Prowlers' Steam Shop
A market thread openly selling phished Steam accounts stacked with games — and nobody blinked.
A Market Place seller thread from Fkn0wned's early days where member prowler.inc listed a rotating stock of Steam accounts (bundled with titles like MW2, CSS, TF2, L4D, Mass Effect, and various Total War games) for sale. When a VIP member directly asked whether the '7 and 8 digit' Steam accounts were legitimately owned or phished, prowler.inc openly confirmed they were phished, and the thread carried on as normal with buyers negotiating prices and leaving positive feedback. A sale to smexy123 (an 80-game account for $45) closed with mutual vouches, and the thread got bumped a few times before fizzling with an offer to trade over MSN.
they are phished !!! 7digit has playtime bc a friend played some days now with it..!— prowler.inc
smexy123 is the new owner of my 80 Games account , he buyed for 45$ , fast , truested guy ++A buyer ;)— prowler.inc
^^ Very trustworthy, I don't have to worry about being scammed anymore xD— smexy123
twBooter V2 — the booter-for-sale thread
1up's shell-based 'booter' promised to knock RuneScape, Xbox Live, and even rival forums offline for $30-40 a copy.
A Market Place sales thread from reseller '1up' advertising twBooter, a paid shell-based DDoS/booter tool coded by xZerox with PHP backend work by Orgy. The thread tracks version bumps (v1.0 through v2.7) with growing shell counts, MSN contact info for sales, and a wall of copy-pasted customer 'vouches' claiming it took down RuneScape worlds, Xbox Live lobbies, and dedicated servers. Regulars including staffer NIX razzed 1up for boasting he could take down rival forum warez-bb.org, while others asked about payment methods and related tools like 'steam thief'. It's a solid time capsule of the era's booter/market-place hustle culture, complete with bump posts and reseller vouching rituals.
I love the bit where u said "I can take down warez-bb with this" nigga please stop bsing meh— NIX
dude this shit booted runescape.com its fucking insane :D.
This program is the real deal!! i just test DDoS'ed one of my high end dedicated servers and it sent almost 2GB/s!!!
lam3r's Fake Keygen Shop (Black Market)
Lam3r was hawking bogus 'keygens' for $5 a pop — perfect for binding a keylogger and handing to 'noobs'
In the Black Market subforum, longtime member lam3r advertised a side hustle making custom fake programs — fake keygens with polished GUIs and readmes for games like TF2, CS, CoD4/5, L4D and HL2 — explicitly designed to be bundled with a keylogger and passed off to unsuspecting victims. He offered bundle pricing, private delivery via PM, free minor edits but no refunds, and pointed to a free 'SteamHacker' sample as proof of work. The thread got a mix of interest (an admin said he'd contact via MSN), mockery of the graphics, and one poster bragging he got 'logs' within two hours of using a free version. It ends with mods/members redirecting people to a rival tutorial by inSpired on how to make your own fake keygens instead of paying lam3r.
Basically these programs are just made for you to bind a keylogger to or something and make it so the user doesn't know it's binded.— lam3r
i guarantee you'll get a shitload of logz, especially since these are being sold NOWHERE BUT ON FKN0WNED.COM— lam3r
USED A FREE ONE AND I GOT LOGS IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS :D— Slickz
Steam Accounts For Sale (ap3x-shop, Aug 2009)
Two of the marketplace's biggest names team up to flip stolen Steam accounts — VAC clean, guaranteed no aftercare.
A Market Place listing from August 2009 where VIP members xcF and ap3x jointly advertised a batch of Steam accounts (loaded with titles like the Valve Complete Pack, TF2, Half-Life 2, and Garry's Mod) for sale via an external site, ap3x-shop.com. Ap3x openly admitted the accounts had been 'phished for at least 1 month' and disclaimed any responsibility once buyers took possession. The thread is a typical low-stakes marketplace grind: bumps, a rejected lowball offer from a user without enough forum posts to legally trade, an unrelated WoW account swap pitch, and a running joke about the site's 100-post minimum rule for buying/selling.
ALL ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN PHISHED FOR AT LEAST 1 MONTH. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THE ACCOUNTS ONCE THEY LEAVE OUR HANDS.— ap3x
Yes, it's true, xcF and ap3x, two of the most prominent names in the FkN marketplace are teaming up to do stuff.— ap3x
Post count shouldn't matter if I'm going first. What difference will 70 posts make, they're just a bunch of words.— Jinx!
Selling Phished Steam Accounts (Market Place, Aug 2009)
A VIP member openly hawking phished Steam accounts by digit-count pricing, vouched for by fellow traders — a snapshot of the forum's shady account trade in full swing.
A vintage Market Place thread from August 2009 where user hoOkz advertises a batch of phished Steam accounts (CS 1.6 and some CS:S) for sale, pricing them by how short/desirable the account's digit ID was. Other members jump in asking about CS:S-specific accounts, adding contacts on MSN, and vouching for hoOkz's trustworthiness in the 'trading scene.' It's a plain look at the casual, normalized account-trading economy that ran through this forum's Off Topic Market Place, complete with the required 100-post rule to prevent scam threads.
I am well trusted around the trading scene and shad0wz can vouche for this— hoOkz
This guy's a fucking legend... very trust worthy. Oh the KeyHunt days..— shad0wz
I have one with CSS on it but its banned from most Australian servers— hoOkz
a-lusion's cheap steam store
A 'trusted staff member' openly hawking stolen Steam accounts for PayPal, right in the Market Place.
This was a Market Place listing from user a-lusion, a long-time member with 'trusted staff' status, advertising cheap Steam accounts (explicitly noted as stolen but held for over a week) priced from a few dollars, payable via PayPal with a vouch-after-payment system. The post included boilerplate disclaiming responsibility if accounts got disabled or VAC banned, and a scripted line buyers were told to paste into PayPal to avoid disputes. It's a good snapshot of the shadier corner of the site's economy, where account trading and cheat culture overlapped with casual scamming risk. Only one reply from SnEaKyJoKER appears in the captured page.
PAYPAL ONLY! You must vouch after payment.— a-lusion
accounts are stolen, but had for over a week— a-lusion
If the accounts gets disabled/vacced I hold no responsibility.— a-lusion
Selling Steam Account (with a phishing slip-up)
A member casually flips 'phished' Steam accounts on the marketplace board — and even labels them that way himself.
A market-place listing from August 2009 where user AxeSting offers Steam accounts loaded with games like Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike Source for PayPal payment. The thread updates over a few posts as accounts sell and new ones get added to the list — notably, later listings are openly labeled 'Phished' accounts rather than owned ones. A staff/crew member steps in only to nudge him to edit his original post instead of double-posting new listings. A quiet, low-drama trading thread, but a small time-capsule of the era's casual attitude toward account theft on gaming forums.
Alright selling 2 Steam Accounts. Only accepting money through paypal, payer goes first, msg me with your offer.— AxeSting
Current Steam Accounts Still Up For Sale Phished— AxeSting
Please edit the posts when you add more accounts.— r0ss
FkN's server? - whats the ip?
New guy asks for FkN's game server IP... and gets told the community doesn't even have one
A newer member (c0rpsegrinder) asks for the IP of an 'FkN server' to play on, sparking a back-and-forth about whether Fkn0wned even had one, and whether Fkn0wned counted as a 'clan' at all. Longtime members clarify it's a community, not a clan, and that a public FkN server would be pointless since it would just fill up with cheaters raging on each other. The thread drifts into a lighthearted debate about cheat-vs-cheat servers versus VAC/public raging, with several members joking that any hypothetical FkN server would be an absolute chaotic mess of hackers and DDoS attacks.
LOL this isn't a clan it's a community and we don't have a server because of the simple fact that it would never be full except for only us being in it.— mystical1
it would be kinda fucked if u guys got a server running.. u would all cheat on it LOL HAHA— Zappzo
wrong. cheat vs cheat is teh best. :] vac cheating is for teh nubs.— h4xor_bob
[SOURCES] CS1.5 / CS1.6 — the big source code dump thread
One guy posted a link to 280+ CS1.5/1.6 C++ source codes and the thread just kept going for four pages of 'ty' and 'unhide plz'
Started by moderator DCLXVI (posting as 'Cheesus' in one quoted reply) in June 2007, this Programming subforum thread shared a hidden link to a large collection of Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 C++ source codes hosted off-site, and asked staff to sticky it. It became a long-running bump thread that stretched into December 2007, with new members trickling in for months mostly to say thanks, ask for the hidden content to be unhidden, or note the sources were already outdated ('too bad they're a year old'). It's a pretty pure example of the era's forum economy: a valuable resource post buried under reply-to-unlock etiquette and low-effort gratitude spam.
Can a moderator sticky this please. There are over 280 C++ source codes for Cs1.5 and Cs1.6 (mostly 1.6).— DCLXVI
Got this from ballistic the other day.. Too bad they're a year old.— S1acker
is this still up?— r3skyline
[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
CaM CRASH SCRIPT (Hempz) — CS:S server-crash/unban script
A random Noob's four-post script somehow became fkn0wned's go-to CS:S crash tool — until Valve nuked the command it relied on.
A member named Hempz posted a Counter-Strike: Source console script (credited to 'CaM') claiming it could crash servers and let banned players sneak back in once the server came back up. It got a warm reception initially, but the thread's real historical value is watching it slowly rot: Valve patched out the underlying console command, the download link died, and later replies turned into people begging for reuploads or asking where to find an 'unpatch exploit' floating around a rival site called RaGe-QuiT. Classic small-time cheat-scene thread — big promise, short shelf life, scavenger hunt in the replies.
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS I QUT COUNTER STRIKE AND IT IS A TEXT FILE WHICH IS NOT A VIRUS— Hempz
Valve has removed the "Test_StartScript" command =/— legendstimeshift
LAWLZOR I HATE CHUUUUUUUUUUU— brianb
[UNDETECTED] Exodus Gold (F.E.A.R Hack) by Botoxx
The 'leaked private hack' everyone begged for — and then the download link died before half the thread could grab it.
Botoxx, a well-known [3K] poster, dropped a public release of a F.E.A.R multiplayer cheat called Exodus Gold, claiming it rivaled the private hack he'd used in one of his own rage/highlight videos. The thread is classic era-appropriate cheat-scene theater: a wall of feature bullet points, a virus-scan link for legitimacy, a hidden download tag, and a stream of members thanking him, hyping the release, and troubleshooting the in-game menu controls. There's a small bit of lore in the replies — PaRaNoID confirms the tool was originally private before it leaked — and by a few days later the rapidshare link had already expired, a very typical fate for these threads.
this was originally a private hack but it was leaked so its pretty good— PaRaNoID
This hack fkn rapes! Love this thing!— Tr3Nx
Pshh rules are made for breaking xD— Gsvivivi
RAGING IN BF2 IT'S BACK (PART 2)
A member drops his sequel BF2 rage video, gets accused of stealing it from myg0t, then gets called out by the site's own CEO for skipping the Fkn0wned credit.
milla62 posted the second installment of a Battlefield 2 'rage' montage video (with a link back to Part 1) in the Other Games section. A commenter claimed to have already seen the clip on the rival myg0t forums, sparking a brief defensive back-and-forth before the accuser backed down, blaming it on being drunk. The thread closes out with site founder/CEO TuxifieD half-jokingly demanding Fkn0wned get credit in the video, and milla62 agreeing to add it to future uploads.
ITTTTTS BACKKKKKKK— milla62
i saw this on the myg0t forums but its still a great rage.— zubetube
no credits to fkn0wned? WTF— TuxifieD
Need BF2 Volunteers for a Rage
A staff member infiltrated a 'fair play' BF2 clan, got them all hacking, then called in reinforcements to troll them.
Don Ruski, a staff member, posted asking for volunteers to raid a Battlefield 2 fun clan (a 75-member group called Dealers of Death) that he'd infiltrated and reportedly convinced to start hacking, after they prided themselves on playing fair. He shared the clan's server info and site as an open invitation for others to go mess with them. A couple of replies poke fun at the irony of Don Ruski's own signature, with light-hearted ribbing rather than any real drama.
So theres this one clan and they are really proud of playing fair, so I joined their clan and gained their trust and then hacked and then got 5 other members to hack too— Don Ruski
ok, so u dont hack in BF2 but ur signature says u do!— tracyfan_1
rofl i think u owned him :T— ballistic
TyalsHook - Call Of Duty 6 MultiHack Thread
A brand-new user drops a first-post 'undetected' COD6 hack — it turned out to be a virus, and the thread ended in a ban.
A user named esrfedt, posting for the first time, shared a supposed multihack for Call of Duty 6 (Modern Warfare 2) claiming aimbot, ESP, removals, and misc features. Veteran members were immediately suspicious of a first-post download from an unknown name, and their instincts proved right: another member reported it wrecked their computer with a persistent virus. A staff moderator (Kimmi) stepped in, confirmed the file was infected, stripped the links/attachment, banned the uploader, and locked the thread.
wouldnt trust this, its his first post and a random name. probably an istealer exe— Nickiller007
Don't Download this, gave me a fucked up virus and now even with it uninstalled still pops up when ever my computer turns on.— barkie2002
The file is infected. The links have been removed, the attachment has been removed and the user has been banned.— Kimmi
[Left 4 Dead] [Material] Hack
One 'material hack' upload turns into a warning about a rival tool that tried to jack accounts
A February 2009 thread in Fkn0wned's Other Games section where a member posted a Left 4 Dead 'material' cheat with a YouTube demo and VirusTotal scan link. A regular quickly warned that a similarly-named hack by another author was secretly malicious and stealing accounts, steering everyone toward an alternative build credited to SuperNovaAO/Vlees instead. The rest of the thread is a long tail of bumps, thanks, and 'unhide' requests stretching from February to April 2009, showing how these download threads stayed alive purely through gratitude replies and hidden-content unlocks. SuperNovaAO themselves showed up to ask for an alias to be removed from the post, a small but notable moment of a hack's actual author interacting directly with the community.
This guy made a hidden source mat hack that attempted to jack your account aswell... Here's one that as far as i know doesn't..— wh0r3
Looks clean, but when I start the program it requests internet access.— Subgraf
please remove my alternative nick (the second you posted). Thanks.— SuperNovaAO
[Teaser] FknOwned AAO Public
A 2007 teaser thread for FknOwned's 'all-around' cheat — mostly a chorus of members begging for the hidden video.
Coder 'ho0k-' (posting as .genuine/.element) drops a teaser announcement for the first public release of the FknOwned AAO multi-game cheat, promising over 20 functions and hinting at a beefier VIP version to come. The actual content (presumably a video) was hidden from view, so the thread quickly turns into page after page of members posting one-liners like 'unhide,' 'lets see,' and 'sweet' just to get access. It's a classic cheat-scene hype thread: low on substance in the archived text, high on community anticipation and the ritual of begging mods/OPs to unlock attachments.
This is the official teaser for the very first FknOwned.com AAO Public Release.— ho0k-
i dont cheat but i still want to see what kind of crazy shit you guys are making— Big Smoke
unhide kkthx— LordEthan2
CSS Glitch: SUPER JUMP
One hidden-content post, nineteen pages of dudes just saying 'unhide'
A 2008 thread on Fkn0wned.com's Rebel Gaming board where member clown1337 posted a Counter-Strike: Source super jump glitch behind hidden-content tags, requiring replies to unlock. What follows is the classic forced-reply pileup: page after page of members simply posting 'unhide', 'lemme see', or similar just to access the content, with a couple of skeptical follow-ups calling it a fail once revealed. The thread got moved from PC Gaming into Rebel Gaming by staff early on, and clown1337 himself was later banned.
unhidez0r— Zeton
this fails hard— Dimitri0s
super duper jump!?!?! me see now ty— guylolzer
Request Hacks/Trainers Here! (fkn0wned Rebel Gaming)
Post your game, staff would try to hook you up — CSS, MW2, Combat Arms, Perfect World, all requested here
A pinned request thread in the Rebel Gaming section where members asked staffer f0wh (and others) to track down cheats/trainers for specific games, following a strict posting format (Game/Type/Other). Requests ranged from CS:S wallhacks and MW2 ESP to Combat Arms aimbots, Battlefield Heroes multihacks, and Perfect World exploits, with f0wh fielding requests over several weeks in mid-2010, sometimes delivering links, sometimes reporting a game had no working undetected public hack at the time. It's a good snapshot of the era's cat-and-mouse cheat economy — VAC/anti-cheat bypass talk, gamebandit vs Neferty debates, and the casual 'thanks bro' culture around free cheat distribution.
I'm so very sorry, but there doesn't currently exist any undetected public CS:S hack. Wait some days and someone might release one.— f0wh
I got vac banned :( so now I want to cause mayhem on non seccured servers— N4i2c0k
just a usual ESP for cod2 would be nice if you could fix it THX F0WH! :D<3— Yunyun
Steam Guestpass Bruteforcer (f0wh, Dec 2008)
f0wh drops a tool promising free Steam games by brute-forcing guest pass codes — 16 pages of members lining up for a shot at loot.
In late December 2008, veteran uploader f0wh posted a tool claiming to randomly generate Steam guest-pass codes in hopes of hitting a valid one, sparking a long-running thread on the Rebel Gaming subforum. The post included a VirusTotal-style scan report to reassure downloaders, and the replies quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of one-word 'unhide' and 'thanks' posts to unlock the hidden download link. Members speculated about ban risk, proxies, and how long to run it, with a bit of community back-and-forth including a user posting a screenshot of the tool running. It's a snapshot of the era's cheat/crack culture around Steam and the low-effort 'unhide for thanks' reply culture typical of these boards.
As most of you know i am not scamming, i have been fair to most here.— f0wh
It looks good and professional to me...heres a pic of it i made :D hope i get a game!!!!— OmfgzATree
can someone give me a proxy or VPN so i wont be detected?— OmfgzATree
The Bejeweled Blitz 3 'Uberhack' Firefox Extension Thread
Yes, someone really made a cheat extension for a Facebook match-3 game — and the forum admin posted it himself.
FkN Admin ap3x dropped a Firefox extension for cheating at Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, complete with hotkeys for spawning special gems, freezing frames, and boosting scores. The thread ran from late 2009 into March 2010, mostly filled with short thank-you replies and a few members reporting inflated scores. One reply from longtime crew member vermiLLion questioned the entire premise of cheating at a casual Facebook game, capturing the thread's tongue-in-cheek, low-stakes vibe compared to the site's usual FPS cheat content.
This is fucking cool but what the fuck is the point of getting points on a facebook game?...— vermiLLion
time for me and bejeweled to have a little chat— Jewjubes
C00L just got 3,5milj points xD— L3gu44n1
Steam Acc Shop^_^ — the Great CS:S Account Bazaar of 2007
One guy, a stack of 'not VAC banned' Steam accounts, and a whole thread arguing over how much stolen goods should be marked down.
A member called exora ran an informal storefront hawking a batch of old Steam accounts loaded with Half-Life/Counter-Strike titles, haggling prices via PayPal and pitching a bulk-deal discount for buying the whole lot. The thread quickly turns into a haggling session, with buyers lowballing offers and openly questioning whether the accounts were 'jacked' (stolen) and likely to get disabled once the real owners noticed. exora's own admission that he only guarantees accounts that survive two weeks unreported pretty much confirms the community's suspicions, and by the end someone flat-out calls him a 'con artist selling stolen shit.' It's a snapshot of the era's freewheeling, semi-lawless Steam account trade culture — buyer beware, no refunds, just vibes and Xfire handles.
yes, but i only sell accs that are not disabled too after 2 weeks.— exora
lol, 2 weeks, i had a jacked account for a month and a hlf, then it got disabled. lol dont buy, 75% chance they are bound to get disabled. your choice!— laptops
SCAM ARTIST lol not really but con artist selling stolen shit lolololololollolooll— thesource
Great Scamming Method (Steam account scam tutorial thread)
A guide for stealing Steam accounts, credited to a guy named Eckos, racked up praise (and one "this better work!!") in the Tutorials board.
In this 2008 Tutorials-board thread, user method3909 reposted and expanded on a scamming script originally by 'Eckos,' pitched as an easy way to social-engineer Steam account credentials out of victims. The hidden content required replying to unlock, a classic forum tactic to farm post counts and engagement. The replies are mostly one-word thanks and hype, with method3909 later bragging about having scammed six accounts using the method — a small, matter-of-fact snapshot of the account-trading/scamming culture that ran through this corner of the forum.
Just an update for people, I got 6 accounts today doing this.— method3909
I hate these hidden things!!!— fouine
This better wokr!!— JaGx
The VAC2 Ban Bypass Tutorial That Was Probably Just a Keylogger
Rebelz drops a 'VAC2 bypass' tool — half the thread says thanks, the other half finds a keylogger inside it
Posted January 2008 in the Tutorials section, this thread offered a supposed method to bypass VAC2 (Valve Anti-Cheat) bans and access VAC-secured servers, gated behind the classic 'reply to unhide' mechanic. Early replies were the usual wave of low-effort 'unhide'/'ty' posts typical of the era, but a few more skeptical members flagged that the required download triggered antivirus keylogger warnings, sparking a mini-debate about whether the tool was legit or a scam preying on desperate VAC-banned players. No firm confirmation of it actually working ever surfaced in the visible portion of the thread.
It found a keylogger, basically the same thing you have there.— CratycloS
There's always the saying of if it's too good to be true, it probably is.— CratycloS
this one is what kaspersky is saying is a keylogger, probably just a false positive— Huzzah
wow gm account
Some kid got his hands on a WoW GM account and just... posted it for sale in General Discussion.
Member wrynx dropped a screenshot claiming to have a World of Warcraft GM (game master) account and casually offered to sell it, sparking a mix of hype and skepticism. The thread devolves into speculation about resale value (with donkor recalling someone getting $700 for a similar account), jokes about using GM powers like `.level 255` and teleporting to the GM Island, and general consensus that it would get 'retrieved' (banned/reclaimed by Blizzard) almost immediately. Classic fkn0wned energy: a mix of disbelief, lulz-seeking, and half-serious market talk, ending with someone admitting they'd just use it to boost their own characters before it got pulled.
Who wants to buy it? lulz— wrynx
.level 255 .teleport GM_Island ^_^— ap3x
Holy SHIT. I'd buy it, cause major havoc, create LULz, and let it get retrieved.— h4voCK
The 'Smuggle Program' Thread (Maple Story)
One dinky MapleStory PQ trick kept a thread alive for 11 pages and almost a year of 'unhide' begging.
Started by member Ra0ul in July 2007, this Maple Story board thread shared a small program/trick for 'smuggling' items out of party quests (PQs) by breaking connection mid-instance. The actual content was hidden behind a quote-to-reveal mechanism, so the thread's real substance quickly became an endless procession of members posting one-word 'unhide', 'thx', or 'kk' replies just to unlock the download. It dragged on from mid-2007 into mid-2008, accumulating over 200 replies, with only the occasional real comment (like someone asking if it still worked on a game version, or another wondering aloud about ban risk).
You can smuggle stuff from inside pq to outside it kinda breaks connection when u press f1 so u lagg— Ra0ul
We smelling any bans for using this "Smuggle Program" ?— aznfirez
unhide... haizzz... why cant dl??— killyou99
[OUTDATED] Hacking in Maple - DOESNT WORK FOR NOW
8-bit's famous MapleStory hacking guide, patched into obsolescence within weeks — locals still begged for updates anyway.
A member known as 8-bit <3 / '-Still Life-' posted a widely-praised guide for hacking MapleStory, styled with self-appointed swagger as the '◢:MS Hacking God:◣'. The tutorial quickly went stale as game patches broke it, leading to a thread full of grateful newbies, troubleshooting complaints (virus warnings, disconnects, missing options), and the author repeatedly promising a rewrite for the new client version. It captures the classic cheat-scene rhythm of the era: guide drops, community hype, rapid patch, limbo.
They ask too many fucking questions. So i figured that i should write up a good and help out all the little n00bs out.— -Still Life-
nothing for now. the old ones are patched. but im working on one right now so just be patient.— -Still Life-
I Hope i can finally hack ms again after reading this Tut ^^— kimaska
Maple Hacking
The day GMS patched the bypass and half the MapleStory hacking scene lost its mind
A 2007 post in the Maple Story subforum announcing that a MapleStory client update had broken existing cheat-engine bypasses, causing many players to hit 'population full' errors when trying to create characters. The poster (YoshMitSu) explained the detection issue in scene jargon, offered a fix tool for the immediate error, and gestured cryptically toward more advanced workarounds for 'true hackers,' while flatly stating casual hacking was dead for the moment. Classic era-appropriate cheat-forum tone: half public-service announcement, half gatekeeping flex.
We are officially worse than MSEA.— YoshMitSu
Remember, you can NO LONGER HACK . Yes i know it sucks but deal with it.— YoshMitSu
If your not a nub and wanna hack again.— YoshMitSu
The Fly Crypter Gatekeeping Puzzle Nobody Could Crack
A crypter dev built an obscenely convoluted riddle just to keep 'noobs' from downloading his program — and half the crew got nerd-sniped by it.
VIP member DvS posted a wall of hex-encoded gibberish claiming it was a password for a RAR file, part of a multi-layered puzzle (Tripo-5, EZIP-64, Base64, hex reversal, etc.) gatekeeping access to 'Fly Crypter' and its Uniq Stub Generator, tools tied to HackHound.org. The thread turns into a mix of curiosity, cross-forum diplomacy (checking whether fkn0wned and HackHound were on good terms), a bit of admiration for the sheer absurdity of the puzzle, and eventual fizzle-out with no solution posted. Notable regulars like NIX, lam3r, inSpired, and admin ap3x all weigh in, and it ends with DvS still empty-handed weeks later, quietly bumping the thread with 'Still need.'
That's the longest test i think i've seen them give to unlock a file on HH, lol it's pretty epic.— lam3r
Could just run it and dump it from memory.. Let it do all the work.— inSpired
dude that's tooooo much work for a crypter lul I've already seen this at HF VIP yesterday lol— NIX
Counter Strike 1.6 Mega Edition Download Thread
A RapidShare link, a bot claim, and two dozen 'ty' replies — peak 2007 forum culture in one thread.
A member named NrgRigo posted a link to a supposed non-Steam Counter-Strike 1.6 'Mega Edition' package hosted on RapidShare, claiming it included an offline bot and required no serial. The thread ran from October 2007 into March 2008, with a long tail of members simply dropping in to say thanks, confirm it worked, or ask to have the hidden download link revealed. It's a classic Red Light District warez-sharing thread from Fkn0wned.Com — low on discussion, high on drive-by gratitude posts, showing the site's role as a casual file-sharing hub for pirated games.
Hi guys,i've found this on web,it's Counter Strike 1.6 non-steam,very astute bot in offline mode,and don't need serial.— NrgRigo
wow nice find, thx— destman

The MSX Security 'Lifetime VIP' Debate
New member almost drops 220 euros on a cheat 'lifetime' membership — the forum unanimously screams don't.
A newcomer (Alexius92) posted asking whether a 220-euro 'lifetime' subscription to a rival cheat site, MSX Security, was worth buying, listing all the games and features he was excited about. The community immediately piled on with warnings that MSX was a known scam site with a bad reputation, some claiming it distributed trojans or keyloggers to its own customers. Regulars redirected him toward Fkn0wned's own trusted alternative (Source Industries) instead, and a moderator jokingly floated banning the original poster for even suggesting it — a classic 'cheat scene' rivalry-and-trust-issues thread.

new ggcrc bypass by Xor! (MapleStory GameGuard thread)
A 2007 MapleStory thread that's basically a fossil record of forum tropes: 'open sesame,' fake trojans, and a mod begging people to stop quoting the whole post twice.
In August 2007, a member named soldat cross-posted a tool credited to a scener known as Xor, claimed to bypass MapleStory's GameGuard CRC check so players could run 'auto ban' hacks without getting flagged. The thread quickly filled with the classic era-appropriate noise of low-effort 'open'/'unhide' replies chasing hidden content, a handful of users reporting mixed results (some claiming success, others flagging it as a fake or a trojan per antivirus warnings), and general MapleStory hacking chatter about CTs, engines, and GameGuard versions. It captures the vibe of a mid-2000s cheat forum: rampant credential-farming replies, skepticism about whether the tool was legit, and moderator annoyance at quote spam.
It's fake lol, none of the public ggcrc bypass...— -=VaCProoF=-

Array of Bytes and Scripts (MapleStory hack dump)
One guy dumped basically the entire MapleStory AutoBan hack list — and got told the section was already dead.
A 2007 post in the Maple Story sub-forum where member AcidViper (later re-shown in the archive as 'Smurf', likely the same account renamed/banned) dropped a massive compilation of memory addresses, byte arrays, and Cheat Engine scripts for MapleStory client manipulation — covering things like movement, combat, and item/loot related exploits, credited in part to several named scene contributors. The thread got only a couple of replies before -Still Life-, a self-described 'MS Hacking God' and prominent (later banned) member, dismissed the effort by pointing out Maple Story activity on Fkn0wned was basically dead and redirecting people to an external site, StillLifeMS.com. It's a small, dry, technical thread but historically notable as a snapshot of the era's cheat-sharing culture and inter-site rivalry/redirection between Fkn0wned and a competing MapleStory-focused hack site.
lol, dude maple is dead on fkn0wned.— -Still Life-
Well atleast i tried.— AcidViper

GMS .41 Scripts (Maple Story Cheat Table Dump)
One giant Cheat Engine table for MapleStory v0.41 — CRC bypass, PIN unrandomizer, godmode, teleport hacks, and an item filter list longer than the patch notes.
Member voodoo91 posted a massive compilation of Cheat Engine scripts for MapleStory version 0.41, covering everything from CRC/PIN bypasses to godmode, damage control, item vacs, teleport hacks, and 'fun hacks' like moonwalking and flying. Each entry was labeled WORKING, NOT WORKING, or flagged with asterisks for autoban risk, showing how much the scene cared about not getting caught. Replies were short — a fellow member (stevizzle313) cautioned trying them live first, and voodoo91 confirmed testing in a private CT before sharing; months later another user chimed in that the pack 'seemed trustworthy.' Credits at the end nodded to Stevizzle, 8-bit/Jaska, and 'God' Nexon (tongue-in-cheek), a snapshot of the collaborative script-sharing culture typical of the Maple Story subforum.
Looks like it is able to be trusted =]— sanjuro3456
looks good, but i suggest not trying them yet— stevizzle313
BTW i'm not responsible if you get Auto Banned so please make me aware so i can help others out— voodoo91
RQ: Best Strafes for LongJump
One kid asks for his favorite LJ strafes, and thirty noobs pile on just to say 'unhide'
A classic early-2010s CS 1.6 scripting board thread: a member named zxczxc posted asking for the community's best longjump strafe configs and included his own hidden inside a spoiler. The reply chain is almost entirely low-effort 'unhide' posts from fresh accounts trying to unlock the hidden content, with a few genuine thank-yous and one confused newcomer asking what 'unhide' even meant. It's a perfect little time capsule of forum culture built around hidden-quote bait and content-gating, running at least 4 pages long.
Which are the best strafes for LJ ? I'll show you mine:— zxczxc
Whats undhide ?:S someone tell me ?— eklandabarn
hey can u tell me which best strafes u use please ? thanks— DiogoBorges
"lj script 255+, working" — Scripting board classic
A guy posts a bunjump script promising 255+ units and the entire thread turns into a chorus of 'unhide'
Posted January 2008 in the Counter-Strike 1.6 Scripting board, this thread was a classic hidden-content post: a member named hugz` claimed to have a working long-jump (lj) script capable of 255+ units, but the actual content was hidden behind reply-to-unlock spam. What followed was ten pages of low-effort 'unhide' posts from a parade of noobs, a couple of skeptics calling fake, and at least one member (Matheuzin) getting fed up and demanding bans. Peak early-2010s cheat-forum culture: everyone chasing a script, nobody sure if it was real.
unhide and hope not fake =D Edit: how did i know. -.-— pronoobpro
lol.. ban this motherfuckin retards— Matheuzin
where caN I GET THIS script— 123457
Longjump Script! 247 Units
A French member's homemade CS 1.6 longjump script racks up ten pages of "unhide pls" begging.
A member named khios shares a self-made beta longjump script for Counter-Strike 1.6 claiming to hit 247 units, offering two variants (4-strafe and 6-strafe) and apologizing for French terms left in the config. The thread quickly turns into the classic forum ritual of dozens of low-effort replies just saying 'thanks' or 'unhide' to reveal the hidden script content, with khios modestly downplaying his own work as 'a bit like crap' and musing about eventually bypassing longjump checkers or making it an exe. It's a small, humble snapshot of the CS 1.6 scripting scene's DIY spirit and the forum's hide/unhide reply culture.
Duno why but the 4straf version seems better... 'll improve this fast!— khios
I know it's a dream because users of FknOwned are just here to say "unhide thx"...— khios
only 247 a bit like crap— khios
Counter Strike 1.5 with WON2 (playable online)
The thread where old-school CS players relived 1.5 and WON2 nostalgia together
A long-running thread in the Red Light District > Games section where a shared copy of Counter Strike 1.5 configured for WON2 online play was passed around. Most of the visible replies are short, warm reactions from members thanking the poster and reminiscing about the classic mod era of CS before Source and 1.6 took over. It ran across multiple pages over several months (late 2007 into early 2008), pulling in a mix of longtime and newer members just to say thanks or share a nostalgic one-liner.
Ahh, the memories of 1.5.— Monkeygeek
Aaaaah, good old CS1.5! Thanks a lot— kaZad
OMg llol i remember htis— Superzxoz
Uber Spin - a joke CS:S spin script
The goofy 'hack' that wasn't a hack: just a script to make your character spin like Barney on crack, and somehow it ran for 13 pages.
A member named Darkness posted a harmless novelty CS:S console script that made the player's view spin at various speeds when bound to numpad keys, explicitly noting it wasn't a cheat, just a fun gimmick. The thread stuck around for years (2006 into at least 2008) as a low-effort but long-running joke thread, with a steady trickle of newcomers bumping it with one-liners like 'cool' and 'so fun' long after the original post. It's a good snapshot of the site's Scripting subforum culture: silly, non-cheat CS:S console tricks shared for laughs rather than competitive advantage.
This isn't a hack it's just a fun script.— Darkness
Press NumPad 4 to spin around like barney on crack! (lol?)— Darkness
so fun— skull_lawlz
Fuser's Amazon Accounts Shop: The Christmas Day Bidding War
A vendor thread selling cracked Amazon accounts turned into a chaotic Christmas Day bidding war over a bundle of GPUs, TVs, and 3D printers.
A seller known as Fuser opened a storefront thread in the Market Place's Top Sellers District, listing numbered 'accounts' priced by the electronics and gadgets attached to them (GPUs, TVs, game consoles, a 3D printer, etc.), with a disclaimer disavowing responsibility if accounts were recovered by their original owners. Several forum regulars vouched for Fuser's legitimacy early on, and two buyers, Dewritos and uNnAm3d, ended up in an escalating back-and-forth bidding war on Christmas Day 2014, repeatedly outbidding each other on the same handful of listings. The thread captures the casual, transactional tone of the forum's gray-market trading culture, complete with community trust vouches and holiday banter mixed into the haggling.
Vouch for this nigro— AnonymousAIM
Merry Christmas, Fuser!~— uNnAm3d
I can only afford so much :'(— uNnAm3d
The 'SHITMIX' CSS Hack Thread
A cheat pack literally titled SHITMIX, flagged VAC2 detected before anyone even downloaded it — thread still delivered chaos anyway.
A 2009 post in Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike: Source 'Detected Hacks' subforum, where user :j.t: dumped a hack pack already tagged [VAC2DETECTED] in the title, sarcastically telling readers to 'read the title.' The thread ballooned to six pages mostly full of low-effort one-word replies ('unhide', 'thx', 'wOOt') from members farming access to the hidden content, plus a couple of skeptics noting their antivirus flagged the file and one user asking for an actual screenshot list of what the mix contained. It's a solid time capsule of the forum's detected-hacks culture: mostly noise, some genuine caution, and the classic 'hidden content unlock' reply-farming ritual.
read the title you dumb fuck— :j.t:
Is this confirmed? EDIT: Set off my NOD32 and it got deleted. Staying away from this one.— mesa
Shitmix? Can we get a list of cheats, maybe some screenies?— Mutil8
Revolution-Hackers HvH Public Hack (Desperdyret) — Detected & Locked
A CS:S cheat gets dropped, gets scanned, gets flagged as a Steam-stealing trojan, and gets slammed shut in under a week.
A member named Desperdyret posted a public 'HvH' cheat for Counter-Strike: Source from the 'Revolution-Hackers' (RvH) group, claiming it worked well and could be used to beat rival cheat groups like 'phoenix hacks'. He also grumbled about drama with another site over posting a related clan-hack video. Trading vet Lukeyyy ran it through a multi-engine antivirus scan and found the loader/DLL flagged by multiple vendors as Steam password-stealing malware, warning everyone not to download it. Despite one user (hcduckiej) defending the hack as good and claiming only the loader was infected, staff (PopTart, then ap3x) closed the thread, reasoning that an infected loader still makes the whole package infected.
SCAN IN PROGRESS DO NOT DOWNLOAD— Lukeyyy
Wish I could remove the link myself to stop the dopes downloading this aha.— Lukeyyy
Doesnt matter if only the loader is infected... it's still infected.— ap3x
Soldat 1.4.0 - "This game is like CS, but 2d"
The 2D shooter Soldat gets its own hack-scene thread, complete with a warping mass-knife legend and a leaked registration key.
A member noticed that when Soldat updated to version 1.4.0, existing hacks broke, and asked if anyone wanted to make new ones work with the update. The thread drifted through some ribbing about why you'd even hack a 2D game, a tale of a player who reportedly warped between opponents knifing everyone until they won, a coder (SirBe) walking through the theory behind a 'MassDeath'/'MassKill' hack he built for an earlier version, and later posts claiming an old 1.3.1 registration key still unlocked paid features in 1.4.0, plus a late claim of having an aimbot with a BattlEye bypass. Overall a small, niche corner of the forum's hacking culture, low traffic but a fun little microcosm of the era's cheat-tutorial posting style.
Wow, I was on a server today and some guy came on and warped from player to player knifing everyone until he won..... I want that hack— krakowwak
yea im real excited about the new mods adon... but why would you want to hack in this game... its 2d ffs— c01Dcu7
Good old Soldat, so easy to hack.— NicCuh
thesource's $20 Steam Account Listing
A low-digit Steam account, a $20 asking price, and half the buyers still needed their parents' PayPal login.
A 2007 classifieds-style thread on Fkn0wned's Steam Account Trades subforum where user thesource listed a Steam account (bragging about its low 7-digit ID) for $20 USD, insisting on a middleman for safety. Several members expressed interest over the following weeks, but the thread reads as charmingly unserious — one buyer needed parental permission to use PayPal, another wasn't sure what a 'middleman' even was, and the account still hadn't sold a month later. A nice little time capsule of early Steam account trading and teenage internet commerce.
It is a low 7 digit, for proof join me in a game if u got a steam account— thesource
what excactly is a middle man— Legit_Hacks
i will buy it need my parant permision to use paypal then ill pay u must do middleman— minitureman
World's Fastest Nuke? — Debunking the Staged MW2 Clip
A viral 'world's fastest nuke' clip gets picked apart line-by-line until the guy himself admits it was staged
A member posts skepticism about a viral Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 'fastest nuke' video, laying out specific evidence it was staged (odd teammate positioning, a friend telling him to 'say it's legit', suspicious clan tags). Other members debate whether it was just lucky or outright fake, and the thread settles the question when someone notes Machinima confronted the video's creator, who admitted on camera it was faked. A short, tidy little forensic thread typical of the community's obsession with picking apart clips and callouts.
at 23 seconds, his 'Friend' or whoever it is says to say its legit.— deX-
It's fake. Machinima talked to the guy about it and asked why he faked it— vermiLLion

GoGoTo's Big Comeback That Never Quite Landed
The original 'Cracked VIP' guy came back with a 2010 relaunch hype thread... then vanished again while his own site 404'd.
GoGoTo, self-described creator of the 2009 'Cracked VIP' series for Counter-Strike, announced a triumphant return with a teased 2010 follow-up package, promising new content, videos, and support with a loose March 2010 release date. The community welcomed him back warmly, but the thread slowly curdled as members noticed his linked site was down and no updates, previews, or replies ever materialized. It ends unresolved, with members openly calling him out for going quiet after the hype.
That's right! I'm back! Even though most of you won't remember me I am the original creator of Cracked VIPs 2009 Series.— GoGoTo
Wanna' know what would be great? A fucking reply.. Come on OP!— sharpes123

[FkN]Subzero's Rage #1
13 minutes of a guy mic-spamming CS 1.6 kids into oblivion — the forum gave it a 9/10.
SubZero posted a video of himself raging (mic-spamming/trolling) in a Counter-Strike 1.6 server, apologizing that Google Video's compression ruined the audio quality. The thread is classic mid-2000s rage-video culture: members react with approval and light ribbing, SubZero shares a follow-up anecdote about a girl offering to flash if he'd stop, and a couple of regulars (including admin Shifty.) rate the rage and needle him about his actual skill level. It's a small, friendly community moment typical of the Raging and Advertising subforum, with a banned user's post capping off the thread.
this girl told me she would show her breast if I stop. I was like "I am homo".— SubZero
Rofl 13 mins jesus nice sounds your not a very gd player tho.— Shifty.
a really n1 rage. a little hacking would have been n1 too— strang0r
Rage Kit
The classic 2006 'how to rage' starter pack thread — voice annoyers, sprays, and disposable accounts, all in one post.
A member named ICE} posts a compiled 'rage kit' of tools for winding people up in Counter-Strike servers — voice annoyance software, spray packs, a screenshot uploader, and disposable accounts meant to survive repeated bans. The thread turns into a casual back-and-forth with other members comparing notes on which voice-annoy tool works best and grumbling about a game update messing with their setups. Low-key, chatty vibe typical of the Raging and Advertising section, with regulars ICE}, hacksfreakingrock, and Satan666 chiming in, plus a cameo from site fixture c0ke.
z0mg rage ftw lol— ICE}
Source? Meh.. 1.6 rages ftw.— ICE}

Very Strange — The 'Why Hasn't He Been Banned Yet' Thread
A guy hijacks his friend's Steam account to get him VAC banned out of spite — then complains when the ban doesn't come fast enough.
A user named Fringo admits to hacking a friend's Steam account after a real-life falling out, running a cheat on it for a couple days, then handing it back — hoping it would get banned. When the ban didn't materialize after a week, he asked the forum what was wrong. Regulars chime in with ban-wave timelines (anywhere from two weeks to a couple months) and debate whether the specific cheat version was even VAC-detected, with one member noting it 'has been detected for ages.' It's a small, almost comically petty slice of the era's cheat-scene culture — casual account tampering treated as a mundane troubleshooting question.
I hacked my friends steam account ( Because we he pissed me off in real life ) and I wanted to get his account banned..— Fringo
Holzed 1.2FIX has been detected FOR AGES.— bobbafett07
yeah my last account that got banned, took 2 and a half months, and thats pretty fucking funny that your getting his account banned, lmao— Legit_Hacks
