The 'Steam Brute Forcer' That Was Actually Just a Trojan
User hypes a 'working' Steam account cracker — mods run it through a virus scanner and it lights up like a Christmas tree.
A user by the name of biohazard13 posted claiming to have a fixed, functional version of a long-dead Steam account brute-forcing tool, complete with a screenshot of the old tool's interface. Regulars immediately called out the missing download link, and once a link was posted, moderator PopTart ran it through a multi-engine virus scan that flagged it as a password-stealing trojan/downloader across dozens of antivirus engines. The thread was swiftly closed and locked, and the poster's account was later banned — a pretty typical fate for this kind of 'tool' post on the Programming board.
Ok Its the same general idea as all the other shitty brute forcers that no longer work But a few simple bugs are fixed and wallah, it works fine— biohazard13
theres no download link...— TuxifieD
Closed for scanning h/o— PopTart
$50 Botnet-for-Hire Request Devolves Into 'Unhide' Spam
A guy offered $50 to have someone build him a personal DDoS tool — and the thread mostly turned into people yelling 'unhide' at a hidden link.
In this 2008 Programming subforum thread, user tumuskle asked for help acquiring or building a botnet to knock a specific person's home IP offline, offering $50 for assistance. A few members suggested learning VB6 to roll your own, and one regular, IrishAsh, dropped a hidden link to DDoS-related resources that quickly became the real draw of the thread — dozens of later replies are just members posting 'unhide' to reveal the spoilered content rather than discussing the original request. It's a good snapshot of the era's casual attitude toward DDoS tools and MSN-worm spreading as a topic of open forum discussion.
i'm trying to get ahold of a good botnet to personally ddos someones personal net..NOT a site, but their actual IP - paying someone 50$ USD for help setting one up.— tumuskle
Just a little tip when you make it, make it spread through MSN . That shit spreads fast.— 10010
fkn unhide my dick.— MillerLite
[Tool]Bunny Hopper - psilwb's 2009 CSS Bhop Tool Thread
A reposted bunnyhop tool sparks a scan warning, a scam callout, and a wall of one-word 'unhide' replies
In September 2009, member psilwb posted a bunny-hop tool for Counter-Strike: Source to the Scripts/Tools subforum, admitting upfront it wasn't his own work. The thread quickly filled with low-effort replies from members trying to unlock the hidden download, alongside a virus-scan check from Lukeyyy, a scam accusation from OutLawz, and a notable callout from DarkSoulSwiper identifying the file as a repackaged 'Kartoffel Hack' with a warning that some versions had gotten users VAC banned. It's a classic snapshot of the era's hide-content-to-unlock download culture and casual disregard for tool provenance or safety.
So its not made by me!— psilwb
DO NOT DOWNLOAD YET SCAN IN PROGRESS— Lukeyyy
Nvm... this is kartoffel hack off his site >_> prob wont get you vacced but be warned some KH got vacced D:— DarkSoulSwiper
[Tool] CSS 'Flooder' Turns Out to Be a Fake Reboot .bat
A 'flooder tool' with 6 posts and a hidden .bat file that just rebooted your PC — nobody was fooled twice.
A low-post-count member named Sasha16 posted a supposed Counter-Strike: Source flooder tool, prompting immediate skepticism from regulars who noted the poster's thin post history and joined in mocking the offering. One member (Tr3Nx) actually looked inside the tool's batch file and found it just triggered a system reboot, publicly warning others not to run it. The rest of the thread is classic forum filler — 'unhide' requests, 'is this safe?' questions, and people asking to see the tool despite the warning, with a password-locked download adding to the suspicion.
Whats up with all these low posters, posting stuff for people to run. LOL Look whats in the hack.bat file... I would NEVER run anything from this guy.— Tr3Nx
theres a password on it...— deadlyruler
Use at own risk— a-lusion
[Tool] CSS BunnyHop hack by Chipper
New guy drops a 'clean' bunnyhop tool with a RapidShare link — the forum immediately smells a rat
A brand-new member named Chipper posted a CSS bunnyhop tool with a YouTube preview and a RapidShare download, insisting antivirus flags were a 'false positive.' Regulars and VIPs were instantly skeptical, with one member moving the thread and warning others to beware, while several longtimers openly called it obvious malware. It fizzles out as a cautionary case study rather than a trusted tool release.
this is so obviously infected..— Speedo
Anyone that downloads this beware !— Hatred!
whoever uses this must be stupid— a-lusion
Undetected Combat Arms Public Hack Release
A coder drops his Combat Arms cheat on Fkn0wned almost as an afterthought — 'forgot to release it here'
In August 2008, member s0beit (credited alongside tim0n under the 'tgs' tag) cross-posted a public cheat for the free-to-play shooter Combat Arms, originally released on thisgamesux.net, to Fkn0wned's Other Games section. The post advertised the usual grab-bag of era-typical features (wallhacks, chams, movement exploits) and asked posters to keep discussion on-topic rather than trash the game. Replies were low-key and friendly — members thanking him for the release, one asking about anticompatibility with anti-cheat, giving a glimpse of the casual, help-each-other vibe of the forum's 'Other Games' crowd outside the usual CS:S/CS 1.6 focus.
i forgot to release it here, i haven't been here in a while and maybe some one will appreciate this here— s0beit
does combat arms have any sort of anti cheat?— thesource
sweet, thanks, was looking for some combat arms hacks a few weeks ago— thajuggalo
F.E.A.R hacks written by Botoxx
One guy shares a sketchy F.E.A.R cheat link, and half the thread just shows up to say 'unhide'
A member named Botoxx posted a link to a third-party site hosting F.E.A.R cheats, along with virus-scan links to reassure people the files weren't infected, in the 'Other Games' section of the PC Gaming board. The thread quickly devolved into the classic forum-era ritual of dozens of low-effort replies — 'ty', 'unhide', 'sweet thx' — from members hoping to unlock the hidden download link. It's a small, mundane but very characteristic snapshot of how cheat-sharing threads worked on fkn0wned: one poster with the goods, a swarm of members grinding out replies for access.
hahaha lets see how long i can burn the admin until he kicks me XD— jcomp6
Unhide Fear Haxzorz for free?!?!?— hEndr!x

How to Check if VAC Updates
A member shares a trick for spotting VAC updates before your hack gets flagged — and the thread turns into a live watch for Valve's next move.
In late September 2008, user natin1337 posted a tool/method for checking whether Valve Anti-Cheat had recently updated, aimed at hackers wanting to know when their tools might be at risk of detection. The thread drew the usual mix of thanks, skepticism, and jokes, with regular Nova questioning whether the tool actually worked since it kept showing a stale July 2008 date. The topic got shuffled into Rebel Gaming, and a few days later natin1337 returned to confirm VAC had in fact just updated, closing the loop with a sarcastic warning not to cheat.
VAC sucks bawlz trust me— natin1337
Then how are any of our hacks detected? :V— Nova
VAC updated today everyone dont hack :D— natin1337
THE ULTRA STEAM PATCHER
300+ free Steam games, one dubious 'patch,' and a thread full of people asking if it actually works
In April 2008, member silentrun3r posted a tool claiming to unlock over 300 Steam games for free, complete with a disclaimer insisting (unconvincingly) that it was virus-free and a plea for someone else to verify that. Replies were the usual mix of hopeful 'unhide' posts to unlock the hidden content, a few users reporting the games showed as owned but wouldn't install, and the OP cross-promoting his own thread about playing Counter-Strike: Source online without Steam. It's a classic early cheat-scene snapshot: shaky trust, no real proof, and a community more excited by the promise of free games than skeptical of the source.
Would you like over 300+ steam games for free well you have come to the right place.— silentrun3r
i can ashore you 100% this does not contain a virus don't take my word for it scan it yourself— silentrun3r

CS 1.6 Account Trade Turns Into a Scam Callout
Guy with $10.81 and no credit card just wanted a cheap CS 1.6 account — got scammed instead.
A low-post member named petermin94 posted in the Steam Account Trades subforum looking to buy a low-numbered Steam CS 1.6 account for around $10, since he lacked a credit card to buy games directly. Another user pointed out he could've just used PayPal on Steam, which made the whole trade attempt look unnecessary. Shortly after, a different member (milkrulz04) claimed he got scammed during the exchange, with the thread eventually marked closed by staff for scamming. It's a small but classic snapshot of the account-trading risk culture on the site.
im really eager for an account !— petermin94
you do know that you can buy games off of steam with paypal??— jacal
omfg he scammed me omfg he gave me his paypal when i was about to send he changed pass wtff.— milkrulz04
2 Massive Steam Accounts - Trade Thread
A seven-digit Steam account, a shady no-middleman trade, and a guy who tried to recover it afterward
A 2007 trading post from thesource offering two loaded Steam accounts (one with a coveted seven-digit ID) in exchange for forum points, PayPal cash, or fully-unlocked Battlefield 2 / BF2142 accounts. Fellow trader dshizzle negotiated a swap, initially insisted on a middleman, then went ahead without one anyway and reported it as a good trade. Things got briefly tense when dshizzle accused thesource of trying to reclaim the traded account under a bogus 'hacked' excuse, but it was smoothed over as a misunderstanding, and thesource eventually sold the remaining account off-forum and asked for the thread to be locked.
MIDDLEMAN=USED— thesource
After bickerign and moaning about no middleman we finally traded without one. This guy is legit.— dshizzle
dude friggin is trying to recover the account. He cant be trusted— dshizzle
Steam Account Scam Slapfight: The '$80 for Every Valve Game' Thread
A member selling a Steam account 'with every game Valve ever made' set off a fake-or-not slapfight over 80 bucks.
MiZZun0 posted a Steam account for sale claiming it had every game Steam offered, priced at $80 OBO, citing 'friends who work at game stores' as the source and citing an impending move to college as his reason for selling. Poppins immediately called it fake, suspecting a Steam ripper/PacSteam-style scam, sparking a back-and-forth flame war that other members (ohmybiscuits) stepped in to cool down by vouching for the seller's post count and recommending a middleman. black_hatter negotiated the price down to $65 and moved to finalize contact info off-thread, with a mod (Malware) chiming in with standard middleman-trade advice. Weeks later, banned member thesource resurfaced the thread just to declare it fake, claiming it was made with a known account-generation tool that couldn't legitimately hold Valve's internal test apps.
if you don't wanna buy it then fuck off...this is for people who want to buy it— MiZZun0
I THINK THIS IS A FAKE...IF YOU WANT TO GET RIPED OFF BE MY GUESS!— Poppins
This is FAKE btw its used with Fr33steam or somtin like that cus no1 can buy valve test apps LMAO— thesource
Runescape Millions Guide
A 'guaranteed gold' Runescape guide that half the thread swore was a keylogger in disguise
A December 2007 thread in the Tutorials section of the Red Light District where a member posted a supposed money-making method for Runescape, claiming to have made 300k before quitting the game. Most replies were just 'unhide' posts chasing the hidden content, but suspicion quickly grew that the downloadable file was actually a keylogger rather than a real guide, sparking a back-and-forth about the .exe extension and a staff member confirming they'd scanned it themselves. It's a classic snapshot of the era's forum culture: low-effort bumps for hidden links, casual paranoia about malware, and off-topic jokes derailing a mundane gaming tutorial thread.
I'm alost certan that's a keylogger. ... Because to be honest, guides don't usually consist as a .exe file. Nice try?— Guru_Danny
No, youre fucking retarded, I downloaded it and its an EXE, I scanned it, but it doesnt seem to be a virus.— HaSh

Steps of using Vac_2_Disabler_v3
A noob asks how to load his CS:S cheat, gets scolded to 'think for yourself' — then everyone just complains about lag anyway.
A 2006 thread from Fkn0wned's General Discussion where new member tonylam asks basic setup questions about combining a no-recoil hack with the 'Vac_2_Disabler_v3' loader for Counter-Strike: Source. Forum regular Malware answers gruffly but helpfully, clarifying which file gets renamed, while other members chime in about the setup causing major FPS drops and lag from a memory leak. It's a classic slice of mid-2000s cheat-scene culture: impatient veterans, clueless newcomers, and cheats that half-worked at the cost of your framerate.
Ok, please you need to start thinkin gfor yourself.— Malware
or another option play another game till a vac 2 proof cheat comes out— sickums
i change name of taz file to dll hehe and run hack but i have very big lag when i use it very biggg— tribond
Is Phishing Gonna Be Extinct Any Time Soon?
A 2009 forum debate asks if Steam phishing is dying out — spoiler: nobody thought so
A short General Discussion thread from December 2009 where forum regular NIX asked whether phishing (specifically Steam account phishing, common in the cheat/gaming scene at the time) was on its way out. Members weighed in with a mix of cynicism and casual admissions of past involvement, generally agreeing phishing would just evolve rather than disappear as long as there were 'dumb people' to fall for it. The thread is brief but captures the casual, matter-of-fact attitude toward account theft and scene 'phishing' culture typical of the era.
aslong as there are dumb people, there will be phising. so No it will not be extinct any time soon.— conTagious
ppl doesnt fall for the steam phish anymore :sad:— kubaxplx
I used to phish. I still was able to get peoples steams. But I don't do it anymore— 20Matt08
Taunting a "Steam Administrator"
A wannabe Steam phisher gets played by his own mark, live, in painfully bad grammar.
User MicroUltra posted a chat log of himself stringing along someone posing as an 'Automated IP Support' Steam admin trying to phish his account, feeding fake passwords and mocking the scammer's poor grammar and typos in real time. The thread quickly turned into the community dogpiling on the would-be scammer, with regulars picking apart his broken English ('r' for 'are', 'ur' for 'your') and general incompetence. A few posters suggested MicroUltra should have turned the tables and scammed the scammer's own account back, referencing a known account-recovery tactic from another user, br0kenrabbit. The tone throughout is mocking and gleeful, treating the failed scam attempt as free comedy rather than a real threat.
so fucking stupid, that 'steam' person is a fucking idiotic moron, seriously, a '0' for an 'o' and talks like a fucking 10 yr old just learning to type— ballistic
What I find pretty dumb, is that he didnt use proper grammar from the beginning when he was able to do it on command. like wtf... fail— kanetheheatsink
You should scammer's steam account. Do what br0kenrabbit did or whatever his name was.— orangespwnz
Bought BF2, Got Banned Instantly — Stolen CD Key Confession Thread
Bought Battlefield 2, got banned from 9 out of 10 servers on day one — turns out the CD key had a shady past.
A member named n00bz0r shows up confused and angry after getting global-banned almost immediately upon buying and installing Battlefield 2 with the Project Reality mod. Other members quickly clue him in that his CD key was likely stolen or resold before he ever got it, leading to a brief flare-up when he misreads a question about his key as someone trying to scam him. The thread wraps up with a regular casually admitting he used to lift CD keys from store boxes and flip them on eBay, a very of-its-era, very on-brand admission for this community.
Ya. I am really going to give you my cd key, fuck off moron.— n00bz0r
he's probably hinting at the fact that the CD-key that you bought had been used before, which means you've been cheated.— Peski-Ruski
yee ive stolen a cd key for bf2 out of a box in target before also gotten around 3 WOW cd keys... Sold em on ebay strate away so then its not my problem— retarded_elephant69
Portable Non-Steam CS 1.6 Release with Cracked Servers
247mb of cracked CS 1.6 nostalgia, complete with 2400 dead servers and a fanbase asking if the wallhack still worked
A release thread in the Red Light District > Games section where member l3m0nz shared a repackaged, no-Steam-required build of Counter-Strike 1.6, bundled with a huge list of cracked servers and modded weapon models. The post included mirror links, an update log, and even a YouTube install tutorial made by another member. Replies were short and appreciative, with a couple of members casually asking about pairing it with hacks — pretty typical for the era and the board it lived in.
thx man <3 and your wallhack is the bomb too— mircomania92
and do the hacks work on this version to.— artemis
ty <3— Bradders
[NEW] Newest Engines/.CT's/Hacks/Tutorials (Maple Story)
The old MapleStory hack round-up thread: godmode, dupes, bots, and a wall of 'told by' credits.
A compilation thread posted by .Smurf in the Maple Story subforum, rounding up various cheat engines, CT files, hack packs, and bots circulating for MapleStory in early 2008, along with informal notes on which hacks were working, which got auto-banned, and which caused disconnects. The thread reads like a community-maintained status list, crediting various members for reporting on each hack's reliability. Replies are mostly short bumps, thank-yous, and requests for help after getting banned or kicked for detected hacks — typical low-effort cheat-scene chatter of the era.
i only need the engine ^^ tnx— zezark
problem man...I can't get in to the maple story it says hacks detected and kicked me out how do i get in?? i try everything doesn't work..— Kitty2008
gogo god mode thx!— Tightnme
HLGuard-Proof Auto Pistol Script
A long-running thread in the CS 1.6 Scripting board where user Christ posted a config/bind script for an 'auto pistol' effect claimed to evade the HLGuard anti-cheat detection system, with a tweak (swap a character string) to keep it undetected. The thread stretched across several pages over roughly eight months (Sept 2007 to May 2008), mostly filled with newer members hiding/unhiding the code, saying thanks, and asking basic questions about what the script actually did. It's a pretty typical snapshot of the era's script-sharing culture — low effort but high traffic, with plenty of noob-tier bumps and no real drama, just steady demand for a working auto-pistol trick.
The reason I would prefer mine over that one would be because I can control mine on how much I shoot of the pistol and rifle. And it's HLGuard Proof!— Christ
cool - wounder if it works with css— Zeton
whats auto pistol do :$— watdar123
Wraith LiTe v1.3 Beta - Fkn0wned.Com
The script kiddie who outed his own alt account trying to hype his own CS:S script
A CS:S scripting thread from late 2007/early 2008 where member TactiCs_n0skill (posting under Post #1) released 'Wraith LiTe v1.3 Beta,' a bind-script bundle offering buy scripts, spam-buy binds, cosmetic prop tweaks, and speed/spin gimmicks tied to sv_cheats. The thread is mostly technical Q&A about keybinds and server requirements, until a minor identity mix-up surfaces: another member accuses the poster of ripping off 'inferno_scripts,' and it's revealed TactiCs_n0skill and Inferno_Scripts were the same person using two accounts, one being an old account originally made just to download hacks. Low-key drama, very of-its-era CS:S scripting culture, ends with a stray non-sequitur reply.
Is this script detected? It Isn't detected, and will never be.— TactiCs_n0skill
Tactics_noskil ? Why are u making on inferno_scripts script ? :s— Kimovich
Tactics_n0skill was my original account so i could download hacks, then i started scripting and decided to change my name to inferno— Inferno_Scripts
Burst & Single Shot Scripts
A CS:S scripting thread where the replies were 99% 'thanks' and 'unhide' — a perfect time capsule of forum culture, 2007 style.
Posted in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripting subforum in June 2007, this thread saw member -Still Life- share a set of custom scripts for single-shot and 2/3-round burst fire. It quickly ballooned into a long, low-content chain of 'thanks', 'ty', and repeated pleas to 'unhide' the hidden script content, spanning six pages. It's a snapshot of the classic forum-scripting scene where useful posts got buried under a wall of gratitude replies chasing hidden content.
Well, after reading some shit i decided to make a few scripts that deal with burst fire. So here they are. Enjoi kiddies.— -Still Life-
unhide where do i do this?— sponger909
Sucks. Unhide.— The Moose
Wrath Lite v2.1 [MeGa Version] — Inferno_Scripts' CS:S Script Pack
Anti-aim, matrix shots, and a numpad menu — the CS:S script release that kept the 'unhide' spam going for months
Inferno_Scripts dropped an updated version of their 'Wrath Lite' Counter-Strike: Source config/script pack, adding burst-fire, a numpad-activated menu, and cosmetic tweaks like metallic weapons and a no-sky option. The thread ran from November 2007 into March 2008 and became a magnet for one-line 'thanks'/'unhide' replies typical of scene release threads, with a handful of users asking basic questions (does it use an exe? what's anti-aim?) and one poster flagging that the buy menu was broken. It's a solid snapshot of the era's script-sharing culture — low-effort HL2 engine 'cheats' built entirely from config files, hosted and credited within the Fkn0wned community.
sv_cheats bypass + this = 0wn343— Zeton
THIS IS THE BEST SCRIPT OUT THERE. Theres only ONE tiny problem. THE BUY MENU DOES NOT WORK— -Darkness-
Time to hax0rz. Thx again.— anthrax_hax
BlackOut HTTP botnet sales thread — TuxifieD's Verified Seller vouch for NoTolerance
A verified seller's malware storefront, complete with vouches, price drops, and a shifting PayPal policy nobody could keep track of.
This was a Top Sellers District listing from seller NoTolerance advertising a malware/botnet toolkit called BlackOut HTTP, updated over several months with new versions, discounts, and panel updates. The thread doubled as an ongoing storefront, with payment terms flip-flopping between BTC-only and 'trusted PayPal' several times, and a terms-of-service list warning buyers against wasting the seller's time. Forum owner TuxifieD personally vouched for NoTolerance, upgrading him to Verified Seller status, which was treated as a notable stamp of legitimacy in the marketplace culture of the board.
PRICES LOWERED!!!— NoTolerance
Notolerance is now a verified seller and I will be doing personal vouchs for his products.— TuxifieD
Big Vouch for my friend, i bought this bot and it works like a charm.— CataclysmTM
Dark Evolution 2009 v3.1 — the CS:S cheat that got VAC2 detected
A German-made CS:S multihack from 2009, posted by f0wh, that racked up 11 pages of 'unhide' before VAC caught up with it.
This was a Counter-Strike: Source cheat release thread from January 2009, posted by longtime member f0wh in the Detected Hacks archive. The tool, 'Dark Evolution 2009 v3.1' credited to a coder called TroniX, bundled the usual era-appropriate wallhack/aimbot/ESP feature set and eventually got flagged and moved to the graveyard of VAC-detected releases. The replies are the classic low-effort hype train of the time — one-word 'unhide' posts, thanks, and speculation about whether it'd work on Vista — showing how these release threads functioned mostly as content-unlock rituals rather than real discussion.
The Hack is so big (2,85 mb) because there are some pics inside which was very big.— f0wh
better work on vista— E13m3n7
unhide :D— kaimokai
Immunity Duo 3 - CS 1.6/CSS Cheat Release (Later Marked VAC2 Detected)
The 'never gets detected' ring0 cheat that... eventually got detected.
A cheat release thread in the Detected Hacks archive for a kernel-mode ('ring0') ESP hack called Immunity Duo 3, originally posted by f0wh claiming it would never be flagged by VAC2. The thread quickly filled with the classic wave of one-word 'unhide'/'ty' replies as members scrambled to unlock the hidden download, plus a few skeptics reporting it didn't work and one member noting it was normally a paid release on a rival site (darkcheats). True to the board's naming, the thread now lives under Detected Hacks, undercutting the original claim of invincibility against VAC2.
This should be NEVER detected by VAC2, therefore you dont need to worry about any VAC2 updates.— f0wh
Not the first time I see something is supposed to be NEVER detected . Anyways, I'll try this one, give you my opinion later. Edit => Dosen't work for me.— Stone?
thanks alot, isnt this a hack darkcheats makes you pay for?— cordesman
The Orange Box Release Day Thread
Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and TF2 land in one box — and the forum immediately starts asking about PC hacks for it
A casual October 2007 thread where members compared notes on picking up Valve's newly-released Orange Box compilation across PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 (the latter delayed until December). Talk ranged from Gamestop pre-order bonuses to quick reviews of Portal and Episode 2, with a Team Fortress 2 tangent about console vs PC play. True to the forum's cheat-scene identity, the thread closes with mention that TF2 hacks were already circulating, though their VAC-safety was uncertain.
PS3 version doesnt come out until December lool— hunterbrute224
Will get it for PC when hacks start coming out.— hienrick
there already are hacks for it lol there is coconut but its vac status is vac unknow so i wouldnt recomdend— thesource
VAC 2.5 Update — CSS Moving to Orange Box Engine
The Orange Box migration was coming for CSS's LUA scripts — and this thread panicked about it in real time back in 2010
Started by drplobble in June 2010, this thread discusses the then-upcoming Counter-Strike: Source beta that would move the game onto the Orange Box engine, bringing with it a VAC update expected to kill off LUA scripts and other clientside loaders. Members debated whether this would end existing cheats or just spur new ones, while side-conversations covered achievements, bhop/surf removal, and whether the update counted as a 'VAC update' at all. A bit of good-natured bickering breaks out over terminology, and the thread ends with a member lamenting the potential loss of surf maps as a popular CSS staple.
At first i was like :| but then i was like :( wtf no lua— ap3x
were fucked— PonG
Removing surfing, one of the most popular CSS types of maps. That's just plain dumb.— linh6496
Aimbot for TF2, when?
TF2 barely had its boots on before someone was already asking 'where's the aimbot?'
A brand-new member (15 posts to their name) pops into the freshly-launched Team Fortress 2 subforum in October 2007 asking when the first TF2 aimbot would drop. mr.N0Nam3 chimes in with a guess of a week to a month and later confirms TF2 hacks are already in development. It's a tiny, three-post thread, but it captures the exact moment cheat communities like fkn0wned were pivoting attention to Valve's just-released class-based shooter.
Do you have any thoughts when will be released first TF2 aimbot?— hrhr
probably a week to a month, but i will post them h...— mr.N0Nam3
there are now tf2 hacks in the making— mr.N0Nam3
myg0t Spam Pack - Sound Rage Pack Release
260+ rage sounds in one 632MB pack — the myg0t-flavored soundboard that annoyed a generation of CS servers
A member named hunterbrute224 released a large compilation of 'rage' sounds (audio clips used to spam and annoy players on Counter-Strike servers), styled after the infamous myg0t crew's aesthetic. The thread mixes praise, mild suspicion over the poster's low post count, and comparisons to a similar (smaller) pack previously posted by another member, anarchie65. It ends with a late bump asking for a re-upload after the original file host link died — a common fate for early file-sharing links from this era.
hmmm a user with only 2 posts..... looks suspicous— percentskills
It is just a Spam pack I put together of LOADS of sounds I found— hunterbrute224
wow lol there are really lots! thx man!— anarchie65
AFK in a DM Server: a long-running rage/aimbot-suspicion clip thread
A deathmatch server clip so absurd it kept getting bumped for months
This is the tail end of a long-running Counter-Strike Rages thread built around a clip or story titled 'afk in a dm server,' likely showcasing some kind of ridiculous or suspicious in-game moment (references to being 'AFK' yet still racking up kills hint at aimbot accusations, a classic rage-thread trope). The thread trickled on for months, from late 2007 into early 2008, mostly collecting one-liner reactions rather than real discussion. One member jokingly asked for 'the hack,' underscoring the community's cheat-scene undertone even in a joke thread.
Holy Shit Jaska Give me the Hack plz— aKari
lol nice u must be aimbotting in da serva— FpsZachFighter
this is crazy yo— TALKisCHEAP
Man this sucks... (VAC banned)
Newbie gets VAC2 banned trusting a 'safe' cheat, forum shrugs: 'once you're banned, that's that'
A new member, BallzDeep24, posts that he got Steam banned after using cheats advertised as 'VAC2 secured' for Counter-Strike: Source, singling out the popular 'Royal Hack' as the likely culprit. Regulars pile in with the classic mix of blame-shifting and mockery — someone plugs their own 'updated' cheat, others note Royal Hack had actually been flagged as detected for weeks or months, and one member bluntly tells him bans are permanent. It's a small, quintessential slice of the cheat-scene forum experience: a cautionary tale thread with no sympathy and a side of self-promotion.
once your banned, thats that. there is no going back. Sorry...— madcow
Royal hack has been detected for awhile.— Jawl
If thats the case then why dont you guys take the VAC2 proof sign off the hacks?!?!? Your setting us up for failure— BallzDeep24
purposly getting banned! (Dec 2007)
One member's confession: he hacked for months just to see how long it would take VAC2 to catch him — and bragged about it on MySpace.
A member calling himself |-noodle-| recounts running Holzed 1.2 on an old CS:S account for nearly three months out of boredom with the game, racking up individual bans from 25+ servers before getting caught. He then admits to hijacking a friend's account, briefly trying to 'stay clean,' and quickly relapsing into using ESP, no-recoil, and anti-aim rather than a full aimbot. The tone is boastful and self-mocking, capturing the era's casual attitude toward VAC evasion and forum cheat culture. A couple of replies question why anyone would deliberately get banned, but the thread stays short and low-drama.
so i hack....hack hack hackity hack hack hack.— |-noodle-|
SUFFER FUCKERS!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!— |-noodle-|

One VAC ban later, a member outs the cheat everyone was quietly running
A member named Unirosss posts a warning that using a cheat called 'Black puplic 1.2' got them VAC banned, urging others to stop downloading it. A handful of regulars chime in with reactions ranging from disbelief to resignation, a moderator promises to log it in the detection report section, and one poster mentions moving on to a program called HackVision instead. It's a small but very of-its-era 'detected' thread — the kind of public-service post that quietly rippled through the cheat scene at the time.
Yep i have just got banned for the use of Black puplic 1.2 so just a diea stop use it.. i am vac banned over all now and have to get a new acc. but what the hell.. it was fun..— Unirosss
Aweh, Fuck! I love Black 1.2— Fringo
I'll post it in the detection report section and it will be updated, thanks for alerting.— rnie
Nova's Crackhouse Material Wallhack
See through every wall on cs_crackhouse — courtesy of the forum's resident 'Material Overlord'
A release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Materials subforum where user Nova, holding the rank 'Material Overlord,' dropped a texture-based wallhack tuned for the map cs_crackhouse in September 2008. It followed the classic hidden-content format requiring a reply to unlock the download, and quickly filled with seven pages of one-line 'thanks/unhide' replies stretching from late 2008 into 2009, typical of the forum's cheat-sharing culture. A moderator (alexthemegaman) filed it into the Material Hacks section and gave props for the work.
This material hack is 100% undetectable, and always will be.— Nova
LOL those should be some fun walls, can shoot through anything >:)— |Matthew|
unhide, Thanks bro! Been looking for this for awhile!— crazycrazycrazy
JaVhaX 1.3: the slow death of a CS:S cheat release thread
30 pages deep into a CS:S cheat release, and the replies had shrunk to one-word verdicts — 'kl', 'looks cool', 'DETECTED! DO NOT USE!'
This is the final page of a long-running (30-page) release thread for a Counter-Strike: Source cheat called JaVhaX 1.3, posted in the forum's 'VAC Proof Releases' section. By this point the thread had devolved into low-effort bumps from mostly brand-new, low-post-count members — thanks, requests for help getting it to run, and at least one blunt warning that the tool had been detected by VAC and shouldn't be used. It's a snapshot of the tail-end lifecycle of a cheat release: initial hype long gone, now just stragglers finding the thread late and one user flagging it as burned.
DETECTED! DO NOT USE!— howeasy
Umm I can't get this to work. I run it and it comes up but when I start CS:S Nothing is there.— superdood

How to Steal Steam Accounts (2007 phishing one-upmanship)
A noob's clumsy phishing 'idea' gets torn apart and one-upped by a slicker social-engineering script in the same breath.
Posted in the Steam Client subforum in December 2007, a new member calling himself Henry/wtfstfu69 shared a crude scheme for tricking people into handing over Steam accounts via fake YouTube hype videos. It was quickly mocked as amateurish, and another member ('x3.'/Cheat Support) posted a far more elaborate fake-Valve-support impersonation script, complete with scripted dialogue, which drew praise from several members despite one poster's disclaimer that it was shared 'for education' and not actually endorsed. The thread is a small, dated snapshot of era-appropriate Steam account theft folklore and forum one-upmanship.
Your method is wank; Here we go— x3.
u make it seem so professional lol— adam-buster
shit man you're fuckin awesome! I really hope this works looks so not made by a noob— lragnarok11
Hamachi Ban Bypass Trick Sparks Keylogger Suspicion
A 2-post newbie drops a Hamachi 'ban bypass' trick — and the veterans immediately smell a keylogger
A brand-new member with only two posts shared a simple method for reconnecting to VAC/server-banned games using Hamachi, claiming full credit for the 'discovery.' The regulars were instantly skeptical, questioning why a low-post-count account would post something like this and debating whether it even worked, with one member flatly saying it didn't after trying it. The thread turned into a mini lesson in forum trust culture, with veterans citing post count as a proxy for credibility and referencing malware-scanning habits (Jotti, VirusTotal) before touching random downloads.
no problem for keylogger to get lousy 20 posts.. But its your call— banak
I never trust things from people with less then 20 posts, safest this way.— rnie
Well when I tried this, with the NEWEST Legit version of hamachi, it worked perfect... with a banned account... your loss if you don't try— Reflector
sXe Injected marked VAC/anti-cheat detected — the slow necro-bump decay of a CS 1.6 support thread
A years-long thread flagging sXe Injected as busted — with an Argentinian member begging the scene to write a disabler for it
This is the tail end of a long-running thread in Fkn0wned's 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum tracking sXe Injected, a well-known third-party anti-cheat, and marking it as detected/dead. Most of the late posts are low-effort bumps ('thx', 'k', 'asdf') from low-post-count members years after the original post, typical of a thread that got necro'd repeatedly as people searched for the topic. One notable moment: a Spanish-speaking member (ramones93) clarifies that sXe Injected is actually an anti-cheat, not a cheat, and pleads for someone in the community to develop a disabler for it before it spreads worldwide. The thread spans from at least late 2006 into November 2007, capturing the slow decay of a once-active support thread into filler replies.
sxe injected is an argentinian anti-cheat and in the moment there are not publics cheats who can disabler its ... I wish someone from here could make a disabler from sxe injected. it is so succesful that soon it going to be in all the world so be preparing for it and make a cheat— ramones93
IT IS NOT A CHEAT IT IS AN ANTI CHEAT— ramones93
wow cant you read its detected lol— Afteryou
Private Wallhack Request Spirals into Account-Trading Scam Accusations
A guy wanted a 'private' wallhack, got told cheats can't stay private, then things turned into an account-for-hack swap and a scam accusation.
In the German-language 'Deutsche Hacks' subforum, lotus1337 posted a request for a private, undetectable wallhack, offering RapidShare/ESL premium in trade. Other members (aKari, strang0r) mocked the idea that private wallhacks even exist and pivoted the conversation toward trading unbanned Steam/CS:S accounts for hacks instead — with strang0r openly describing wanting account credentials handed over as payment. Regular albert90 ('Cd-Key Dealer of u'r hood') and others chimed in with jokes about their forum debut posts, and later member Sekte advertised a long feature list of a CS:S cheat (no-flash, wallhack, speedhack, bypasses, etc.) in exchange for an unbanned account, only to be accused by strang0r of being an unreliable scammer — a spat that spilled into mutual accusations. Classic mid-2000s cheat-scene bravado, account-trading sketchiness, and forum in-jokes all in one thread.
es gibt keine Private Wallhacks, denk ma logisch nach was bringt es ein Private Wallhack zu haben wenn man hier ein Downloaden kann— aKari
UNSERIS! Ich wrd ihm nich vertrauen, wr auch nich das erste Mal, dass er versucht zu scammen...— strang0r
Ich versuche zu scammen? Was bildest du dir eigentlich ein?— Sekte
UNDETECTED Call of Duty 4 MULTIHACK! (the fake that wasn't)
A brand-new '1 post wonder' drops a 'best hack ever' claim — and gets torn apart in six replies flat.
A freshly registered account hyped an 'undetected' CoD4 multihack with a big feature list and a suspiciously specific 235-killstreak claim. Suspicion kicked in almost immediately: another new account vouched it was 'clean,' but longtime members called out the pattern of throwaway accounts, and one poster ran it through VirusTotal and confirmed it was malware. The thread closes with someone pointing out the screenshots weren't even from the same hack, cementing it as a bust.
smells like a virus from a 1 post wonder o wait thats my fart lol but can som1 scan it? im not too sure of it— RecoileZ
It's a fucking virus, I just scanned it. Don't fall for this bullshit.— SuperRare
not to mention the two screenshots are from different hacks.— redtailb
[Script] 100% Working! Crash a CSS Server (Fcukzor's DLL method)
The classic 'drop these two DLLs in your CS:S folder and watch servers die' thread — replies mostly just say 'unhide.'
Member Fcukzor posted a follow-up to a previous (patched) server-crashing method for Counter-Strike: Source, this time using a couple of DLL files dropped into the game folder to knock servers offline. The thread got a steady trickle of replies over a couple days — mostly one-word 'unhide'/'ty'/'nice' posts hunting for the hidden download link, plus a few users worrying aloud about VAC bans and whether it exposed their SteamID. A [FkN] Crew member chimes in questioning why not just use an existing 'css server crasher' tool, and Fcukzor explains this DIY approach dodges server-side protections those tools trigger.
The other "crash script" I posted got fixed. I'm sorry. Well here is a new way to crash servers— Fcukzor
ahh .dll might get you vac banned, so try this on account that you love.— nedsucks
hmm not a bad aproach but why don't u just use a css server crasher xD— NIX
[Tool] Bunny Hop Hotkey - jab2000's bhop script
A simple spacebar-spamming exe promised effortless CS:S bunny hopping — and instantly split the thread into 'totally safe' vs 'you'll get VAC banned'
jab2000, a prolific poster in the Scripts/Tools subforum, shared a small standalone executable that rapidly repeated spacebar presses to automate bunny hopping in Counter-Strike: Source (and reportedly Team Fortress 2), claiming it was undetectable since it didn't inject into the game. The reply chain is classic era-appropriate forum churn: dozens of one-word 'unhide'/'thx'/'show' replies to unlock the hidden download link, mixed with a genuine safety debate over whether an external .exe hotkey tool could trigger a VAC ban. jab2000 pushed back hard on the ban warnings, defending a year of clean use, while other members reported the tool simply not working for them.
100% Undetectable, and always will be. It does not inject into the game— jab2000
BUT you WILL get VAC banned for using this. It is an .exe file and will therefore be injected into your game— kabechtoldt
I BEEN USING THIS FOR A ABOUT A YEAR NOW NO VAC BAN.... IT DON'T inject into the game its a fucking microkey/hotkey— jab2000
"THE ONE AND ONLY GOOD BHOP SCRIPT" - classic overhyped CS:S bhop script thread
A guy swears he's found the ultimate bunnyhop script — the replies immediately prove otherwise.
In the Scripting subforum, member Damian9000z posted a hyped-up bunnyhop autoscript for Counter-Strike: Source, hidden behind a spoiler tag with over-the-top claims that it was undetectable and better than manual bhopping. The thread quickly filled with the classic low-effort 'unhide'/'ty'/'show' replies typical of hidden-content threads, plus at least one user complaining it just made them jump uncontrollably. Damian9000z fired back defensively, insisting the problem was the user's own lack of bhop skill and timing, not the script. It's a small, dated snapshot of the CS:S scripting/cheat-adjacent culture of the forum, long on bravado and short on actual results.
This is THE BEST, nothing is better, stop looking you have succeeded on your mission in finding the best of the best.— Damian9000z
In game , it just makes me jump over and over. And i cant stop. Its uncontrolably jumping.. Thats stupid.— Bulle7
If you cant do it, find a cliff, and get high as fuck.— Damian9000z
Wraith LiTe v1.2 — the Counter-Strike: Source config-script release thread
A CSS 'cheat' script released as a plain .cfg, a keylogger prank threat, and a 'so this is bannable, right?' Q&A for the ages.
TactiCs_n0skill posted a beta release of his 'Wraith LiTe' script pack for Counter-Strike: Source, listing a grab-bag of script-based tricks (anti-aim, auto-crouch/spin combos, colored props, no-smoke, a prop-removing wallhack, a panic key, and a speed toggle) hosted on a 4shared link with contact via email. The thread has the classic mid-2000s cheat-forum banter: fellow member Botoxx jokingly threatens a fake VirusTotal scan and jabs about hiding a keylogger in a .jpg, which TactiCs_n0skill brushes off with a deadpan threat of his own. Other members (qwerty54, jattforlife) ask the eternal questions of the scene — is it undetectable, does it need sv_cheats — while the OP teases an upcoming v1.3 with buy/buyspam scripts. Small, low-drama, very of-its-era thread capturing the script-kiddie config culture of the Source engine cheat scene circa late 2007.
untill the day I die, yes.— TactiCs_n0skill
send me it and ill kill u— TactiCs_n0skill
I cant really give your comp a virus with a .cfg— TactiCs_n0skill
Currently working Private server hacks/bugs/exploits (ionide's WPE thread)
A 5-post noob drops a WPE hack thread — and the veterans immediately smell a rat
A brand-new member, ionide, posted a 2008 thread in the MMORPG's section sharing supposed private-server exploits, later adding a link to a WPE packet editor tool. The thread quickly turned into a low-post-count credibility fight, with established members like slingblade openly distrusting the download and demanding a virus scan before anyone would touch it, while others just farmed the 'unhide' reply-to-view content. It's a classic slice of the era's private-server/cheat-scene culture: exploit sharing, WPE editors, post-count gatekeeping, and casual paranoia about bundled viruses.
from ur only 5 posts ima assume its fake— slingblade
how stupid do you think people are?— slingblade
I've got 6 posts now... now will you please change your mind and take advantage of my contributionz?!— ionide
MapleStory v80 Trainer 'Rod'
A packed MapleStory v80 cheat trainer gets dropped, complete with 'MorphGodMode' that turns you into a girl.
In the MMORPG's subforum, member piratemilk reposted (crediting another site, not claiming authorship) a MapleStory v80 trainer called 'Rod' with an extensive feature list covering autoattack, autoloot, auto-potting, godmode variants, anti-detect movement tricks, packet sending, and botting tips for evading anti-cheat detection. The post has the classic era-appropriate cheat-sharing format: a VirusTotal scan link, a hidden download, and a screenshot for reference. It's a snapshot of the site's Black Market/cheat culture and the MapleStory botting scene circa late 2009.
This doesn't work with Win7, if anyone has vista, tell me if it works!— piratemilk
1. start Maplestory. 2. Inject dll. 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!!1!— piratemilk
MorphGodMode, turns you into a girl....You can loot but can't attack— piratemilk
Chronic ESP 1.0 Release — Later Flagged VAC2 Detected
A CSS ESP teaser dropped by a site Supervisor — later marked VAC2 detected, but the thread lives on as a snapshot of the release ritual.
This was a Releases-board thread in Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike: Source section where forum staffer PaRaNoID posted 'Chronic ESP 1.0', a public ESP teaser hack credited to belink and Reneg4d3, complete with feature list, credits to various scene names, and a multi-engine virus scan showing a clean bill of health at release time. The thread title was later edited to flag the tool as VAC2 detected/unknown, reflecting the constant cat-and-mouse between cheat releases and Valve's anti-cheat. Replies are the typical release-thread rhythm: quick thanks, a member re-running a virus scan for reassurance, and casual 'will try sometime' comments. It's a small, ordinary-looking thread, but tagged as a marked casualty of the VAC2 detection wave that defined the site's release culture.
Is tonnight release day? I'll scan— kevel
Goodjob, will try sometime.— Rebelz
thanks alot for this!— eminem0029
[MATERIALS] Trick Sprays
A guy named Rainy dropped some transparent scale-perfect decoy sprays, and half the forum showed up just to say "unhide"
A September 2007 release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Releases section where user Rainy (posting as Marc347) shared a pack of transparent, to-scale 'trick sprays' designed to work as visual decoys in-game. The thread exploded into a wall of one-word replies — mostly people saying 'unhide', 'thanks', or 'ty' to bump the topic and reveal hidden download content, a classic ritual of that era's cheat/mod forums. Little actual discussion happened beyond a few genuine compliments on the spray quality, with one user (thesource) offering a moving CT spray in return, and a brief aside explaining what 'unhide' even meant to a confused newcomer.
These are all perfect decoys. The sprays are transparent, and they are to scale.— Rainy
what does unhide mean?— mafiaboy379
LOL, I have been looking for these :X— Reneg4d3
HeadZots V2.1: the VAC2-proof CS 1.6 aimbot that ended up VAC Detected
The cheat that promised VAC2-proof headshots... ended up filed under 'VAC Detected / Not Working'.
This was the tail end of a long release thread for 'HeadZots', a CS 1.6 aimbot/ESP package originally posted by 'rnie' and credited to author ko1N, packed with the usual mid-2000s feature list (silent aim, box/health/hit ESP, wallhacks, bunnyhop, etc.) and a clean multi-AV scan to reassure downloaders. By the time this page was archived the thread had been filed in the 'VAC Detected / Not Working' subforum, meaning the community had since flagged it as no longer safe. The replies are mostly low-post-count newer members ('Noob' rank) bumping the thread, asking if it still works, or just saying thanks — a pretty typical late-life cheat thread full of curious lurkers rather than real discussion.
More feedback guy's does this work....— SeraphimGabriel
looking forward to it— ocrage
AS ALWAYS: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!— rnie
