Super Bluetooth Hacker 1.8 release thread
The mid-2000s mobile 'hack' everyone downloaded to prank their buddy's phone over Bluetooth.
A 2007 Software subforum post shares 'Super Bluetooth Hacker 1.8', a J2ME phone app that could remotely read another phone's messages/contacts, play its ringtone or songs, and place calls once paired over Bluetooth. The thread is mostly a long chain of one-word 'thx'/'unhide' replies and mild curiosity, typical of file-sharing threads on the board. A staff member (AKULA) pops in asking about changing the language, and one user jokes that a friend uses the app to prank him constantly.
lol one of my buddies has this and keeps freakin bugging me with it..— Darkness
sounds very nice, ty— phoze
How do I change language?— AKULA
Rapid Leacher — the endless thank-you thread
Eight pages of members just saying 'ty' — the internet's oldest ritual, preserved in amber.
This is the tail end (page 8) of a long-running 'Rapid Leacher' thread in the Software subforum of Fkn0wned's Red Light District, where some kind of leech/downloading tool or method was shared. By this point the thread has devolved into the classic forum ritual: dozens of members dropping one-line replies of thanks ('ty', 'shweet', 'damn ty') to bump their post count and confirm the download worked. It's less about content and more a snapshot of the community rhythm — new members from late 2007 filing in to grab whatever was posted pages earlier.
Thank the lord for proxies.— XyHavix
I wonder if it still works.— Monkeygeek
ah this will speed things up— ttocszed
RapidLeecher Ultimate 2007 release thread
The tool everyone wanted for automating Rapidshare downloads back when bandwidth caps still ruled your life.
Staff member Sonikk posted a release thread for 'RapidLeecher Ultimate 2007,' a third-party tool built to automate downloading from Rapidshare (auto CAPTCHA solving, clipboard monitoring, proxy support for parallel downloads). The thread is a classic download-share post followed by two pages of one-line 'thanks'/'ty' replies from members, spanning October to November 2007. Nothing dramatic happened here — it's a snapshot of the era's file-sharing culture and the low-effort bump-and-thank posting style typical of software threads on the board.
Shit this is nice.. thanks u own— Wildchild
wow, fknign ace, thnx man— TAZZY123
ty soooooooooooooooooo much lol— Rwils20
Proxy List Script Request
pyeman drops a $200 proxy-list script and half the board just says thanks and bounces
A 2007 thread in the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates section where member pyeman shared a paid ($200-value) proxy list script similar to proxy.org, hidden behind a code tag with a Rapidshare link. The rest of the thread is mostly short replies from regulars thanking pyeman or asking to buy one, with a bit of chatter about proxies being slow. Typical low-effort bump-and-thanks thread from the site's file-sharing corner, notable mostly for the cast of old-guard '1K Club' members dropping by.
proxies are our friend =]— slingblade
most proxys are so slow— minitureman
lets spam for fkn!— banak
[MEGATHREAD] vBulletin - Everything You Need!
One nulled-forum starter pack to rule them all: skins, mods, and a shoutbox drama subplot.
A resource megathread posted by AcidViper in the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates section, bundling a nulled vBulletin 3.6.8 package with a huge pile of hacks/mods and a long list of forum skins (TrenZ, iSkin Black, Venise, Ambience, GreenFox, Aria, AfterDark, and dozens more from ExtremePixels and ForumThemes). A shoutbox add-on link died shortly after posting when its host site closed, prompting a minor scramble in the replies for a working mirror. The thread mostly settled into a long thank-you chain from members setting up their own forums, with a few confirming everything still worked as of late 2007.
Remember the forum uploaded is *NULLED*.— AcidViper
ty now i can begin to work with vbulliten and stop working with nuke, phpbb, and ipb— mystical1
Ive got the Inferno vbShout Pro!=D— InzaneHacker
Steam Achievement Manager 5.1 (posted by Pestilence)
The thread where fkn0wned traded TF2 hats and achievements for 'thanks OP' — Valve never even blinked.
A share thread in the Rebel Gaming subforum where longtime member Pestilence posted a tool for unlocking Steam achievements (and, notably, TF2 weapon drops) without playing for them. The replies are mostly the classic forum ritual of one-word 'thanks'/'unhide' posts from a cross-section of the community, plus a couple of members debating whether it still worked after a TF2 update and whether it risked a VAC ban. Low drama, high nostalgia — a snapshot of the site's give-away culture and its casual attitude toward Steam-side tweaking.
I just went ahead and tested it myself. All achievements granted and all new Soldier/Demoman weapons unlocked. ;)— Nikogromf
does not work, just crashes with any game i've tryed— noidea
idk if you can get VACd from this as it doesnt edit came.dlls :D— Slickz
ClientRegistryToolkit — Steam clientregistry.blob reader
A locked, 11-page relic where half the forum just showed up to say 'unhide'
RecoileZ posted a small tool for reading the clientregistry.blob file found in old Steam installs, admittedly unsure whether it exposed account info, framed casually as something knocked together rather than sought out from another user's account. The thread quickly turned into the classic hidden-content ritual: dozens of members posting 'unhide' or a one-word thanks just to unlock the download, with almost no real technical discussion beyond one member asking for details. It's a snapshot of Rebel Gaming's PC Gaming subforum in Feb 2008 — low-effort, high-traffic, and eventually locked after running 11 pages deep.
I was too lazy to ask some noob for one to get his account information but Im not sure it has the account information in it but when u try it tell me if it does.— RecoileZ
can explain more in details what does this thing do?— SnEaKyJoKER
yey ty exactly what i need— Rock Superstar
Crack an MD5 Hash Tutorial
The thread where Fkn0wned learned to break MD5 hashes wide open — and half the replies were just 'thanks bro'
Posted in the Tutorials subforum of the Red Light District, Darkcha0s (later hidden behind a spoiler tag) shared a guide on cracking MD5 password hashes. Staff member typeusernamehere chimed in with links to online hash-cracking lookup sites as a shortcut for single hashes. The thread mostly filled up with two pages of one-line 'thanks' and 'nice' replies typical of a popular utility post, plus the usual gallery of long-forgotten member handles and Xfire tags.
Awesome job on this one Dark— Don Ruski
www.passcracking.com www.plain-text.info Two good online MD5 Cracking sites plus searches for previously cracked ones.— typeusernamehere
I got some hash pw that is like impossible to crack— lragnarok11
How to Piss Off Someone in Xfire
SubZero's classic hide-tag prank tutorial that had half the forum begging to 'unhide'
A short, goofy tutorial thread from August 2007 where user SubZero posted a prank/joke guide for annoying people over Xfire (the old gamer chat client), locked behind the forum's classic 'reply to see hidden content' trick. Most of the replies are just members posting 'unhide' or 'ty' to unlock the content, plus a few one-liners of approval once they saw it. Low-stakes, low-effort fun typical of the Tutorials subforum — more about the ritual of unlocking hidden content than the prank itself.
hope you like it.— SubZero
thanks it worked with. Also the part with when I said cyber sex..yeah...STFU.— SubZero
actually that does piss me off when it happens— HaSh
Using Google to Find Phishing Logs
A hide-and-reply tutorial thread where the real content is long gone, but the reply-farming ritual lives forever
A June 2009 tutorial post by cjainy on Fkn0wned's Tutorials board, explaining how to use Google to locate phishing logs — the actual content was hidden behind a 'reply to unlock' wall, a common tactic on the forum to farm post counts and engagement. The thread devolved almost immediately into a wall of one-word 'unhide'/'ty'/'lol' replies from members just trying to unlock the hidden text, with barely any real discussion. One member, Jawn, briefly asked a substantive question about how phishing logs are identified, but it went unanswered amid the noise.
unhide— blast3r
How do you know what the phising logs go to?— Jawn
qwtkbnjgbeikgnqegnwolrmh— Tomppa
How To Really Bypass Rapidshare Limitations
A hidden-content tutorial that turned into a two-month chorus of 'unhide' and 'ty'
A classic Tutorials-forum post from thejah promising a real fix for Rapidshare's download-speed limits, gated behind the forum's 'reply to see hidden content' system. The thread mostly consists of members replying just to unlock the content, plus a few quick reports that it worked (or briefly didn't). It ran from October 2009 into November, picking up stragglers weeks later still saying thanks — a good little snapshot of how these download-era tutorial threads functioned as engagement bait as much as actual help.
it works for me so ur trippin— thejah
Omagod!! No wai!!— PaynE
chk it dwnl speeds 200/kbs+— thejah
Repost of the Steam Phishing Page Tutorial
A reposted phishing tutorial that mostly just farmed 'unhide' replies for a decade-old rep grind
A VIP member named Niceyyyys reposted a tutorial on building a fake Steam login page, framed as 'for people who don't already know how.' A veteran member immediately pointed out these guides were already common on the board, but the thread carried on regardless, filling up with dozens of low-effort 'unhide/ty' replies typical of hidden-content tutorial threads on fkn0wned, where users had to post to unlock attached files. It's a fairly ordinary artifact of the site's Tutorials section — more notable for the community ritual around it than the content itself.
There are so many of these already, i think we know how to make them.— TheGrapist
hmm better not be virus— Nickiller007
THANKS YOU IT WHAT I BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!!!— silvercola
Increase FPS using Registry Key
A hidden registry tweak promised free FPS — half the forum showed up just to say 'unhide'
A classic Tutorials-section thread from May 2007 where forum regular DCLXVI posted a hidden-content registry tweak claiming it boosted their FPS from 70 to 90. As was typical on fkn0wned, the hidden content required a reply to unlock, so the thread quickly filled with low-effort 'unhide' and 'lets see' posts from members chasing the trick rather than discussing it. A few people who actually tried it reported it didn't work, and the thread trails off into shrugs about hardware differences.
This worked for me... This increased my FPS from 70 to 90— DCLXVI
hmm didnt work for me dk, might just be my hardware...— ballistic
it should increase mine from 20 to 40? lol— AKULA
How to Get Any Genuine Game CD Key (Reply-to-Unlock Bait Thread)
One hidden post, twenty members begging "unhide" — classic Fkn0wned tutorial bait.
A December 2007 tutorial thread in the Tutorials board where user xDEADFAMOUSx posted a hidden guide claiming to explain how to obtain genuine game CD keys, viewable only after replying. The thread quickly filled with members posting one-word replies like "unhide" or "show" just to unlock the content, a very typical forum-reply-gating pattern of the era. Little actual discussion happened beyond the reply-to-unlock ritual, with a few members expressing excitement or mild disappointment about the payoff.
works for me sunshire.... i have shit load of photos of cd keys from blocky b's F— xDEADFAMOUSx
unhide plz i LOVE U!!!— lordofrum
Bah, You got my Hopes up.— semper
How To Make Your Own Radarhack (CS reply-to-unlock classic)
A 2007 'radarhack' tutorial that mostly just farmed replies to unlock hidden content
In this Tutorials-section thread from November 2007, forum addict DCLXVI posted a guide claiming to teach members how to build their own Counter-Strike radar hack, explicitly noting it wasn't 'vac2proof.' As was typical for the era, the actual content was locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall, so most of the thread is just members posting quick thanks, jokes, and demands to 'unhide' the goods rather than technical discussion. A couple stragglers trickled in as late as February 2008, showing the thread had staying power as a bump-for-content classic.
why the fuck cant the crew auto see unhide...— PaRaNoID
unhide u stupid bitch j/k i luv u <333— pancake1224
Note: This is not vac2proof.— DCLXVI
Scam WoW Accounts Guide (2009)
A World of Warcraft account-scamming 'guide' that had half the forum lining up to say 'unhide' and 'ty'
In October 2009, member majrbrawl posted a hidden tutorial claiming a '95% success rate' method for scamming World of Warcraft accounts from other players. The thread quickly filled with the classic forum-tutorial ritual of members replying just to unlock the hidden content, mostly one-word 'ty'/'unhide' posts. One member, triplem, pushed back with a mild moral objection to scamming, but was largely ignored amid the crowd chasing the reveal. It's a small, typical snapshot of the site's Tutorials section and its account/item-scamming culture of the era.
Heres my way of getting wow accounts off suckers.— majrbrawl
Am I the only one who disagree's with scamming regardless of who it is?— triplem
unhide u dog ;p— Fknz0ned
[TUT] RAPIDSHARE HacK 16 download methods
The classic 'hide your content behind a reply' tutorial that everyone clicked and half the replies just say 'thanks'
A tutorials-board post by longtime member misterfopje promising 16 methods for getting around RapidShare's download limits, gated behind the forum's reply-to-unlock 'Hide' feature. The replies are the real artifact here — a string of low-effort 'thanks', 'ty', and one blunt 'hide = horse guano' from a skeptical newer member, plus a couple of curious members literally saying 'i wanna see' and 'unhideee'. Pretty typical mid-tier tutorial thread for the era, more notable for the community ritual around it than the content itself.
hide = horse guano— shadoze
i wanna see— rogier
unhideee— prowler.inc
Caller-ID Spoofing Tutorial (2009)
A 2009 caller-ID spoofing tutorial that racked up two decades' worth of "unhide" and "ty" replies
Posted in the Tutorials section in April 2009 by The Thief Lord, this thread shared a hidden guide/link for spoofing caller ID so calls could appear to come from any number. As was typical of the forum's hidden-content format, most of the thread is just a long chain of members posting 'unhide', 'thanks', or similar one-liners to unlock the content rather than real discussion. It's a small, low-drama slice of the site's prank/tutorial culture, notable mainly for the sheer volume of low-effort bump replies from a wide cast of regulars.
ive been into this for awhile... link/description below— The Thief Lord
unhide— GoldRenamon
lol thanks— Hatred!
Guitar Tabs for 'Rock On!!' (Bollywood Soundtrack)
A Fkn0wned regular takes a break from the usual chaos to teach the forum how to play a Bollywood rock anthem on guitar.
In the Tutorials section, longtime member kelton shared self-worked-out guitar tabs and chords for a song from the Indian film 'Rock On!!', including a homemade recording of himself playing and singing the intro. He was upfront that this wasn't the 'official' tab, just his own interpretation, and only covered part of the song due to time constraints. A moderator note shows the thread got tidied up to comply with the forum's link-coding rules, a small glimpse of the site's everyday housekeeping.
Ive tried out the new song ROCk ON... beautiful song really.— kelton
Now i dont claim this is the original used, this is just how i play it. So be subtle in your responses...— kelton
All links must be coded - including internal links— Zenova
How to Obtain YouTube Views and Comments
A hidden-content YouTube views hookup that kept 79+ leechers saying 'ty' for over half a year straight.
Member G_A posted a tip found on another forum about a site selling YouTube view counts and subscribers, gated behind hidden-content tags so replies were required to unlock it. The thread lived in the 'Tutorials' section under General Leechers Galore and became a classic low-effort bump thread, running from October 2010 through at least May 2011 with dozens of members dropping single-word replies ('ty', 'check', 'unhide') just to reveal the link. It's a good snapshot of the forum's leech culture and the era's YouTube-metrics-boosting hustle scene.
Site I found on another forum was noted, for selling view counts and subscribers.— G_A
Well i could use this on my dubstep vids! Thanks!— Recon
I hope it works. Thanks.— John
How to Memorize ANYTHING: a classic 'reply to unhide' rep-farming ritual
A self-help memory tutorial buried behind the classic 'reply to unhide' wall, farmed for +rep by two dozen bored members
Forum admin ap3x posted a memory-improvement tutorial in the Tutorials section, gated behind hidden-content-unlocks-on-reply, with the customary plea to '+rep me if this helped.' The thread devolved almost immediately into a long chain of one-word 'unhide' and 'thanks' replies from members just trying to unlock the content, plus some light joking about not wanting to actually put in effort to learn anything. Pure early-2010s forum-tutorial ritual: content nobody reads, replies nobody means, all in service of unlocking a spoiler tag and padding post counts.
Please +rep me if this helped! :)— ap3x
sounds good hopefully it doesnt include working for it :p— Nickiller007
Need moar memory!— PurePwnage99
How to Dual-Boot Mac OSX 10.4.6 on a PC (Hackintosh Tutorial)
The classic 'hackintosh' tutorial that got more shrugs than downloads
A 2007 tutorial thread in the Red Light District's Tutorials subforum about dual-booting Mac OSX 10.4.6 on a regular PC (the 'osx86' hackintosh scene of the era). The OP opens with a legal disclaimer about EULA restrictions before diving into the how-to, and the replies are mostly short, low-effort reactions from members saying they'd like to try it, that it worked poorly, or that Mac just wasn't their thing. Pretty typical of the forum's tutorial threads: a decent OSX86-era topic that fizzled into one-liners rather than real discussion.
Been there done that, wasn't that great.— lol
MAC sucks imo.— [LiP]STicK.
This better be about pizza— Igot2balls
iStealer 6 Tutorial
The classic 'stolen from Hackforums' tutorial drop that everyone thanked and nobody credited
Admin ap3x reposted a Hackforums guide for setting up iStealer 6, a password-stealer tool of the era, walking through hosting a PHP panel and building the stub. The thread is a typical hidden-content tutorial post: quick admin drop, a wave of 'thanks' replies, some ribbing that it was basically unchanged from iStealer 5, and a note that a newer 6.1 version already existed. Low drama, high nostalgia — a snapshot of the casual malware-tool-sharing culture that filled the Tutorials board.
(stolen from Hackforums ;))— ap3x
lulz pretty much the same as iS5 :D but ty!— lam3r
there is allready 6.1 :D— prowler.inc
How to Start Coding and Crypting: A Newbie's Guide from the Old Guard
A newbie asks how to get into coding and crypting — and the old guard hands him a mini programming-languages 101.
Member Emrys, a longtime Graphics Crew member, asks the Support board for advice on getting started with coding and 'crypting' and learning more about computers generally. Replies range from the classic 'google it' to a genuinely thorough breakdown from lam3r comparing PHP, Java, C/C++/C#, and Visual Basic, noting that popular crypters of the era mixed C++ stubs with VB GUIs. Admin ap3x chimes in recommending books alongside Google, name-dropping learning iPhone coding that way. A calm, helpful little snapshot of the forum's tech-support culture and the crypting/coding subculture around it.
Google is your best friend, although books are a great resource they are a bit dull.— ap3x
crypting is quite difficult and for experienced programmers only in my opinion (if you ever want a truly FUD crypter...)— lam3r
google and books has taught me everything. networking is a good place to start.— lulraep
Localization Files (Kill Messages and Shit) - BF2 Text Mod
The guy who renamed every gun in Battlefield 2 for 'accuracy' and made the QUIT button say RUN HOME TO MOMMA
A member called Visual0n! posted a custom BF2 localization file pack that reskinned weapon and vehicle names for realism/accuracy, added highlighted teamkill messages, tweaked map briefings, and threw in a bunch of joke text changes (renamed buttons, radio chatter lines, punish/forgive messages). It's a classic small-scene client-tweak share thread, credited to a few other named tinkerers, with a short handful of replies ranging from cautious interest to enthusiastic thanks. One reply asks the practical question of whether it'll work on pure servers, hinting at the era's server-integrity concerns.
The idiot will be sodomized with a retractable baton.— Visual0n!
QUIT Buttons now reads "RUN HOME TO MOMMA"— Visual0n!
you can't play on pure servers with this can you?— doobie5
Serial King V2.1 release thread
A member's homemade Visual Basic tool for crowdsourcing software serials, complete with a YouTube tutorial and a two-guy credit split.
In the Software subforum of the Red Light District section, member Nathan2005 released version 2.1 of his self-coded program 'Serial King,' an FTP-powered app for sharing software serial numbers, built with help from a member called Vegeta. The post lays out changelog notes (new interfaces, popups, installer, faster FTP), addresses anticipated user complaints about viruses and connectivity, and asks the community to be patient since it was an early release. It's a snapshot of the DIY, homebrew-tool culture of the forum's 'Red Light District' — small-time devs building and sharing their own little utilities for internet points and community goodwill.
serial king is powered by FTP and made by Visual Basic, i have spent quite alot of time making— Nathan2005
special thanks to Vegeta, he released his serial thing so he gave me the idea— Nathan2005
please dont post comments like rubbish ect, please let the program develop and spread it as much as you can— Nathan2005
Password^Stealer Release Thread
A 12-page password-stealer release thread that's basically just a wall of 'thanks', 'unhide', and one guy's Kaspersky catching it as a trojan.
This was a long-running release thread in the Red Light District > Software section of Fkn0wned.com, centered on a piece of software dubbed 'Password^Stealer'. The vast majority of visible replies are the classic forum-download ritual: members posting 'unhide', 'thanks', or 'ty' to reveal hidden download links, with a scattering of confusion over file errors and at least one member reporting their antivirus flagged the tool as a trojan. It captures the everyday texture of a mid-2000s 'warez/cheat scene' board — low-effort bumping, Xfire handles in signatures, and rank titles like Noob, Trained Noob, and Pro Spammer.
'tis a trojan, thats what my kaspersky said to me— Anexxion
why is it all file uploaders are banned? <--my head right now— adrienspawn
why does it say file is corupt and and it has like copy to clipboard and close and something else?????????? what do i do this progman sounds cool— SansabaDawg
iPod Themes! (5G/5.5G Firmware & Custom Skins Thread)
Back when your iPod Video was your other computer — custom firmware, Scarface skins, and a Windows Vista theme with 'game support'
A 2007 Red Light District > Software thread where LoRd Ragealot shared custom firmware and theme downloads for 5th/5.5th generation iPod Videos, along with a guide for telling the two hardware revisions apart (and a warning not to mix up firmware between them). Includes screenshots of themes like a Scarface skin and a Vista-style interface, all pointing to third-party tools like iPodWizard. A handful of members drop in with quick thanks, giving it that classic low-key appreciation-thread vibe of the era.
DO NOT USE 5.5G FIRMWARE FOR A 5G IPOD OR VICE VERSA OR U WILL HAVE TO REFORMAT IPOD.— LoRd Ragealot
thankz anarchie65, what would i do without you— necroviz
Thx man <3333— InzaneHacker
Hacking Into a Computer [With Pictures]
A 2008 NetBIOS 'tutorial' that had half the board begging to unhide it
In the Software subforum of Red Light District, member dark_skillz posted a tutorial about NetBIOS hacking on local networks, referencing Cain and Abel as a tool, with the actual steps hidden behind a spoiler/reply-to-unlock wall. The thread quickly filled with members asking to 'unhide' the content and a scattering of casual replies, plus one member (Stev0) noting the technique only worked on LAN/WAN, not over the internet as some might assume. It's a classic snapshot of the era's low-effort 'hidden tutorial' posting style and the community's eagerness to see gated content.
Good tut but people guna think you can hack through ip's lol when this is only for LAN & WAN.— Stev0
unhide— xpro0fx
show plz and ty— Rose
Find Any Crack Or Serial Within 15 Seconds
A mod's 'best tool ever' for finding cracks and serials turns into a slow-burn thread of thank-yous, virus warnings, and shrugging reassurances.
A Super Moderator, DCLXVI, posted a hidden-content download claiming to find cracks or serial keys for any software, OS, or game within seconds. The thread ran for weeks and drew dozens of replies, split between members casually thanking the poster or requesting to 'unhide' the content, and others flagging it as containing spyware or viruses. No real resolution was reached — some called it safe, others warned it wasn't, and the thread just kept accumulating 'thx' and 'unhide' posts long after the original warnings.
This Is The Only Best Tool I Think, By which You Can Find Any Crack Or Serial Key Within 15 sec.— DCLXVI
THIS HAS VIRUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— adamdafoo
This has Spyware.AIMMON Actually only the Yahoomonitor file does.— Schwergangig
How to Crash Someone in Game via Xfire
A classic hidden-content bait thread — everyone just wants the 'unhide' to see if it actually works
Posted in Fkn0wned's 'Random Tuts' subforum back in late 2007, this thread shared a supposed trick for crashing another player's game through Xfire, the once-popular gamer chat/voice client. As was typical of the era, the original post's content was likely hidden behind a spoiler tag, prompting a long chain of members simply replying 'unhide' to reveal it rather than discussing whether the method worked. One user jokingly called out the OP for accidentally sending them the link over Xfire itself, and another noted an 'Xfire spammer' already loose on the site — a small glimpse of the low-stakes chaos and inside jokes of the board.
unhide, lol.. You gave me the link through xfire lol— banak
theres an xfire spammer somewhere on this site already...— zubetube
This is realy funny to do, but it dosent work to all. try find someone whit a crappy computer.— asshoel50
How to Make a Real and Fake Virus In under 3 Minutes
A prank batch file gets called a 'virus' and the whole thread argues about it while everyone downloads it anyway
Posted by PaRaNoID in the Random Tuts sub-board of Off-Topic, this September 2007 thread offered a couple of hidden YouTube links purporting to show how to make a 'fake' and a 'real' virus in minutes. It drew a long string of thank-you posts and lulz reactions typical of Fkn0wned's Off-Topic tutorial culture, plus one dissenting member who called out that a simple batch file doesn't actually qualify as a virus. Classic mid-2000s cheat-forum energy: low-effort script kiddie content, big engagement, and a pedant correcting the terminology in the replies.
This better not be a batch file. EDIT: Yep..it is :\— lol
What language, and does it spread? If not, it's not a "virus"... A batch file is not a virus. Never type a sentence with both "batch" and "virus" EVER again.— Kayos
Real easy and fun to watch ppl flip out when they open them— PaRaNoID
How to Steal Website Bandwidth
A 2007 'tutorial' thread that mostly ended with everyone else calling it useless
A Random Tuts thread from December 2007 where MicroUltra posted a guide claiming to show how to steal bandwidth from websites. Dozens of members chimed in mostly just to say 'unhide' to reveal the hidden tutorial text, a common ritual on this forum for spoiler-tagged posts. Skepticism followed quickly, with members like ballistic and nerfmagez openly mocking the method as ineffective, comparing it to picking dust off a Walmart floor and calling it not real theft at all. The thread is a good snapshot of the forum's Off-Topic tutorial culture: low-effort 'leet' posturing met with blunt community fact-checking.
you realize that will barely do _anything_— ballistic
That isn't stealing any bandwith. Thats like if I said I stole from Walmart and then I picked up the dust off the ground and walked out.— nerfmagez
Sucks. Wow.. So fail..— The Moose
Stealing Steam Accounts [TUTORIAL]
A phishing-style Steam account tutorial that everyone swore had already been posted 40 times before
A member named Rebelz posted a tutorial on obtaining other people's Steam accounts in the Random Tuts subforum, which drew a mix of shrugs and mild praise from regulars who claimed the same guide had circulated many times already. One member, Lunatix, chimed in with real-time 'edit' updates claiming success obtaining working accounts and asking if he could get in trouble. Staff members Laptops and HaSh (Supervisor) both weighed in approvingly, with Laptops also using the reply to remind the poster about forum rules on hiding tutorial content behind spoiler/code tags. The thread is a small time capsule of the site's casual attitude toward account theft tutorials as everyday content.
Pretty sure every1 here knew how to do that plus there are like 100 tuts on it this is better than most tho— hEndr!x
yes this tutorial is posted like 40 times on here, but this one has more detail then any others, thanks for posting.— HaSh
I got 2 accounts out of the 10 i did this do is there any chance i will get introuble?— Lunatix
The RuneScape Phishing Guide Thread
A 'guild' typo, a hidden phishing tutorial, and two months of forum kids just replying 'unhide plz'
Posted in late 2007 in the Random Tuts subforum, this thread offered a hidden step-by-step guide for phishing RuneScape accounts, framed by the OP as a way to mess with players of the game. It ran for about two months into early 2008, mostly filling up with low-effort replies from members asking to 'unhide' the content, thanking the OP, or cracking jokes about hating RuneScape and wanting to annoy its players. It's a pretty typical snapshot of the era's cheat/tut forum culture — a spam-thanks thread around a phishing tutorial rather than any real discussion.
i hate rs, but i love to piss off the noobs who pl...— anthrax_hax

How to merge rars with jpegs
The old 'hide a rar inside a jpg' trick, dusted off in Fkn0wned's Random Tuts corner
A July 2007 post in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum shared (and admittedly borrowed, 'not mine') a tutorial on hiding a RAR archive inside a JPEG image using the command prompt. Reception was mild and typical of the era's tut threads — a few short replies of casual approval from regulars, with no real drama attached. It's a small snapshot of the file-hiding/steganography-style tricks that circulated on cheat-scene forums at the time.
This tut is designed to show you how to put a rar file into a jpg so you can send someone hidden files.— CrimsonRain
ok lets see that— souler
lookd good— Sammo
How to Create, Make Undetectable, Bind and Send a Keylogger
A 14-page tutorial thread on keyloggers that kept limping along for months, complete with a YouTube demo pulled for 'use violation'
This was a long-running tutorial thread in the Off-Topic > Random Tuts subforum, originally started by ericsme123, walking members through building and disguising a keylogger. By the time of this final page (page 14) the thread had mostly devolved into stragglers requesting the hidden download link, replying 'unhide' to unlock the content, or thanking the OP. A member named Rose noted the linked YouTube demo video had already been taken down for a terms-of-use violation, and another member joked the OP should've included a binder tool with it.
i need this— MeTaLn2
hope you posted a binder...— Dismal
YOUTUBE SHUT DOWN THIS VID DUE TO USE VIOLATION SO NO NEED TO VIEW.— Rose
COD4 Multiplayer Crack Thread (2007)
The one where fkn0wned tried to crack its way onto CoD4 multiplayer servers
A late-2007 thread in the Games subforum where user Ray Teh Ak shared a multiplayer (and single-player) crack for the freshly-released Call of Duty 4, with a heads-up that cracked copies could only connect to private/cracked servers, complete with links to server-finding sites. The replies are mostly short thank-yous and 'me too' posts from other members grabbing the crack. Typical low-effort, high-traffic filesharing thread for a hot new release, with a couple of since-banned members (Olie22, daxsmoke) chiming in among the crowd.
if you guys can't play multiplayer, i found this crack - also a single-player crack— Ray Teh Ak
oh and you can only play on cracked servers of course, if you didn't already know— Ray Teh Ak
thank you its greatly appreciated!— godofwhore
NIX's 'Full Security' Megatopic — Cracked Antivirus/Firewall Bundle (2009)
One password-locked megathread, every big-name antivirus of 2009 cracked and bundled — Avast to ZoneAlarm, all in one download.
A megatopic posted by veteran uploader NIX in the Warez > Security Tools subforum, consolidating cracked/pre-activated versions of nearly every major antivirus, firewall, and security utility circa 2009 (Avast, AVG, BitDefender, ESET NOD32, F-Secure, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, Panda, ZoneAlarm, plus firewalls and cleanup tools like HiJackThis, Ad-Aware, Spybot). The post used the forum's classic hide-tag format requiring a reply or password to reveal the file links, hosted on Uploading.com. The replies are almost entirely one-word 'thanks/unhide/ty' bumps from members over several months (March–June 2009), typical of the low-effort gratitude culture around these download megathreads.
Thanks alot , unhide— paradoxizff
oh snap :rolleyes:— HotCoCo
thanks nix— joeym0nk
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 Cracking Method
The forum's answer to a $40 antivirus license: a keygen, safe mode, and a lot of ALL CAPS instructions.
A Warez > Security Tools thread where member -Alex posted a step-by-step method claiming to fully crack ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 (9.1) for both XP and Windows 7/Vista users, sourced from a download he'd grabbed off warez-bb.org. The post bundles rapidshare links to the installer, a keygen, and a file-unlocking utility, plus registry/permissions tweaks meant to let the cracked install keep updating without reverting to trial mode. It's a classic slice of the site's Red Light District warez culture — bravado ('so if you tell me it's a virus, on your bike'), a demand for thanks, and an offhand credit to an unnamed original author whose name -Alex couldn't recall.
So if you tell me its virus, on your bike.— -Alex
You cant imagine how long time i spend to complete this threat... pls do that!— -Alex
Credits to the original dude, cant remember his name lawl.— -Alex
wifite Tool Share Thread
A VIP drops the wifi-cracking tool of the moment, and half the forum just shows up to say 'ty'
VIP member Fopje posted a share of wifite, a tool for attacking multiple WEP/WPA wireless networks at once, in the Security Tools section, with the actual content locked behind a 'reply to unlock' wall. Mod NIX jokingly needled Fopje to write a proper tutorial, and Fopje replied that his tool posts were aimed at people who already knew what they were doing. From there the thread devolved into the classic forum-drive-by pattern: dozens of members posting one-word 'ty'/'thx'/'+rep' replies just to unlock the hidden download, a good snapshot of how content-gating shaped activity on Fkn0wned.
u should write a tut explaining to people how to run this... although it's a pretty useful tool although I doubt it gets that much of a good result tbh— [FkN] NIX
The tools i post here are more for the people who know how to work with it, later on i will maybe write some tuts about it,— [VIP] Fopje
ya plz— ZeRo^
Kaspersky 'Lifetime' Beta-Key Activation Tutorial
The old trick to trick Kaspersky into thinking you were part of its beta program — free 'genuine' keys forever, or at least until you had to redo it every month
A 2009 Warez > Security Tools thread where user agentofheart posted a heavily illustrated tutorial (plus two alternate patch tools) claiming to give Kaspersky Internet Security/Antivirus a perpetual 'Beta' activation by editing a registry value, alongside Rapidshare links to the software itself. The OP credited the trick to a user named Teckkie and mentioned a rival patch by riodude that some worried was flagged as a trojan. It got a modest string of 'thanks' replies, a mod nudge to move it to the right subforum, and later a report from ImHunter that the trick stopped working after a month, followed by a workaround.
Tricks the Kaspersky servers into thinking YOU are part of the beta program and gives you a free key every time you need it!— agentofheart
please post in right spot /moved— PopTart
after 1 month, I dont have it anymore, the activate beta license again. it only worked 1 time— ImHunter
Lag Script (CS:S troll autoexec)
One dude's troll script to make your model jump around like garbage — the whole board said 'ty' and ran with it for months
Inferno_Scripts posted a small CS:S autoexec script that intentionally wrecked your own net rates to make your player model jumpy/laggy on demand, toggled with F1, pitched more as a joke/confusion tool than an actual cheat. The thread ran from November 2007 into March 2008 across multiple pages, mostly filled with one-word thanks, 'unhide' posts to reveal spoiler-hidden content, and a few people questioning the point of it or reporting it didn't work. It's a pretty representative slice of the era's script-sharing culture — low effort, high volume, everyone just grabbing the file and bailing.
how the hell would this be usefull?— darkfin2323
heh. USEFUL = CONFUSION = PWNAGE— -Darkness-
Doesn't work. It says: Unknown command ]lagOn— Siemen
Hidden Trojan/Virus Thread Turns Into a Months-Long 'Unhide' Spam Fest
A guy posts a hidden 'trojan/virus' download and half the forum spends months just typing 'unhide' to see it.
A member named prinz opened a thread in the Technology > Computers General board offering some kind of hidden trojan/virus content for anyone who wanted to 'control your own trojan or virus', hidden behind forum spoiler tags. The thread ran for months (Jan-Oct 2007) and stretched across multiple pages, but almost the entire reply chain is just members posting 'unhide', 'thanks', or one-liners to unlock the hidden content rather than any real discussion. A few posters (conTagious, frozenfire, 'lol') were skeptical or called it out as sketchy/low-effort, and one coder ([FkN] Coders member Gate Guardian) accused it of being a copy-pasted tutorial.
probebly sux but hey.. *edit* yep it sux. crapwar...— conTagious
Awesome how you didn't give any info— lol
Your tutorials are epic copy&pasta— Gate Guardian
No More Proxies Needed
A late-2007 thread where half the forum just showed up to say 'thx' and unhide the goods
A long-running Computers General thread on Fkn0wned.Com offering some kind of proxy-related resource, judging by the title and the wall of one-line 'unhide'/'thx' replies needed to reveal hidden content. This page captures the thread's tail end (posts #41-56, spanning October to December 2007), packed with the classic forum ritual of members posting throwaway thanks purely to unlock a hidden download or list. The replies are mostly noise — Xfire handles, joke locations, random one-liners — rather than substantive discussion, giving a good snapshot of the low-effort 'unhide' culture common on cheat/warez boards of that era.
this is pretty much like "your freedom"— Paws
but proxies are our friend— slingblade
DANG DUDE LIKE SMOOTH— zubetube
rhcp09219's Proxy List
One member's giant proxy dump kept this thread alive for months — mostly so people could get around porn filters.
A member named hEndr!x (posting under the handle rhcp09219) dropped a large list of proxies in June 2007, framed jokingly as being for 'hacking pr0n.' The thread became a slow-burn classic, with new members trickling in for months (June through October 2007) just to say thanks, ask if the list still worked, or bump it back to life. It's a low-drama, high-nostalgia utility thread typical of mid-2000s forum culture — no big blowups, just a shared resource everyone quietly appreciated.',
here it is boys have fun hacking pr0n lol— hEndr!x
they stillwork?— exora
I really need this, thank you.— mystical1
SE Guide: Scamming a Free Magic-Flight Vaporizer Replacement
A guide for talking your way into a free replacement vaporizer — plus the golden rule: never copy the script word-for-word.
A tutorial thread in the 'Social Engineering' forum where user SeVapes posted a method (later edited out 'until SE cools down') aimed at getting a Magic-Flight Launch Box vaporizer replaced/refunded through persuasion rather than an actual defect. The bulk of the thread is the usual wave of one-word 'ty' replies from members grabbing the guide, with a few asking for photos or expressing hope it would work. SeVapes later chimed back in advising people to personalize their story rather than copy his script verbatim, a recurring theme in these SE tutorial threads.
removing method until SE cools down.— SeVapes
change your story ---- be original. Do not saturate this- my mflb is actually sitting on a little book in my closet right now, so good luck adding minor, not relevant details is also key for a good SE— SeVapes
if this works ill be reaaaal happy— SEB0ss
Call of Duty 4 Single Player No CD/DVD Fix
A low-post-count newbie drops a CoD4 no-disc fix, and the forum immediately questions his credibility
A brand-new member with only a handful of posts posted a file swap meant to let Call of Duty 4's single player run without the game disc inserted. The thread's real content is the classic low-trust exchange that followed: a regular openly doubted the poster because of his low post count, prompting a curt 'then don't' reply, while others chimed in with one-word thanks, dead-link reports, and a couple of stragglers still asking years later if it worked. It's a small, unremarkable but very representative slice of the forum's day-to-day traffic in game cracks and tweaks.
hmmmm...u only have 6 posts...im not sure if i should trust u— chargedwarrior
Uhm... then don't?— snapple112
does it still work— Afkbowflexin

A locked-out noob, a Windows exploit tutorial, and a nitpick about the one detail everyone missed
A member named spudon8tr got locked out of their own Windows 7 account after forgetting a password they'd set, and asked Tech Support for a fix that didn't require downloading anything (since they were stuck on a guest account). Forum regulars including pikachu and duckbutta offered basic suggestions before veteran lulraep laid out a detailed sticky-keys/login-bypass method using a bootable Ophcrack disc, earning rep points from staff like Kimmi and ap3x for the writeup. The thread closes on a bit of comic irony when Benja_ori points out the fix still required downloading something despite the original constraint, which lulraep waves off with 'use a friend's computer.'
i've been away for a while, and i came back to my computer and realized i put a password on.. aannd forgot it x(— spudon8tr
so, use a friend's computer? common sense really.— lulraep
damn beat me to it— ap3x
Invision Power Board v2.3.1 Nulled Release
A cracked copy of the forum software itself, dropped by the site's own co-manager.
In the Scripts & Templates subforum of the Red Light District, longtime co-manager Shifty posted a nulled (cracked) release of Invision Power Board v2.3.1, the same bulletin board software Fkn0wned itself ran on. The thread drew a steady trickle of thanks and casual chatter over a couple of days, plus a brief bit of forum housekeeping debate about whether the post belonged under 'Scripts' rather than 'Templates' since it wasn't really a template. One user reported an error trying to get it running, but otherwise it's a low-drama, typical release-and-thanks thread from the site's software-piracy corner.
shouldn't this be under "scripts" its not rly a template is it?— Paws
weird, i always get a error when setting this up— crad
thanx alot— K0K41N
