[DL] Game Files | GCFs megathread

One guy's absolutely deranged master list of every Steam GCF ever ripped and mirrored, one tinyurl at a time.

A massive 2007 resource-dump thread in the Steam Client subforum where user johhu12 compiled links to dozens of Steam GCF game/content files (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Civilization, Commandos, and many more), sourced from a rotating cast of contributors and mirrored across every free filehost of the era (RapidShare, up-file, lix.in, xeem.to, DivShare). It's less a discussion than a communal archive-building effort, with credits stacked up for who found or re-uploaded each file, and near-constant link rot requiring mirrors upon mirrors. The only reply flags a couple of the listed files as fake, a reminder of how unreliable these link-hoarding threads could get.

So here are the GCF's and and other Game Files. If somebody finds a link down then tell me. All all the GCF's work here, tested.— johhu12

Faking a Steam Friend Name to Look Like support.steampowered.com

The old trick of spoofing a Steam display name to look like an official Valve support account, discussed circa 2007.

A 2007 thread in the Steam Client subforum where members traded tips on using special/lookalike characters to make a Steam friends list name resemble 'support.steampowered.com,' explicitly framed as useful for phishing. Replies included variations on the trick and a member describing posing as a Valve moderator in messages sent to targets. It's a small, casual thread typical of the era's cheat/phishing-adjacent chatter, with a handful of regulars weighing in.

just use the character map and use a small capital M and a kinda wierd looking r . mine is like this suррoгt.sтeaмpowered.com— thesource

[Script] Firemode Selector by SNK

One key bind to turn any CS:S gun into burst-fire or semi-auto — the community's favorite script drop of late 2009.

Forum moderator SNK posted a config script for Counter-Strike: Source that let players toggle a weapon between burst-fire, semi-automatic, and full-auto modes with a single keybind, displaying the current mode on-screen. The thread ran for two pages of mostly short thank-you replies and 'unhide' requests, showing it was a popular, well-received download in the Materials/Scripts section. It's a good snapshot of the low-key, script-sharing side of the forum's Counter-Strike Source community rather than any drama.

OMG I have always looked for something like this... thanks and NICE SHARE!!— ap3x

Seems to be epic.— kandidose

DirectX8-9 vTable Enumeration Reference (str1k3r21)

The old-school copy-paste cheat dev reference: every D3D8/D3D9 vtable index laid out by hand.

A short reference post in the Programming subforum listing the full method-index enumerations for DirectX 8 and DirectX 9's Direct3D device vtables, posted by member str1k3r21 as a convenience resource for other coders/cheat developers. The post itself is just a dry, exhaustive numbered list of API function offsets with no discussion attached. It's a classic artifact of the era's 'cheat scene' programming culture, where hooking Direct3D internals was a core technique for building game hacks, and members shared this kind of low-level scaffolding freely. The thread saw no replies, typical of purely reference-dump posts.

Was not 'HARD' to get this, but it was 'LONG' to do it .. Nothing special but it helps some people instead of scrolling down counting. Love you all <3— str1k3r21

vermiLLion's CS Console Command Reference

The old fkn0wned cheat-scene reference dump of obscure Counter-Strike console commands, courtesy of a 3k-post regular.

A reference-style post by longtime [FkN] Crew member vermiLLion, listing a grab-bag of obscure Half-Life engine / Counter-Strike console commands, cvars, and client quirks he'd collected. Posted in the Programming subforum under Tech & Security, it reads like a community cheat-sheet rather than a discussion — the kind of utility thread regulars would bookmark. The post ends with an open call for others to contribute anything missing, suggesting it was meant to be a living community resource.

If anyone knows of anything that i did not post then please inform me of it and i will update the main post.— vermiLLion

[C++] DirectX8 Clean Base by str1k3r21

A game-hacking base code drop from the DX8 hooking era, credits and all.

In this Programming board post, member str1k3r21 shared a basic DirectX8 'clean base' — a foundational code project used as a starting point for hooking into DirectX8 rendering functions like Present and DrawIndexedPrimitive. The post credits several other scene figures (Gordon', Patrick, Dominik, z0mbie, Hans211) for various components, reflecting the collaborative, credit-sharing culture of the era's game-hacking/programming subculture. A screenshot was linked as proof the base worked, and a download was offered for others to build on.

This is a basic DirectX8 Base, it's clean.— str1k3r21

How to Get the Admin Password on School or Work

Eleven pages of teenage hackerman bravado over sneaking past the school IT admin

A long-running Random Tuts thread on Fkn0wned.com where members traded (and mostly just hyped up) methods for getting admin access on school or work computers. By page 11, in January 2008, the thread had devolved into low-effort bumps, one-word replies, and inside-joke chatter rather than actual technical discussion. It's a good snapshot of the classic mid-2000s cheat-forum culture: bored teens, Xfire handles in every signature, and a tutorial thread that outlived its usefulness but kept getting replies anyway.

John the peadophile is going to be so disapointed. haha.— Raze

Mazzive Tutorial List (2007 Megathread)

A megathread of random how-tos that ran to 23 pages of forum sprawl

AngryBobo kicked off a compiled list of miscellaneous tutorials in the Off-Topic 'Random Tuts' subforum back in January 2007. The thread quickly ballooned to 23 pages, drawing in regulars and staff like miLLer for quick drive-by replies. It reads as a classic catch-all resource thread typical of the era, more notable for its length and longevity than any single moment of drama.

jolly rojer =D— miLLer

What to Do When You Get Scammed?

A decade-old 'how to fight back after a scam' thread that ran ten pages deep in the Random Tuts board.

A tutorial-style thread started by SubZero in the Random Tuts sub-board, promising advice on recovering money and 'owning' scammers after a trade or deal went bad. It clearly struck a nerve with the community, stretching to ten pages of replies. Typical of the trading/scamming culture that plagued gaming forums of this era, where in-game items, Steam accounts, and cash trades were common and scam call-outs were a recurring genre of thread.

Will get your money back, and will own the enemy.— SubZero

Learn How to Hack Teamspeak Servers

A 2007 'Teamspeak defacing' toolkit thread, complete with a confused newbie asking where the download went

Posted by member Shifty in the Random Tuts subforum under Off-Topic, this thread offered a bundled pack claiming to contain tools for taking over and defacing Teamspeak servers, along with a ban list checker and tutorial. It's a classic slice of the site's cheat/tut culture, complete with an image link and a promised download. Early replies show the usual forum friction of the era: a low-post-count member (honda150) complaining that content was hidden behind access restrictions, and a notable regular (l3m0nz) chiming in shortly after. The thread ran to 8 pages, suggesting it got real traction in its day.

Why in most of the forum, it says "Hidden content" I want to download this =(— honda150

Phisher (HOW TO GUIDE) - 10 Easy Steps (MYSPACE)

Back when phishing MySpace accounts got its own step-by-step guide and a round of applause from staff.

A 2007 tutorial thread in the Random Tuts subforum where user #1killa posted a '10 easy steps' guide (with an included picture) on phishing MySpace accounts. Staff member AKULA replied approvingly, saying he'd try it sometime, and the thread ran long at 7 pages, reflecting the casual, unmoderated 'cheat scene' culture typical of the site's Off-Topic tutorials section. Xajino, later shown as Banned, also chimed in early on.

nice i will try this some time— AKULA

Fanatics Bunny Hop Script

The old scroll-wheel bhop script that half the CSS scripting board ran back in the day.

A Counter-Strike: Source scripting thread from Fkn0wned's Scripting subforum, sharing a config-based bunny hop script credited to community members FaNaTiC and Supex0. Posted by longtime user r3birth?, who at post #501 was clearly a regular fixture of the board. The thread is a snapshot of the era's autoexec.cfg script-sharing culture around CS:S movement exploits.

All credits goto my good friend FaNaTiC & Supex0 for making it =)— r3birth?

Mega-Thread: Useful Apps (Boot CD Toolkit Dump)

The one thread that had literally every DOS/Windows utility a PC tech could ever need, all in one boot CD.

A sprawling 'mega-thread' in the Red Light District > Software subforum where user k0rn_h0li0, a prolific Warez Manager with nearly 1,900 posts, dumped a massive catalog of an all-in-one bootable DOS CD: partition managers, disk cloners, data recovery tools, BIOS/CMOS utilities, password reset tools, and general Windows system utilities. It reads like a classic mid-2000s 'ultimate toolkit' warez post, the kind of resource thread old forum members would bookmark for fixing broken PCs. The thread ran at least 10 pages, suggesting it stayed active and useful to the community over time.

Christ's Natural Selection Script Pack (2006)

A coder named Christ dumped an absolute kitchen-sink script pack for Natural Selection back in '06.

Coder 'Christ' posted a massive Natural Selection (NS) script pack in the Scripting subforum, inviting bug reports so he could re-upload fixes. The pack bundled dozens of scripts covering movement tricks, visual tweaks, weapon exploits, and admin/sv_cheats utilities typical of the mid-2000s CS/NS scripting scene. It's a solid snapshot of the kind of scripting culture that thrived on fkn0wned back when servers were looser and admins tolerated this stuff.

Thieves.co Leaked Programmes and Methods

An old social engineering outfit's playbook got leaked to the forum — and page 1 of 3 says it was a big deal.

This thread lived in the Social Engineering subforum under Tutorials, and centered on leaked material said to originate from a group called 'Thieves.co', including their internal programmes and methods. It clearly generated enough interest to run at least three pages, suggesting active discussion, reactions, or follow-up leaks from members. The surrounding chrome shows this was part of a broader site with a cheat/hack database (CS 1.6, CoD4, MW2, etc.), VIP subscriptions, and a fairly typical early-2010s scene-forum structure of General, Leechers Galore, Gaming Market, and Security & Hacking sections.

Fuckload of C++ ebooks

One member dumped a massive, sprawling list of classic C++ programming ebooks for the coding-curious cheat crowd.

In the Red Light District's Electronic & Audio books subforum, a 1000-Club veteran member posted an enormous list of C++ programming ebook titles, spanning classics like Stroustrup's 'The C++ Programming Language', 'Effective C++', 'Design Patterns', and dozens of Addison Wesley, O'Reilly, and Prentice Hall titles. The thread ran at least 4 pages, suggesting it was a well-used resource for members looking to learn programming, likely tied to the site's cheat-development culture. It's a small window into how much of the forum's hacking/cheating scene was intertwined with genuine interest in learning to code.

Hex Editing to make Trojans & Viruses Undetectable - Basic Guide

The old 'make your RAT invisible' tutorial thread that ran three pages deep in the security section.

A tutorial-style thread in the Tool Setups subforum under Computer Security and Hacking, walking members through hex editing as a method to evade antivirus detection on trojans and other malware. It's the kind of thread that was common on cheat-scene forums of the era, mixing gaming culture with grey-hat 'security' tinkering. The thread ran to at least three pages, suggesting decent engagement and follow-up discussion or requests for help.

How to Social Engineer Corsair Products

An old-school tutorial thread on talking companies out of free gear — Corsair edition.

A tutorial-style thread posted in the Social Engineering subforum, laying out a method members used to try to get replacement or free Corsair hardware by contacting the company directly. It's typical of the site's 'tutorials' culture, where practical (and ethically dubious) how-to guides were shared as content to boost reputation and engagement. The thread ran long enough to span 7 pages, suggesting it got a lot of replies, attempts, and follow-up questions from other members.

Simple Batch 'Virus' Tutorial

The obligatory 2007 'hacker' rite of passage: a goofy batch-file 'virus' that spams Internet Explorer and threatens a fake shutdown countdown.

A member calling himself ~1337H4x0R~ (IxPKxALL) posted a beginner-tier Windows batch script tutorial that faked a shutdown countdown and spammed launches of Internet Explorer, with a throwaway line about making it 'actually' destructive by adding a delete command. Replies were unimpressed but polite — one poster called it old news everyone already knew, and another (Exover) one-upped it with a flashier 'better method' version featuring color codes, a custom title, and links to an old fkn0wned-branded joke site. The thread is a classic slice of mid-2000s script-kiddie forum culture: low-stakes 'haxing' bravado, goofy leetspeak signatures, and members riffing on each other's code for fun rather than any real malicious intent.

YOUR GONNA DIE!— IxPKxALL

TeamSpeak 2.0 Remote DoS Exploit Thread

The old TeamSpeak-killer thread everyone bumped just to say 'thx' and grab the hidden download link

A long-running Programming subforum thread on Fkn0wned.com sharing a remote denial-of-service exploit for the Windows release of TeamSpeak 2.0, with the actual content stashed behind an 'unhide' spoiler tag. Most of the multi-page thread is filler replies from members unlocking the hidden post, thanking the OP, or asking basic questions about how to run it via Perl. It's a classic mid-2000s cheat-forum artifact: a niche exploit release surrounded by low-effort bumps, Xfire tags, and noob member profiles rather than real technical discussion.

i know how to use perl but how to i use this exploit... ?— l3m0nz

This sounds like a must have— hunterbrute224

what is this— imani

[BAT] Blue Screen Of Death — the fake-BSOD prank script

The batch file prank every bored fkn0wned kid used to mess with their tech teacher

xXHeistXx posted a simple batch script that fakes a Windows Blue Screen Of Death, complete with the classic IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error text and a mock memory dump. It's a lighthearted Programming subforum post rather than anything malicious — just a novelty prank script for scaring friends, classmates, or unsuspecting tech staff. The replies are almost entirely one-word 'ty/thanks/unhide' posts typical of a Boots & Keys era hide-tag thread, with vermiLLion admitting to using it on a tech teacher who wouldn't know a batch file if it hit him.

Saving right now. These are fun to do to the tech teachers because he is the tech guy and doesn't know what a batch file is XD— vermiLLion

Hrmm lies O_o— itzangelikk

[C#] Generate Hardware ID (Programming board)

A quick C# tutorial on hardware-ID generation turns into a mini debate about whether it could ever stop PunkBuster or a leaked cheat

User CTSSTC posted a short C# programming tutorial (sourced from an external site) on generating a unique hardware ID by combining a machine's CPU and hard drive serial numbers, pitched as a way to tie licensed software to a specific computer. The thread quickly drifted from pure programming into the forum's cheat-scene context, with triplem asking if it could help dodge PunkBuster detection and KreaT!vE and CTSSTC discussing how such IDs could still be spoofed or reverse-engineered, and that obfuscation only raises the bar rather than truly securing anything. It's a small, technical snapshot of how the community's programming subforum overlapped constantly with its cheat/anti-leak concerns.

is this shizzle legit, would remove PB threat?— triplem

It somewhat removes the threat of Leaking of a product. You can still spoof your hwid to get it to work.— KreaT!vE

any crazy good person out there will surely be able to reverse anything you do— CTSSTC

What Language Should I Learn to Build Keyloggers/Crypters

A newbie asks how to build a keylogger and crypter, and touches off a classic VB6-vs-C++-vs-C# scene debate

A new member named Failninja opens a thread in the Programming subforum asking which language to learn for building keyloggers, stealers, FUD crypters, and keygens, mentioning his existing VB.Net background. The thread turns into a sprawling back-and-forth among regulars debating the merits of VB6, C++, and C# for 'scene' coding and stealth/undetection purposes, with some heated disagreement over claims about stealthing capability. It's a solid snapshot of the forum's programming/security culture circa late 2009, where malware-adjacent coding discussion was treated as ordinary shop talk.

c++ is your best shot.— KreaT!vE

IMO, keyloggers should be done in C#.— tKeR

you're talking out of your ass.— nyte

SMS Bomber International V2.6 — Catmaster's Text-Spam Tool Release

Catmaster drops v2.6 of his SMS bomber, and half the thread just wants to know why it won't fire on their carrier

Longtime member Catmaster released the latest version of his homemade SMS/email bombing tool in the Programming subforum, complete with screenshot and VirusTotal scan link. Reactions were the usual mix of thanks and skepticism, with a Smod half-jokingly warning it could get someone in legal trouble, and BANNED member Hatred! reporting it didn't work on his own UK phone/provider — sparking a back-and-forth about carrier compatibility. The thread is a pretty ordinary slice of the Tech & Security board's tool-sharing culture, with staff, VIPs, and regular members all chiming in over a few weeks.

This looks like it could end you up in jail pretty fast.— ap3x

Does not work tried it on my own phone rofl :/— Hatred!

Hide this shit. It's fucking amazing. <3— h4voCK

Poison Ivy 2.2.0 RAT Release + Tutorial

A 2007 RAT release thread, complete with 'i smell h4x' and a mod-request derail

A member called Paws posted an updated version of the Poison Ivy remote access tool along with a promised tutorial, crediting fellow member sonnik for having posted an older version first. The thread quickly filled with casual replies, thanks, and small talk typical of the Software subforum in the Red Light District section, plus a slightly confused off-topic aside from prinz asking about becoming a moderator. Staff member Sonikk also chimed in, and the tone stayed light and chatty rather than technical, with Paws admitting the tutorial itself was still a work in progress.

Thx fly out to sonnik for posting an older version thus reminding me to post this newer one :D— Paws

i smell h4x. :D— MillerLite

the old was good nut is then here better?— prinz

Rapid Hacker 2.7 Final - Rapidshare Wait-Bypass Tool

The tool that promised to kill Rapidshare's dreaded download timer, complete with 'awesome rap theme music.'

A 2007 post in Fkn0wned's Red Light District > Software subforum sharing a tool called 'Rapid Hacker 2.7 Final,' claimed to bypass Rapidshare's waiting-time limits for downloads. Poster Gospel hyped it up with a screenshot, a CRC32 checksum for file verification, and a troubleshooting guide for runtime errors, plus a plug for comments/friend adds on their profile. It's a classic snapshot of the mid-2000s file-hosting-bypass tool era, with a quick approving reply from fellow member rnie.

This is by far the sexiest, meanest and godliest way to bypass Rapidshares LONG ass waiting limits.— Gospel

IT ALSO COMES WITH AWESOME RAP THEME MUSIC!— Gospel

nice one— rnie

Phishing Template Drop in Red Light District

A member drops a phishing template and the whole board just says thanks like it's a free sig pack

Posted late November 2007 in the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates board, veteran member Afteryou shared a phishing-related script/template, prefaced with a cheeky 'gotta love it' attitude. The thread devolved into the usual reply-chain of thanks, quoted images, and casual banter, with 'laptops' (self-titled 'The King Phisher') joking about competing for the top spot and Paws ribbing him about it. It's a snapshot of the forum's Web 1.0-era casualness around sharing sketchy tools openly, treated as just another handy resource rather than anything scandalous.

Nice work, love phishing. Now i just have to compete with laptops ;/— Paws

Get To 1K and give em for free— laptops

Dude, thank you so much, have been looking for something like this. <3— cedars

Get a BF2 Key (by veto)

One kid called EA Sweden pretending he'd lost his account — and walked away with six Battlefield 2 keys.

In this 2007 Other Games thread, user veto shared a social-engineering trick for getting free Battlefield 2 CD-keys by calling EA support and claiming to have lost account access, hidden behind a spoiler tag. The thread devolved into the classic forum ritual of members spamming 'unhide' to unlock the hidden content, with a few confirming it worked (or didn't), one member half-jokingly asking if it was even legal, and veto insisting EA was the one at fault for not verifying anything. Low-effort one-word replies dominate, typical of the era's cheat/exploit-sharing culture.

Of course it is :) It's not our fault they don't ask questions.— veto

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL IT DOES WORK!!!!!!!!!!! THEY SEEMED KINDA SKETCHY WHEN I DID IT BUT IT DID WORK!!!!!!!— RuddifieD

f0wh's Megavideo/RapidShare/MegaUpload Timelimit Bypass Plugin

Back when 72-minute Megavideo limits were public enemy #1, f0wh dropped the fix and the whole tutorials board showed up to say thanks

A 2009 Tutorials-forum post by veteran member f0wh sharing a Firefox plugin meant to get around the download/viewing time limits on Megavideo, RapidShare, and MegaUpload — the holy trinity of file-hosting sites in that era. The thread is mostly a long chain of one-word 'thanks/ty/unhide' replies from members racking up post counts, plus one user noting it didn't work for Megavideo and another lamenting they were stuck on Opera. Classic snapshot of the site's Tutorials section, which f0wh explicitly created this post to consolidate against a flood of duplicate 'how to bypass' threads.

I post this in the tutorial section to get rid of all the "how to bypass megavideo, rapidshare and megaupload" tutorials.— f0wh

Doesn't work for Megavideo.— Mutil8

Really awesome, Thanks too bad Im using Opera— KristofferZ

Free Microsoft Points

The classic hidden-content bait thread — everyone piled in just to say 'unhide'

A 2009 Tutorials-section thread posted by longtime [FkN] Crew member vermiLLion, promising a method for scoring free Microsoft Points (the old Xbox Live currency), locked behind the forum's classic reply-to-unlock spoiler tag. The replies are pure early-forum ritual: dozens of members posting one-word 'unhide', 'ty', or 'lol' just to reveal the hidden content, with a few skeptics chiming in ('lies', 'lolwut'). vermiLLion later claims in the thread that they personally used the trick to score points by claiming a Halo 3 DLC issue, giving a small glimpse of the actual scam being taught.

I actually did this myself and managed to get 800 points because i told them my Halo 3 DLC wasn't working.— vermiLLion

Get All Steam Games for Free (2009 Password-Locked Warez Trick)

A password-locked "unlock every Steam game" trick that half the thread just showed up to say "unhide" for.

Posted by OutLawz in the Tutorials section, this thread shared a supposed method (credited to hp321helder) to download Steam games without needing legitimate game cache files, gated behind a hidden-content/password wall. Most replies aren't discussion at all — they're one-word posts like "unhide," "unh," and "asd" from members trying to unlock the hidden text, with a couple of skeptics openly questioning whether it actually worked or was a scam setup. It's a classic snapshot of the forum's reply-to-unlock tutorial culture on a defunct 2009-era cheat/warez board.

this would be cool probly dont work thow— LOGMEIN

Not sure if it is, but sounds like a method i used when i first started scamming.."found this..." anyways USE at you OWN COST.— b456

"15 Second Hack": a classic reply-to-unlock hidden-content tutorial thread

A tutorial promising instant access to "other computers" — and a whole thread of members lining up to reply just to see the hidden text.

A May 2009 Tutorials-forum post from member mongoklomp claimed to reveal a way to remotely access another computer in seconds, with the actual content locked behind Fkn0wned's classic 'reply to unlock' hidden-content system. The thread quickly filled with members posting one-word replies like 'unhide,' 'ty,' and 'omg' purely to unlock the tutorial, alongside a few skeptics calling it fake and one member (h4voCK) pausing to question a technical claim and correct the OP's spelling. It's a snapshot of the forum's tutorial section at its most typical: a bold hacking claim, a wall of reply-to-unlock spam, and equal parts hype and doubt in the comments.

HERE I TELL YOU HOW TO ACCESS OTHER COMPUTER JUST IN SECONDS OF TIME— mongoklomp

No way dude. this is probably gonna be bs— joeym0nk

How to Make a Dynamic Avatar (Obama/Bin Laden Swap Gif)

Ap3x's forum avatar flipped between Obama and Bin Laden — and everyone wanted to know how

A tutorial thread in the Tutorials board where longtime [FkN] Admin ap3x shared a script for creating a 'dynamic' avatar that alternated between animated .gif images (using Obama and Bin Laden pictures as the demo). The content itself was hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall, a common tactic on this forum, so most replies are just members thanking ap3x or asking to see it. Low-drama, typical utility/tutorial thread vibe with the era's usual reply-farming and '+rep me' culture.

You may have noticed my avatar over to the right of this post changes between a picture of Barack Obama and a picture of Osama Bin Laden.— ap3x

Shit brix.— ap3x

SHOW MEEEHHH?!— zanderdanmark

How to Make 2 Really Bad Viruses in About 3 Minutes

Botoxx drops two batch-file 'viruses' for the lulz, and half the replies just beg him to unhide the goods

A 2007 tutorial thread from Fkn0wned's Tutorials board where regular Botoxx shared two simple homemade virus scripts (one named 'R.I.P') that were credited to another site, designed to mess with a victim's PC — closing programs, hiding files, flipping mouse buttons, and forcing shutdowns. The thread quickly turned into the classic forum shuffle of people demanding the hidden content be unlocked, a mod (DCLXVI) relocating it to the Random Tuts subforum, and a mix of casual praise, skepticism about antivirus detection, and general early-2000s script-kiddie banter. Nothing sophisticated by today's standards, but a good time-capsule of the era's cheat/hacking forum culture where 'viruses' were treated as fun toys to share and brag about.

HAVE FUN! Hidden Content You'll be able to see the hidden content once you reply to this topic.— Botoxx

sweet to bad it is most likely detected by the anti-virus before it can be executed— fatalsupernova

well there are many ppl who don't have anti virus prog..and if they have, I just write them in msn: click on ignore wen your anti virus prg pops up hehe— Botoxx

iStealer 5 Video Tutorial by lam3r

The password-stealer tutorial that had half the forum begging to 'unhide'

In the Tutorials section, longtime member lam3r posted an 11-minute video walkthrough for iStealer 5, a password-stealing tool, hosted on zshare after it proved too large for YouTube. The thread quickly turned into a low-effort reply chain of newer members posting 'unhide'/'show please' to unlock the hidden content, alongside a short technical exchange clarifying that iStealer was a stealer (grabbing saved browser/FTP/Steam credentials) rather than a persistent keylogger, and a mention that the forum's own crypter (FkNCrypt) was now heavily flagged by antivirus.

Yeah i made it, about 11 minutes long. Feel free to S my D.— lam3r

You better reply & say thanks in this post if you use this...or I'll find you...— lam3r

Istealer is a program which creates keyloggers and uploads the passes it gets on ur ftp acc on net.— aimshot120

Free Online Mail Bomber Tool Release

m1sterfopje drops a free 'send unlimited fake mail' tool and the whole board immediately asks who's gonna get bombed

User m1sterfopje shared a self-hosted web tool that could send mass emails while spoofing the sender address, pitching it as usable for pranking or 'bombing' someone's inbox. The thread got a warm, jokey reception from regulars who praised it, asked to have it stickied, and traded tips about spam filters and spoofing tricks. It's a small but vivid snapshot of the site's early-2010s script-kiddie/prank culture, with staff and long-time members (ap3x, Kimmi, PopTart, f0wh) all chiming in casually.

won't be long before they realize their mail server is on fire— ap3x

BF2 Demo Hacking Tutorial (long-running thread, page 6)

The last stretch of replies to fkn0wned's long-running Battlefield 2 demo hack tutorial thread.

This is the tail end (page 6) of a long-running tutorial thread in the Battlefield 2 subforum, teaching members how to get a hack running on the BF2 demo client. By this point the thread had run for months, mostly filled with new members thanking the original author and confirming it worked for them. The original tutorial was credited to a member called NightNinja, with other users chiming in with quick feedback rather than technical discussion.

I found it kinda easy was fun aswell :laugh:— retarded_elephant69

Concentration Script (alternative duck)

A humble CS 1.6 scripting thread that just kept going — nine pages of 'thanks m8' and bump requests years later.

Started by lea0001 in September 2006 in the Counter-Strike 1.6 Scripting subforum, this thread shared a handful of custom scripts, including a 'concentration script' and a tweaked one-shot/random-heroes script. It stuck around for years, slowly accumulating replies from a rotating cast of low-post-count newcomers mostly saying thanks, asking for the download to be re-upped ('unhide'), or bumping the thread long after the original post. It's a good snapshot of the slow, unglamorous long tail of a niche cheat/script-sharing community.

The 'Close Someone Else's MySpace' Tutorial Thread

Pyeman drops a spam-mail trick to nuke other people's MySpace accounts, and the peanut gallery immediately demands the password.

A 2007 'Random Tuts' thread where member pyeman posted a method using a spoofed SMTP mailer to send fake cancellation requests to MySpace on someone else's behalf, hiding the details behind a spoiler tag gated by a password. The replies are classic era-appropriate forum noise: people begging for the hidden password, someone questioning the point of hiding it, a couple of skeptics asking for confirmation it actually worked, and a wave of low-effort 'lol', 'ty', and 'nice' one-liners. No one in the visible thread confirms results before it cuts off on page one of seven.

whats the point of hiding stuff?— Industrial

This is pure win if it works.— hunterbrute224

Someone confirm that this works?— Sideways

AccessDiver Password-Cracking Tutorial Thread

A 2007 tutorial post that had half the board begging 'unhide plz'

A user named laptops posted a video tutorial about using the AccessDiver tool in the Random Tuts subforum of Gametration's Off-Topic section. The thread quickly filled with new/low-post members replying just to unlock the hidden download link, a classic pattern for tutorial threads on cheat-scene forums of that era. One member, Matt11, even asked if the technique could be used on Bebo and where to find proxy lists, showing the casual, anything-goes attitude typical of the site at the time. Laptops was later marked as a banned user in the forum's user group system.

unhide plz ty— milkrulz04

Learning How to Script for CSS: The Autoexec.cfg Struggle Session

A CS:S scripting tutorial thread that slowly devolves into a group struggle session over how to make an autoexec.cfg file

A basic tutorial thread on scripting for Counter-Strike: Source, started by member Darkness, that turns into a long back-and-forth where multiple members explain (and correct each other on) the simple mechanics of creating an autoexec.cfg file. One member, Wildchild, even walks back his own initial explanation a day later with a 'better' method. It's a mundane but charmingly earnest slice of mid-2000s gaming forum life, with newbies asking if scripting is 'like hax' and members patiently one-upping each other's config-file instructions across five pages.

What is scripting? is it like hax?— ()z0n3

Oh thx r4g3d but i got a better one hehe— Wildchild

Movie Quality Terms Explained: The CAM/TS/SCR/DVDRip Glossary

The classic CAM/TS/SCR/DVDRip glossary every warez-era downloader had bookmarked

A reference-style pinned post in the Warez > Movies subforum, posted by longtime Smod PopTart, laying out the standard scene terminology for pirated movie releases: rip types (CAM, TELESYNC, TELECINE, SCREENER, DVDRip, etc.), disc/file formats (VCD, SVCD, DivX/XviD, DVD-R), release conventions (NFO, SFV, PAR files, RAR sets), and scene tags like PROPER, NUKED, REPACK, and INTERNAL. It reads as a house-keeping/education post meant to standardize how members labeled and understood movie posts on the forum, with staff (vermiLLion) later stepping in to make it a posting requirement. Low drama, high nostalgia — pure early-2010s 'scene' culture explained for a community that traded and rated pirated movie rips.

Ever seen some abbreviations at the end of movie titles and don't know their exact meaning? Well here is a small guide to them.— PopTart

Please use these when posting a movie to let other people know the quality of your post.— vermiLLion

Nice guide, ty!— lam3r

Lock the Mystery Box: a classic 'reply to unhide' Zombies tutorial thread

A Zombies mystery-box trick that had half the board replying just to unlock the spoiler tag

VIP member Fopje posted a Black Ops Zombies tutorial about locking the mystery box, but the actual content was hidden behind the forum's classic 'reply to see hidden content' wall. The thread quickly turned into a two-page parade of one-word 'thanks/ty/unhide' replies from members just trying to unlock the tip, a familiar ritual on Fkn0wned's tutorial boards. A few posters admitted they had no clue what the trick even was and were replying blind just to find out.

i have no idea what this is— d0t1q

Well this would be nice in a solo match! :D— Recon

Could You Crack This? — The KidsWatch Parental-Control Thread

A guy asks the forum to help his 'friend' beat her parents' monitoring software — and nobody buys the cover story for a second.

User 'Industry' opens a thread asking if anyone can defeat KidsWatch Time Control, supposedly on behalf of a female friend whose parents were installing it. The community immediately clocks the 'friend' excuse as a thin cover, then splits between mocking the request and actually engaging with it — offering everything from task-killing and registry edits to safe-mode boots, VB programs, and admin-account keylogging as theoretical workarounds. It's a classic fkn0wned mix of skepticism, dark humor, and genuine amateur technical one-upmanship, with a staff member ('miLLer') dropping the most direct 'just do it' answer near the end.

Theory, she is a he and he is you...— blacknight00

Come on man, this is a re-phrased request.— Peski-Ruski

Logon to admin account (by keylogger/guessing/use when dad is using it)... easy.— miLLer

Accuracy Improvement Script by SNK

A senior mod's first-ever CS:S config script promises the old 'slow down to spray better' trick, and the regulars ate it up.

SNK, a Legendary-ranked forum moderator, posted a Counter-Strike: Source console script (his self-described first attempt at scripting) that automatically lowered mouse sensitivity while firing and restored it afterward, aimed at helping players control spray patterns during close-quarters fights. He included usage notes and caveats about it not working for everyone, and posted the exec-file installation steps for the community's cfg-based setup. The thread got a warm, appreciative reception from a couple of regular members praising the release.

This is my first time scripting, be gentle :D— SNK

Omg snk Once again another well done script :D— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

thx im actually gna use this straight away EDIT: Works Perfectly!!!! Thank You— aimshot120

CS:S 'change players names' prop script

A tiny CS:Source scripting trick that renamed anyone dumb enough to shoot a prop — and the thread that turned into a decade of 'unhide' begging.

Damian9000z posted a small Counter-Strike: Source scripting snippet that spawned a prop and renamed any player who shot it to a joke message, offering it up humbly ('no one really deserves credit, it's EXTREMELY easy to make'). The actual code was hidden behind a forum [hide] tag, so most of the thread's life became a long parade of members just posting 'unhide' or short thanks to unlock it. It's a snapshot of the Scripting subforum's low-key, utility-sharing culture rather than any major drama — just regulars cycling through over months to grab a fun little script.

This script will create a small wall and anyone who shoots it will have their name changed to 'I shot a bugged prop!'— Damian9000z

no one really deserves credit because it is EXTREMELY easy to make— Damian9000z

JuanSource Strategy Compilation Archive

One rar file, every JuanSource strat ever posted — and half the forum just showed up to say 'unhide'.

A 2009 guides thread in the Counter-Strike: Source section where user Hatred! compiled a bundle of strategy write-ups and guides scraped from the old site Juansource.com into a single downloadable archive. The thread itself is mostly low-effort bumps from members thanking the poster or begging to 'unhide' the hidden download link, a classic pattern for hidden-content threads on forums like this. No real drama or debate, just a steady trickle of one-word replies over the following weeks showing how popular the compilation was.

A collection of all the best bits from Juansource.com in one Rar.— Hatred!

unhide— destruction

thanks for this— PopTart

[Tutorial] How to install material hacks! (CS:S Guides)

A five-line drag-and-drop guide that racked up nineteen pages of 'thnx' and 'unhide' spam

Long-time member Poppins posted a quick, casual tutorial on installing 'material hacks' for Counter-Strike: Source, essentially explaining how to drop a hacked materials folder into the game directory. The thread quickly became a low-effort reply farm typical of guide sections back then, with dozens of members chiming in with 'thnx', 'unhide', and other one-liners just to unlock the hidden download or bump their post count. A brief bit of banter broke out between Poppins and forum regular Afteryou over a sarcastic thank-you, and someone asked the inevitable 'is this undetectable?' question, getting a classic hedge of an answer. The page also carries a banner ad for 'Project-Win' private CSS hacks, a nod to the era's cheat-selling side economy.

yes totally undetectable! well unless you make it obvious.— Poppins

I was being sarcastic don't mind me but nice thx— Afteryou

Un detectable right?— goodman84

A guide to explain everything that Hackers and Crackers use

A hidden-content hacking glossary that kept members reply-hunting for reputation points a year later

VIP member Fopje posted a hidden-content tutorial thread meant to explain hacker/cracker terminology and tools, gated behind the classic forum trick of 'reply to unlock.' The thread ran for six pages and over a year (August 2010 into June 2011), with a steady stream of members dropping quick one-word 'thanks/unhide/ty' replies just to unlock the content rather than any real discussion. It's a good snapshot of the Computer Security and Hacking > Hacking Tutorials board's culture — low-effort bumping for access, VIP-tagged posters mixing with noobs, and members from all over (Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, Serbia, Belgium, Lithuania) all chasing the same guide.

Black Security Tool Pack (RS Link Dump)

One RapidShare link, an entire 2007 script-kiddie toolbox — RATs, keyloggers, binders, brute forcers, and the odd Sasser worm thrown in.

A 2007 post in the Programming subforum by user .Smurf sharing a massive compiled archive of hacking/security tools via a RapidShare link — trojans, keyloggers, binders, brute forcers, CGI scanners, virus builders, MSN hack tools, port scanners, and nukers/flooders, listed out in exhaustive CODE-block fashion. Classic era-appropriate 'skid toolkit' dump, the kind of megapack that circulated widely across cheat/hacking forums at the time. .Smurf posts under the Xfire handle 'acidvipez' and signs off with swagger. Notable mainly as a snapshot of the mid-2000s script-kiddie tool culture rather than for any drama.

I am your god.— .Smurf
