[C++] Basic Wall Hack Tutorial - irishash

A 16-page, year-and-a-half-long chain of 'unhide plz' just to peek at one guy's D3D wallhack code.

irishash posted a spoiler-tagged, step-by-step D3D9 tutorial for coding a basic Counter-Strike: Source wallhack (with bonus snippets for fullbright, wireframe, transparency, and fog removal), crediting 'Azorbix and g-d' for the base kit it built on. The thread became a running joke of the fkn0wned Programming subforum: hundreds of members replying with nothing but 'unhide', 'thx', or one-word bumps just to reveal the hidden code, stretching from mid-2008 all the way into December 2009. It's less a technical discussion and more a monument to forum ritual — a classic 'hidden content' tutorial thread that ballooned to 16 pages almost entirely from unhide requests. One member (CratycloS) actually reported using it to build a working wall/nosmoke hack for CSS.

I hate to be an "unhider", but I really want to see this!— Agent766

this was very helpful. i have successfully made my own wall and nosmoke hack for css using this, it works and when i get better with interface and make a public release of it, i'll be sure to give you credit.— CratycloS

THANKS time to make some home made hax0r— fatalwounds

[fkn]Converter — the file conversion tool that phoned home

User posts a 'converter' tool, nobody can figure out what it converts, turns out it was quietly dialing a remote server — thread locked within days.

A member named saz shared a small utility called '[fkn]Converter' in the Programming subforum, but nobody could pin down what it actually converted files to. Staff and regulars grew suspicious of the vague description, and after a VirusTotal check and further scrutiny, a moderator confirmed the file was backdoored and tried connecting to an outside IP. The download link was pulled and the thread locked, with a standing warning that Fkn0wned staff hadn't vetted the file before it went up.

Closed because application is backdoored and tries to connect to another ip adress.— lam3r

Don't download it, it's a virus.— linkkrw

I still don't understand what this is supposed to convert files to...— lam3r

[Week 2] Coding Contest — Exe Packer/Cryptor Challenge

Fkn0wned launches its first-ever coding contest: build an undetectable exe cryptor, win a Steam account and elite forum status.

Founder TuxifieD kicked off a planned weekly coding contest series on the Tech & Security > Programming board, with Week 1's challenge being to write an exe packer/cryptor capable of making files (tested against the Poison Ivy trojan) undetectable by antivirus scanners on Windows XP. Prizes included a Steam account for first place and 'Affiliate Coder' status granting access to a private section with past winners' source code. The thread turned into a running technical discussion, with members like SuperNovaAO and moron posting progress updates, screenshots, and AV-scan results as they iterated on their crypters, debating heuristics, sandboxing, and obfuscation tricks along the way.

AVG keeps detecting my shit. THE CHEAPEST AND WORST AV THAT THE WORLD EVER SAW DETECTS IT!— SuperNovaAO

Plus it uses actual encryption+unpacker obfuscation, so it's 100% undetectable unless every script kiddy on the planet starts using it (hence non 100% public release).— moron

The next contest will be some different from crypting/encrption— TuxifieD

[C] CS:S Hack Sources by w0lf

One member dumped a stash of Counter-Strike: Source hack source code — and the thread ran eleven pages of pure 'unhide' spam.

In this Programming subforum thread from late 2008, a member named w0lf shared several old CS:S cheat source code archives (with names like Epic Xtreme, Nk 5.0, and VacSuxPrivSrcRelease) for others to study, noting they were VAC-detected and not his own leak. The thread quickly turned into the classic forum ritual of members replying with little more than 'unhide,' 'ty,' and gratitude to reveal the hidden download links. Moderator IrishAsh pinned the topic for visibility, and it clearly struck a chord — running to 11 pages of replies over following weeks, a sign of how prized cheat source dumps were in the community at the time.

Note: I didn't leak this, it was post from somewhere on the net..— w0lf

Holy shit thank you sooo much... mad props to you— eskimo

nice post w0lf, gonna pin it— irishash

AuraStomper Crypter 0/24 100% FUD (by IDONTuseLOTION)

A '100% undetected' crypter release that aged into a full-detect trojan drop right in front of everyone — thread locked with a 'DO NOT DOWNLOAD!'

In the Programming subforum, a low-post-count member named IDONTuseLOTION released a crypter tool called 'AuraStomper,' claiming a clean 0/24 scan result and instructing readers to only verify it on one specific scanning site. A crew member immediately called out the suspicious post-count and site-specific scan advice as a red flag. Weeks later another member re-scanned the file and posted a fresh multi-engine report showing it now flagged widely as a trojan dropper/backdoor, confirming the original suspicion. A moderator ('Speedo') closed the thread with a blunt warning not to download it, making this a small but clear-cut case study in the forum's crypter/FUD-scene skepticism and self-policing.

You have how many posts? And your telling us to scan only on a certain website because it will be positive if it isn't scanned on that site, LOL.— vermiLLion

oh.— heyitsmike

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! Closed— Speedo

Dos Program Wanted (aka the classic DOS vs DoS mixup)

New guy asks for a 'dos program' for CSS, gets told to open cmd.exe, chaos ensues

A newer member calls out for a 'dos program' related to Counter-Strike: Source, prompting a member to sarcastically walk him through opening Command Prompt. When he clarifies he actually meant a Denial-of-Service tool, the thread turns into classic forum ribbing — vets telling him to search the board and contribute before requesting, someone suggesting he just Google well-known tools, and a final jab calling him a 'skiddie' for not specifying in the first place. It's a short, locked thread that's less about the request and more a snapshot of the board's culture: low patience for lazy asks, heavy in-group slang, and a pecking order where new members get mocked for not doing their homework.

Yeah sure, just click Start then press run. A dialogue will come up. Type the following using your keyboard: C M D There's your dos, man!— S3RK

1. Search the board, there's a few DOS tools already on here. 2. Contribute to the board. 3. Don't request until you've contributed, or you'll just get trolled.— lam3r

lawl specify what you mean in the first place fkin skiddie.— lulraep

So You Want to Write Game Hacks? (2006 Beginner's Thread)

A brand-new noob asks 'what do I need to learn to make hacks?' and the whole forum shows up to argue about C vs C++ vs Linux vs 'social skills'.

A user named mfg kicks off a classic newbie question in the Programming/Hacking section: what languages and skills are needed to start building game cheats. The thread turns into a meandering, mostly good-natured debate about whether you need to learn C before C++, whether books or free tutorials are worth it, and whether 'real' hackers need Linux instead of Windows. It's a snapshot of mid-2000s cheat-scene culture — earnest beginners, self-styled veterans dropping hot takes, and the usual mix of solid advice and confidently wrong claims.

C++ is a bitch to learn so gl.— Malware

yeah hacking without being a script kiddie is impossible with Windows Xp— Bloodstorm

there are plenty of hackers who arent skiddies on windows xp— Bounty-Hunter

IsItChristmas?.org — ap3x's PHP Date Gag Site

The Fkn0wned admin bought an actual domain just to tell you if it's Christmas yet — and broke it on Christmas Eve.

In this Programming subforum post from December 2009, [FkN] Admin ap3x shares the full PHP source for his novelty site IsItChristmas.org, a simple date() script that announces whether it's Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, or neither, with a countdown from December 1st. Fellow member lam3r immediately clowns him for a parse error breaking the live site, which ap3x quickly patches, followed by some light ribbing about ap3x blowing real money on a legit domain for a joke site instead of buying lam3r a copy of MW2 or L4D2. It's a small, good-natured, very of-its-era exchange showing off the site's PHP code alongside typical forum banter.

Parse error : syntax error, unexpected '<' ... fail lmao— lam3r

But wow you wasted money buying a legit domain for that? lolz— lam3r

I just had the money so I said... FUCK IT! Why the hell not? :p— ap3x

[VB.NET] Steam Keygen by Spaz

Spaz drops a fake 'Steam Keygen' with source — and casually admits at the end it's backdoored.

In the Programming subforum, longtime member Spaz posted a VB.NET 'Steam Keygen' tool with included source code, branded for the Team FkN crew, explicitly stating up front that it didn't actually work and was intended as bait for scamming or self-promotion. The thread got a handful of casual approving replies from regular members, and Spaz later revealed in a follow-up post that the file was backdoored — a joke acknowledged in the community's typically dark, jokey tone. It's a small but telling snapshot of the site's 'cheat scene' culture, where fake tools, scams, and trojans were openly discussed as pranks or scene humor.

THIS DOES NOT ACTUALLY WORK!?!? no— Spaz

Hope you get many steams with this :) (ps, its backdoored muhahahahah )— Spaz

STOP MAKING ME SEEM BAD.— Jamiee

The 256+ LongJump Script Begging Thread (and the Rick Roll)

A member begs for a rare CS 1.6 longjump script, and the thread devolves into a two-year chorus of 'unhide' — capped off by a classic rickroll.

User demon111 spotted a supposedly 'real working' LongJump script on a Russian cheat forum (cheat-world.ru) but couldn't access it without hitting a post-count requirement, and openly asked if anyone could hack the forum or auto-farm posts to get around it. The thread went nowhere for months, attracting a parade of low-post-count noobs who just replied 'unhide' hoping to see hidden content. Eventually longtime member -Darkness- trolled everyone with a fake link that was actually a Rick Roll, and the thread just kept collecting drive-by 'unhide' replies afterward with zero actual script ever shared. It's a perfect little time capsule of forum begging culture and copy-paste replies.

I wan-want-want... Maybe enyone can hack that forum? Or automatic collect posts?— demon111

remember, you got rolled by darkness.— -Darkness-

lol i been rick rolled like 80 times today— Sparkyp

[C++] Compiling C++ Sources — MillerLite's Setup Guide

The old-school guide for wiring up Visual C++ 6.0 so you could actually build the hacks everyone was trading.

A guide thread by MillerLite walking members through installing and configuring Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (plus Service Pack 6 and the Windows Platform SDK) so they could compile C++ projects — implicitly for the game hacks, botnets, and rootkits scene this section catered to. It warned Windows Vista users the setup wouldn't work and to run a VM instead, which led to a bit of grumbling from 64-bit users. The bulk of the thread is the classic low-effort bump/thanks train — dozens of one-word replies over nearly a year — showing how long-lived and often-referenced this kind of resource thread stayed in the Programming subforum.

ungrateful bastards.. BUMP.— MillerLite

NOES step four doesn't work with Windows 64x— clown1337

[FAKE] SteamHacker v1.0 — lam3r's Decoy Password Generator

A 'Steam hacker' that hacked nothing but your trust — built to be bundled with keyloggers and handed to unsuspecting kids on YouTube.

In November 2009, longtime crew member lam3r released a deliberately fake 'SteamHacker' tool on fkn0wned's Programming board — a program that did nothing but spit out random fake passwords, explicitly designed as bait so other members could bind it to loggers and trojans and pass it off as a real hacking tool to gullible downloaders. The thread got a warm reception from crew and VIPs, with members praising the idea, requesting mirror links when the first host was ad-choked, and openly discussing using it to 'attract kids on youtube.' One reply from 'albator' pushed back mildly, suggesting the fkn0wned credits/branding be stripped so 'noobs' couldn't trace the deception back to the site.

This program was made for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility for what people do with this program.— lam3r

hmm very nice I'd bind it with something and create carnage— NIX

thanks, this will attract all the kids on youtube— bl1ss

Fkn WebBroser [B3 RC] Release

A homegrown 'Fkn Web Browser' drops its third build, and the whole board shows up just to say 'unhide'

CTSSTC, a member of the Programming subforum, posted the release candidate (B3) of a custom-built web browser tool called 'Fkn WebBroser,' touting new features like an auto-unhide function, a smarter header-jump behavior, and a debug window. The thread is a classic hide-tag release post: a short technical writeup followed by page after page of members posting just to unlock the hidden download link, mixed with a handful of genuine compliments on the build. It's a fun little snapshot of the forum's programming culture and its economy of low-effort 'unhide' bumps.

unhide— joshuar

OH SHI- LET'S CHECK THIS BITCH OUT— h4voCK

STICKY THIS THREAD— Nickiller007

[D3D] Starter-kit v3.0b — Direct3D hooking/wrapper kit release

The go-to D3D hooking starter-kit that half the forum just spammed 'unhide' for

IrishAsh posted (crediting original author Azorbix) a Direct3D 8/9 programming starter-kit aimed at hobbyist coders building hooks/wrappers for game clients — covering interface setup, injector configuration, and converting a hook into a standalone wrapper DLL. The download was hidden behind a [hide] tag, so the bulk of the thread is a long, low-effort chain of members replying just to unlock it ('unhide plz'). It's a good snapshot of the Programming subforum's culture: a genuinely technical release buried under dozens of one-word bumps from noobs and low-post-count accounts chasing the file.

unhideplz— d1gitalSLR

Thanks, I can't find the one azor posted on g-d ;(.— Spenser

let me hv a look thz— windham

Motley's Programming Tutorial Megathread

One noob's link dump for 12 different languages turned into a forum staple that got pinned.

Back in July 2007, member Motley compiled a hidden (spoiler-tagged) list of external links to beginner tutorials covering everything from Assembly and Batch scripting to C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python, Delphi, Visual Basic, and QBasic. It was a simple resource-sharing post aimed at forum members getting into coding, and it caught on well enough that a moderator (ho0k-) said they'd pin it for its usefulness. Most replies are quick 'thanks'/'unhide' one-liners from members wanting to see the hidden link list, typical of the low-effort bump culture around [hide]-tagged resource threads.

Many people are looking for good programming tutorials, so I thought of putting them all into a topic.— Motley

Going to pin this. It's very useful. Thanks again pINKz.— ho0k-

Hello World!— zubetube

brian965's Rap-Generating Program Pitch

One member's ambitious 2009 plan to code an AI rap generator — years before anyone said 'AI' out loud

In this Programming subforum thread from late 2009, member brian965 laid out a surprisingly ambitious idea: a program that would take random subject nouns and auto-generate multi-verse raps by analyzing word pronunciations and rhyme patterns. The thread is mostly brian965 talking through the technical roadblocks (finding a pre-made pronunciation dictionary, detecting rhymes programmatically) while other members chime in with skepticism, language suggestions, and pointers toward sites like RhymeZone. Nothing was ever finished, but the thread captures the earnest, half-serious hobbyist coding energy typical of the forum's Tech & Security section.

nothing is too hard to make.— brian965

it is way to hard to make i think :/— Yunyun

sounds pretty fucking hard lmao...— lam3r

[Release] IPB Database Extractor (Perl script by c0777)

A bored coder's Perl script for parsing lifted Invision Power Board databases — posted in 2006, still limping along by 2009.

In the Programming subforum, member c0777 shared a small Perl script (credited in the code header to 'JaMMer077') designed to parse a raw Invision Power Board 'members_converge' database dump into separate lists of emails and password hash/salt data. c0777 framed it as a boredom project knocked out after being pestered by a 'n00b', and left the parsing rules unfinished, inviting others to improve it. The thread sat mostly dead for three years until a single 2009 reply from SpAzZOwNz reported the script didn't run right, with no further discussion. A classic slice of the era's forum culture: casual data-scraping tools shared as quick, half-finished 'releases' for internet clout rather than polish.

I coded this script because I was bored. Also, some n00b was bugging me too much about it.— c0777

I tried this but as soon as i open it it closes right back :(— SpAzZOwNz

PHP Week 1 Coding Contest - PayPal Donation Script

Fkn0wned tried to run its own weekly coding league — first prize: a Steam account and bragging rights among the site's coders.

Founder TuxifieD launched what was meant to be a recurring weekly PHP coding contest, modeled loosely on the site's 'Screenshot of the Week' format. The inaugural challenge asked members to build a PayPal donation-tracking script, judged by a mix of public voting and 'expert' coder evaluation, with a private win-blooded a rewards section, and top entrants gaining access to previous winners' source and a private affiliate-coder subforum. The thread laid out a full weekly schedule (announce, submit, judge, repeat) and an entry agreement giving Fkn0wned rights to use submitted work. Early replies show only a couple of members (Farkie, s0beit) casually signing on, suggesting the contest was ambitious in structure but modest in actual turnout.

Welcome to the first official Fkn0wned PHP coding challenge!— TuxifieD

Hm i'll enter— Farkie

[C++] Play2Hack Project source code release

One user open-sourced their entire Battlefield Play4Free cheat project for the community to pick apart

A member called ettans posted the full C++ source code for 'Play2Hack Project 2.1.5', a cheat/ESP tool built for the browser-based shooter Battlefield Play4Free, built on top of another coder's (CypherPresent) base. The post reads like a proud technical showcase, listing rendering, hooking and ESP features and framing the release as educational, gated behind the classic forum 'reply to see hidden content' mechanic. It's a good snapshot of the forum's programming subsection: reverse-engineering game internals and sharing source for others to learn from or build on.

Have fun and perhaps you'll learn something from this source.— ettans

Fkn0wned Exclusive !— ettans

DirectX8-9 vTable Enumeration Reference (str1k3r21)

The old-school copy-paste cheat dev reference: every D3D8/D3D9 vtable index laid out by hand.

A short reference post in the Programming subforum listing the full method-index enumerations for DirectX 8 and DirectX 9's Direct3D device vtables, posted by member str1k3r21 as a convenience resource for other coders/cheat developers. The post itself is just a dry, exhaustive numbered list of API function offsets with no discussion attached. It's a classic artifact of the era's 'cheat scene' programming culture, where hooking Direct3D internals was a core technique for building game hacks, and members shared this kind of low-level scaffolding freely. The thread saw no replies, typical of purely reference-dump posts.

Was not 'HARD' to get this, but it was 'LONG' to do it .. Nothing special but it helps some people instead of scrolling down counting. Love you all <3— str1k3r21

vermiLLion's CS Console Command Reference

The old fkn0wned cheat-scene reference dump of obscure Counter-Strike console commands, courtesy of a 3k-post regular.

A reference-style post by longtime [FkN] Crew member vermiLLion, listing a grab-bag of obscure Half-Life engine / Counter-Strike console commands, cvars, and client quirks he'd collected. Posted in the Programming subforum under Tech & Security, it reads like a community cheat-sheet rather than a discussion — the kind of utility thread regulars would bookmark. The post ends with an open call for others to contribute anything missing, suggesting it was meant to be a living community resource.

If anyone knows of anything that i did not post then please inform me of it and i will update the main post.— vermiLLion

[C++] DirectX8 Clean Base by str1k3r21

A game-hacking base code drop from the DX8 hooking era, credits and all.

In this Programming board post, member str1k3r21 shared a basic DirectX8 'clean base' — a foundational code project used as a starting point for hooking into DirectX8 rendering functions like Present and DrawIndexedPrimitive. The post credits several other scene figures (Gordon', Patrick, Dominik, z0mbie, Hans211) for various components, reflecting the collaborative, credit-sharing culture of the era's game-hacking/programming subculture. A screenshot was linked as proof the base worked, and a download was offered for others to build on.

This is a basic DirectX8 Base, it's clean.— str1k3r21

[BAT] Blue Screen Of Death — the fake-BSOD prank script

The batch file prank every bored fkn0wned kid used to mess with their tech teacher

xXHeistXx posted a simple batch script that fakes a Windows Blue Screen Of Death, complete with the classic IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error text and a mock memory dump. It's a lighthearted Programming subforum post rather than anything malicious — just a novelty prank script for scaring friends, classmates, or unsuspecting tech staff. The replies are almost entirely one-word 'ty/thanks/unhide' posts typical of a Boots & Keys era hide-tag thread, with vermiLLion admitting to using it on a tech teacher who wouldn't know a batch file if it hit him.

Saving right now. These are fun to do to the tech teachers because he is the tech guy and doesn't know what a batch file is XD— vermiLLion

PHP/MYSQL Weekly Contest? (Programming subforum)

Founder TuxifieD floats a weekly PHP/MySQL coding contest — the sign-up thread turns into a parade of 'count me in' one-liners and self-promo links.

Founder TuxifieD proposed a weekly PHP/MySQL coding contest as a companion to an existing win32 coding challenge, aimed at giving the site's web-focused coders their own arena to compete in. The thread is mostly a straightforward interest-check, with a long string of members signing up enthusiastically, several posting cheeky inline PHP snippets to say 'I'm in,' and a couple of newer members plugging their own personal sites in the process. Admin ZoaQ chimes in half-joking about preferring ASP.NET/C# over PHP. Overall it's a low-drama, community-building thread capturing the site's casual coder crowd circa mid-2009.

Ma skills! brawn ! <?php echo "hello world :-)" ?> I Likes ASP.NET and #C, more :D— ZoaQ

<?php $countmein = 1; if ($countmein == 1) { echo('Yeah! I'm in!'); } ?>— XLR8OR

OH me me me me, i dont hax anymoar but still i want to join teh contest whats the challenge?

Old TS Stuff... (2006 Geocities autoexec thread)

A 2006 Geocities link, twenty low-effort 'w00t' replies, and one very patient thread that spanned eight pages before it got locked.

Posted by Christ (aka DigitalEDD) in the Programming subforum back in September 2006, this thread was just a hidden link to an old 'autoexec.txt' file hosted on Geocities — presumably scripts or configs he'd shared before. What followed was a classic old-forum pile-on of one-word hype replies ('woot', 'dito', 'chea boi', 'vuv') from a mix of low-post newbies and forum regulars, with almost no actual discussion of the content itself. By the time it hit page 8 the topic had been locked, a fitting little time capsule of a Counter-Strike-era community more interested in bumping and vibing than substance.

hope theres some good foo scripts or somthing because i liked your last ones.— qwertyz

[PHP] Caturday Script by ap3x

An FkN0wned admin wrote a PHP script whose sole purpose was telling you if it's Caturday. That's it. That's the thread.

Admin ap3x shared a tiny, joke PHP snippet that checks the day of the week and displays a 'Caturday' cat image if it's Saturday (or a sad cat if not), inspired by seeing it as forum footer text elsewhere. The thread is pure lighthearted filler in the Programming subforum, with members mostly just replying 'unhide' to reveal the hidden code and a few dropping thanks. It's a small, wholesome snapshot of the community's goofier side outside the usual cheats/security talk.

IT'S CATURDAY! YAYYY!!— ap3x

252+ LJ Script Drama: The 'Stolen' CS 1.6 Longjump Bind Thread

A 'stolen' CS 1.6 longjump script, a credit-theft callout, a spam flood of dead links, and finally a mod slamming the door shut.

A member called advance posted a Counter-Strike 1.6 longjump (LJ) bind script claiming '100% works', which quickly drew replies asking for help binding it, complaints that it didn't work, and one poster accusing advance of stealing someone else's script without credit. The thread limped on for over a year with mixed reports of success/failure, got derailed by a banned user dumping a huge list of dead/spam links, and was eventually declared obsolete after a CS 1.6 update broke it, prompting a crew member to request the thread be closed — which it was.

This is my 252+ LJ Script! 100% works— advance

omg it is not ur script noob THE CREDITS ARE FOR SOME1 ELSE DONT STEAL SCRIPTS!!!— daniox

This no longer works because of the latest CS 1.6 update. /close please.— vermiLLion

[C#] Generate Hardware ID (Programming board)

A quick C# tutorial on hardware-ID generation turns into a mini debate about whether it could ever stop PunkBuster or a leaked cheat

User CTSSTC posted a short C# programming tutorial (sourced from an external site) on generating a unique hardware ID by combining a machine's CPU and hard drive serial numbers, pitched as a way to tie licensed software to a specific computer. The thread quickly drifted from pure programming into the forum's cheat-scene context, with triplem asking if it could help dodge PunkBuster detection and KreaT!vE and CTSSTC discussing how such IDs could still be spoofed or reverse-engineered, and that obfuscation only raises the bar rather than truly securing anything. It's a small, technical snapshot of how the community's programming subforum overlapped constantly with its cheat/anti-leak concerns.

is this shizzle legit, would remove PB threat?— triplem

It somewhat removes the threat of Leaking of a product. You can still spoof your hwid to get it to work.— KreaT!vE

any crazy good person out there will surely be able to reverse anything you do— CTSSTC

I need to HAck my GrLs myspace account

A guy asks the whole forum to help him hack his girlfriend's MySpace over a cheating rumor — gets roasted instead.

In October 2006, member wstside818 posted in the Programming subforum asking for help getting into his girlfriend's MySpace password after hearing rumors she was cheating on him. Regulars mostly mocked the request as a lame excuse, with a couple offering half-hearted technical dismissals (bruteforcing 'won't get you anywhere') and one member sarcastically offering to help via PM. The thread was quickly locked, a classic snapshot of early-2010s (era: mid-2000s) forum culture where personal-drama hack requests were common bait for ridicule.

i need to hack her account to see who shes talkin to cuz some dukes said that shes cheatin on me— wstside818

What Language Should I Learn to Build Keyloggers/Crypters

A newbie asks how to build a keylogger and crypter, and touches off a classic VB6-vs-C++-vs-C# scene debate

A new member named Failninja opens a thread in the Programming subforum asking which language to learn for building keyloggers, stealers, FUD crypters, and keygens, mentioning his existing VB.Net background. The thread turns into a sprawling back-and-forth among regulars debating the merits of VB6, C++, and C# for 'scene' coding and stealth/undetection purposes, with some heated disagreement over claims about stealthing capability. It's a solid snapshot of the forum's programming/security culture circa late 2009, where malware-adjacent coding discussion was treated as ordinary shop talk.

c++ is your best shot.— KreaT!vE

IMO, keyloggers should be done in C#.— tKeR

you're talking out of your ass.— nyte

SMS Bomber International V2.6 — Catmaster's Text-Spam Tool Release

Catmaster drops v2.6 of his SMS bomber, and half the thread just wants to know why it won't fire on their carrier

Longtime member Catmaster released the latest version of his homemade SMS/email bombing tool in the Programming subforum, complete with screenshot and VirusTotal scan link. Reactions were the usual mix of thanks and skepticism, with a Smod half-jokingly warning it could get someone in legal trouble, and BANNED member Hatred! reporting it didn't work on his own UK phone/provider — sparking a back-and-forth about carrier compatibility. The thread is a pretty ordinary slice of the Tech & Security board's tool-sharing culture, with staff, VIPs, and regular members all chiming in over a few weeks.

This looks like it could end you up in jail pretty fast.— ap3x

Does not work tried it on my own phone rofl :/— Hatred!

Hide this shit. It's fucking amazing. <3— h4voCK

Vertical Aim 1.1 script release (by ELX[Draco], posted by Christ/DigitalEDD)

A CS 1.6 crosshair-centering config script drops, and the whole thread turns into a 20-post chorus of 'unhide plz'

In the Programming subforum of Tech & Security, member Christ (AKA DigitalEDD) posted a hidden-content release of 'Vertical Aim 1.1', a CS 1.6 config script credited to ELX[Draco] that centered the player's view/crosshair via userconfig.cfg binds and an in-game command menu. The thread quickly became a classic hidden-content begging thread, with a long parade of low-post-count members chiming in with nothing but 'unhide', 'thanks', 'ta', and similar one-liners to unlock the spoiler. It's a small but very representative snapshot of the era's script-sharing culture and the copy-paste config economy that ran through cheat/scripting forums like this one.

We love you ELX[Draco]! :wub:— Christ AKA DigitalEDD

The 'Steam Brute Forcer' That Was Actually Just a Trojan

User hypes a 'working' Steam account cracker — mods run it through a virus scanner and it lights up like a Christmas tree.

A user by the name of biohazard13 posted claiming to have a fixed, functional version of a long-dead Steam account brute-forcing tool, complete with a screenshot of the old tool's interface. Regulars immediately called out the missing download link, and once a link was posted, moderator PopTart ran it through a multi-engine virus scan that flagged it as a password-stealing trojan/downloader across dozens of antivirus engines. The thread was swiftly closed and locked, and the poster's account was later banned — a pretty typical fate for this kind of 'tool' post on the Programming board.

Ok Its the same general idea as all the other shitty brute forcers that no longer work But a few simple bugs are fixed and wallah, it works fine— biohazard13

$50 Botnet-for-Hire Request Devolves Into 'Unhide' Spam

A guy offered $50 to have someone build him a personal DDoS tool — and the thread mostly turned into people yelling 'unhide' at a hidden link.

In this 2008 Programming subforum thread, user tumuskle asked for help acquiring or building a botnet to knock a specific person's home IP offline, offering $50 for assistance. A few members suggested learning VB6 to roll your own, and one regular, IrishAsh, dropped a hidden link to DDoS-related resources that quickly became the real draw of the thread — dozens of later replies are just members posting 'unhide' to reveal the spoilered content rather than discussing the original request. It's a good snapshot of the era's casual attitude toward DDoS tools and MSN-worm spreading as a topic of open forum discussion.

i'm trying to get ahold of a good botnet to personally ddos someones personal net..NOT a site, but their actual IP - paying someone 50$ USD for help setting one up.— tumuskle

Just a little tip when you make it, make it spread through MSN . That shit spreads fast.— 10010

Keylogger [FUD] — the one that turned out to be a virus

A member drops a 'fully undetected' keylogger, the forum asks for proof, and a mod slams the door in under an hour.

In the Programming subforum of Tech & Security, a user named Haxor-pro posted a download claiming to be an 'epic' FUD (fully undetected) keylogger. Other members immediately pushed back, asking for source code and confirmation it actually worked rather than just trusting the claim. The thread died fast: a moderator identified it as an actual virus, then locked the topic and banned the poster. A quick, characteristic snapshot of the forum's cheat/malware-sharing culture and its occasional self-policing.

can some1 confirm this? maybe you FUD your own "keylogger" and it mite not work..— DvS

It's a virus. /closed and banned— PopTart

Can I Use Your Site's Layout? (The Answer Was Basically 'Pay Up')

A noob asks to reuse fkn0wned's site skin for free — the founder's counter-offer: PayPal us.

New member sheidow politely asked if he could borrow fkn0wned's background and side layout (complete with the site's signature TV-screen graphics) for his own gaming community project. Founder TuxifieD half-jokingly floated a small PayPal fee, and when sheidow admitted he had no money or PayPal to offer, VIP members Nightcor3 and XpliciteR chimed in, noting the skin wasn't cheap and that at least this guy had the decency to ask instead of just ripping it outright. A small, good-natured exchange that says a lot about forum-era site design culture and layout etiquette.

If you want to pay us a small fee via paypal— TuxifieD

Lol, he Paid alot for the skin, the least you could do was to give him a bit..— Nightcor3

Atleast he asked to use it; I know people that would just rip it and not ask.— XpliciteR

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Bundle Share

irishash drops the free Visual Studio 2008 Express bundle for anyone tired of coding on VB6 and Studio 2003

In the Programming subforum, longtime member irishash shared a package of Microsoft's free Visual Studio 2008 Express tools (VB, Web Developer, C#, C++, and SQL Server Express) along with basic instructions for handling ISO downloads, promising tutorials to follow. The thread drew a steady trickle of low-effort 'thanks'/'unhide' replies from newer members over several months, plus a bit of pushback from MasterGamer1337 questioning how novel the free tools were. irishash clapped back noting most of the forum was still stuck on old Visual Studio 2003 and VB6, and mentioned he was busy working on something called the 'FkN Project.' A pretty ordinary but representative slice of the Tech & Security board's programming-help culture.

most people on this forum are still using Studio 2003 and VB6 etc— irishash

i will post some tutorials soon, but im currently working on the FkN Project— irishash

This is free and very well known. I dont post Linux here, too. Maybe i should...— MasterGamer1337

noob guide needed

A newbie just wants a CS:S hack tutorial — and gets a mini-lecture on why coding isn't a weekend hobby

A member named ABACABB asks in the Programming subforum for a beginner's guide (or link) to making his own CS:S hacks, admitting he only knows how to use hacks, not build them. Other members chime in with pointers toward C, C++, and VB6, and a low-grade debate breaks out between conTagious and doobie5 over how long it actually takes to write something 'useful' versus just copy-pasting open source code and calling it your own. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene forum energy: earnest noob question, a bit of gatekeeping, some ego about who 'really' codes.

im a noob when it comes to makeing them or anythig i just no how to use them— ABACABB

will take u atleast 1.5 years before u can write something usefull unless ur a super nerd who lives on the pc 24/7— conTagious

no u didnt "make" ur first hack u copied ur first code from open source and implemented it in what u cal "ur own"— conTagious

[VB] Hardware ID Anti-Leech — w0lf's coding release

A VB6 anti-leech system that sparked a mini-debate about whether hardware IDs even mean anything

Member w0lf shared a Visual Basic-coded 'Hardware ID Anti-Leech' system meant as a learning resource for programmers wanting to protect private applications from being leeched by unauthorized users. The thread got a warm reception with plenty of 'nice job' and 'unhide' replies over nearly a year of bumps, but also drew a sharp technical critique from veteran coder A-Nihilist and dismissive skepticism from MillerLite, who argued HWID spoofing made the whole approach pointless. A request for a C++ port surfaced but nothing ever came of it in this thread.

theres no point for this, because its just as easy to spoof hwids... just ask your friend what his is and spoof it to yours.— MillerLite

So, in order to use this particular method, one would first have to know the method at which the "Hardware Generator" was coded itself.— A-Nihilist

I wonder what hwid gen they used... wait doesnt even use hardware IDs.— moron

[TUT] Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional + More!

The old DreamSpark trick that got half the forum saying 'unhide' in unison

Shadow14l posted a guide explaining how members could legitimately obtain free license keys for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional, SQL Server 2008, XNA Game Studio, Windows Server 2008, and Visual Studio 2005 via Microsoft's DreamSpark student program. The actual steps were hidden behind a spoiler tag, which triggered a long, low-effort chorus of members replying 'unhide' hoping to see the content without needing to post. Shadow14l eventually linked a second, unhidden version of the thread with screenshots. The thread is a good snapshot of the forum's culture around software/license 'freebies' and the copy-paste reply spam typical of hidden-content tutorials.

Christ Script Pack for The Specialists (TS)

One member's grab-bag of movement and combat scripts for a niche HL1 mod, and the endless 'link is hidden, where hax' replies that followed.

In this Programming subforum thread from mid-2006, a member going by Christ (aka DigitalEDD) shared a personal pack of custom scripts for The Specialists (TS), a Half-Life mod, covering things like movement tricks, visual tweaks, and combat-related binds. The thread ran for months with a steady trickle of newbie replies thanking him, asking for setup help, or getting confused by the hidden-link anti-leech system and the CS/TS distinction. It's a small, low-drama slice of the era's scripting/scene culture — more community craft-sharing than controversy, with Christ patiently re-uploading fixes and fielding basic questions.

abra kadabra SCRIPT ME— youdontneed2know

hi i wont to hax but the link is hiden??? wat do i have to do???— nzs__best

This one is for TS, aka The Specialists, not CS, I have another pack for CS in this section.— Christ AKA DigitalEDD

CRC32Static Generator: A VAC-Dodging Tool Debate That Became a Gravedigging Magnet

A 2007 file-hash tool, a rumor about dodging VAC, and a two-year trail of gravediggers saying 'unhide'

DCLXVI dropped a Rapidshare-hosted CRC32Static Generator tool in the Programming subforum back in mid-2007, with barely any explanation attached. Replies quickly turned it into a low-grade technical debate about whether tweaking a file's CRC could help avoid Valve Anti-Cheat detection, with members disagreeing on whether VAC or VAC2 even checked CRC at all. The thread then went quiet for a year, only to get periodically necro'd by newer members typing 'unhide' to get at the hidden download link, until a moderator finally stepped in to warn a gravedigger and the topic was locked.

Its been said that it can help you from being VACED don't know if that is true or not so don't fucking flame me for making a mistake.— hEndr!x

The pros say VAC2 doesnt scan crc, just VAC, but w/e!— Sonikk

Warned for Gravedigging.— Skippy

[C#] Key-hooking and Mouse-hooking

A 2009 C# tutorial for building your own keylogger from scratch — 'don't want it to become detected' energy.

User CTSSTC posted a hidden C# code snippet/tutorial on global keyboard and mouse hooking, explicitly framed as educational material programmers could build into their own tools (with an obvious wink toward keylogging use). The thread devolved into the classic forum ritual of members posting 'unhide'/'thanks' just to reveal the hidden content, with almost no real programming discussion. Site regular Tr3Nx chimed in to note his site was being used to host the linked files against its intended purpose. Notable board fixtures like PopTart (Smod), Yunyun, DvS, and kubaxplx all dropped in just to grab the download.

Fkn WebBrowser [Pre-ALPHA]

A member tried to build fkn0wned its own custom browser — complete with an auto-unhide-topics feature

Member CTSSTC announced a personal C# side-project: a custom web browser built mainly as a GUI coding exercise, with planned forum-specific features like automatically unhiding hidden topics, a version-checker, and a fullscreen mode. The thread got a friendly, low-key reception typical of a hobby-project showcase — mostly one-word 'unhide' jokes/requests, encouragement, and a few offers of icon designs. CTSSTC paused development for a couple days for his birthday and gave a small progress update with a screenshot, but the thread trails off without any release, common for pre-alpha hobby projects on the forum.

Working on a web browser for here, it's mainly a gui challenge for me in C#— CTSSTC

Project put on delay for 1-2 days, it's my birthday today ; )— CTSSTC

Dev-C++ Thread Turns Into 'Let's Form a Hack Coding Team'

A free IDE recommendation quietly turns into '...so who's forming the hack coding team?'

SteveUK shares a link to Dev-C++, a free open-source C/C++ IDE, sparking brief appreciation from regulars prefeK and KZA. The conversation drifts almost immediately from 'nice free tool' into talk of assembling a programming team to build a custom hack, with d00kStErR and KZA bantering about avoiding a 'pub' (public) release. It ends with newer members Frosting and Fr0Gs showing up asking to be handed ready-made game-hacking code, the classic noob-request energy that closed out a lot of these old programming threads.

We gotta get some programming team together, make some crazy hack ;).— d00kStErR

Yea a FKNOWNED pub hack sounds good.— KZA

I Love This Can Someone Post A Little ESP Source Code Hack For CounterStrike Source Thanks :D— Fr0Gs

[JS, VB] Source Code Collection by mongoklomp

140MB of JavaScript and VB source dumped in one file — the thread that kept giving 'thx' for months

In this Programming subforum thread from May 2009, user mongoklomp shared a 140MB RAR archive claiming to contain thousands of JavaScript and Visual Basic source code snippets, hosted on Depositfiles. The thread itself carried little discussion of the code's contents or quality — it mostly filled up with drive-by 'thanks', 'unhide', and one-word replies from members over several months as people bumped it to reveal the hidden download link. It's a fairly ordinary resource-sharing thread typical of the era's 'hide/unhide' download culture rather than a hub of technical debate.

Hook DirectX (Wallhack/Chams) in C#

A guy claims he coded aimbots in C#, a year later someone finally calls BS

A member calling himself d1gitalSLR asked in mid-2008 whether it was possible to hook DirectX for a wallhack/chams effect using C# instead of C++, claiming he'd already built aimbots in C#. The thread went quiet for over a year before other coders piled in, culminating in a September 2009 reply flatly debunking the original claim by explaining .NET can't do native code injection without a C/C++/ASM wrapper. It ends with a 'nice gravedig' jab and the topic getting locked — a small, dry snapshot of the forum's Programming subforum and its low tolerance for unfounded coding claims.

did you really create your own hax in c# :) ?— Rock

No, you didn't code any hack in C#. The .NET framework doesn't allow native code injection into a process.— papanyquiL

Nice gravedig... -.-— Spaz

SuperFast Firing Dual Elites (Rapidfire Config Thread)

A basic bind-and-config trick for dual elites turns into 20 replies of pure 'unhide' spam

Member ThatMicWhore posted a simple Counter-Strike config script for rapid-firing the Dual Elites pistols using mousewheel binds and a toggle key, hidden behind spoiler tags. The thread quickly devolved into the classic old-forum ritual of newer members chiming in just to say 'unhide' or 'thanks' to reveal the hidden code blocks, with barely any real discussion of the technique itself. It's a small, dated snapshot of CS 1.6/Source-era scripting culture and the forum's hide-tag economy.

ixpkxall and cedars's 'leet' virus gets roasted as just a .bat file

Two members hyped their homemade 'undetectable' virus... turns out it was just a .bat file

In this Programming subforum thread from November 2007, member IxPKxALL announced that he and 'Cedars' had created a supposedly '99% undetectable' virus, complete with a pasted antivirus scan report to back the claim. The thread quickly turned skeptical as other members picked it apart, with [LiP]STicK. bluntly pointing out it was 'just a .bat' and not leet at all, while others mocked it as a 'nub bat virus' or questioned how effective it really was. A minor back-and-forth followed with some mild praise mixed into the general ribbing typical of the forum's cheat/tool-sharing culture.

Its just a .bat ? It ain't leet— [LiP]STicK.

lol at nub bat virus— Wankst0r

now that is very clever by you.— minitureman

WowEmuHacker 3.0.9 — The Suspicious 'Download' That Wasn't

A two-post 'noob' drops a WoW hack link, refuses to prove it's clean, and gets called out as an upload-link scammer months later.

A low-post-count member named Xtr3me posted a supposed WowEmuHacker tool for World of Warcraft patch 3.0.9, claiming it worked '100%'. When asked to have it scanned for malware, Xtr3me deflected instead of complying, which drew immediate suspicion. Months later other members piled on, pointing out the poster barely had any posts and that the link wasn't even a real download — just an upload link, likely bait from, as one member put it, 'an annoying swedish geek.' A minor but classic example of the era's sketchy warez/hack posting and the community's built-in skepticism toward randoms dropping 'working' tools.

Someone scan this...?— OmfgzATree

Hmmm, why don't u try to scan? I swear its not TrojanHorse or something :S— Xtr3me

There is no download link. its a upload link. its just a annoying swedish geek. who want to be an asshole like always.— sinder
