Overtake RCON from Servers Mega-Thread

A 28-page tutorial thread that took over servers and half the forum's attention for months.

A sprawling, long-running tutorial thread on Gametration.com (later archived under Fkn0wned.com) titled 'Overtake RCON from Servers,' originally posted by DCLXVI (aka Cheesus) in May 2007 with a download, tutorial, and screenshots for taking control of Counter-Strike server RCON. The thread ballooned to 28+ pages over many months, with hundreds of members dropping in just to say thanks, ask if it still worked, or brag about pranking server admins by messing with settings like lighting guns on fire. It's a classic artifact of the 'cheat scene' hype-thread era: low signal-to-noise, mostly one-word replies and 'unhide' requests, but a genuine community touchstone that people kept bumping and quoting for months.

These were all configured by me for fkn0wned.— DCLXVI

Let's test these bad boys out. Edit: The rcon password never changes. The only thing I got working was exec fkn_gunsfire or whatever lit the guns on fire. Funny to see their reactions— bobbafett07

nK Hack 5.9 Released (Recoded by Jimster480)

The July 2007 CS 1.6 cheat drop that turned into a credits war and a virus-scare thread for the next month straight

This is the official 2007 release thread for 'nK Hack' v5.9, a Counter-Strike 1.6 multi-feature cheat posted by forum figure c0ke with a long credits list crediting the Fkn0wned crew and coder Jimster480. The thread quickly spiraled beyond the release itself into a messy back-and-forth over who actually deserved credit for the code (accusations of ripping from other cheat groups like OGC), plus dozens of replies over the following weeks with users reporting bugs, asking for settings help, and worrying about viruses and VAC bans. It's a pretty representative snapshot of the site's cheat-release culture — equal parts hype, tech support, and scene drama.

whats ripped nigger. Ill be able to code CSS hacks...— Jimster480

nk hack = 90% ogc u faggot— hexernetwork

This is VAC2 PROOF. Try reading the post next time...— DCLXVI

The Dictionary: A Glossary of CS Raging Slang

Ever wonder what a 'forced teaparty' or getting 'HBAR'd' actually meant? Here's the OG glossary.

A member named Phantom laid out a glossary of Counter-Strike raging slang for the forum's Raging and Advertising section — terms like teaparty, TK, lolman, raged, crashed, and HBAR, explaining the culture of deliberately annoying other players in-game through spam, teamkilling, voice annoys, and light cheat use. It's less a thread and more a reference post, capturing the community's own homegrown vocabulary for its favorite pastime: griefing servers for laughs. Fellow members Dragon and Rockforce got shoutouts for contributing terms.

Rage - the act of entering a server in hopes to annoy fellow players, raging includes but is not limited to : spamming, teaparties, excessive hacking, voice annoys— Phantom

HBAR - Hacked beyond all recognition : when a server is empty due to rage and new players join not knowing their fate.— Rockforce

Smokebreak - the state in which Kane requires a cigarette.— Phantom

VAC Detected Hacks Report: The Casualty List (CS:S)

The community-run VAC 'body count' list — page after page of once-untouchable cheats getting crossed off as banned.

This is the tail end of a long-running community-maintained tracking thread in the CS:Source VAC Proof Releases subforum, where members logged which cheats had been flagged as 'Detected' by Valve Anti-Cheat versus still 'Unknown.' By late 2007/early 2008 the mood had shifted from bragging to caution, with several posters reporting they'd gotten VAC banned testing various releases and warning others off specific hacks like JAvHAX, HackVision, and Fkn0wned's own Simplicity tool. The thread doubles as an informal casualty report and a running obituary for the site's own in-house 'FkN' cheat releases as Valve's detection caught up with them.

I used different account for each hack to test if they were detectable or not. In the end, all the accounts I used to hack are VAC Banned. Hope you guys enjoy banned too— blink_friend

yeah...time to update the vac2 proof page— maer

Fkn0wned Simplicity got me banned— Firefighter

The VAC2 Bypasser Thread (Later Marked [NOTWORKING])

The tool half the forum thanked c0ke for — before it stopped working and half the forum got banned.

A long-running thread on Gametration.com / Fkn0wned.com's Steam Client subforum where founding member c0ke (Member No. 1) posted a tool claiming to block or bypass Valve's VAC2 anti-cheat system. The thread ran at least 11 pages of replies, mostly quick 'thanks'/'unhide' posts from members trying it out, before eventually being retagged [NOTWORKING] in the title. Later replies show users reporting bans and warning others the tool was now flagged as detectable, capturing the classic cat-and-mouse cycle of cheat-scene tool releases going stale. The page also preserves the site's rebrand mid-thread from Gametration.com to Fkn0wned.com, with matching nav/breadcrumb changes.

THIS DOES NOT LET YOU PLAY ON A VAC2 BANNED ACCOUNT. IT ONLY BYPASSES AND STOPS VAC2 ON AN UNBANNED ACCOUNT SO YOU DO NOT GET BANNED.— c0ke

Dont use this enless you are VAC banned this hack is VAC2 DETECTORZED Use at your own risk...— thesource

dosent' work.. Inject into steam.exe with the game running, try to join a server in cosole/find servers results : "this account as been banned.— andr3zit0

FREE PRIVATE HACK's! (the classic ZoaQ bait thread)

A 17-page troll thread where the 'free hack' was just a lecture on why free hacks are scams — and everyone begged to unhide it anyway.

ZoaQ posted a hidden-content trap in the Counter-Strike: Source discussion board, ostensibly offering a 'free private hack' but actually using the forum's reply-to-unlock mechanic to bait members into revealing themselves as the type of person who downloads sketchy 'free' cheats and generators. The thread exploded to 17 pages, mostly filled with members demanding 'unhide' or 'unhide plz' without realizing they'd been had. A handful of regulars caught on quickly and mocked the ones falling for it, giving the thread a classic forum-troll energy typical of the era's cheat scene.

LURED!!— DvS

i lul at the dumbasses who dl them :D— CandleJack

He is right alot of people download those shit eg. Premiuim RapidShare account generator.— Qassim811

Fkn0wned.com CSS Public Hack v1 — Official Release Thread

The day pikachu dropped a 'VAC proof' Counter-Strike: Source cheat and the whole crew showed up to co-sign it

This is the official release thread for a Counter-Strike: Source cheat ('Fkn0wned.com CSS Public Hack v1') coded by forum member pikachu, posted June 2010 in the Minor Updates section. The post lists the tool's aimbot/ESP/extras feature set, a download link, MD5 hash, and a virus-scan link, framed as a proud community contribution rather than a random leak. Replies are mostly congratulations, '+rep', and testing confirmations from regulars, plus some in-jokes about promoting it on rival sites while keeping the fkn0wned name out of it, and pikachu getting recognized with a 'Coder' group tag for the release. It's a snapshot of the site's cheat-development culture and the small, familiar cast of members who ran and populated it.

Tested, works well +rep— Blackfathom

Congrats on Fkn Coder.— Pestilence

Now go post it on other sites guys :P, i wouldnt use the fkn0wned.com download link tho, most sites have our name censored hahaha— TuxifieD

CS 1.6 Hack Released! - V.I.P. Fkn0wned.Com

The launch announcement for fkn0wned's flagship CS 1.6 VIP hack — one-time fee, and one guy's ESEA ban to prove it worked (or that he was bad at hiding it).

This is the original News-board announcement from site founder sYntax debuting fkn0wned.com's first VIP product: a paid Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat pitched as VAC2 and ESEA proof, sold as a one-time $50 purchase rather than a subscription. The replies are classic early-VIP-shop hype — members cheering the sales pitch and promising to buy in — until a user claims he got banned from ESEA after one scrim using it, sparking a short back-and-forth about whether the hack failed or he just got careless. It's a small but telling snapshot of the site's business model and community tone in its earliest days (Feb 2007, member numbers still in single/double digits).

This hack is also ESEA proof which means you will not get caught using it in CAL or any other leagues.— sYntax

Cheating is not tolerated in ESEA servers. this a spam i get banned from ESEA 4 only 1 scrim by use ur hack— mattqq

well the hack work in esea and cal r did this kid just did not try to hide it and got baned???— notlikethat

nK Hack 5.8 Release Thread

The 'best public hack in a long time' drops — and the reply section instantly floods with noobs begging for download links.

This is an archived announcement thread from Fkn0wned.com's News and Announcements board, where user sYntax released version 5.8 of the site's long-running 'nK' Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat, framed as a rebranded/re-vac'd continuation of a hack originally from Source Industries under the shared 'Deception Network' umbrella. The post lists an extensive feature set typical of era cheats (aimbot, wallhack, ESP, radar, speedhack, etc.) and credits several contributors and the core Fkn0wned crew. The replies are the classic mid-2000s cheat-forum pile-on: one-line praise, a couple of technical hiccups (injection failures), a warning about VAC bans, and multiple brand-new one-post accounts begging for private access or download help.

This hack has been semi-private for a while so I thought I might as well release it.— sYntax

don't use it when you rae not sure if it is proof except you wanna getr VAC BANNED my friend..— LoRd Ragealot

wrynx Hacks kellyclarkson.com, Redirects Traffic to fkn0wned

wrynx found a way into kellyclarkson.com and the whole forum egged him on to deface it — then bragged about crashing the site's traffic instead

In this 'Raging' board thread from November 2009, member wrynx teased having some kind of access to kellyclarkson.com and asked if he should mess with it. A chorus of regulars (thejah, TuxifieD, fridsade, Kimmi, lulraep, PopTart) egged him on with peer pressure and suggestions to brand it with fkn0wned, while Photofinish was the lone voice of restraint calling it morally wrong. wrynx ultimately pivoted to boasting that he'd used the access to redirect traffic to the forum itself, spiking active users from 187 to 518 in ten minutes — a stat PopTart cited as an all-time online record. The thread got gravedug over a month later in January 2010 by reflexez, drawing a scolding from S3RK and smod Kimmi for necroposting.

Should I?— wrynx

u cant defac tht site i want to see u try(peer pressure)— thejah

I just added an iframe to some rockband site and this forum went from 187 active user(s) to 518 active user(s) in 10min...— wrynx

f0wh's VAC-Proof CS 1.6 Hackpack

The legendary 17-page cheat drop that promised VAC couldn't touch it

In October 2009, veteran uploader f0wh posted a bundled collection of Counter-Strike 1.6 cheats in the Undetected Hacks subforum, pitching it as 'fully VAC-proof and virus-free' with a lengthy disclaimer explaining VAC detection quirks and false-positive antivirus flags. The thread exploded into a classic hidden-content leech fest, running 17 pages of members posting 'unhide'/'ty' just to unlock the download link, with mods and long-time regulars mixing in gratitude and jokes. It's a solid snapshot of the site's cheat-sharing culture and the community banter that surrounded it, right down to a nervous newbie asking if he'd get banned using it on a VAC-secured server.

Fully VAC-Proof and virusfree.— f0wh

If you wanna donate to me, then you've misunderstood the whole reason behind "Free Cheats" and can basically go have buttsecks with animals in your local zoo or forest.— f0wh

If we use this on a VAC2 Secure Server, will we get vacced?— Ownageman1

TCHook v1.2.1 Release — Shifty's VAC2 Undetected CS 1.6 Cheat

The site founder himself drops a 'VAC2 Undetected' CS 1.6 cheat — and someone in the replies swears their name got changed to a public confession

Founder member Shifty posted the v1.2.1 update of TCHook, a Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat tool billed as undetected by VAC2, listing features like a wallhack, anti-recoil, wireframe mode and a menu, with credits going to the site's coders and staff. Replies are mostly quick thanks and CS:S players asking to be included in future releases, but one newbie reports their in-game name mysteriously changed to something like 'Ive_been_HACKING.I_got_caught' and asks for help, hinting at anti-cheat consequences. A coder also chimes in to note this was actually the official v1.2 release, pointing to a PM for clarification.

my name when I'm playing got changed to Ive_been_HACKING.I_got_caught and I can't change it back— pinkcrayons

You are neglecting us css people— Mr.Shitz

This is actually the official v1.2 mate. Check PM.— x3uk

ICE}'s Everything Explained: The MapleStory Cheating Bible

A 2006 megathread where a Database Admin laid out the entire MapleStory cheat scene lexicon — dEMI, dEM VAC, Dupex, godmode, and all — in one glorious wall of text.

Started by forum admin ICE} in the Maple Story sub-board, this thread is a sprawling 'getting started' tutorial covering the terminology and tool ecosystem of the mid-2000s MapleStory cheating scene: various cheat-engine forks, GameGuard bypass tools, botting software, and the folklore behind named exploits like dEMI, dEM VAC, Item VAC, Dupex, and dREAPER, several credited (rightly or wrongly) to scene names like dLICIOUS, Exidus, and KittenKicker. The tone is equal parts instructional guide and scene history lesson, with ICE} correcting community misconceptions about who actually created what. It closes with a member reply that captures the everyday confusion of newer forum users trying to parse all the jargon.

holy shit man. thats alot of stuff to read lol. so its for maplestory but says vac? i dont get it. does vac also protect maplestory?— darkmagi1509

If you wish to actually learn something about the game, this tutorial is not for you. If you just want to hack, get a high level and showoff to your friends, then this is a great tutorial.— ICE}

ap3x's $20 iStealer Log-Collection Job Posting

An admin openly hires forum members to build malware droppers for cash — filled within four days.

In the Black Market subforum, [FkN] Admin ap3x posted a paid gig looking for someone experienced with iStealer and crypting to generate stolen-data logs on his behalf, offering $20 for the first batch and another $20 once a higher log count was hit, payable only via PayPal after work was completed. A few members haggled over crypter requirements and expressed interest, including lam3r, NIX, and ColdHer0, but ap3x closed the thread within days after the position was filled. The exchange is a small, matter-of-fact snapshot of the forum's black-market culture, where staff and regulars openly brokered shady freelance work.

I'm too lazy to do this myself and I don't really have a Windows computer to do this myself either so I'm enlisting you to get logs for me.— ap3x

I have a crypter + stealer all FUD but I'm to damn lazy to do anything xD— NIX

Sorry, the position's already been filled. /closed— ap3x

demonicxkid12's Steam Account Store (saving up for SAT books)

A user sells a stack of Steam accounts to fund his SAT prep books — 2010s internet in one thread.

A Market Place listing where user demonicxkid12 offered several Steam/CS accounts for sale via PayPal, openly noting they were 'stolen, but had for over a week,' with prices ranging from $2-$6. The thread is a small time-capsule of the forum's account-trading culture, complete with scam-avoidance rules, VAC-clean claims, and the classic disclaimer language buyers had to paste into PayPal notes. One reply from adriandvinsk shows a buyer following up over MSN/PM. The 'gotta pay for SAT books' aside gives it an oddly wholesome, very-2009 teenager vibe.

gotta pay for SAT books :O— demonicxkid12

accounts are stolen, but had for over a week— demonicxkid12

add me on msn, i sent in pm =]— adriandvinsk

[C] CS:S Hack Sources by w0lf

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

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

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

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

nice post w0lf, gonna pin it— irishash

SNK's Super Script Pack for Counter-Strike: Source

The bhop/autofire script bundle that had half the CS:S subforum begging to 'unhide'

A [FkN] moderator known as SNK posted a bundled CS:S script pack combining bunnyhop, autofire, burstfire, crosshair customization, and Half-Life DJ support, hosted on Rapidshare with the classic reply-to-unlock hidden content trick. The thread quickly filled with the forum's signature one-word 'thanks'/'unhide' replies from a mix of regular members, VIPs, security crew, and even banned users still posting. It's a small but perfect time capsule of the era's script-sharing culture, download-limit gripes, and forum camaraderie.

You rock my world babe. Thanks. ;)— ap3x

thx m8 i will most def be dling this when i get home from work. also, why not get on vent tonight so we can talk about setting up a mirror for your downloads— kasper5150

unhideeeeeee— wxx

A Noob's First Look at Minecraft, December 2009

A forum noob spots Minecraft in December 2009 and immediately starts musing about hacking it

A brand-new member named Meuze posts about stumbling across a then-obscure block-building game called Minecraft, linking to minecraft.net and noting how little anti-cheat protection it seemed to have. He mentions tinkering with some hacks himself but doubts they'll amount to much, and throws out an open challenge to anyone else interested. The thread is a single lonely post with no replies, a tiny time capsule from when Minecraft was still a niche curiosity rather than a phenomenon.

A game with little anti-hack...— Meuze

I am sure it wont be hard for people to make hacks for this.— Meuze

Anyone up for the channlenge?— Meuze

The VAC/VAC2 & Hacking Information (Sticky FAQ by f0wh)

The pinned 'read this before you get banned' thread every fkn0wned cheater eventually ran into.

A locked, informational sticky posted by longtime member f0wh explaining how Valve's VAC and VAC2 anti-cheat systems worked, the difference between the two, and general myths around 'bypasses' and 'disablers.' It's framed as a public service FAQ rather than a cheat-sharing thread, warning users that most so-called VAC2 fixes were fake and that bans were permanent. The thread doubles as a bit of site lore, name-dropping trusted community figures and rival/partner sites of the era's cheat scene.

This topic does not contain any Anti-VAC / VAC2 Bypassers. Strictly information.— f0wh

There is no 'FreeSteam' VAC2 bypass. It is not real, Steam has fixed this long ago.— f0wh

Thanks to WWIII for writing most of this, love ya— f0wh

c0ke's Steam Account Shop

The guy openly admitted he stole Steam accounts for a living — then got banned as a scammer while the orders kept rolling in.

A trading-subforum thread where user c0ke ran an unapologetic storefront selling stolen Steam accounts (CS 1.6, CSS, DOD, rare titles like TF2/Portal) with a price list and a 'guarantee', and even offered to teach buyers how to steal accounts themselves for extra cash. A steady stream of members lined up requesting cheap low-digit or unbanned accounts, one poster tried to undercut with his own stolen-account listing and got called out as untrustworthy, and another flagged rule violations. The thread ends anticlimactically with the shop's own customers realizing c0ke had already been banned site-wide as a confirmed scammer, and the thread was closed by staff for that reason.

Basically I steal steam accounts, I'm going to admit that. In fact I steal A LOT of steam accounts.— c0ke

I will also teach you how to steal accounts if you have the $$$.— c0ke

ummmm if you ain't noticed c0ke has been banned so i don't think his selling nemore i think it would be a good idea if an admin closed this thread— jacal

BlowItOutYourAss Crew Leaks G9 Hacks — Paysite Drama Erupts

A crew calling themselves BlowItOutYourAss leaked a rival paysite's Battlefield 2 hack — and the rival showed up to argue about it

In March 2008 a Battlefield 2 sub-forum post announced a leaked, reverse-engineered version of the paid 'G9-hacks' aimbot/ESP suite, released free by a group calling itself the BlowItOutYourAss Crew. The thread quickly turned into a spat between the leakers and apparent G9 affiliates (smokey2412, RecoileZ) trading insults about file size, hack quality, and who 'got owned', with other members piling on to mock G9's engine work. It's a classic snapshot of the era's cheat-scene rivalry: paysite drama, leak culture, and forum trash talk all in one place.

What a Joke. Next time Try to Match The Filesize Ass Our Hack is Not 600kb lol— smokey2412

OOh Smokey. I should have known your retarded ass would be behind G9. Goooood GAME!— blowitoutyouras

We Are Adding New Features To Our Site And All Hacks. We will be back soon...— RecoileZ

PRIVATE BF2 HACK HERE WITH AIMBOT!!!

A 2007 owner post pitching a Battlefield 2 aimbot VIP sub — and members actually bought it.

In this Battlefield: 2 subforum thread from July 2007, [FkN] Owner TuxifieD advertised a 'private' BF2 hack with an aimbot, tied to a VIP subscription on the Source Industries site that funded the wider Deception Network (which included Fkn0wned itself). Replies range from curious ('how much money are you guys pulling in') to eager beggars wanting free access, to a couple of members proudly confirming they bought subs — one even got a friend to sign up too. It's a classic slice of the site's business model: staff-run cheat sales advertised right in the game forums, with regular members treating VIP purchases as a way to 'give back' to the community.

It supports the entire Deception Network... so go give back to fkn0wned by purchasing VIP at sourceindustries.net— TuxifieD

God Damn, how much money you guys pulling in to pull that off?— MillerLite

yerp, Just did my part and bought 1 month sub... THNX FOR TEH GR8 H4X— retarded_elephant69

Basic Bunnyhop Script — the 13-page 'unhide/thx/ty' thread

One bhop script, 13 pages of 'unhide', 'thx', and 'ty'.

A member named goofu dropped a basic Counter-Strike bunnyhop script in the Scripting subforum back in December 2007, and it turned into a long-running reply-to-unlock thread that stretched to at least 13 pages over several months. Most replies are one-word 'unhide', 'thx', or 'ty' posts from newcomers just trying to grab the script, with the occasional aside about whether it could get you banned (goofu insisted scripts were always safe). It's a perfect time capsule of mid-2000s CS 1.6/CS:S script-sharing culture and the forum's reply-gated download etiquette.

you can never ever get banned for using a script— goofu

I think many hns servers detect this kind of bhop.. not sure.— hugz`

bunnyyy!!!— qwerty654

MW2 VIP Cheat Launch — TuxifieD & xTriplex's Paid Subscription Debut

TuxifieD drops the paywalled MW2 cheat, and within a day the buyers are already stuck on install errors.

This is the official announcement thread from founder TuxifieD launching a paid 'MW2 VIP' subscription cheat for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, priced at $12.50/month with activation handled manually by coder xTriplex via PayPal transaction IDs. The replies are a mix of hype from VIP/staff members congratulating xTriplex, a few members grumbling about having to pay extra despite already owning lifetime VIP, and early buyers running into activation delays and injector errors ('SCDS Init FAILURE') that xTriplex promises to look into. It's a good snapshot of the site's cheat-selling business model and support culture in December 2009 — casual, a little chaotic, buyers troubleshooting in the open thread.

Yeeee its out!!! All of u guys start buyin' it nwo!:D to kick some serious BUTT— xTriplex

as much as I <3 cheating every once in a while. I hope hacks don't get out of hand in MW2 because I'm really good legit and prefer playing legit.— darkblood24

I try to inject, and it says "SCDS Init FAILURE....." and it doesnt work.— bret123

The CS:S Buffer Overflow Tutorial Thread

A 24-page tutorial on flooding CS:S servers offline that turned into 100+ people saying 'unhide' just to see the code.

A member named zubetube posted a step-by-step tutorial explaining a simple buffer-overflow trick to overwhelm Counter-Strike: Source servers using the Mani Admin Plugin's nextmap/timeleft commands, kicking every player off. The thread ballooned to at least 24 pages over months (March through May 2008) mostly filled with one-word replies like 'unhide', 'ty', and 'pwned' as members tried to reveal the hidden code snippet, plus a few testimonials from people claiming it actually crashed servers. It's a classic snapshot of the fkn0wned 'cheat scene' culture — low-effort bump culture, hidden-content gatekeeping, and casual server-griefing shared as a badge of pride.

LMAO, this thing works great! I overflowed a server about 2 times and then the third time the whole server crashed and restarted itself!— method3909

I want it all. I want it now.— shikaku

HAHA, gonna crash my friends favorite server TY— Ukmonkey

My FPS boosting autoexec (Got low fps? Take a look)

One laptop kid's autoexec.cfg turned into a 16-page, 200-post ritual of 'unhide/ty/gief' that ran for months.

User rnie posted a homemade autoexec.cfg for Counter-Strike: Source, claiming it boosted their laptop's framerate from 15 to 70-100 fps in full servers by combining several other configs. The thread became a long-running staple of the Scripting subforum, with dozens of members replying mostly just to unlock the hidden download link, often with one-word posts like 'ty', 'unhide', or 'thx'. It's less a technical discussion and more a snapshot of the forum's reply-to-unlock culture, stretching across 16 pages and into 2008 with a steady trickle of low-post-count members and a few banned accounts.

went from 15 fps in 32slots servers to 70-100 fps. I hope you people enjoy it— rnie

the details ain't as pretty as in Casey's config, but the game runs extremely well— rnie

giff me— warrst

Bypass VAC2, Play Banned (2007 Gametration Thread)

The post that promised banned players a way back onto secure servers — and got quoted for years after.

A 2007 thread from Gametration.com (a precursor community to fkn0wned/thec0re) started by admin KingDavid, cross-posting a VAC2-bypass method that had been circulating on other forums like MPCforums. It reads as a classic early cheat-scene 'community knowledge sharing' post — long technical steps, screenshots hosted on Imageshack, credit given to the original source site. The replies are short, appreciative, and mostly from members who admit they don't actually have banned accounts to test it on. The page also preserves site-history noise: an admin announcement about the forum's IPB 3.0 upgrade, plus mentions of later Fkn0wned releases (a Modern Warfare 2 pub hack, a Combat Arms hack), showing this thread sat right at the hinge between the old Gametration branding and the fkn0wned era.

This has been posted on a few sites, please post what you have learned and any tips and tricks you have learned.— KingDavid

These guys really pwn ass. Thanks a lot!— AddiKT1ve

wow thats tight. dont got any banned account but good and usefull stuff.— deboy

f0wh's Ultimate CS:S/1.6 Hack-Pack (New Year's 2009, Later VAC2 Detected)

A New Year's Day hack-pack drop that racked up 25 pages of 'unhide' replies before VAC caught up with it

Posted January 1, 2009 by veteran member f0wh in the Detected Hacks subforum of Counter-Strike: Source, this thread bundled together a compilation of then-undetected cheats for CS:S and CS 1.6/CZ, hidden behind the classic 'reply to unlock' mechanism. The thread exploded with dozens of one-word 'unhide' and thank-you replies typical of the era, plus password confusion and at least one user reporting antivirus flagging a trojan in one of the included tools, prompting a defensive reply from staffer vermiLLion. The [VAC2DETECTED] tag in the title marks its eventual fate: like most public hack releases, it was later flagged and detected by Valve Anti-Cheat, landing it in the graveyard forum for outed cheats.

DUDE WTF ALL THESE HACKS HAVE TROJANS IN THEM WTF??— OmfgzATree

Dude you don't read shit. If you get a wrong pass, also try fkn0wned.com— vermiLLion

does it work on mac? :)— Dura

Halloween Rage: Goron's Stolen-Account Rage Video

Goron_Elder_Chris drops the rage video of the month — then casually admits he was playing on stolen Steam accounts the whole time.

A member named Goron_Elder_Chris posted a YouTube 'rage' video (Halloween-themed, from a stolen Steam account by his own admission) to the Counter-Strike Rages subforum in late October 2007, and it became one of the board's more memorable clips, drawing over two dozen replies of praise, lulz, and running jokes about his 'GoronCity' bit. A side conversation breaks out about attempted account-stealing / phishing attempts going around Steam Friends at the time, with Legit_Hacks admitting he tried (and failed) to steal a 'Lord Rager' account, and Goron admitting he was behind an IRC-based attempt too — all treated as a joke rather than a scandal. The thread trails off into a string of short 'lol' and 'nice one' replies over the following weeks, capped by a second page of latecomers still hyping up the video into December.

3 words goron is god <3— Legit_Hacks

Some kid messaged me that gold package link on steamfriends while i was on a stolen account, didn't bother to click it because i'm not retarded.— Goron_Elder_Chris

oops tried to steal lord ragers account— Legit_Hacks

l3m0nz's 'Steam Support' Password Jacking Log

The classic 'I am Steam Support' scam script, preserved in full — right down to the victim's meltdown.

A member named l3m0nz posted a log documenting two social-engineering encounters where someone impersonated an 'Automated Messaging System' claiming to be Steam Support, convincing two users (ilovebarbie and luc) to hand over their account credentials under the guise of an urgent security check. The thread was posted in the Counter-Strike Rages subforum, though other members quickly pointed out it wasn't really a 'rage' since nobody actually got visibly angry until the very end, when the reveal hits and the victim explodes in furious, garbled all-caps reaction. It's a time-capsule example of the account-jacking social engineering scripts that circulated in that era's cheat/gaming scene, shared here more as trophy/bragging content than as a cautionary tale.

You got fucking fkn0wned.. i dont work for steam and im no Automated Messaging system Thx for your steam account.— Automated Messaging System (b46)

WHAT? NOO NOO GIVE ME MY STEAM URSDFFJI fucker !!!!!!!!!!!!— ilovebarbie3

Wasn't really a rage, I didn't see anyone get mad. Nice try.— Arcade

Nova's Super Material Pack — the CS:S Wallhack That Broke the Forum

The wallhack release that made half the forum lose its mind over a guy named Nova

A release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Materials subforum where user 'Nova' dropped his widely-hyped 'Super Material Pack,' a texture/material-based wallhack for CS:S promising transparent models, colored players/weapons, and customizable VGUI options. The thread is mostly gushing praise and forum banter rather than technical discussion, with the download gated behind a reply-to-unlock system typical of the era. A few users report bugs and ask for fixes, and the download link eventually breaks, as later replies note it's missing.

n-n-n-n-n-n-NOVA YOU MAKE ME *FAP*FAP*FAP*!!!!!! i touch myself when i think about you, you make me fap all over my monitor.— Dimitri0s

Nova, you're awesome! You has my respect, sir Nova.— Kimmi

**Nova begins undressing. <_<— Nova

CoconuT-2.7.3-CE release thread

The coconut hack that ran for 14 pages of 'thnx' and 'unhide plz'

A release-board post by member PaRaNoID shared 'CoconuT-2.7.3-CE', a Counter-Strike: Source consistency/radar-hack tool billed as VAC2-proof as of late November 2007, complete with a full antivirus scan rundown. The thread ballooned to at least 14 pages, mostly one-line replies from Noob-ranked members thanking the poster and asking to 'unhide' the download link — a classic fkn0wned release-thread pattern. Little actual discussion beyond gratitude and one member (Devlin1991) asking whether it was basically a glorified wallhack via radar. Banned user 'jacal' (tagged 'Pro Spammer') also appears in the thread list, hinting at the forum's looser moderation of spam accounts.

sweet blud sweeeeeeeeeet— louisbrown6934

is this just for using the radar like a wall hack ?? to see where they are on teh map etc— Devlin1991

Epic Lite Public v1 — The 31-Page Unhide Megathread

31 pages of 'unhide plz', 'ty', and one truly unhinged grandma insult — the megathread that never died.

This was a long-running release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source 'VAC Proof Releases' subforum for a cheat called 'Epic Lite Public v1'. Like most threads of its kind, the actual content sat behind hidden/spoiler tags, so page after page filled up with members posting 'unhide', 'thanks', or 'ty' just to reveal the download — a ritual that stretched the topic out to 31 pages over months. The vibe is classic low-effort bump culture: mostly one-line noob posts, a few Xfire handles dropped for street cred, and at least one bizarre flame-war insult copy-pasted verbatim by two different users. Nothing dramatic happened here beyond the grind of the unhide economy, but it's a perfect time capsule of how these cheat-release threads actually functioned day to day.

you god damn son of an ugly piece of fucking shit.you ulow bastard just go to hell and get a blowjob from your grandma.— fknowner1337

SavagePrawnBot 1.3 Release Thread

A CS 1.6 aimbot release that immediately triggered a multi-AV false-positive-or-trojan debate — then got someone VAC banned anyway.

User savageprawnboy released version 1.3 of his 'SavagePrawnBot' cheat for Counter-Strike 1.6, insisting detections by antivirus software were false positives. A poster ran a full VirusTotal-style multi-engine scan showing several AVs flagging the file as a trojan/injector, prompting forum regular TuxifieD to confirm it was 'clean' but was in fact an injector. The thread has the classic era vibe of cheat-scene skepticism, dead download links needing mod fixes, rival-hack trash talk (comparisons to 'Gp 1.0'), and a running joke from smod Kimmi mocking the comparison with an enormous wall of 'Hahaha'. It ends on a sour note with a user claiming the hack got him VAC banned after a second use.

Precisely :D— savageprawnboy

Atleast mine is VAC proof :blink:— savageprawnboy

Do not use this hack it got me banned after i used it the second time— jimenezmj19

[HS] Private Hack Leaked! (CS:S Releases, Dec 2007)

A paid-for private CS:S cheat gets 'ripped' and dumped free — cue a page of noobs screaming thanks and racing to download it.

Longtime member 'laptops' posted a leaked copy of a previously-paid private Counter-Strike: Source hack, claiming it was VAC2-proof and backing that up with a full multi-scanner virus scan showing clean results. The thread exploded into the classic leak-release pattern: dozens of low-post-count members chiming in with one-word 'thanks', 'unhide', and hype replies just to grab the download. It ran 13 pages deep, making it one of the more popular Releases threads on the board, and captures the site's core cheat-leaking culture at its height.

This hack got ripped, normally you'd pay, but its now free, enjoy, VAC2 proof so far.— laptops

yay thx lap!! I'm hacking brb in 1 h!— anarchie65

very nice find.— logik92

Fkn0wned Simplicity Release Thread

A 22-page cheat release thread where half the replies are just people begging to unlock the download link

This is the release thread for 'Fkn0wned Simplicity,' a Counter-Strike: Source cheat (ESP, wallhack, chams, and various movement/utility tricks) posted by member Us^T and billed as VAC-undetected at time of release. Like many cheat-release threads on this board, the early replies are dominated by broken/hidden download links, users posting 'unhide' or 'show thanks' to reveal content, and a scramble of low-post-count accounts chiming in just to get access. Regulars like cedars and blacknight00 show up with quick thanks and banter, giving it that typical fast-moving, low-effort forum energy of the era.</br>The thread ran to 22 pages, suggesting the release stayed popular/relevant for a good while despite (or because of) VAC-detection uncertainty.

This hack was VAC-Proof At the time released but Do not blame ME if you get VAC Banned.— DCLXVI

I love you.— blacknight00

Good stuff man.. Check your pm.— teamZero

Skelletor Material Hack — CS:S Wallhack Release Thread

A 15-page "VAC PROOF" CSS wallhack drop that had the whole materials subforum begging for the unhide

A CS:S materials-based wallhack (transparent walls, team-colored models, wireframe boxes, no smoke) posted by user Hatred! and credited to 'skelletor', pitched as undetectable since it just swaps skin files rather than injecting code. The thread quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of members posting 'unhide'/'ty' just to unlock the hidden download link, plus a few nervous questions about whether it could still trigger a VAC ban. Hatred! reassured everyone repeatedly that skin-based hacks were safe from VAC, at most risking a server-side ban if used too obviously. Runs 15 pages long, showing this was a popular, well-trafficked release in its day.

You can never get vac banned for this you might get banned of servers if your making it obvious but you will NEVER get vac banned for it— Hatred!

This shit is great, thanks hatred.— vermiLLion

Eventscripts Server Crash Script

Guy gets petty revenge on a 'douche' server owner with a script that nuked the server's ping instead of hijacking rcon — and the thread lived on for 8+ pages and 200+ 'unhide thx' replies.

In the Counter-Strike: Source Materials/Scripts section, member lightsora posted a hidden Eventscripts snippet originally meant to hack a rival server's rcon password out of spite, which instead spiked ping and crashed the server for over 14 minutes. The actual code sat behind a spoiler tag, so the thread's real content quickly became hundreds of one-word replies over many months (mid-2009 into 2010) with members just saying 'unhide', 'thx', or 'ty' to reveal the hidden script. It's a classic example of a hide-tag bump thread — low substance, extremely long lifespan, and a good snapshot of the CSS 'skid' scene's casual attitude toward messing with servers.

So i was looking around on the internet to fuck a guys server over since i had a major fucking bone to pick with him being a total douche— lightsora

unhide and thx i play verry good on css and some admins just ban me becouse i am to good— Cannibal313

unhiding now ahh thanks i think its the changelevel exploit i have this but unhiding to see it— MrWhitefourtynine

What is a Rage? — The 2007 Rage Manifesto

A myg0t-style breakdown of 'real' raging vs. fake aimbot posturing, straight from the Fkn0wned rage subforum's glory days.

In this July 2007 post, member nerfmagez lays out a definition of 'raging' in the Counter-Strike server-hacking prank culture, distinguishing it from simply running an aimbot. The post argues that true rages require piling on extras like blaring music, offensive sprays, macro-spammed chat, and team-flashing, backed up by screenshots as examples. It's framed as a mini-manifesto against people who 'fake rage' to look cool, with Fluffman of the [FkN] Crew staff co-signing in the sole reply.

rage :Somebody that get's pissed or another way of internet gaming where you basically... well piss people off.— nerfmagez

I hate to see people "fake" rage and think there all badass and shit.— nerfmagez

Amen to that. HLSS FTW ^^— Fluffman

HypnotickHook v1.0 Release Thread

A 12-page classic CS 1.6 cheat release that ran from mid-2007 well into the fall — until VAC caught up with it.

This was a Releases-board thread for 'HypnotickHook v1.0,' a Counter-Strike 1.6 cheat by 'Hypnotick' billed as an all-in-one aimbot/ESP/visuals package with claimed VAC2-evasion features, originally posted by moderator DCLXVI (quoting user Cheesus's release template). By the time of this archived page (page 12), the thread title had been updated to '[VAC2DETECTED]' — marking the cheat as busted by Valve Anti-Cheat — but new members were still trickling in months later to thank the uploader, ask if the file was safe, and confirm mirrors worked. It's a good snapshot of the era's release-thread ritual: feature list, changelog, install/troubleshooting steps, a Jotti antivirus scan for 'legitimacy,' and a wall of one-line noob replies.

THANKS, IS THAT VIRUS DANGEROUS?— C.U.B.E.M.A.N.

Charlie's Fake-Hack GUI Service: Building YouTube Clout Interfaces on Demand

The thread where Charlie moonlighted as an on-demand fake-hack GUI designer for the forum's YouTube fame chasers.

This was a 'services' thread run by Charlie, a VIP member, offering to build fake program interfaces (convincing-looking but non-functional 'hack' GUIs) that members could bind to real payloads or just use for YouTube clout videos. sto0ka requested a fake CoD speed-hack GUI and a fake key generator skin, while Baz requested an elaborate fake 'Marvel War of Heroes' mobile hack interface complete with custom dropdown menus and branding for his YouTube channel. Charlie delivered each request promptly, bumping the thread after each completion, and the tone throughout was casual and collaborative — regulars praising his turnaround speed and design work. It's a good snapshot of the forum's fake-hack/YouTube-view economy: less about real cheats, more about performing them convincingly on camera.

Damn amazing charlie— Player™

I'm pretending I have a hack for an iphone game called Marvel War of Heroes and need to video myself using it.— Baz

Valve & VAC2 Overview

The old 'know your enemy' guide to VAC2 — status labels, ban myths, and the classic 'zomg I got banned' pep talk.

A pinned-style explainer thread in the CS 1.6 General section breaking down how the site classified cheats relative to Valve Anti-Cheat 2: VAC2 Proof, VAC2 Detected, and VAC2 Unknown. It also covers the community folklore around VAC bans being permanent and account-wide, how to find unsecured/LAN servers to keep playing after a ban, and a warning to previously-banned users about not getting a fresh account banned again. Posted by longtime member Shifty (r3birth?), it reads as one of the site's staple 'orientation' threads for newcomers to the cheat scene.

Valve have 0 tollerence for hacking and will not take sympathy votes so dont waste your time emailing or posting on their forums.— Shifty

Word of advice, if you cant live without hacking then I advise you to use texture hacks, they can be found in our Database— Shifty

COD4 VIP Cheat Release (2009) - fkn0wned's Paid Hack Era

The day fkn0wned rolled out its paid COD4 cheat — chams, aimbot, 'PB Undetected' and all.

An official announcement from site founder TuxifieD introducing a new paid VIP cheat for Call of Duty 4, sold through CCBill since PayPal wasn't an option. The post laid out a long feature list (ESP, aimbot, no-recoil, menu customization) and claimed Punkbuster-proof status at the time. A moderator, ZoaQ, replied shortly after, likely to acknowledge or bump the release. It's a good snapshot of fkn0wned's commercial cheat-selling era and how these releases were marketed to the community.

PB Status: Undetected— TuxifieD

We Currently are NOT offering paypal.— TuxifieD

Fkn0wned VIP Hack Release (CS:S)

The day fkn0wned rolled out its paid VIP aimbot/ESP package for Counter-Strike: Source — undetected, of course.

A May 2009 announcement thread from site founder TuxifieD unveiling the site's premium 'VIP' cheat for Counter-Strike: Source, sold via CCBill or PayPal. The post is a full feature rundown — aimbot options, ESP, wallhack-style extras, and misc tricks like bunnyhop and spinbot — framed as VAC2 undetected at the time. It's classic cheat-scene marketing copy: bold claims, a screenshot, and a hard sales pitch, with a promo tie-in offering a free Steam account for lifetime buyers that week. Staff admin Fkn0wnedWasHere chimes in right after, suggesting the announcement got quick attention from the community.

Vac2 Status: Undetected— TuxifieD

Fire Rates - The Legendary CS:S Scripting Thread

A humble dual-pistols fire-rate script that somehow ran for 13 pages and over 240 replies until the forum's dying days.

Started by member Darkness in July 2006, this Counter-Strike: Source scripting thread shared a simple bind script letting players cycle fire modes (auto, single, semi, burst) via mousewheel-click, notably turning dual pistols into makeshift machine guns. What began as a one-post tutorial snowballed into one of the board's longest-running threads, still getting bumped by new members well into 2008. By its later pages the thread had mostly devolved into low-effort 'thanks', one-word bumps, and drive-by posts from brand-new accounts rather than actual discussion.

thx mang let see if it works— pootang

it seems to be nice— dennn

myg0t Rage Sounds Pack (215 MB, RapidShare)

A 215MB grab-bag of myg0t rage sound clips, shared in two RapidShare links back in '07.

A member known as LoRd Ragealot uploaded a large compilation of 'rage sounds' associated with the infamous myg0t group and shared it via two RapidShare links for other CS ragers to use. The thread sits in the Raging and Advertising > Counter-Strike Rages section, a hub for the community's trolling/raging culture, and quickly drew replies and reputation from members looking for the download. It ran to 12 pages, suggesting it was a popular, long-lived resource thread in its day.

So I took the time and uploaded all my rage sounds!! I thought that might be useful for all ragers here!— LoRd Ragealot

[VAC2 PROOF] blackk-public-v1.1b — 19 Pages Later, VAC Says Otherwise

The multihack that swore it was 'VAC2 Proof' — 19 pages later, VAC said otherwise.

A release thread in the Counter-Strike: Source Releases subforum for 'blackk-public-v1.1b,' a multihack by 'sevenJ' advertised as an aimbot/ESP package with recoil and spread removals plus various bypasses. The thread ran to 19 pages of downloads, thanks, and requests for links before staff member PaRaNoID closed it in November 2007 after users started reporting VAC bans, marking the tool officially 'detected.' It's a classic snapshot of the era's cheat-release cycle: bold claims of undetectability followed inevitably by the ban wave and thread closure.

Valve/VAC2 Overview

The sticky that explained VAC bans, 'VAC proof' labels, and why crying on the Steam forums never worked.

A pinned explainer post from the 'VAC Proof Releases' subforum breaking down Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC2) terminology used across the site's cheat listings — 'VAC2 Proof', 'VAC2 Detected', and 'VAC2 Unknown' — and warning that detection status could change as Valve updated. It also covers the harsh reality of permanent, unappealable Steam bans, workarounds like unsecured/LAN servers, and a nod toward 'safer' texture hacks from the site's database. Classic cheat-forum public-service post: equal parts FAQ, liability disclaimer, and community folklore about getting banned.

[VAC2PROOF] Blackk Public v1 Release Thread

A 14-page release thread from the peak CS:S cheat-scene era, kicked off by an FkN admin.

This was the release thread for a Counter-Strike: Source cheat called 'Blackk public v1', posted in the Releases subforum by longtime FkN staff member Malware. The thread ran to 14 pages, suggesting heavy community engagement typical of a hyped public release. It captures the era's cheat-scene culture, complete with the site's own IRC channel, points system, and 'Sig Of The Week' community features. The archived text here only preserves the opening post header and forum furniture, not the substantive discussion that followed.

Selling Low Digits. Have A Look..

Rare 2-digit and 4-digit Steam accounts for sale, and even a forum admin was tempted

A Market Place listing from long-time member SnEaKyJoKER offering two vintage low-digit Steam accounts (a 4-digit and a rare 2-digit) for a few hundred dollars each, back when 'low digit' Steam IDs were a coveted collector's item in the cheat/gaming scene. The thread is short but notable for admin ap3x openly coveting the 2-digit account, a skeptical newer member questioning whether 2-digit accounts were even real, and SnEaKyJoKER's blunt, jokey sales pitch. It's a small time-capsule of the old Steam-account trading culture that thrived on forums like this one before Valve cracked down harder on such trades.

GODDDD I WANT THAT 2DIG— ap3x

wtf, 2digits are real? sif they wouldn't get disabled.— SteamHacker

Dont Like me? Go Suck A thumb. :D— SnEaKyJoKER
