Seren1ty Aimbot r17 release thread

A ten-plus-page VAC-era aimbot release that ran for months until it got flagged 'DETECTED' and everyone started begging for an unhide

This was a release thread in Fkn0wned's 'VAC Proof Releases' subforum for 'Seren1ty Aimbot r17', a Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat that in this version added support for Day of Defeat, Condition Zero, and Team Fortress Classic. The thread ran to at least 12 pages between January and May 2008, starting with the usual credits list and changelog, then devolving into the classic cheat-forum life cycle: a wave of low-effort 'thanks'/'nice' bumps, followed by reports the tool got flagged as detected, and a long tail of newer members repeatedly demanding it be 'unhidden' even after a member pointed out it had been patched long ago.

DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED DETECTED— Gad23

Why would you need to unhide it? This was patched a fairly long time ago, any further suggestions about the program could be posted in this topic I suppose.— coldblade

Unhide!!!— Raymanjc

"Want free game accounts?" - HaSh's Scamming Recruitment Thread

A member openly recruits a 'scamming crew' to rip off game accounts and resell them for forum points — right out in the open.

In October 2007, forum regular HaSh posted an open call for members willing to help scam game accounts (targeting markeedragon.com and WoW accounts) in exchange for free accounts and a cut of what got resold on the forum for points. He announced he'd hold same-night 'tryouts' and only take on a handful of recruits. A couple of members replied showing interest, including one asking if there'd be a training area for beginners. The thread is a blunt snapshot of the forum's cheat-scene culture, where scamming schemes were pitched casually as forum 'business'.

Im looking for people that are good at scamming.— HaSh

i would if i could scam but im just starting, it would be nice if you have a training area— bragamuffin

New Recode Released — Catalyst Tactics VAC2-Proof Update

The day Fkn0wned dropped a 'VAC2 Proof' recode just to keep old hacks alive a little longer

A News + Updates post from site head admin [FkN] Bisdale announcing a recoded release of the Catalyst Tactics hack for Counter-Strike, billed as VAC2-proof with minor added features. Bisdale is upfront that Fkn0wned didn't create the original base and frames the release as a stopgap to tide the community over until newer hacks emerged. Screenshots (de_dust/de_nuke) were posted alongside a download link, and the thread quickly got a follow-up question from a member checking on feature functionality.

It's nothing big or special and Fkn0wned doesn't take any credit for the base. This release is just to keep the VAC2 hacks out there untill new hacks are released.— [FkN] Bisdale

does the speed hack work?— [FkN] PaRaNoID

Help! Is Someone Hacking Me? (The Disk-Drive Troll Plugin)

A cheater gets spooked when his own disk drive pops open mid-hack — turns out it was just a troll plugin.

A brand-new member panics after his CD drive mysteriously ejects while he's using cheats in a CS 1.6 server, right after someone types 'Hacker is hacked' in chat. Another member quickly reassures him it's harmless — just an old server-side plugin used to mess with cheaters, something they'd run on their own server before. Short, low-drama thread, but a nice little time capsule of 2008-era CS 1.6 cheat culture and the pranks admins pulled on hackers.

Today I was hacking for fun and it was obvious and within 5 minutes someone said, "Hacker is hacked" and my disk drive opened. Can they do anything serious?— speedytarget

No.... its just a plugin someone used on you. I use to have it on my old cs server.— v13ttweaker

CS:S - Shitloads of FREE exploits.

One YouTube dump of CS:S exploits, one salty reply, one legendary meltdown.

GunGravE posted a roundup video/link compilation of Counter-Strike: Source server-lagging and crashing exploits, calling it his farewell to 'scripting'. The thread quickly turned sour when member Paiin complained the links were broken, prompting GunGravE to fire back with a foul-mouthed rant defending his work. A short, punchy thread from the Scripts/Tools subforum that captures the era's mix of free-exploit sharing and forum snark.

Almost every single thing in the 3rd mediafire link did NOT work. You sir are an epic failure.— Paiin

No, you're just a huge dumbshit, and managed to do "almost every single thing" wrong.— GunGravE

Unban GUID / Hardware Ban and Global Ban Thread

Got hax, got banned? This 11-page thread was the community's DIY unban clinic.

Started by retarded_elephant69 in April 2007 after a fellow member got banned using a cheat he'd uploaded, this thread became a long-running self-help spot for members dealing with GUID, hardware, and global bans. Other regulars chimed in with quick jabs (like 'get a HW spoofer or a new key') and requests for laptop-specific advice, capturing the casual, half-guilty, half-helpful tone typical of the cheat scene at the time. It ran to 11 pages, suggesting steady demand from banned members looking for a way back in.

i felt kinda bad evn tho he didnt blame me— retarded_elephant69

lawl its called HW SPOOFER..or get a new key.— Visual0n!

Glider PRO Released! (Dual/SoloGlide Relogger)

A World of Warcraft botting tool release thread, complete with a guy bragging about his gold-farming empire.

This thread in the Other Games section announced a release of a WoW-related automation/relogger tool called 'Glider PRO' with added features. The visible tail end of the discussion has a banned member, RoflCake, boasting about years of botting multiple accounts to farm and sell in-game currency, claiming only one detection and two lost accounts despite a major Blizzard ban wave. It's a snapshot of the mid-2000s botting/gold-farming subculture that overlapped heavily with cheat forums like this one.

Blizzard suck. iv gotten 2 Characters to 70, like 5 or 6 to 60. Sold them all.— RoflCake

Gliding FTW— RoflCake

Why Low Digit Steam Accounts Were So Valuable

The FAQ post that tried (and failed) to stop the same question from getting asked for the millionth time

A pinned-style explainer thread in the Steam Account Trades subforum where longtime member/mod Shifty breaks down why low-digit Steam account IDs commanded high prices and eBay resale value back in 2007. It's a classic 'stop asking this' post born from repetitive newbie questions clogging the trading section. Short, dry, and purely explanatory, it captures the era when Steam account trading was a real cottage economy on cheat/gaming forums.

To many n00bs have asked this question around the forum but mainly in the trading sections so I am going to answer this question here and hope nobody misses it and makes the mistake of asking again.— Shifty

I hope joo understandZ.— Shifty

Mod's Phishing Kit Stash & Swap Thread (2009)

A mod openly shares a giant stash of fake-login pages for AOL, eBay, PayPal, Steam and more, asking members to trade more back.

In this General Discussion thread from March 2009, a site moderator ('FkN' Smod) announces he's 'starting phishing again' and posts a long list of phishing kits he's made for sites ranging from Steam, PayPal, and Skype to Habbo, Myspace, and even Megaupload, then solicits other members to contribute more. It's a blunt, almost casual snapshot of the era's cheat-scene culture, where account theft tools were traded openly like any other download. The reply that follows is just a brief acknowledgment, suggesting the thread likely continued across its six pages with more submissions.

Yeah, i'm gonna start phishing again, i'll phish any accounts/any website.— FkNwnedWasHere

And yes i managed to make a megaupload phisher!!!— FkNwnedWasHere

Ping is Shooting up and Down

A guy's ping goes to 400 — then his Steam account gets stolen, and suddenly the whole thread's a keylogger mystery.

A member named tauruspt2 posted a routine tech support thread about erratic ping spikes in CS 1.6, and regulars chimed in with the usual troubleshooting (check ISP throttling, reinstall OS, look for viruses). The thread takes a darker turn when tauruspt2 reveals his and a friend's Steam accounts were hijacked after a Diablo II argument with a stranger, with a friend finding a trojan on his machine. Other posters speculate the culprit was a keylogger bundled in downloaded CS/CS:S skins and script packs, a reminder of how casually cheat/mod file sharing on the forum could carry hidden malware. It's a small, mundane-turned-uneasy slice of the era's support board, capturing the low-trust file-sharing culture around the community.

MY ACCOUNT WAS STOLEN!— tauruspt2 (quoting friend)

you're obviously infected with a keylogger, probably a FUD one too.— f0wh

[Undetected] Silentrunner Tags

A Battlefield 2 tag cheat drop that turned into a 'my account got hacked, sorry about the virus' apology thread.

A member called silentrun3r posted a Battlefield 2 ESP-style cheat ('Silentrunner Tags') claiming it was undetected, offering features like nofog, nosky, viewdistance tweaks, nametags, distance tags, healthbars, and kit display. Another member started checking it out, but a third user warned the download was packed with viruses and had already been flagged on UnknownCheats. Weeks later silentrun3r returned to apologize, claiming their account had been compromised and used to post the infected file, with the password since changed.

dont download this its packed wit viruses!! it on unknowncheats, ive seen the scan!!— akskid

sorry about this guys all my forum accounts were hacked by some faq then he used my account to post viruses i have changed my password now so dw about it.— silentrun3r

[GMS]V.38 Hacks & CT

Yosh drops the full V.38 GameGuard bypass toolkit for GMS MapleStory — CT tables, map rush routes, and a UCE loader, all in one megapost.

A 2007 post in the Maple Story subforum from user YoshMitSu sharing an updated Cheat Engine table and toolkit for the global MapleStory client version 38, including a GameGuard/CRC bypass method, various trainer functions (item vac, stat unrandomizer, item filter, map-rush pathing data, a 'Super dICE' item-vacuum script), and a bundled loader/UCE plus a GameGuard error-fix utility. The tone is casual and dismissive of scrutiny, typical of the era's cheat-sharing culture, with Yosh brushing off any responsibility for the safety of the files. This thread is a good snapshot of the mid-2000s MapleStory private-hack scene that forums like Fkn0wned catered to.

Happy Hacking.— YoshMitSu

Don't trust them? Don't download. Im not going to fucking scan it for you noobs.— YoshMitSu

Long Jump Script (page 16 of 16)

A 300+ post CS 1.6 scripting classic finally hits its last page — mostly 'thanks' and 'unhide plz'

This is the tail end of a massive, long-running Counter-Strike 1.6 scripting thread dedicated to a long jump script, spanning 16 pages and over 300 replies by the time this archive snapshot was taken. By this final page the thread has settled into its late-life pattern: new members trickling in months or years after the original post, asking to unhide the hidden script content or dropping quick thanks. It's a good example of an old 'hidden reply' script-sharing thread that kept accumulating bumps long after the original conversation died down.

ty— SBot

unhide— ImHunter

VAC Ban Rant: 'FUCK YOU VALVE'

A guy lets his little brother borrow his account for one day — and Valve nukes his six-digit Steam legacy.

A long-time member with an old, low-numbered Steam account vents after getting VAC banned because his younger brother downloaded cheats while borrowing the account. He laments the lost value and status of his 'six-digit' Steam ID, worries his CAL team will now think he hacks, and has to fall back on a lesser seven-digit account for an upcoming match. It's a classic Rants and Raves thread capturing the era's obsession with early Steam account prestige and the ever-present threat of VAC bans.

VAC, FUCK YOU VALVE— TheLoneMan

MY UNSPEAKABLY VALUABLE 6 DIGIT STEAM ACCOUNT IS FUCKING BANNED.— TheLoneMan

Auto-Pistol Rapid Fire "Undetected Forever" Turns Out to Be a Keylogger

Posted as 'undetected forever,' filed under Detected Hacks, flagged as a keylogger — a perfect CS:S cheat-scene cautionary tale.

A user named arash posted a CS:S auto-pistol/rapid-fire cheat claiming it was 'undetected forever,' but the thread lives in the Detected Hacks subforum, tipping off the ending before you even read it. A higher-ranked member, KreaT!vE, followed up with virus-scan links warning the tool actually logged keystrokes and modified registry files, and noted the poster was banned. The topic was locked shortly after, a classic fate for sketchy cheat-scene uploads.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!— KreaT!vE

It logs keys and edit's registry files.— KreaT!vE

SynthaHack CSS - the cheat that turned out to be a trojan

Posted a 'VAC proof' CSS hack with 'so many features' — turned out to be a backdoor trojan, locked within hours

A one-post member named ScrubOwns dropped a download link for 'SynthaHack,' a Counter-Strike: Source cheat claiming an aimbot, triggerbot, ESP, and bunnyhop among other features, marketed as 'VAC proof.' Within hours another member reported their firewall and Avast had flagged the file as a backdoor trojan. A staff moderator (SNK) shut the thread down immediately with a one-word close. A classic snapshot of the Detected Hacks subforum: sketchy cheat releases, malware risk, and quick moderation.

Please ban him, this is backdoor.Trojan, my firewall blocked it from connecting. Avast said it was backdoor too. <_<— themuffin243

TuxifieD Announces CS:GO Private Cheat Storefront (cheatsinc.com)

Fkn0wned's owner drops the CS:GO private cheat storefront — 'league proof' and all.

A short site-news announcement from forum owner TuxifieD promoting the launch of a paid 'private' CS:GO cheat tier, sold through an external storefront (cheatsinc.com) with VIP perks tied to purchases there. It's a pure promo post — payment methods listed, purchase instructions given, closed to replies — capturing the commercial side of the site's cheat-selling era. One member, FlareBunny, liked the post before the thread was locked.

As you know the public is out, now its time to do some real damage!!— TuxifieD

If you are ready to own and not have to worry about being detected you better get your ass over to...— TuxifieD

3 Legendary CS:S Material Wallhacks Re-Uploaded (Skippy)

Skippy re-uploads three legendary CS:S wallhacks and the reply-to-unlock spam runs 19 pages deep.

A Materials sub-forum thread in the Counter-Strike: Source section where user Skippy re-hosted three well-known material wallhacks (Freakvisionv3, Project Transparency, and IceKold's 2Frozen2Die) behind the classic 'reply to unlock hidden content' wall. The thread ballooned to 19 pages, mostly one-word 'unhide'/'thnx'-style bumps from members farming access to the download, with a couple of users asking for screenshots of the lesser-known 2Frozen2Die hack. A very ordinary but representative slice of the download-request culture that filled these hack-sharing boards.

Here's three of the best Material Wallhacks out, re-uploaded for you nigguhs.— Skippy

Could you add some sreenies for the 2frozen2die? I wanna see what it looks like ^^— LaatikkoHack

Why are there little to no CoD4 hacks? (Public vs Private Cheat Economics)

A 2008 noob asks why Modern Warfare cheats keep dying — the answer says a lot about the whole cheat-scene economy

A newer member wonders why Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare cheats seem scarce or always outdated, noting that fpscheats charged $99 and asking if a simple no-recoil tool exists anywhere. A more established member, Subgraf, explains the standard scene practice of the era: cheat makers kept a private version for themselves/paying customers while the public release got burned and detected within a week or two. It's a short, low-drama exchange, but a nice little time capsule of how the paid-cheat vs public-cheat cat-and-mouse worked back in the CoD4 days.

That's cause the creators for the hacks,usually, make a private version and a public version. The public version usually gets detected by the next week or two.— Subgraf

Is there anywhere that they have at least a no recoil hack?— mike3667

The 'How Do I Steal This Server' Thread

A member with borrowed admin rights openly asked the forum how to lock the real owner out of his own CS:S server — and got an answer.

In this short Counter-Strike: Source discussion thread, a member named devil32 asked whether admin (ma_rcon) access could be leveraged to seize full control of a server by locking out the actual owner, even offering to hand the hijacked server over to Fkn0wned itself. Another member, DaJayJay, replied casually confirming it was possible and asked to 'have fun with the server' before admin got revoked. The exchange is a small, blunt snapshot of the forum's cheat-scene culture, where server takeovers and admin abuse were discussed openly and matter-of-factly rather than as anything shameful.

I heard its possible to 'Steal' A server using rcon and sv_Cheats. Is it?— devil32

if before he removes ur admin i would like to have fun with the server :)— DaJayJay

[LEAKED] X.V.N Hack - April Fools Trojan Bait

A 'leaked' CoD4 hack dropped on April 1st — and the regulars smelled the trojan instantly.

User Jube posted a supposed leak of the 'X.V.N' Call of Duty 4 hack (aimbot/ESP, claimed undetected by PunkBuster) on April 1st, 2008 — a date that didn't go unnoticed. While one newer member thanked him, longtime poster Exover immediately called it out as another trojan from Jube, and others piled on asking for him to be banned. Jube's account was already marked 'Banned' by the time of these posts, suggesting the thread aged into exactly the kind of cautionary tale it looks like.

Yeah , trojan again from u ... n44b get a life Jube u sux— Exover

someone needs to ban this kid— ph1re

$20 - Phished 'Pubmasters' 6-Digit Steam Account For Sale

A member openly sells a Steam account he admits he phished off someone else — asking price: twenty bucks.

A Seller's Lounge listing where user zEpp offers up a Steam account he says he phished from a member named 'bustacap' back in mid-2008, pricing it at $20 (or $15 if he 'likes you'). The account had zero hours of playtime, a handful of Half-Life/CS games, and a VAC-banned CSS. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the era's account-trading culture, where stolen or phished Steam accounts were casually flipped for cash right alongside legitimate market listings.

A little while back I phished bustacap from pubmasters 6 digit. I still have it and it's got 0hrs of gameplay.— zEpp

I'm asking $20 for it, if I like you I might sell it for $15.— zEpp

[MATERIALS] Colored Models CSS (+ArcticTwist)

A recolored CS:S player-model pack that ran for 15 pages of "thx" and "unhide" posts

This was a Releases-board thread on Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike: Source section, started by admin Malware on behalf of a modder credited as Icekold, sharing a custom-colored player model pack ('Colored Models CSS + ArcticTwist') that gave models bright heads and a red-tinted Arctic Twist torso, marketed as easier to headshot with aimbots. The thread became one of those classic long-running release megathreads, ballooning to 15+ pages mostly filled with one-line 'thx', 'ty', and 'unhide' replies from a rotating cast of low-post-count members trying to unlock the hidden download link. It's a good snapshot of the site's culture at the time — VAC2-proof cheat cosmetics, forced 'reply to unhide' download gating, and the community's give-and-take rhythm around cheat/skin releases circa 2007.

These models are great for Valve Aimbot four because the coloured heads means more head shots.— Amp1 (quoting Malware)

hmm lets test it thx!!— level2

[GUIDE] Counter Strike Guides / Playbooks

sto0ka's mega-bundle of pro-team CS 1.6 strats and playbooks — dead links, reuploads, and the classic 'unhide' chorus.

A 2009 guide thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 Guides subforum where member sto0oka compiled pro-scene team strategies and playbooks (Fnatic, SK-Gaming, NiP, Team 3D, MouseSports, and others), plus an AWP guide, a mouse guide, and a CS:S strat book, all bundled behind a hidden-content download link. The thread follows the typical era format: dozens of low-effort 'thanks'/'unhide' replies to unlock the hidden download, a dead link that had to be reuploaded (160MB), and one skeptical veteran calling out that the content was just recycled stuff sold elsewhere for a dollar. Mostly a low-drama resource thread, notable mainly as a time capsule of competitive CS 1.6 culture and forum download-unlock etiquette.

These are the same things kids try to sell you on keyhunt for a dollar a piece.— vermiLLion

Yeah but link is death , give me some time to reupload— sto0ka

Fkn0wned Hack Policy (VAC Proof Releases)

The fine-print post every hack downloader on Fkn0wned had to read first.

A short pinned-style notice posted by member KZA (aka 'blaze.') laying out Fkn0wned.com's disclaimer for the VAC Proof Releases section of the Counter-Strike 1.6 forum. It explains that the site categorized cheats as VAC2-proof or detected, tried to keep statuses updated, but took no responsibility for bans, framing all downloads as the user's own risk and choice. It's a classic early cheat-scene liability disclaimer rather than a discussion thread, capturing the site's tagline 'We Moderate Your Fun!' and its VAC cat-and-mouse era.

We do not take any responsibility for VAC2 bans.— KZA

You download hacks at your own risk. Your choice to download or not and to use and to not.— KZA

HeadZots v2.4 - Fkn0wned.Com

The classic CS 1.6 'VAC Proof' release thread — patch notes for a hack, circa 2008.

A 2008 release post in the VAC Proof Releases subforum for Counter-Strike 1.6, announcing version 2.4 of a cheat called HeadZots. The post lists usage instructions, claimed anti-detection protections, a credits list crediting several named contributors and outside cheat groups (OGC, mp-hacks.de), and detailed changelogs for the prior v2.3 public release and the new v2.4 fixes. Posted by MessiaH, a high-post-count Co-Manager, it's a snapshot of the era's cheat-scene culture of public 'VAC proof' tool drops with version tracking and community credit-giving.

We Moderate Your Fun!

Fixed crash bug when connecting to a new server (finally)— MessiaH

Super Simple ESP v3.3

A co-manager drops 'Super Simple ESP v3.3' for the whole Half-Life 1 engine — box ESP, toggle keys, and free private builds for IRC idlers.

A release thread in the VAC Proof Releases subforum for a Counter-Strike 1.6 ESP tool, posted by forum co-manager MessiaH. The tool offered X-ray and box ESP with hotkey toggles and claimed compatibility across all HL1-engine games, with HL2 support teased for later. The post is a snapshot of the era's cheat-release culture: version numbering, changelog notes, bug-report requests, an AV false-positive disclaimer, and a plug for the site's IRC channel where private builds were handed out to loyal idlers.

We Moderate Your Fun!

Private Builds Will Be Released Randomly @ #cs1.6 on irc.0v1.org:6667, So Idle And Get Free Privates (To All Idlers)— MessiaH

[myg0t] - IMMA FUCKEN UR SERVERS

myg0t rolls into fkn0wned with a wall of rage screenshots and a challenge to revive the section

A post in the Counter-Strike Rages subforum showcasing images (hosted on ImageShack, since dead links) attributed to the myg0t group, seemingly posted in response to a call from user Uncensor3d for members to contribute rage content and help revitalize the forum's raging scene. Poster 'leopulse' shares a collage and several screenshots as an offering to that request. Typical of the era's cheat-scene culture: trolling servers for reactions and posting proof for forum clout, with an emphasis on rage over blatant hacking.

Guys this section needs to get back on its feet.— Uncensor3d

Your wish is my command.— leopulse

[VAC2PROOF] Super Simple ESP v2.0

A little box-and-X ESP that half of fkn0wned downloaded around New Year's 2008 — until it eventually landed in the 'VAC Detected' graveyard.

This was a Counter-Strike 1.6 Releases thread for 'Super Simple ESP v2.0,' a basic wallhack-style ESP tool (box and X-ray player indicators toggled with F11/F12) originally posted by DCLXVI, credited to author Jimster480. The thread ran long (5+ pages) with a steady stream of new members dropping in around the December 2007 - January 2008 turn of the year, mostly just saying thanks or asking to try it. Notably, the tool's fate is preserved in the archive itself: the same topic later got moved/mirrored into the site's 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum after the site rebranded some sections, meaning the ESP eventually got flagged and detected by Valve Anti-Cheat despite its 'VAC2PROOF' label.

Lemme check it out— HomkaHamster

thankss— SexyTiku

[FkN]Hook v1.0 — later marked VAC Detected

DCLXVI's proud 'first ever hack' release, eventually moved to the graveyard of busted cheats.

This thread was the release post for [FkN]Hook v1.0, a Counter-Strike 1.6 wallhack/no-effects tool put out by forum staffer DCLXVI, who called it his first cheat ever made. It launched in the Releases section marked 'VAC STATUS: UNDETECTED' with a full antivirus scan pasted in for credibility, and racked up several pages of replies over time. By the time this snapshot was archived, the thread had been moved into 'VAC Detected / Not Working,' meaning the tool had since been flagged and killed off, the fate of nearly every release on the board eventually. DCLXVI's own rank climbed across the visible posts, from Forum Addict to Co-Manager to Supervisor, tracking the site's staff churn over time.

My first ever hack!— DCLXVI

[fkn0wned] Steam Hack v12.1 -fixed- release thread

The classic CS 1.6 cheat menu everyone tabbed out of Steam to run — updated, patched, and (for a moment) VAC2-proof.

A release post by longtime moderator SNK in the Undetected Hacks subforum of the Counter-Strike 1.6 board, announcing a patched version (v12.1) of the site's signature 'Steam Hack' cheat for CS 1.6/CZ. The post lists the usual aimbot/ESP/wallhack feature set, claimed anti-cheat compatibility of the day, and basic run instructions typical of these download threads. It's a snapshot of the cheat-scene rhythm this board ran on: constant version bumps chasing whatever anti-cheat update had just landed.

Steam Hack currently VAC2/HLG Proof only— SNK

If your AV detects this as a threat, it is a false positive— SNK

CC Checker for Sale ft. TuxifieD's t0pP8uzz Callback

A member peddled a self-coded credit card checker for $100 in Bitcoin — and the owner name-dropped an old-school scene legend in reply.

A short marketplace listing in the Traders District section where user Mike advertised a PHP-based credit card checker tool he claimed to have coded himself, pricing it at $100 payable in Bitcoin. The sales pitch touted its use of a popular merchant API and that it (unlike most checkers) didn't burn the cards being checked. Forum owner TuxifieD replied with a nostalgic aside referencing another member, t0pP8uzz, who reportedly profited well from similar tools in the past. The thread itself is brief — just the listing and one reply — typical of the fast, transactional carding/fraud-tool trade that ran through this section of the forum.

Selling a Credit Card Checker coded in PHP that I made myself not too long ago.— Mike

t0pP8uzz used to make good money with these— TuxifieD

What game do you play the most?

1,097 votes later: CS 1.6 barely edges out CSS in the poll that decided what fkn0wned would even bother supporting.

An admin poll from April 2008 asking the fkn0wned community which game they played most, framed as market research for deciding what titles the site's cheat database should support. CS 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source dominated the vote almost evenly (38.29% vs 37.10%), dwarfing WoW, CoD4, BF2 and a handful of other era-appropriate titles. The thread ran three pages as members weighed in with their picks and reasons, giving a snapshot of the CS-heavy identity of the forum's userbase.

I am interested to know what the most popular games are regarding the people that visit fkn0wned. Please vote and reply with your reason.— iydsicydt

May 30th Steam Update - Assume All Hacks Detected

Steam pushes an update and the whole cheat scene goes dark overnight.

A staff announcement warning members that a Steam update on May 30th (2007) had likely broken or flagged existing cheats, urging everyone to treat all current hacks as detected until proven otherwise. Posted by founding/retired staff member c0ke in the News + Updates section, this is a classic snapshot of the cat-and-mouse rhythm that defined cheat-scene forums of the era — every VAC update meant a scramble of paranoia, waiting, and rumor until someone confirmed what was safe again.

Assume all hacks are detected— c0ke

The One-Week CS:S VIP Hack Promo (2007)

One week only, do not miss out — Fkn0wned's big CS:S VIP hack launch hype thread.

A News + Updates announcement from founding/staff member c0ke hyping a limited-time VIP release of a Counter-Strike: Source hack, framed as a one-week-only offer. Posted in April 2007, it reflects the site's era as an active cheat-distribution community with its own VIP tier, points system, and IRC channel. The thread ran at least three pages, suggesting decent member engagement and buzz around the release.

ONE WEEK ONLY! DO NOT MISS OUT!— c0ke

TuxifieD Plugs Source Industries VIP Hack for the Deception Network

The CEO himself drops by just to plug the VIP cheat store — subtle as a brick.

A short promotional post in the CS:S General subforum, made by site founder TuxifieD, advertising VIP access to Source Industries as an 'undetected' private CSS hack. The post doubles as a plug for supporting the wider Deception Network that Fkn0wned was part of. Light on discussion, heavy on marketing — a snapshot of how these early cheat-scene forums monetized through affiliated 'VIP' cheat sites.

sign up for VIP today!!! It supports the entire Deception Network which includes Fkn0wned— TuxifieD

Im gona leak a VIP hack soon...

A member openly plots to rip off a VIP cheat, relabel it as his own, and dump it on the forum for clout.

In this Battlefield: 2142 thread, user xJumper announces he's won (or expects to win) temporary VIP access at another cheat site through a glitch-submission contest, and plans to steal the VIP-exclusive hack, disguise it with edited code, and slap his own name on it before posting it to Fkn0wned. It's a small, blunt post capturing the era's casual cheat-piracy culture and cross-site rivalry. A staff member (PaRaNoID) replies, though the response itself is cut off in the archive. Notably, xJumper's account is tagged 'Banned' at the time of archiving.

Il rip the hack off their site and open it up with adobe script tool and say made by xJumper change a bit of code and all so if they ever find out they cant say I copyed it— xJumper

zEpp's Steam Account Store!

8-digit accounts, $2 a pop, buy-one-get-one deals — and a customer waiting a month for his L4D2 key

A Market Place storefront thread where longtime member zEpp sold 'VAC clean' Steam accounts in bulk tiers by digit-length (8-digit, 7-digit, 6-digit), running sales and price drops as stock moved, and claiming over 500 accounts sold since 2006. Buyers chimed in with thanks and bumps, but at least one customer (Mystery121) publicly complained about a month-long wait for a promised L4D2 account, taking a jab at staffer Tux's handling of it. A moderator (PopTart) stepped in briefly to referee some deleted drama and greenlight the shop reopening.

Number of accounts sold since 2006: 518— zEpp

hes passwords are teh sex thanks man <3— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

lalala, still waiting for my l4d2 .. 1 month now... Tux, bad decision.— Mystery121

Afteryou's JTAG Xbox 360 Shop

The forum's resident 'GoD of Porn' was selling pre-jtagged 360s straight out of the Market Place — but could you even go online with one anymore?

A Market Place listing from longtime member Afteryou advertising modified (JTAG'd) Xbox 360 consoles for sale, complete with photos. The thread quickly turns into a back-and-forth about whether jtagged consoles could still get online safely after a Live update, with skeptics citing friends who got banned and vouchers insisting Afteryou was legit and that workarounds existed. Classic early-2010s console-modding marketplace energy, with community vets like vermiLLion and xXHeistXx stepping in to defend the seller's reputation.

Afteryou is legit. I have played online with him in modded lobbies that he has made using one of these xbox's.— vermiLLion

im pretty sure my friend isnt dumb and knows what the kv is... he mad alot of money and still got fucked over.— cixxa

Your Jtagged Xbox will be banned within 4-6 hours after going online with it even if you don't use the Jtag features.— xXHeistXx

Andr3zit0's Shop [Trusted] — Steam Account Marketplace Thread

The go-to Steam account dealer of Fkn0wned's Market Place, moving CS:S, TF2, and MW2-loaded accounts for as little as $6 a pop.

This was a long-running vendor thread in the Fkn0wned Market Place where member andr3zit0 listed bundles of Steam accounts (loaded with everything from Half-Life and Counter-Strike to Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2) plus the occasional CD key, updating stock every few days with prices, 'account value' estimates, and colorful BBCode formatting. Buyers negotiated deals over MSN rather than in-thread, and several regulars, including a site Smod, vouched for smooth trades, earning the shop its '[Trusted]' tag. It's a solid snapshot of the era's gray-market Steam account trading scene that thrived on gaming forums before Steam locked things down harder.

vouch for this guy!! smooth trade. I went first. Bought 6 accounts =)— Niceboy233

legit, i went first. bought CSS account from him. -Thanks :)— PopTart

gifted me games , traded for Cod1/2/4/5/BF2 Key. Recomended :D— hitmanre

Selling WoW Account 135OBO

A VIP member auctioned off his epic-geared WoW account for $135 OBO — and got dragged into a T9 gear argument instead

A VIP member named iluvnic posted a Market Place listing selling a Battle.net World of Warcraft account (a Blood Elf Priest) decked out in epic healing/DPS gear, gold, mounts and titles, asking $135 OBO via PayPal. The thread devolved into lowball bids, suspicion from other members about whether the account was phished/keylogged, and a lengthy, increasingly heated off-topic argument between members Agility and NoNamE! about the fastest way to farm Tier 9 gear in-game. It's a good little time capsule of the era's account-trading culture and forum bickering, complete with 100-post trading rules and PayPal 'no chargebacks' disclaimers.

can i ask do you own the account or if you keylogged/phish how long have you had it— sh00t3r_360

are you fucking retarded man? GET THE BADGES OF TRIUMPH OK.— Agility

oh, i'm sorry baby i didn't know that :(— NoNamE!

Custom Steam Phisher Program -- Coming Soon

A member sells pre-orders on a custom Steam credential-stealing kit, complete with 'first 5 copies for $5' hype and a keylogger stretch goal.

In the Market Place, user 1up advertised a custom-coded Steam phishing kit (with an admin panel, crypter, and binder/cloner add-ons) that he was reselling for a coder friend, pricing early copies at $5 and later units at $10-15. The thread ran for a few days with 1up posting incremental 'update' teasers -- adding a keylogger, an email bomber, a nicer GUI -- while other members hyped it up, joked around, and asked to be added to the discount list. It's a pretty typical slice of the forum's cheat/malware marketplace culture: casual sales pitch, screenshots, MSN contact info, and a chorus of regulars cheering it on.

This is a must get for steam stealers out there, plus i get it for free cos he loves me long time— hoOkz

icanhazfree? <3— lam3r

4 more spots left for first people to get it for 5 bucks— 1up

Steams ~ 7/8 Digits ~ L4D/L4D2/CSS/1.6 (darkblood24's sale thread)

Steam accounts sold like penny candy — 'lower rep first, higher last,' PayPal gift only, replacements guaranteed if 'retrieved.'

A Market Place listing from darkblood24 offering old low-digit Steam accounts (7 and 8-digit) bundled with games like L4D, L4D2, CS/CSS, and Half-Life, priced $5-$10 with a 24-hour replacement guarantee. The thread quietly hints at the account-farming economy of the era — buyers negotiated over MSN/Xfire, and reputation order mattered more than trust. A couple of replies followed: one buyer couldn't reach the seller, and longtime member f0wh (Retired and Respected, one of the forum's old guard) flagged that one of the listed accounts looked freshly phished, right after L4D2's launch — a small but telling moment of community skepticism amid the account trading.

Lower rep first, higher last— darkblood24

I think it's recently phished though, as l4d2 were just released.— f0wh

[SOURCE] FkNCrypter 0.21 Source Code — inSpired's for-sale thread

inSpired put the FkNCrypter source code up for $100 — and the comment section immediately started haggling over whether it was even worth it.

A December 2009 Market Place listing where [FkN] Security Crew member inSpired auctioned off the VB6 source code for FkNCrypter 0.21, explaining he was moving on to build a new online crypter from scratch. The thread drew a handful of regulars debating detection status, price, and whether paying for crypter source was worth it versus grabbing one free elsewhere. Founder TuxifieD chimed in approvingly, while others like conTagious and linkkrw pushed back on the value proposition — a classic slice of the era's cheat/crypter marketplace haggling.

That's right, the FkNCrypter 0.21 source-code is for sale!— inSpired

yeah, who's gonna pay for a source code that isnt UD when you can get those of any trojan programming board for free.— conTagious

For $100,- i expect something more.. Crypter stays maybe 1 to 2 months FUD and than it will be UD etc.— linkkrw

Phished Steam Account Fire Sale

A guy sold off a stack of admittedly phished Steam accounts for a buck or two apiece, and nobody blinked.

In the Market Place section of Fkn0wned.com, member RossCopland listed a batch of Steam accounts (loaded with CS:S, Half-Life, Garry's Mod, Portal, etc.) for sale at rock-bottom prices, openly disclosing upfront that the accounts were phished. Staff/crew member Hatred! quickly stepped in to insist sellers must disclose phished status so buyers don't get scammed out of their money. Several members haggled over prices and claimed specific numbered accounts, with at least one sale confirmed and the thread trailing off into low-effort replies and account requests. It's a small, blunt snapshot of the era's account-trading marketplace, where stolen accounts were bought and sold semi-openly under a thin veneer of forum rules.

FYI THESE ACCOUNTS ARE PHISHED— RossCopland

You must say if these accounts are phished so people dont buy and end up getting there accounts and money taken from them— Hatred!

1$ ==> account 1 css , fear 2, garrys mod, hl2 ?? o*O— PMN

SourceIndustries VIP Bugs and a Phishing Scam Riding on the Fkn0wned Name

VIP paid, no email, no access — was SourceIndustries broken or was someone phishing the phishers?

A member named Chit flagged that SourceIndustries.net, Fkn0wned's associated VIP/hack storefront, appeared online but wasn't actually processing subscriptions or sending confirmation emails. Site owner TuxifieD acknowledged a bug in the VIP mod and asked for details to fix it. The thread took a turn when another member posted a suspicious promotional email (complete with over-the-top claims about undetected hacks and cheap resellable Steam accounts) that longtime member sammo called out as a likely phishing scam riding on the SI name.

fuck wtf is wrong with my vip mod, ok send me some info please and ill try to fix it up asap.— TuxifieD

That email got from the one at yahoo, that seems like a phishing scam so don't reply, it seems not real.— sammo

No More Hacks/Cheats as of now...

A Steam/CS 1.6 update wiped out every working cheat overnight — and the whole thread is just people staring at the wreckage.

A September 2007 thread in the CS 1.6 General board where a member (duckfood) laments that a recent game patch broke all the hacks he was using, asking if anyone had a working alternative. Other regulars chime in with short, resigned reactions rather than solutions — nostalgia for older tools, confirmation that another popular option was down, and general griping about the update. It's a small snapshot of the constant cat-and-mouse between game patches and the cheat scene at the time.

So after the patch I havent been able to find one hack that is working. All my favorites are down the drain.— duckfood

I hope there'll be a SSW2.8. I miss it.— AddiKT1ve

Neferty is down.— TheLoneMan

New WC3FT VAC-Secured Server Advertised — Gets Roasted Instantly

One-post wonder advertises a legit VAC-secured server to a cheat forum... and immediately gets told it's about to get wrecked.

A brand-new member with a single post ever made ('1 Post Wonder') dropped an ad for a friend's 24/7 WC3/AMXX VAC-secured Counter-Strike 1.6 server, explicitly asking cheaters to stay away. Regulars quickly pointed out the irony of advertising a VAC-protected server on a hack community, joking about raiding/ruining it, with one member lamenting it wasn't a Source server so he could 'shaft' it after class. Classic low-stakes server-ad thread that turned into some good-natured ragging typical of the board's culture.

NOW LETS RAGE THIS CUNT! Seriously, telling a hack community about a legit server? Bad idea. Joo gonna get raped.— AcidViper

If it was source I would rape this server so hard!— banak

Shit, pity its 1.6 not source or i would shaft this server when i get home from college at 2 oclock.— McLovin!

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

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
