1800 PHP Scripts Megapack

One Rager dumps a giant categorized list of 1800 PHP scripts, forum says thanks for pages

A member of the [Rager] group posted a massive categorized index of PHP script types (everything from ad management to XML tools) in the Scripts & Templates subforum of the Red Light District section. The thread is mostly a resource drop followed by a long string of one-line 'thanks' replies from members trying it out. Typical low-drama utility thread from the site's webmaster/coding-resource corner circa late 2007.

gonna try this one...— kornyMF

CPL/CEVO CS 1.6 GUI Rate-Fix Configs (SNK)

The GUI tool that let old-school CS 1.6 grinders dial in their rates for CPL and CEVO in a couple clicks.

A utility-share thread from October 2009 in the Counter Strike 1.6 subforum, where longtime staffer SNK dropped two downloadable GUI tools (a 'CPL CS 1.6 GUI' and a 'CEVO-CS-1.6-GUI') meant to help players fix their network rate settings for competitive league play. The links were hidden behind the forum's reply-to-unlock system, which is reflected in a string of short 'unhide'/'thanks' replies rather than real discussion. It's a low-drama, purely functional thread typical of the Downloads/tools culture on the site — quick community gratitude, no controversy.

Helps alot in counterstrike 1.6,fix's your rates also.— SNK

unhide— daniiels

ill get cpl, ta— SteamHacker

Rcon Password Grabber [Mani\ES Exploit]

A little Mani Admin Plugin + EventScripts trick that whispered a CSS server's original rcon password back to you in-game

In this Scripts/Tools post from December 2009, member darksoul32 shared a script exploiting Mani Admin Plugin and EventScripts on Counter-Strike: Source servers to reveal a server's original rcon_password to an admin who already had full access. It was posted as a neat trick rather than a practical tool, since the poster already had rcon access via Mani anyway. Replies were mixed and low-key — a few members said it didn't work for them, one said it did, and another joked their hopes had been raised for nothing. Small, quick thread typical of the era's server-side script tinkering.

Useless since you have ma_rcon but hell its still good to know the original rcon_password right?— darksoul32

You had my hopes up :( lol, Thanks for the tip though.— subzer00

it worked for me.:)— Clafiey

No Flash by Q-bA11

One tiny script to kill flashbang blindness — and 70+ replies of 'unhide', 'thanks', and one legendary flashbang rant

A long-running Scripting subforum thread centered on a simple CS 1.6 script by Q-bA11 that removed the flashbang whiteout effect. By this fourth page the actual discussion had long since given way to classic forum ritual: dozens of low-effort 'unhide'/'thanks'/'lol' replies from members trying to reveal the hidden download content. The one genuine detour is Anexxion's double-posted rant about hating flashbangs in COD4's Shipment map, which briefly injects some personality into the spam. Uploader LoRd Ragealot pops in to manually re-upload the file after a hidden-content system error, a small glimpse of the site's backend housekeeping.

my dick just imploded when i saw all this 1 post spam, goddamn. and i fuckin HATE flashbang grenades, especially in shipment on COD4 when there are over 50 people— Anexxion

i love u man.. s2— Matheuzin

Improving Your Counter Strike Skills — the classic hide-tag CS:S guide

A tongue-in-cheek CS:S skills guide that mostly just became an excuse for a chorus of 'unhide pl0x'

ZoaQ, a long-time 'Last Stand' ranked member, posted a joking-but-earnest guide to getting better at Counter-Strike: Source — covering not dying, landing headshots, teamplay, and smart weapon buys, all wrapped in mock-serious humor about 'TOOL' (Terminally Owned Operating Lethargy). The actual content was hidden behind a spoiler tag, so the reply thread is almost entirely members begging to 'unhide' it rather than discussing the tips themselves. It's a snapshot of the classic hide-tag guide format that drove engagement on the forum, with a light background hum of the site's Project-Win hack advertisement and its usual mix of Members, VIPs, and a couple of already-banned posters chiming in.

Terminally Owned Operating Lethargy (TOOL)— ZoaQ

How to get Borderlands free from Steam

39 replies of "ty" as half the forum tried to game Steam out of a free copy of Borderlands.

Member lordzed posted a step-by-step method claiming to add Borderlands to a Steam library for free using a disc-image mounting tool, with an attached download. The thread quickly filled with members reporting success or failure, arguing over whether Daemon Tools could substitute for the recommended mounting software, and one user nervously asking if Steam might ban accounts for it. It's a classic slice of the forum's 'tutorials' section — low effort, high traffic, everyone chasing a free game.

Is there any chance that steam will find out and ban our accounts? Just to be sure— dragospudge

IT WORKED THANKS— Bangerz

Guys if you view this topic and try this at least post , i want feedback— lordzed

Dynamic Text in Sony Vegas Tutorial

A hidden Sony Vegas text tutorial that turned into a two-year 'unhide' chant.

A Video Production tutorial thread where longtime member timem604 posted a picture-guided how-to for creating 'Dynamic Text' effects in Sony Vegas 8, locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall as was common on the forum. The bulk of the thread is members thanking the author, asking basic Sony Vegas questions, or simply posting 'unhide' to unlock the hidden content, with replies trickling in from April 2009 clear through July/August 2009. It's a low-drama, workmanlike thread typical of the Art & Design section, notable mostly for its longevity and the parade of now-banned handles among the repliers.

unhide this fool!— Karma

14 Crypters Dump (Reposted from HackForums)

A crypter dump thread that ran for months on 'thanks bro' alone

In the Computer Security and Hacking > Discussion section, member [FkN] Fopje posted a share of 14 crypters (tools used to obfuscate files), admitting he hadn't tested them or checked if any were FUD (undetected by antivirus). The thread became a long-running low-effort bump train, with dozens of members dropping one-line 'thanks'/'ty' replies over several months just to unlock the hidden download link. One member, [FkN] Zyzz, called out the post as simply reposted content lifted from HackForums.

I did not test these and don't know if any of them is FUD— [FkN] Fopje

you just copy everything off hackforums -.-— [FkN] Zyzz

so what if he does, still easier then forum hopping ty— Krazygood

Twitter Money-Making Guide (Reply-to-Unlock)

A VIP's Twitter money-making guide that drew ten years of one-word 'thanks' posts and nothing else

A VIP member named RandyCandy posted a guide on making money via Twitter in the Monetizing subforum, with the actual content hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall. The thread that followed was pure forum ritual: a string of members dropping quick 'thanks', 'ty', and similar replies over the following weeks just to unlock the hidden post. No real discussion or debate happened — it's a snapshot of the classic hidden-content economy that ran gaming/leech forums like this one.

I swear it wasnt me— RandyCandy

Show this! I want to see!— attheshows

So i was like trolling with my troll inside a troll.— ThatDudeWithTheFood

Make $100 a Day Using Facebook — the classic 'reply to unlock' Monetizing thread

A VIP's hidden 'get rich on Facebook' tutorial that everyone thanked and nobody discussed

A VIP member named RandyCandy posted a hidden 'make money' guide claiming users could earn $100 a day through Facebook, gated behind the classic forum reply-to-unlock mechanism. The thread drew a long, low-effort chain of one-word replies ('ty', 'thanks', 'thx') from members racing to unlock the content, plus a few skeptical or hopeful comments about whether the method actually worked. It's a snapshot of the forum's Monetizing subsection and its 'reply for hidden content' culture rather than any real discussion of the method itself.

sounds too unrealistic but yea show— kennutz

Omg.. Hope this works so i can buy VIP— Skyrim

Thank you for this great tutorial ;)— [VIP] Darkness^

Adbux Auto Clicker Tutorial Thread (2007)

laptops drops a free Adbux auto-clicker with a demo video (and a not-so-subtle referral link) — thread erupts into thanks, jokes about his taste in background music, and one guy accusing him of theft

A member named laptops shared a free Adbux auto-clicker tool in the Random Tuts subforum back in September 2007, asking people to use his referral link if they signed up. The thread got a steady stream of one-line 'thanks' replies typical of the era's tutorial threads, plus some ribbing over the music in his accompanying video and a heated one-off accusation from Captin_55 claiming laptops 'stole' their stuff. By the end, someone was asking for the download to be re-hosted, suggesting the original link had already died — a fittingly ephemeral end for an early web money-making gimmick.

YEP, here it is, enjoy, and please use my referal if your going to sign up, thanks— laptops

Dude, shit music, but good, could of had your own voice.— sammo

Bitch fuck you you stole my fucking shit!— Captin_55

How to Bot in Most MMORPGs (with the classic 'unhide' spam and a virus scare)

A 2007 tutorial thread where half the replies are just 'unhide' and one guy suspects the download is a virus.

A member named Seaking posted a tutorial in the Random Tuts subforum claiming to explain how to bot in most MMORPGs, while listing several popular games (Last Chaos, Trickster Online, WoW, Diablo2, Maplestory) where the method supposedly wouldn't work. The thread devolved into the classic tutorial-forum pattern of dozens of members replying with 'unhide', 'thanks', or one-word acknowledgments just to reveal hidden content. Near the end, one user, lordofrum, raised an alarm that the shared program might be a virus, a common and telling risk of downloading tools from these old cheat/tutorial threads.

I think the program is a virus!!!!— lordofrum

I Like botting. lol.— Superzxoz

unhide, thanks— banak

Crosshair Color Changer Script by Markis

A homemade CS:S crosshair-color script kept a five-page thread of 'nice' and 'unhide me' alive for months.

In the Scripting subforum, member Markis shared a self-written config script that cycled the in-game crosshair color when scrolling the mouse wheel, gated behind the classic 'reply to unlock hidden content' setup. The thread mostly consists of short approving replies ('nice', 'thanks alot m8', 'unhide me!') from a mix of regulars and low-post noobs over several months, with a bit of joking about a random image someone posted. It's a low-drama, low-stakes thread — just a small utility mod and the community reacting cheerfully to it.

i made this script myself so it might look messy but it works =)— Markis

thanks alot for that script m8 now i can see the xhair on office— ownage93

lol i cheat too much to make that one of any value LMAO.— Phantom

[TUT] Baz's Guide To Getting Referrals

The forum's top referral hoarder (1,368 of 'em) drops a PDF 'guide' — and yes, there's a sneaky adfly link tucked inside

VIP member Baz posted a PDF tutorial claiming to reveal exactly how he racked up 1,368 site referrals, gated behind the classic 'reply to unlock' hidden-content trick. He threw a bit of shade at rival sites (ubers, l33ts, HF) while plugging fkn0wned as superior, and slipped in a shortlink asking readers to use it for his own benefit. The reply chain is pure filler-era forum culture: a wall of 'thanks/ty' unlock posts, one guy begging for a BF3 CD-key in a completely unrelated reply, and a 1K Club member gassing Baz up while fishing for +REP.

I currently have 1368 referrals and I got every single one of them using the method in my tutorial.— Baz

How to Crack a Wi-Fi Network's WEP Encryption (BackTrack Tutorial)

The classic BackTrack WEP-cracking thread everyone said 'ty' to without reading

A 2010 tutorial thread in the Hacking Tutorials section where user [1K] Gabe posted a hidden guide on breaking WEP Wi-Fi encryption using BackTrack, gated behind the forum's classic 'reply to see hidden content' system. The replies are almost entirely low-effort 'ty' and 'cool' posts from members farming access to the hidden content rather than real discussion, with a few jokes about mooching a neighbor's internet. Spans 3 pages, typical of the era's hacking-tutorial threads that were more about hidden-content etiquette than actual technical exchange.

cheers for the share gabe, might steal my nextdoor neighbours fiberoptic xDDD— drplobble

Hack My Site Challenge

Legend built a deliberately unsecured site and dared the forum to break in first — 'too easy' says everyone who tried.

A member known as Legend spun up a bare, no-security practice website and challenged the community to log in and complete a hidden task, with daily hints promised to keep it fresh. There was no prize, just bragging rights and the hope of turning it into a recurring weekly event. Several regulars (trs, Jeremy, iAmDuX, Exclusive) claimed success via PM, with a couple calling it too easy once the later hints landed, and a guest chimed in mocking the difficulty. Staff moved the thread into the Competitions section and it was eventually closed on request months later.

I have coded a simple website with no security at ALL! You must hack it as followed below, and you can win!— Legend

This shit was way too easy even for me lel— Guest_Nick_

That 2nd hint blew the challenge!— Forever

How to Play WarZ Even If It's Down!

The server's dead but the thread lives forever: 20+ replies of pure 'ty' energy.

A Gaming Tutorials thread offering a workaround so players could keep playing WarZ during its (frequent, notorious) server outages. The actual instructions are long gone from what survives, but the reply chain is a perfect snapshot of forum culture: a wall of low-effort 'ty', 'nn', 'asd' bumps from rank-grinding regulars, a couple of genuine one-line thank-yous from brand new accounts, and at least one drive-by complaint about WarZ itself being bad. Members flex post counts, join dates, and badges ([1K] Club, VIP, Spammer titles) more than they discuss the actual tutorial.

[HOWTO] Make your own CS spray

The classic guide that taught a generation of CS 1.6 players how to slap their own logo on the wall.

A tutorial thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 General section walking members through creating custom spray logos for the game, originally posted by 'rockforce' (credited in later replies but not shown on this page). This is the tail end of a two-page thread, showing latecomers thanking the OP and asking follow-up questions, including one about getting sprays working on non-Steam CS installs. A modest, low-drama slice of everyday forum life — the kind of practical, community-taught tech tip that made these old cheat/gaming forums useful beyond their reputation.

oh and yeah i have non-steam... how do ya make it work for non ?? plz thx alot— ACxDog

Thank you rockforce. Your our savore!— whee

[Updated] Fkn0wned Password Generator! v2 ready!

A member's first-ever Visual Basic app: a homemade random password generator, shared proudly with the source code attached.

In the Technology > Programming section, longtime [FkN] Crew member Sonikk shared his first Visual Basic application: a simple password generator producing random alphanumeric strings. After feedback, he pushed a v2 update letting users pick between 6, 8, 8, or 9-character passwords, and posted the full source code inline for others to see and comment on. It's a small, earnest slice of the forum's DIY coding culture rather than any drama-driven thread.

Hi! I just made my first application in Visual Basic!— Sonikk

Please download it and give me some comments!— Sonikk

C# Global Keyboard Hook via DirectInput

A dev shares a slicker DirectInput trick for global keyboard hooking — replies are just people saying 'unhide!'

CTSSTC, a regular in the Programming subforum, followed up on an earlier tutorial with a simpler method for building a global keyboard hook in C# using Microsoft's DirectInput device class instead of the old approach. The whole code snippet was tucked behind a spoiler/hide tag, which drew the classic forum ritual of members posting nothing but 'unhide' to unlock the content. A brief, low-key thread typical of the Tech & Security > Programming board — more of a code-share reference post than a discussion.

lets see wts the gd thing here!— windham

Jailbreaking the iPod Touch/iPhone with blackra1n (Firmware 3.1.2)

2009 called: here's how half the forum jailbroke their iPod Touch with one big red button

A member named prankster163 posted a beginner-friendly tutorial on using the blackra1n tool to jailbreak iPod Touch and iPhone devices running firmware 3.1.2, covering model number checks, the one-click 'Make it ra1n' process, and installing Cydia/Rock afterward. It's a classic snapshot of the late-2000s jailbreak scene, complete with a follow-up correction from another user about using a newer blackra1n version for 3G devices. Short, low-drama thread — just a helpful how-to and a quick thanks-and-fix exchange typical of the Tech & Security > Programming board.

Once again, make sure your iPod/iPhone is plugged in and connected! Now click "Make it ra1n."— prankster163

lol guys no dont if this is the first version of blackrain then dont try it if your ipod is a 3g— rjross2000

Steamid Converter Tool (2009)

A tiny .jar tool for looking up SteamIDs turns into a quiet reminder of the site's phishing-adjacent underbelly

KreaT!vE posted a small downloadable tool for converting Steam usernames/profiles into SteamIDs, hosted behind a hidden Rapidshare link since it capped at limited downloads. When asked the point of it, KreaT!vE admitted it was useful for speeding up account phishing by skipping the need to join a game to grab an ID. The rest of the thread is a long, low-effort chain of members saying 'unhide,' 'thanks,' and 'ty' to unlock the hidden content, with one user (pohead1234) asking about extending it to auto-detect which Steam accounts owned games. Fairly typical of the Tech & Security/Programming board — small utility tools shared casually, with an undercurrent of use for account-stealing rather than legitimate development.

If you are phishing accoutns and what not, you can get the id without going ingame, so its much faster.— KreaT!vE

am I right in saying this does NOT convert a steam username to a steam community profile ID? damn.. I need to find out how to do that so badly— pohead1234

SMS Bomber International v2.4 — Catmaster's Tool Release Thread

A regular's pet project gets its umpteenth version bump, VirusTotal scan and all.

Member Catmaster, an established poster since late 2006, dropped v2.4 of his homegrown 'SMS Bomber' tool in the Programming subforum under Tech & Security. The post is a typical release-thread from that era: download mirrors, a pasted VirusTotal scan showing a clean result across dozens of AV engines, and a casual note that he was still trying to build an auto-updater so he wouldn't have to keep starting new threads for every version. Low drama, purely a tool-drop-and-support post inviting people to PM him if they needed help.

still working on how to get an auto-updater implamented into my program so i can stop making new threads about this, but until then, thats what im doing— Catmaster

If you need help with it, either post here or PM me... either way is quick...— Catmaster

[C++ / D3D] Checkbox Menu — str1k3r21's D3D8 GUI source

A first-timer's homemade D3D8 checkbox menu, credits demanded, screenshot hosted on the ghost of Photobucket.

In the Programming subforum under Tech & Security, member str1k3r21 posted source code for a simple checkbox-style GUI menu built for D3D8 games, calling it his first attempt at a 'Mouse D3D' overlay. The post included a screenshot link (long dead, Photobucket-hosted) and asked others to credit him if they reused the code, while also crediting 'Enigma.h4x' in the source header. It's a typical slice of the era's cheat-scene programming culture: toggle menus, colored on/off boxes, and an ad for 'Project-Win' undetected CSS hacks running alongside it.

If you use my source, please give me credits for making it.— str1k3r21

P.S: this is my first Mouse D3D I ever made.— str1k3r21

[PHP] Extremely Fast Mail Bomber by ap3x

ap3x drops a homemade PHP mail bomber on the forum — and immediately gets called out for reinventing a UNIX classic

In the Programming subforum under Tech & Security, longtime admin ap3x posted a self-written PHP script that spammed a target email address with repeated messages via PHP's mail() function, sharing it after it reportedly got him kicked off a web host. The post came with a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer disclaiming responsibility for misuse. Reception was light — a couple of quick replies, one asking for the code to be unhidden and another (from veteran member lulraep) reminiscing that this was just an old trick abusing UNIX sendmail.

I wrote this from the ground up for a friend but I'm releasing it here because I love you all.— ap3x

ahhh the abuse of UNIX sendmail :D takes me back a few years...— lulraep

PrimeDll 1.0: Basic DLL Injection Skeleton

A bare-bones DLL injection skeleton, dropped for anyone who wanted to build their own game hack.

Member str1k3r21 posted a barebones C++ DLL template intended as a starting point for building game-hack DLLs, meant to be compiled and expanded with custom code before being injected into a game process. It included a hotkey toggle stub and a self-promoting message box crediting the author. The post is typical of the Programming subforum's cheat-development culture, offering a skeleton for others to build on rather than a finished tool, with a polite ask for credit if reused.

This is a basic Dynamic Library Source. Use your C++ version and compile it. Then Add your hacks, inject it in the game and hack.— str1k3r21

Give credits if you use this . Enjoy— str1k3r21

Scripting Questions (i am ghost asks: what's the difference between scripts and hacks?)

A newbie asks if scripting counts as 'hacking' — gets a genuine CS 1.6 script lesson, then a troll reply telling him to bind a fake suicide taunt

A Counter-Strike newbie named 'i am ghost' asks the Programming subforum about the difference between scripting and using .exe hacks, and how to get started with basic C++ knowledge. Regular member Christ (aka DigitalEDD) gives a genuinely detailed, patient breakdown of CS console scripting basics using a pistol quick-switch alias as an example. The thread closes out with ZighaiL posting a joke/troll script bind full of crude in-game chat lines, a classic bit of early-2000s forum humor at the newbie's expense.

Scripting != hacking— Christ AKA DigitalEDD

Extensive C++ knowledge required to use notepad...— Christ AKA DigitalEDD

Coding Hacks - Fr0Gs asks for ESP source

A trained noob asks the forum's coding heavyweight for a peek behind the ESP curtain — gets a link and a compiler small-talk instead.

A short, quiet thread in the Programming subforum where newcomer Fr0Gs politely asks veteran coder 'black ice' (posting as ICE}) for a reference ESP source to learn from, hoping to code alongside them someday. ICE} drops a link with zero fanfare, and Fr0Gs returns weeks later just to say thanks and ask what compiler they use. No drama, no fireworks — just a classic small-time learner-to-mentor exchange typical of the era's cheat-coding culture.

maybe oneday i will be coding with you— Fr0Gs

Thanks they rock what compiler do ya use— Fr0Gs

SNK's Crosshair Color Script for CS:S

A guy hits 666 posts and drops a red/yellow/green crosshair script — the thread just kinda idles on forever after that

A CS:S scripting thread where forum smod SNK shared a config that changed crosshair color based on player state (shooting, reloading/silencer swap, or idle). The hidden-content setup meant most replies were just members saying 'thanks' or 'unhide' to unlock the script, with little real discussion. It's a small, mundane utility thread, but it stretched out over months, picking up sparse replies from October 2009 all the way to a 'Yesterday' post, giving it that classic slow-forum long-tail life.

kinda sounds cool. lol BTW congrats on 666 posts— srw0801

SNK's Voice-Activated Volume Fadeout Script for CS:S

SNK drops a CS:S comm script that auto-lowers game volume whenever a teammate talks — cue the classic 'unhide' chorus.

In the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools section, forum smod SNK shared a small config script that reduced overall game volume automatically when someone spoke on voice comms, making teammates easier to hear. The thread ran from October through December 2009 and drew the typical low-effort reply-to-unlock crowd, with members mostly posting 'ty' or 'unhide' to reveal the hidden script code rather than discussing it in depth. One member, DaJayJay, later shows a BANNED tag next to their reply.

What this script does is make it so that whenever someone talks on the microphone, your volume for the rest of the game decreases, so you can hear them more clearly.— SNK

omg unhide baby where do i put this?— brianjai945

Real Crouch-Jump Script by SNK

A staff-made CS:S movement script for jailbreak and zombie servers, dropped New Year's Eve 2009.

SNK, a forum Smod, posted a simple console script for Counter-Strike: Source that improved on the standard crouch-jump by crouching before jumping, letting players reach higher spots. He noted it was handy on jailbreak and zombie servers and included a video sample. The thread got a single quick reply from another member confirming it worked, then went quiet — a small, functional utility post rather than a big event.

The crouch-jump is very useful, getting you to high places by jumping and crouching at the same time, this script is a real crouch-jump script, it crouches before the jump, getting you even higher than a regular crouch-jump.— SNK

ty :D works good— JUSTiiNCREDiiBLE

Windows CS:S Server Chat Freeze Exploit (2009)

One member's chat-spam trick that could lag out a fifth of Windows CS:S servers back in '09

A 2009 post in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum where member darksoul32 shared a chat-based trick claimed to freeze or lag Windows-hosted CS:S servers, explicitly noting it didn't work on Linux servers and only succeeded on an estimated 20% of targets. It's a short, single-post thread typical of the era's script/exploit sharing culture, framed casually as 'worth having for the hell of it' rather than anything serious. The page also carries stray period ad clutter (an Anabolic Innovations supplement giveaway banner) that had nothing to do with the thread itself.

Works on a bunch of windows css servers. Linux ones dont work so sorry but oh well..— darksoul32

I say it works on 20% of servers but still worth having for the hell of it.— darksoul32

Reply-to-Unlock: Hacking: The Art of Exploitation Book Thread

A five-page thread of forum regulars quietly farming replies to unhide a shared copy of a famous hacking book.

This was the tail end of a long-running Tutorials thread in the Red Light District section where a copy of the book 'Hacking: The Art of Exploitation [ILLUSTRATED]' was being shared, with content hidden behind reply-gated 'unhide' tags. The page mostly shows a string of low-effort bump posts from members thanking the OP or just posting to reveal the hidden material, spanning late January into early February 2008. It's a small snapshot of the era's classic 'reply to unlock' download culture rather than any real discussion of the book's content.

BattlePunks Tutorial - Battlefield 2 Coding Walkthrough

A homework-strapped teen tried to teach the whole forum how BF2 hacks actually worked, one tutorial at a time.

In the Battlefield: 2 subforum, member retarded_elephant69 posted a step-by-step follow-up to an earlier thread about reading and understanding BF2's code, framed as a beginner-friendly tutorial series. The poster admits it's incomplete (only 5 parts in) due to being busy with schoolwork, but pitches it as a fun way to learn the basics. Early replies are short and low-key, including one from a banned user and a one-liner from moderator Malware, giving it a casual, slow-burn community vibe typical of hobbyist coding/release threads of the era.

I HIGHLY RECOMEND this to people who want to lern the basics of hacking. its also fun at the same time!— retarded_elephant69

iPod Click-Wheel Games Warez Pack (2007)

A guy calling himself 'Lord PostAlotWarez' spent hours cracking every iPod click-wheel game so you didn't have to.

A December 2007 post from prolific 1000-Club member LoRd Ragealot dumping a full set of cracked iPod click-wheel games (Pacman, Tetris, Bejeweled, Zuma, Texas Hold'Em, SAT prep apps, a 'Lost' TV tie-in game, etc.) with firmware downgrade and installation guidance for 5G/5.5G iPods. It's less about the actual games and more a snapshot of the mid-2000s iPod modding/warez culture that thrived on sites like Gametration, tucked oddly into the 'Red Light District > Games' section. Credit is also given to other scene names (Diobert, Mr. Gecko) for hosting and packaging some of the files.

Sweet way of getting the games plz post back. Enjoy it.— LoRd Ragealot

Changing your IP (2007 ban-evasion tutorial)

A 2007 tutorial thread on dodging bans by swapping your IP — six pages of 'ty' replies and one guy asking why you'd even bother

Member minitureman posted a found-on-the-net tutorial about changing your IP address in the Random Tuts subforum of Off-Topic. The thread is mostly short reply spam — thanks, 'sweet', 'WOOT' — typical of tutorial threads on the board, with a brief exchange where Legit_Hacks questioned the point of changing your IP at all. Staff member hunterbrute224 also dropped by, and the thread ran at least six pages, suggesting decent interest at the time (likely tied to evading game bans).

bah lol not many people wona know how to change your ip— minitureman

Steam Account Phishing Tutorial (2007)

A 2007 phishing 'tutorial' for stealing Steam accounts, complete with a fake support bot script — and a typo correction thread derailment.

Posted in the Random Tuts subforum in October 2007, this thread laid out a social-engineering scam where a user would mass-add players from a populated server, pose as a fake 'Automated Messaging System,' and trick people into handing over their Steam login details. Replies quickly turned into other members one-upping the phishing script with more convincing fake 'Steam Support' messages, while a couple of posters pointed out it was a repost and just corrected typos. Fairly typical of the era's low-effort account-theft tutorials passed around cheat-scene forums.

isnt this posting a million times— Tundergun

A member posted a Bluetooth-hacking guide tucked behind the forum's classic [hide_me] spoiler tag, a common trick on Gametration to force replies before revealing content. The thread ran from September 2007 into January 2008 across four pages, mostly filled with users posting quick 'unhide' or thanks replies to unlock the guide rather than real discussion. It's a small, typical snapshot of the site's Random Tuts subforum, where tech and gaming tutorials got traded for forum engagement.

How to Spam with a Logitech G11/G15 Keyboard

The tutorial where a gaming keyboard's macro keys became the ultimate AIM/MSN spam cannon.

A late-2007 tutorial thread in the Random Tuts section showing off how the programmable macro keys on Logitech's G11/G15 gaming keyboards could be set up to auto-spam instant messengers. The OP promised a follow-up video demo, and the thread limped along for a couple months before devolving into members just posting their own spam macros as proof they'd figured it out. Classic small-time forum-tut energy: half genuine tech tinkering, half showing off for clout.

works fine... btw, the y is so that it will work in css— Soldier(Cc)

IP-Tools: 12 Network Utilities Bundled Into One Program

A trusty all-in-one IP toolkit, dropped by a Fkn0wned SMod and quietly still getting 'ty' replies years later.

A Security Tools sub-forum post from [FkN] Emrys Samsonite sharing a bundled network-utility program (ping, traceroute, port scanner, NetBIOS scanner, NSLookup, and similar troubleshooting tools) with an accompanying antivirus scan report to reassure downloaders it was clean. The thread is a typical low-drama tool-share: a handful of members drop by over the following months just to say thanks or bump the hidden download link. It's a small, ordinary artifact of the site's Computer Security and Hacking section, notable mainly for the poster's staff rank and the classic 'reply to unlock' download format of the era.

What Even Is a DLL? A Beginner's Intro to Hack Dev Terminology

A newbie asks 'what even is a DLL?' and gets the classic old-forum answer: go learn C++ for two years.

A new member in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripting section admits he knows nothing about DLLs, offsets, or debugging and asks for beginner tutorials on hack-making terminology. A couple of more established members, including forum staffer DCLXVI, give brief, unglamorous explanations of what a DLL actually is and point him toward learning C++ (plus D3D or OpenGL depending on the game) rather than handing over shortcuts. It's a small, low-drama snapshot of the era's gatekeeping-by-effort culture around cheat development knowledge.

DLL = Dynamic Linking Library— Inferno_Scripts

For CSS learn fully C++ and D3D. For CS1.6 learn fully C++ and OpenGL.— DCLXVI

CSS Anti-Aim Console Menu Script

A noob asks for a menu, and Inferno_Scripts drops the classic console-echo HUD in reply

A December 2007 thread in the CS:S Scripting subforum where a member named skater4life asked for help building an on-screen menu for his anti-aim script. Inferno_Scripts replied with a full console-based menu template using developer/contimes tricks to display selectable options, crediting the anti-aim logic to skater4life and the menu coding to himself. It's a small, typical slice of the era's CS:S scripting culture, where members freely shared and remixed script templates for aim/anti-aim tools and gave each other in-code credit.

i was wondering if there is a tutorial somehwere on this first of all but if there is no tutorial i would be very greatful if someone could take the time to teach me how to make a menu for my antiaim script— skater4life

Heres a menu script. You just need to replace the lines that have **COMMANDS** with whatever your alias is for your antiaims.— Inferno_Scripts

Cover Me Reload Script

A tiny CS:S bind script that says 'cover me' when you reload — years later, still getting quiet 'ty' bumps from randoms.

This was the second page of a Counter-Strike: Source scripting thread on Fkn0wned.com, originally started by user Malware, offering a simple script that triggered the 'cover me!' radio call whenever a player reloaded their weapon. The thread trickled on for months with new members finding it and posting quick thanks or 'unhide' requests to reveal the hidden script contents, a common pattern on this board. Near the end, member Siemen asked if a similar script could announce spotting or killing enemies, but reported an error trying to get the original working — a small glimpse of the trial-and-error nature of community-made CS:S scripts.

Sounds useful. My clan sucks for covering my ass -.-'— lpfan4ever

Nice. Can you make one with this: When you see an enemy, you'll say enemy spotted. And When you kill an enemy, you'll say enemy down. Is that possible?— Siemen

Portable Portal for U3 Flash Drives (2007)

One member's mission to cram Portal onto a 2GB flash drive so he could play it at school

In late October 2007, member hunterbrute224 shared that he'd rigged a portable version of Portal to launch from a U3 flash drive, so he could play it at school off a 4GB stick. The thread mostly consists of him hunting for somewhere to host the large installer file and other members (pyeman, Jack Daniels) chiming in about whether it would fit on smaller 1GB or 2GB drives. A few late replies simply say thanks after the file was posted. It's a small, low-drama, very of-its-era tech-tinkering thread typical of the Other Games > Others board.

Hey guys I made another games. Issue I cant find a website to host the U3 installer on.— hunterbrute224

ooo so it shud fit but then i wont have room for my college stuff lol— pyeman

Lots of hacking books! (Computers General, Jan 2007)

Sonikk drops a stash of 'hacking books' on the Computers General board, capped off with the infamous Hacker's Black Book.

A short post by staff member Sonikk in the Technology > Computers General section, sharing a collection of computer/hacking-related e-books, most notably 'Hackers Black Book'. Typical of the era's forum culture where staff and veteran members would periodically dump resource lists or file collections for the community. The post itself is brief and promotional in tone, framed as a follow-up 'more goodies' contribution.

Im back to give you more goodies!— Sonikk

And at last, but not at least, Hackers Black Book!— Sonikk

You can still get CSS beta! (jab2000's trick to unlock the old CS:S beta)

A forgotten 2010 workaround for reviving Counter-Strike: Source's original beta build — still live years later.

In this Counter-Strike: Source discussion thread from May 2010, longtime member jab2000 posted a method for accessing the old CS:S beta version through some Steam/GCF file tinkering, requiring a Team Fortress 2 license. A couple of members chimed in — one suggesting an easier 'patcher' route, another asking nervously whether doing this would get their Steam account banned. It's a small, quintessential slice of the site's PC Gaming section: a niche technical tip shared casually among regulars, with the usual mix of helpfulness and paranoia about account safety.

Or just use a steam patcher for lazy people.— kimd41

Kinda stupid question but will my Account be disable if i do this?— venzin

Premium Clones! (Website Script Bundle Drop)

One guy dumps a whole shelf of cracked webmaster scripts, and the thread turns into a two-month 'thnx' parade.

In the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates subforum, member AcidViper posted a large bundle of 'premium clone' web scripts — ad rotators, affiliate/auction platforms, CMS and file-hosting kits, and template packs — commonly used by early-2010s webmasters to spin up ad-monetized sites. The rest of the thread is a string of short replies from other members thanking him or asking to unhide the download, typical of the forum's warez-sharing culture where content was hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall. No real drama here, just a workhorse resource-sharing post that kept getting bumped with gratitude for months.

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— retarded_elephant69

200+ phpBB Mods Compilation Post

A 2007 grab-bag of 200+ phpBB mods, dropped like treasure in the Red Light District's Scripts & Templates corner.

A member posting as .Smurf (Xfire handle 'acidvipez', signing off as '-Acid.') shared a RapidShare-hosted archive claiming to bundle over 200 phpBB forum modifications into one 12MB download. It's a classic web 1.0/late-2000s webmaster resource-sharing post typical of forums like Gametration.com, where members traded scripts and templates for running their own sites. The poster was later marked as Banned, a small detail of forum history baked into the archived profile info.

Here is a compilation of more than 200 mods for all phpbb!— .Smurf

Worthy of worship?— .Smurf

vBulletin 3.6.6 'Proper Null' Patch Thread

The day a nulled vBulletin release got a hotfix for its own backdoor scare.

A 2007 post in the Scripts & Templates sub-board of the Red Light District section, where user AcidViper shared a patched 'PROPER NULL' version of a cracked vBulletin 3.6.6 release, citing a reported callback issue in the earlier NULL release that needed an urgent file overwrite fix. The thread is a classic low-effort bump fest typical of warez-adjacent forum culture — a string of members dropping quick 'ty', 'thx', and one-word replies to unlock or bump the download, with no real discussion beyond gratitude. It's a small but telling artifact of the era's nulled-software scene and how these boards traded cracked CMS software alongside game cheats.

There was a callback reported, so please update asap.— AcidViper

Mani RCON Takeover Script Locked Over Linkbucks Link

A Mani RCON 'takeover' script drops, gets linkbucked, gets locked in under three hours.

A member named Terry KIM posted a script claiming to take over servers running Mani Admin via RCON, hosted through a linkbucks link. The thread was almost immediately shut down by admin ap3x, who cited the community's dislike of linkbucks-hosted downloads and told the poster to re-upload elsewhere. It's a tiny, quintessential fkn0wned moment: a tool drop, a shady link shortener, and a fast mod hammer.

Works. Please to not leak past this website!— Terry KIM

nobody likes linkbucks re up somewhere else— ap3x
