seren1ty Aimbot Marked VAC2 Detected
The tail end of a 15-page thread confirming another cheat had finally been caught by VAC.
This is the closing stretch (page 15) of a long-running thread in Fkn0wned.Com's 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum, marking the 'seren1ty' aimbot for Counter-Strike as VAC2-detected. By this point the thread had devolved into low-effort one-liners from newer members thanking others or asking for the content to be unlocked/unhidden, typical of how these detected-cheat threads wound down once the release was officially dead. No real drama here, just the quiet fizzle-out of a once-active release thread as members moved on.
good unhide— Wubaz
Thanks !!— bono
Simple Far ESP v4 (Works with Vista)
A Vista-compatible CS 1.6 ESP release that mostly just triggered a wall of 'unhide' begging and one broken download link
This is a January 2008 release thread in the VAC Detected / Not Working section for a CS 1.6 ESP tool called 'Simple Far ESP v4,' attributed to a poster using several aliases (Gordon`/Avril/KateMara/Kari) with credits to a handful of other scene names. The thread quickly devolves into the classic low-effort forum ritual: dozens of members posting 'ty,' 'thanks,' and repeated pleas of 'unhide' to reveal hidden download content, with almost no actual discussion of the tool itself. It closes out with a member reporting the download link was broken and just redirected to the front page, a common fate for old file-hosting links on this kind of board.
Unhide please...— dom666
How come when i click the link it sends me to the front page?— Haze183
Morihaeq b14 flagged VAC-detected
Another VAC-proof cheat gets outed as VAC-detected, and the thread just... fizzles into 'unhide plz' spam.
This is the tail end (page 6 of 6) of a Counter-Strike 1.6 thread in the 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum, marking the cheat release 'Morihaeq b14' as detected by Valve Anti-Cheat. By this point the thread has devolved into low-effort posts from mostly new/low-post members asking to have hidden content 'unhidden,' plus one report of the game crashing on launch. It captures the typical lifecycle of a VAC-scene release board: a cheat gets shared, eventually flagged as burned, and the thread lingers on as a graveyard of unhide requests.
unhide, thx— intrntrage
CS crashes when I try to open it.— Tomppa
How do you protect from Ban?
2008 forum wisdom on dodging VAC: 'don't use vac2 detected hacks and you're fine.'
A member asks whether there's any way to avoid a global VAC ban, or if it's just inevitable once you cheat. Replies are short and casual, ranging from the deadpan obvious ('don't use detected hacks') to vague mentions of 'material hacks' and Steam accounts that rotate IDs. It's a quick, low-drama exchange typical of the era's cheat-scene chatter rather than any real controversy.
Dont use vac2 detected hacks and youre fine.— HaSh
Material hacks ftw.— twitceh
VAC2 Bypasser - detection status check
One guy asks if the VAC2 bypass still works, a mod shuts it down in one line
A short, quiet thread in the Steam Client subforum where user krakowwak asks whether a VAC2 bypass tool was still undetected following a Valve update, having heard no recent chatter about it. Super Moderator DCLXVI replies tersely that it no longer works. The whole exchange is just two posts, a classic snapshot of the constant detected/undetected status-checking that defined cheat-scene forums of the era.
Is it still undetected? I haven't heard any word on it since the update— krakowwak
This is not working anymore.— DCLXVI
Full Games and GFC/NFC (hidden-content bump thread)
42 pages deep into a Steam-era game-sharing thread, mostly one-word thank-yous and a chorus of broken links
This was the tail end of a long-running Steam Client subforum thread about obtaining full games and GFC/NFC files, a staple topic in the Steam-cracking scene of the late 2000s. By page 42 the thread had devolved into a rapid-fire stream of low-effort 'unhide', 'ty', and 'thanks' replies from mostly new/low-post-count members just trying to reveal hidden content. It captures the classic forum-bump dynamic of hidden-content threads, ending fittingly with a member noting the links no longer worked.
all links are broken fk— nono01
xmas all came at once— destman
Buying ALL Your French Combo List - Buyers Plaza
Somebody wanted every French combo list on the market — and the regulars showed up to deal.
A short thread in the forum's Buyers Plaza market section where a member sought to buy up 'French combo lists' in bulk. Long-time VIP members wagino and Jeffy responded with brief deal-making replies, pointing toward Skype and PMs to continue negotiations off-thread, typical of how trades were brokered on this board.
Added you on skype !— wagino
got some. Pm me.— Jeffy
BF2142 Hack Montage Thread
A member's flashy BF2142 hack montage outlived the hack itself — five pages later, someone's just asking if it still works.
This is the tail end of a long-running thread in the Battlefield: 2142 sub-board where a member posted a montage video showcasing a hack in action. By page 5, the original hype had faded into a smaller trickle of replies, including one newcomer bumping the thread months later just to ask whether the hack still functioned. It's a small, quiet artifact of the site's Battlefield community rather than a major drama thread.
Nice work man hope still works.— Jazi22
work?— Demitri
A NEW BF2142 GUN???!! - mystery weapon thread
Some guy finds a weird gun in BF2142 and the forum can't decide if it's a skin, a bug, or a launch-day bonus
A member named thesource posts screenshots of an unfamiliar weapon he stumbled on while guarding a reactor core in Battlefield 2142, asking how to unlock it. Replies speculate it's just a skin, a special-member perk, or more likely the pre-order/launch-day bonus weapon that came bundled with early copies of the game. A minor, low-drama curiosity thread typical of the Other Games section, mostly notable for thesource (later banned) starting it.
I was just guarding our reactor core, then i picked up some random gun and im like WTF is this? it was ownage!— thesource
all there have buy bf2142 the day it came out got a code to that gun— prinz
CoD4 'Invisible Glitch' Thread
A user drops a hidden CoD4 'invisible glitch' post — and half the replies just call it fake.
A member named dgrock posted a locked/hidden-content thread claiming to reveal a Call of Duty 4 invisibility glitch, gated behind a reply-to-unlock wall typical of the forum. Reactions were short and skeptical, with a meme image ('Ninja style') and someone flatly asking if it was just fake. It's a small, low-drama slice of the CoD4 glitch-hunting scene rather than a major event.
Ninja style.— EqueL
Just Fake?— ZeuS
[VAC2 SAFE] FreakVision V3 by officerownage
A skin/config release for CS:S that got a couple of nods before vanishing into the archive.
A short release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source 'Materials' subforum where longtime member officerownage shared a de_dust2-themed screenshot and download link for something called 'FreakVision V3,' tagged as VAC2 safe. It's a quiet, low-drama thread typical of the cheat/customization scene on Fkn0wned — a couple of members dropped in with brief thanks before the topic went stale.
AMazing— PonG
cool good work man thanks.— e-G0D
We need some willing coders. To get some Gw hacks
Someone wanted Guild Wars hacks coded from scratch — got shut down fast with a server-side reality check.
A member on the Guild Wars subforum called for coders willing to build hacks for the game, half-joking that the whole GW section should be deleted otherwise. Replies were skeptical to dismissive: one regular pointed out nobody was lining up to code anything and that googling for hacks would just get accounts banned, while another explained that Guild Wars was server-side and thus essentially unhackable beyond cosmetic client tricks, with real risk of a ban. The thread fizzled quickly with a dry joke about the FBI getting involved.
Well first off on seeing it is basically impossible to hack GW since its server side. Everything you do will just be for looks it will not actually work in-game.— R4nd0m-Pr0
I know and it will also get the FBI on you.— mystical1
Keylogger vs Stealer: Best Method for Harvesting Steam Accounts
A poll and a three-post debate over the 'best method' for mass-harvesting Steam accounts — stealers won in a landslide.
Started by member albator in the Debate Hall, this thread was a straightforward poll-and-discussion asking whether keyloggers or 'stealers' were more effective for harvesting large numbers of Steam accounts. It's a small, quick thread — only a couple of replies — but it's a clear snapshot of the account-theft culture that ran through the site's 'Black Market' and security-adjacent boards. The vote leaned heavily toward stealers, with a couple of terse one-word agreements from other members.
Did you recommend to use a keylogger or a stealer in order to have the more steam account possible ?— albator
Stealer^^— N3cR0
Hack-Vision CSS Public v1.2 [VAC Detected]
14 pages deep in the CSS hack graveyard — the thread that outlived its own cheat.
This is the tail end of a sprawling 14-page thread in the 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum, marking the point where the once-hyped Hack-Vision CSS Public v1.2 cheat had been flagged as VAC-detected and effectively retired. By this point the thread had devolved into a long tail of low-effort bumps and one-word replies from mostly low-post-count 'Noob' members, the usual afterlife of a burned public release. It's a snapshot of the forum's cheat-release ecosystem in early 2008 — the churn of tools getting banned, threads getting archived, and members drifting through with minimal engagement.
ok nice one lad— YouRBaDBoY
woot woot— Stinkyarmpit
Nicks Unbanning Methods
The RuneScape botting crowd lines up to say thanks for Nick's ban-evasion tricks — three pages of pure gratitude spam.
A member known as [FkN] Nick posted a compiled list of methods for getting unbanned in RuneScape, aggregated from around the internet, gated behind a 'reply to see hidden content' wall. The thread devolved almost entirely into a long chain of one-word 'thanks'/'ty' replies from members angling for the hidden content and rep, typical of the forum's leech-and-reward culture. It's a small but representative artifact of the RuneScape Botting subforum's day-to-day traffic rather than any major drama.
These methods have been found around the internet, you can use these at your own risk. They cover every aspect and reason you could be banned. Enjoy and +REP if you love me :)— [FkN] Nick
Wtf Love you Nick— Beñja ®
Rsbot Vidal's Garden's leaked by Guzzie
Guzzie 'leaks' a $6 RuneScape botting script — turns out it was just a free survey link all along.
A June 2011 thread in the RuneScape > Botting section where user Guzziex claimed to be 'leaking' a paid RSBot script (normally $6), which he'd actually just found freely accessible on the developer's own site behind a survey wall. VIP member FR3QU3NCY immediately called out the 'leak' framing since Guzziex hadn't actually uploaded anything himself. Despite the callout, the thread filled up with the usual parade of one-word 'ty'/'thx'/'+rep' replies and requests to unhide the content, typical of the forum's leech-heavy botting subsection.
"Leaked by Guzzie" How did you leak it when you didn't upload it— FR3QU3NCY
I found the script in their website. You need to pay 6 dollar or u need to do a survey.— Guzziex
Minecraft 1.7 Hack Client Download And Tutorial
VIP member drops a griefing client for Minecraft 1.7 — install steps included, adf.ly link later scrubbed by mods
A VIP-ranked member named QuaXz posted a download for a Minecraft 1.7 'hack client' aimed at griefing, along with basic Windows install instructions pointing users to the .minecraft/bin folder. The download itself was locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall, typical of the forum's leech-bait culture. A moderator later edited the original post to strip out an adf.ly monetized link. Replies were sparse and low-effort, just a couple of members saying thanks and that they'd check it out.
shit is awesome— QuaXz
sounds good, ill take a look.— Biggie
Anyone have D2 expansion pack CD key?
A guy offered 60 forum points for a Diablo II: LOD serial — and half the board suddenly 'had one'
A short, mundane request thread in the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction sub-forum where user orangespwnz offered 60 site points for a working expansion CD key, insisting the points were real but sitting 'in the bank.' Several members chimed in claiming to have keys (some offering trades for CS keys instead), while a veteran member, banak, called out the obvious play of grabbing a key off a serial-generator site to farm points. A classic slice of late-2000s forum life: low-stakes bartering, points-economy hustling, and a bit of skepticism policing the trade.
I guess you want a serial working on battle net? And to the 1 post wonder, you probably dl it from serials.ws or whatever, dont expect to get points for that— banak
ill give u a LOD cdkey for a cs key pm me if ur do...— CrazEy
ProdigyPUB Chams Cheat Called Out as Advertising Spam
A Combat Arms 'chams' hack drop that got called out as noob advertising within hours
In the Combat Arms subforum, member rjross2000 posted a guide claiming a working 'ProdigyPUB' cheat (chams, DLL injection via FaithInject) for Combat Arms as of December 19, 2009, limited to Vista/Windows 7 systems. It required signing up to an external forum to actually get the hack, which drew immediate suspicion. Another member, Pk3dyoura1, showed up just to call it out as spam/advertising, and rjross2000 sheepishly admitted he couldn't edit the post to fix the external link. A tiny, quintessential slice of the era's cheat-sharing culture and forum policing.
Ban this stupid noob advertising!— Pk3dyoura1
i would edit it so that i could put in the link for the hack so u dont have to sign up to them, but as it seems there is no edit button to do that with!!!— rjross2000
CS1.6 Silent Run Script Request Shut Down After Update Patched the Exploit
A one-line question, a wrong-section spat, and a mod slamming the door with 'you can't script this anymore'
A member named April asked for a script to automate silent running (duck+walk) in Counter-Strike 1.6. The thread briefly derailed into bickering over whether it belonged in the CS 1.6 or CS:Source scripts subforum, complete with a jab about being 'retarded' before an admin moved it to the correct board. A crew member then closed the topic, explaining that a game update had patched out the cvars/loops needed for that kind of script, making the request moot.
Are you retarded? It's in the materials/scripts section.— xXHeistXx
You can't script this since the update a while ago. It blocked all of the cvars and loops used to make scripts for this sort of thing.— vermiLLion
Rev's Player Models
A CS:S regular shares his custom red/blue player skins — cue a parade of one-word 'thx' and 'unhide' replies
Member Reverend posted a set of custom-colored Counter-Strike: Source player models (his own take on the plain red/blue team skins, meant to help with target visibility) that he'd apparently been using and sharing with clanmates for years, hosted via a hidden Filefront link. The thread quickly devolved into the classic download-thread pattern: dozens of low-effort replies just trying to 'unhide' the content, with a couple of admins (ap3x) and regulars chiming in with quick thanks or jokes about the garish color choice. No real drama here, just a snapshot of everyday skin-sharing culture on the board.
I think i just tripped out... those are some funky colors :D thanks for this though!— ap3x
aight niggah lets see this shit— Slickz
High FPS Skins Request (CS:S Skins Board)
NIX just wanted plain red/blue skins for better FPS — got a solid answer within a day
A short, low-drama thread in the Counter-Strike: Source skins subforum where longtime [FkN] Crew member NIX asked for simple, low-detail player/weapon skins to boost FPS. VIP member awshit supplied a download of flat-colored models, noting it flagged as 'detected' but was just a cosmetic skin swap, and another member confirmed months later that it worked well. A quiet, functional exchange typical of the site's gaming customization corner rather than any major event.
I just basically need a set of simplistic skins for player models n weapons I want something that's just plain red/blue or w/e— NIX
I know it says it's detected but these are simply colored models.— awshit
SimpleCSSHack v5.5 release thread
A patched-up CS:S cheat drops in the Detected Hacks graveyard, gets its obligatory pile of 'unhide' replies, then gets locked.
This is a release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source > Detected Hacks subforum, where user Slickz posted version 5.5 of a cheat called SIMPLECSSHACK, billed as a bugfix update over 5.4. The actual download content has since been removed from the archived page, leaving mostly the ritual back-and-forth of members replying 'unhide' or short thanks to reveal/access the hidden content. A moderator (SNK) closed the thread the next day, as was standard practice once a hack was marked detected/outdated.
Thanks Mate <3— Sleeping Forest
;Closed— SNK
Problems with installing fear exodus hack
A newbie can't launch his F.E.A.R. cheat, and a French-Canadian regular tries to talk him through it in charmingly broken English.
A short 2007 support thread in the F.E.A.R. subforum where a brand-new member (his very first post) hits a permissions error trying to run the 'Exodus' cheat client on Windows XP. Another low-post-count member chimes in with the same issue, and longtime member blackxthink offers basic troubleshooting steps, apologizing for his English since he's French-Canadian, eventually suggesting it might be a game-version/patch mismatch. The thread fizzles out unresolved, a pretty typical slice of the low-stakes tech-support chatter that filled Fkn0wned's game-specific boards.
I cant be more specific with my dick english , Cause im frnech— blackxthink
i am new to all this stuff— sonofagun33
8 Digit Steam Account for Sale
A guy skips the trading forum's 100-post rule with a middleman just to offload an old 8-digit Steam account for a Runescape trade.
A short, humble listing in the Steam Account Sales subforum where user PhaSeOut offers an early 8-digit Steam account loaded with CS 1.6, CS:Source, and Garmod 10, hoping to swap for a decent-looking Runescape account. Since he didn't meet the forum's 100-post trading requirement, he mentions using a middleman to make the deal happen. Only one reply comes in, from RecoileZ, asking for contact info to talk business. A tiny, quiet snapshot of the site's account-trading economy and the era when Steam accounts, game keys, and Runescape loot were casually bartered like trading cards.
Although I do not have 100 posts I will be using a middle man.— PhaSeOut
whats ur email? well talk— RecoileZ
Selling a Steam Account with CS:GO for $5
A whole Steam library, CS:GO included, going for the price of a coffee — no receipts included.
A member named cudYnho listed a Steam account bundled with an unranked CS:GO copy and a stack of other games for the grand sum of $5, posted in the Completed Sales section of the Market Place. Fellow trader Bangerz pressed for basic assurances — recoverability, proof of purchase — and got somewhat evasive answers, including an admission it wasn't cudYnho's 'personal' account. The thread closed out marked SOLD, a small snapshot of the low-stakes account-flipping economy that ran through these market boards.
100% sure it can't be !— cudYnho
It's not my personal account mate , but if you have problems i can full refund you.— cudYnho
Immunity Duo cheat release thread winds down
A CS 1.6 cheat release thread winds down with dead links, a crashed PC, and someone asking what the panic key even was.
This is the tail end of a multi-page thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 'VAC Proof Releases' board about a cheat called 'Immunity Duo'. By this final page the hype has faded into the usual cleanup: broken download links, a member reporting the tool crashed their computer, and confusion over basic controls like the panic key. Small, low-post-count members carry the late replies, giving it the feel of a thread that outlived its usefulness before finally dying out.
download link doesnt work, just come to the homepage of fknowned— Akamos
It doesn't seem to work... Crashes my comp.. and Whats the PanicKey anyways? F12?— Blown
Silent Emailer spam tool sale thread
A shady 'send anonymous emails, no spam box' tool for sale, complete with a member begging for a vouch
This was a Top Sellers District listing for a paid tool called 'Silent Emailer,' pitched as a cheap way to send anonymous emails that landed in the inbox rather than spam folders. The visible exchange is small but classic marketplace-forum flavor: a newer member asks for a vouch to confirm the seller's legitimacy, and the seller (a since-banned 'Pro Spammer' ranked user from Portugal) replies that all his vouch copies were already given out, directing the buyer to PM him instead. It captures the low-key hustle culture of the site's sales subforum, where reputation and vouches mattered more than any real accountability.
Could I get a vouch ?— Lulzsec
Already give all vouch copies buddy, but pm me If you are interested in buy.— Johnny Walker
Bkdservice DDoS Booter Ad Thread
A booter service ad in the Security & Hacking section, propped up by a pile of vouches
This was a service-advertisement thread posted by member KillZon! in the Security & Hacking category, promoting a paid DDoS/flooding and dedicated server offering called Bkdservice with a linked booter site. The post includes a spoiler block of buyer/trader vouches praising smooth deals and trustworthiness, a common format on these forums for building seller reputation. It's a small but representative snapshot of the market/service-hawking culture that filled fkn0wned's Security & Hacking and Gaming Market boards.
New Servers, Increased Power!— KillZon!
GOD TRADER BIG VOUCH
DJPanda's Cheap Steam Store
The old cheap-Steam-goods hustle: a VIP flexer taking game requests and handing out account IDs like candy.
This is page 2 of a 'Regular Sellers District' thread where forum member Panda (a VIP-ranked user going by 'Youngest Flexer'') ran a cut-price Steam goods shop. A member asked for CS 1.6 / Counter-Strike: Source related items, and Panda replied with account info to fulfill the request. The thread has the low-key transactional vibe typical of the marketplace boards, with Panda's flashy signature and shoutouts to other members who made his forum graphics.
which game? Anything / Everything with cs1.6 and CSS if you can ;D!— LordEthan2
thats the steam id for the css and cs1.6 with other crap.— Panda
T0xic Vap0r's Store - Netflix Account/Log Seller Thread
A netflix-and-logs hustler bumping his shop thread, one vouch at a time.
This was a seller's storefront thread in the marketplace section of the forum, where a member going by T0xic Vap0r (formerly AnonymousBros12) advertised accounts and logs for sale. The post is a routine 'bump' to keep the listing visible, complete with links to his shop and profile. Below it sits a small pile of vouches from buyers praising fast delivery and working Netflix accounts — the informal reputation system that kept these gray-market storefronts trustworthy (or at least functional) within the community.
Vouch for Anonymous, Got the account withen a minute after paying, there all working and very cheap netflix account!
Vouch for Anonymous, he is legit as they come. Sold me 2 netflix accounts fast and easy and both worked.
Selling New Games & 250+ Steam Games Inventory (Regular Sellers District)
A guy with a 250-game Steam stash, some Far Cry 3 haggling, and two random 'Call Me Maybe' bumps for the ages.
This was a classic Gaming Market trade thread where a seller advertised a large personal Steam game inventory (250+ titles) plus new games, looking for PayPal or offers/trades. The replies show typical marketplace back-and-forth — a member asking about CS:GO availability, another negotiating for Far Cry 3 without cash on hand — before devolving into off-topic bump posts quoting Carly Rae Jepsen lyrics. A small, low-key slice of forum life rather than a major event.
HAVE CS:GO?— batman_
I just met you and this is Crazy so here's my Number so ( @ Start )— pjforum
Xbox 360 Black Ops 2 'Master Prestige, Diamond Guns' Account for Sale
Someone was hawking a maxed-out Black Ops 2 account in the marketplace pit, and the vouches actually rolled in.
A quick marketplace listing from the Gaming Market section, offering a legit Xbox 360 Black Ops 2 account claiming Master Prestige status with all primary guns diamond camo. The surviving reply chain is just a string of buyer vouches and rep exchanges, the classic rhythm of these old account/item-trading threads. Poster FaTalFLaVoR appears to have been a known VIP member with custom sig work credited to another user, 'Panda.'
thanks man!! +rep!!!
worked +rep /vouch!
!Panda + Cosmonty Shop! CHEAP - Top Sellers District
A cut-rate shop thread where 'Panda' and 'Cosmonty' peddled goods and racked up vouches in the Top Sellers District.
This was a vendor thread in fkn0wned's marketplace section, advertising a joint shop run by members Panda and Cosmonty, pitched as cheap and reliable. A regular named Zoofie chimed in with a vouch after buying from Cosmo, giving the sellers some credibility, and Panda bumped the thread with his usual VIP flourish and signature GFX-crew brag. It's a small snapshot of the forum's market culture — vouches, bumps, and community-run shops keeping the economy going.
i got shit from cosmo and works great /vouch GLWS niggas— Zoofie
bumpmaspd The best GFX Crew member ever.— Panda
[H] SHOP [W] BF3 Premium
A guy just wants to trade his shop for Battlefield 3 Premium — no sellers, no offers, got it?
A short trade listing in the Traders District where a member offered his 'shop' in exchange for Battlefield 3 Premium, explicitly ruling out cash sales or unrelated offers. The thread doubles as a glimpse of forum trading culture, complete with a lengthy vouch list attesting to the trader's reliability and a running post-count 'quest' tracker. Pretty mundane by forum standards, but a nice little time capsule of how reputation and trust were built through vouches on these old trading boards.
i want trade it... no sell, no in this topic and no for your offer !!! Shop !!!— Adri9102
2 dollars?— eliac7
Steam Accounts - Working Options
Some old-school account sharing that would never fly on today's internet.
A short 2007 thread in the General Discussion section of Fkn0wned.com where a member with 3,600+ posts ('Afteryou') posted a couple of shared Steam logins for others to use. A Supervisor and a Staff member quickly chimed in to confirm the accounts worked, in the casual, low-effort style typical of these throwaway account-sharing posts on the forum.
thx, working 100%— HaSh
4 Digit Steam Account — For Sale by XpliciteR
A low-numbered Steam ID with just Half-Life 1 on it, listed for $140 back in 2009 — the good old days of buying internet clout by the digit.
A VIP member named XpliciteR posted in the Market Place forum offering to sell an old, low-numbered ('4 digit') Steam account carrying only the HL1 package, asking $140 USD via PayPal and providing MSN contact for buyers. It's a snapshot of the era when early Steam account numbers were prized as status symbols and forum marketplaces doubled as informal trading posts, complete with strict 100-post rules to curb scams. A simple, single-post listing with no visible replies or bidding drama captured in this archive.
Not going first, Paypal only. I'm thinking $140 USD.— XpliciteR
Niceboyd's FUD Crypting Service
$2 to make your malware invisible — one member's side hustle in the Black Market subforum.
A short, bare-bones service ad posted by member Niceboy233 in the Black Market section of Fkn0wned's Tech & Security area, offering paid 'FUD' (fully undetectable) crypting and binding services for $2 a job. The post is brief and businesslike, with the poster asking interested buyers to comment before contacting him directly. It's a small snapshot of the informal cheat/malware economy that ran through the forum's Black Market board, sandwiched between unrelated ad banners and a 'hide hack' announcement in the site chrome.
$2 for full FUD crypting and I can bind if you want as well I will not provide fake program.— Niceboy233
WoW: Burning Crusade Key for CS:S Account Trade
One member's offering up an unused WoW: Burning Crusade key straight-up for a Counter-Strike: Source Steam account — old-school forum barter economy in action.
A short, single-post listing in the Market Place board where a long-time member (over 200 posts, joined mid-2006) offered an unused World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade key in exchange for a Steam account with Counter-Strike: Source, mentioning they also had a WoW/BC account as a backup offer. The post is a good snapshot of the era's informal account/key swapping culture, done on trust with no escrow, vouching for their own honesty by pointing to their post history. No replies were archived, so it's unclear if the trade ever happened.
i have no reason to rip anyone off as i love gettin wares and porn from here you can look on my profile but it is a honest trade— got_hax_but_dont_know_shit
Headzots Setup Help Request
A newbie asks for cheat config help and gets a masterclass in early-2010s forum toxicity instead.
A brand-new member ('Toxiclife') posted in the CS 1.6 General section asking for help configuring the 'Headzots 2.0' aim tool, admitting he was new to the site. Nearly two weeks later, a since-banned user ('MicroUltra') replied with a dismissive, slur-laden non-answer offering generic troubleshooting steps. The thread went nowhere after that single reply, typical of the harsh, low-moderation culture on this board.
If you cant get it to work i guess ur screwed in the ass.— MicroUltra
New member requests custom auto-knife hack for CS 1.6
A new member asks the forum to custom-build him an auto-knife hack — because getting killed from a yard away just isn't fair
A brand-new member (joined the month prior) posts in the CS 1.6 General subforum asking if someone could make him a VAC2-safe 'mad knife hack' that auto-hits opponents on range, complaining about players who out-knife him from a distance. A staff moderator, NutterNZ, replies but the response text wasn't captured. Classic low-effort request thread typical of the era, sitting alongside ads for a hack-selling storefront and the site's own IRC channel.
i hope someone smart will make a kick ass hack for me to own with— Korean_Phreak
"FKN UPDATES?" - member asks if the cheat is getting patched after a ban
One banned member, one plaintive question: is anybody still updating this thing?
A low-post-count member ('worst player ever') posts in the CS 1.6 General board asking whether Fkn0wned staff plan to push any updates, after getting VAC-banned using both SSW and the FKN cheat. The tone is mildly dejected, wondering aloud if the admins even care anymore. A longtime [FkN] Crew member, Sonikk, replies, though the reply content is cut off in the archive. A small, ordinary snapshot of the constant cat-and-mouse between cheat devs and anti-cheat that defined this scene.
I just got banned from using SSW yesterday and got ban using the FKN cheat.... will anyone run any updates soon? or does the admins not care anymore =(— worst player ever
sXe Injected 3.9 Bypass Request
A cheater begs the forum for a hack that beats sXe 3.9 — and pre-emptively tells everyone not to judge him for it.
A new member named koison opens a thread on the Fkn0wned CS 1.6 General board asking if anyone has a cheat capable of bypassing the sXe Injected anticheat's 3.9 version. He's upfront and defensive about being a cheater, framing it as playing for fun rather than competitively, and preemptively shuts down any 'don't cheat' replies. The thread is a small, blunt snapshot of the perpetual cat-and-mouse between anticheat updates and cheat users that defined this era of the CS 1.6 cheat scene. Only one reply from longtime member Arcade appears in the archived excerpt.
i know im a cheater, to all those that enters and says "dont play with cheats, lol" and shit like that- want to tell you this i cant done shit in the CS without a cheat, i use it to have fun, not to play professionaly— koison
Removing Smoke?
One guy just wanted smoke grenades to stop blocking his crosshair — a classic CS 1.6 tweak thread
A member named Gio asked if anyone remembered the old trick to make smoke grenade effects not render in Counter-Strike, a common competitive-visibility tweak of the era. A couple of regulars chimed in with suggestions involving video color quality settings and a console variable, and the thread trailed off with a quoted reply days later. It's a small, mundane slice of the forum's Counter-Strike 1.6 General section — the kind of low-key tech-support back-and-forth that made up the bulk of daily traffic.
I remember reading it up that you would either have to delete something or type something somewhere in the cs files and the smoke from smoke grenades wouldnt appear? Anyone remember what to do, if you do mind telling me?— Gio
Old Steam Ban-Fix File Trick
A banned member tries to remember an old Steam ban-fix trick nobody's sure still works
A one-post member named BlueLight shows up asking about an old, half-remembered method involving deleting a file in Steam's directory to get around a VAC/CS-S hack ban, saying it worked for them a year prior but they can't recall the details. A veteran member, Arcade of the '[FkN] Ragers' group, responds, though the reply is cut off. It's a small, mundane slice of the era's ban-evasion folklore rather than a major event.
There used to be a file in steam that we could delete if we got banned like i just did— BlueLight
Looking for Coder - Paid Job Post
Someone wanted to pay a coder to bridge InnerSpace with CS 1.6 back in '07 — did anyone bite?
A member named Tenshi posted a paid job listing in the CS 1.6 General subforum, seeking a developer to build an extension linking the LavishSoft InnerSpace platform with Counter-Strike 1.6 and CS:Source. Long-time [FkN] Crew member Sonikk replied shortly after, though the visible content cuts off before showing the response. A small, businesslike classifieds-style post typical of the era's cheat-scene forums, where coding gigs and tool requests were common between members.
Looking for a competent developer to write an extension for InnerSpace (made by LavishSoft) that interacts with CS 1.6 and CS:S.— Tenshi
AWP Quick-Switch Config Script for CS:S
A quick-switch AWP config script, posted to close out 2009 on the Source scripts board.
A short technical post in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools section where member freeman13 shared a client-side config script for auto-switching to the AWP sniper rifle, toggled with the MOUSE3 key. It's a bare-bones, single-post thread typical of the scripts subforum — no discussion or replies followed, just a config dump for other CS:S players to try in their autoexec file. The page is otherwise cluttered with leftover ad banners (an Anabolic Innovations supplement giveaway) that got swept up in the archive, a small reminder of the era's forum monetization style.
Put script in autoexec.cfg you turn it On with MOUSE3.— freeman13
Server Freezer [Working] — CS:S Scripts/Tools
One member's console command reportedly froze CS:S servers solid — filed under 'Its pretty fun to do.'
A short 2009 post in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum by member darksoul32, sharing a console bind/config that spammed a command to bog down or freeze game servers. Framed casually as a fun trick rather than a serious exploit writeup, it's a small time-capsule of the era's script-sharing culture around CS:S server griefing tools. The thread got no visible replies, just the original post sitting alone on page 1.
Its pretty fun to do.— darksoul32
Diablo II CD Key Auction for Site Points
A guy named Olie22 tried to auction off an unused Diablo II CD key for site points, because 2007 economics.
A short auction listing from Gametration.com's Auctions subforum, where a member offered an unused Diablo II: Lord of Destruction CD key, starting the bidding at 80 points with a 'buy it now' option for a good enough offer. It's a tiny snapshot of the old cheat-scene forum economy, where members traded and bartered game keys and items using site reputation points instead of cash. The poster, Olie22, was later marked as a banned member, adding a bit of unresolved mystery to the thread.
This D2 LOD cd key is un-used and starts at 80 points post here or PM me if yuor intrested. if sumone bids a kik ass price theirs straight away.— Olie22
CS 1.6/CZ Server Crash Script Share
A banned 'Trained Noob' offers a server-crashing script he dug up off his old hard drive so people can rage lame CS servers
A low-ranked member posting under a Banned group status asks how to upload a crash script for Counter-Strike 1.6/CZ servers, claiming he found it on an old hard drive rather than made it himself. He wanted to share it so others could disrupt servers he considered 'lame.' A staff member (Bucketface) replies but the visible content cuts off before showing the response. Fairly typical of the era's rowdy, rule-skirting 'raging' subculture the board's Raging and Advertising section was built for.
I did not make it but i found it in my old harddrive.— hahai hax
