low-key technical support request from the CS:S subforum.

HELP WITH SPINBOT

A brand-new member's very first post: 'wat key is used for spinbot in the hax?'

A one-post-count newcomer named gorillas asks in the CS:S Support subforum how to bind the spinbot key in an unspecified cheat client. Longtime [FkN] Crew member AKULA replies with a generic pointer about setting up mouse-button keybinds and offers further help. A tiny, mundane support exchange typical of the forum's cheat-support culture rather than anything dramatic.

A few regulars chimed in with the usual troubleshooting folk wisdom of the era — reinstalling CSS and Steam — while another noted the same problem persisted on Vista. It's a small, mundane tech-support snapshot typical of the forum's Support subforum: cheat clients named, crashes complained about, no real fix found.

New member can't get RapidShare downloads working — staff points him back to the fkn0wned database instead

Regular DJSketch and staffer PaRaNoID chimed in to explain that most hacks were already hosted on the site's own database, complete with screenshots and install instructions, making RapidShare unnecessary.
