[C++] Basic Wall Hack Tutorial - irishash

A 16-page, year-and-a-half-long chain of 'unhide plz' just to peek at one guy's D3D wallhack code.

irishash posted a spoiler-tagged, step-by-step D3D9 tutorial for coding a basic Counter-Strike: Source wallhack (with bonus snippets for fullbright, wireframe, transparency, and fog removal), crediting 'Azorbix and g-d' for the base kit it built on. The thread became a running joke of the fkn0wned Programming subforum: hundreds of members replying with nothing but 'unhide', 'thx', or one-word bumps just to reveal the hidden code, stretching from mid-2008 all the way into December 2009. It's less a technical discussion and more a monument to forum ritual — a classic 'hidden content' tutorial thread that ballooned to 16 pages almost entirely from unhide requests. One member (CratycloS) actually reported using it to build a working wall/nosmoke hack for CSS.

I hate to be an "unhider", but I really want to see this!— Agent766

this was very helpful. i have successfully made my own wall and nosmoke hack for css using this, it works and when i get better with interface and make a public release of it, i'll be sure to give you credit.— CratycloS

SneekerN's Guide To Phishing (Steam Accounts)

The Tutorials board's most infamous how-to: a step-by-step Steam account phishing guide, complete with free hosting and a .tk domain trick.

Posted in June 2009 by longtime member SneekerN, this was a widely-referenced tutorial in the Tutorials section explaining how to set up a fake login page using a free host and a .tk redirect to steal Steam credentials. It drew a steady stream of thanks and follow-up questions over several days, with members asking about spreading methods, hiding their tracks, and troubleshooting broken links. The thread captures the casual, transactional culture of the site's 'cheat scene' era, where phishing guides sat alongside gaming tutorials and were treated as just another useful skill to share.

Not really, the ones that are truly thankful will thank me. I don't want people spamming ''PLX UNHIDE''.— SneekerN

I know it's simple. People complain why their phisher don't work, but I has PICTOORZ guide.— SneekerN

He said if you don't hide it they can track you down and sue you. Can they and will they?— FknTheMan

Mugen's MacBook Pro Warranty Fraud Guide

A 318-reply how-to on scamming Apple replacements that basically became the board's most 'liked' thread of 2013.

Started by longtime member Mugen on 31 May 2013, this thread laid out a detailed social-engineering scheme for tricking Apple support into issuing free replacement MacBook Pros via fraudulent warranty claims and cross-shipping tricks. It ran to at least 13 pages, but the replies overwhelmingly consist of one- or two-word 'ty'/'thanks' posts from dozens of members, showing how popular and widely farmed the guide was rather than sparking real discussion. It's a good snapshot of the Social Engineering subforum's culture: a mix of respected veteran posters dropping 'gold' guides and a swarm of low-effort members bumping and thanking for reputation or just to read the hidden content.

Here's serial algo for a 15" Retina Feb 2013 edition...— Mugen

let me see i hope this is something new.— Karlisz

Guide for New Hackers (the classic noob-onboarding sticky)

The sticky every fresh CS:S cheater got pointed to — steps, an FAQ, and a skins tutorial all rolled into one

A member named alex_nj_reyes posted a beginner's walkthrough for setting up cheats in Counter-Strike: Source, covering folder organization, loading hacks, and vague warnings about VAC detection, and it got stickied in the CS:S General section. Longtime staffer/regular Malware followed up with an extensive FAQ clarifying forum rules and answering common technical questions, plus a separate tutorial on installing custom skins and ragdolls. The thread ran for over a year (2006–2008), collecting a long tail of low-effort 'thanks'/'lol' replies from a parade of one-off accounts, which was pretty typical for a reference sticky like this on a cheat-scene board.

USE THIS GUIDE WISELY AND AS A REFERENCE ONLY— alex_nj_reyes

Steam is getting more smarter and they will scan your folder for hacks.— alex_nj_reyes

YAY!!! WEEE!! IM NAKED!...— Venomtainted

Shifty's Hack FAQ

The pinned 'everything you ever wanted to know about cheating' thread that doubled as Fkn0wned's welcome mat.

Co-Manager Shifty posted a sprawling, staff-sanctioned FAQ laying out the basics of the site's whole reason for existing: wallhacks, aimbots, ESP, anti-recoil, material hacks, VAC/PunkBuster, and how to avoid looking too obvious while using them. It reads as a beginner's onboarding doc for the cheat scene, complete with a plug for the site's 'closest affiliate' private-hack seller. Pyeman's one-line reply ('now i actually know what ESP stands for') sums up the thread's low-key, helpful-big-brother vibe rather than any real drama — this was reference material, not a flashpoint.

ALL YOUR HACKING RELATED QUESTIONS...ANSWERED— Shifty

thanks for this now i actualy know what ESP stands for lol— pyeman

Scripting Index (CS 1.6 Scripting Subforum)

The master directory of every config, script pack, and weapon-action hack the Scripting board ever produced.

A pinned index thread for the Counter-Strike 1.6 Scripting section, compiling links to script packs and individual scripts (nade timing, silent run, long jump, aim helpers, silent defuse, no-flash, and more) organized by category. Christ (aka DigitalEDD), a [Coder] group member, maintained it as the go-to reference for the forum's scripting community, crediting various contributors like smirnoff1, lea0001, timmeh, ELX[Draco], and Fatalis/Q-bA11. It's a snapshot of the era's DIY scripting scene around CS 1.6, where members built and shared custom binds and exploits rather than full cheats.

Find all releases quick and easy

Please post here if you want to add a release/script to the index.— Christ

How to Use SCDS — TuxifieD's Step-by-Step Guide (and the 'where is the hack?' Post of the Year Nominee)

Founder posts a 'simple 5-step guide,' immediately gets buried in confused newbies and one legendary post-of-the-year nomination.

Site founder TuxifieD posted a quick walkthrough for launching SCDS, Fkn0wned's loader tool used to run their Combat Arms cheat client, after apparently getting tired of people saying it was too confusing. The reply chain is a classic tech-support pile-on: newbies reporting authentication errors, missing DLLs, stuck progress bars, and game crashes, with veteran members and mods chiming in with fixes and increasingly dry sarcasm. It ends on a high note when a member asks 'where is the hack?' directly under the guide explaining exactly that, prompting a mod to nominate it as post of the year.

Its simple people why does everyone make it seem like its impossible.— TuxifieD

where is the hack?— shimmyshoy

Post of the year nominee right here.— ap3x

D3D Starter-kit v3.0b

A 2007 Direct3D hooking framework drop that had half the Programming board saying thanks in unison.

This is a release thread in Fkn0wned's Technology > Programming section for 'D3D Starter-kit v3.0b,' a Direct3D 8/9 interfacing framework credited to Azorbix with a long list of contributors. The opening post details version history, bugfixes, and setup requirements (Visual C++, DirectX9 SDK) for building either an injected hook or a standalone wrapper DLL. The replies are mostly short, appreciative posts from members thanking the author and reporting basic issues, giving it that classic era-appropriate 'cheat scene' toolkit-release vibe rather than any real discussion or drama.

Omg I Love you P47R!CK LanceVorgin Dom1n1k Especially P47R!CK— Afteryou

SWEET!— Livefire

Thank you!— Tr3Nx

Basic wall hack tut

A 2006 D3D9 wallhack tutorial thread — half coding lesson, half community time capsule

Dragon13 posts a step-by-step Direct3D9 tutorial for building a basic wallhack using AZorbix's d3d starter kit, covering stream source hooking, DrawIndexedPrimitive, and bonus render-state tricks (transparency, wireframe, fullbright, fog disable) credited to ASUS, Azorbix, and g-d. The reply section is a classic mixed-skill forum moment: a low-post newbie admits she can't code but offers to help with the website, a longtime member jokes about how overcomplicated it all looks, and a staff member drops in without much comment. A later edit by moderator ho0k- in 2007 fixes a dead download link, showing the thread stayed referenced long after its original post.

so complicated!!! OMG!!! lol— AKULA

well..i cant make a program, but i can help with the website. i kinda know a little bit of this and that ( just by using html )— hezzie

hope this helps some beginners— Dragon13

[Week 2] Coding Contest — Exe Packer/Cryptor Challenge

Fkn0wned launches its first-ever coding contest: build an undetectable exe cryptor, win a Steam account and elite forum status.

Founder TuxifieD kicked off a planned weekly coding contest series on the Tech & Security > Programming board, with Week 1's challenge being to write an exe packer/cryptor capable of making files (tested against the Poison Ivy trojan) undetectable by antivirus scanners on Windows XP. Prizes included a Steam account for first place and 'Affiliate Coder' status granting access to a private section with past winners' source code. The thread turned into a running technical discussion, with members like SuperNovaAO and moron posting progress updates, screenshots, and AV-scan results as they iterated on their crypters, debating heuristics, sandboxing, and obfuscation tricks along the way.

AVG keeps detecting my shit. THE CHEAPEST AND WORST AV THAT THE WORLD EVER SAW DETECTS IT!— SuperNovaAO

Plus it uses actual encryption+unpacker obfuscation, so it's 100% undetectable unless every script kiddy on the planet starts using it (hence non 100% public release).— moron

The next contest will be some different from crypting/encrption— TuxifieD

All Hacking Definitions (MapleStory Glossary by SNK)

The MapleStory hacking scene's entire glossary, pinned by a legendary smod — vacs, bots, godmodes and bypasses all defined in one post.

A locked, stickied reference thread posted by longtime [FkN] Super Moderator SNK back in December 2009, laying out an exhaustive glossary of MapleStory-era hacking terminology. It catalogs named cheat engines, GameGuard bypasses, botting terms, vac types, godmode variants, movement hacks, CPU register flags, and common abbreviations used across the scene. This wasn't a discussion so much as a community dictionary — the kind of foundational post new members would get linked to constantly to understand the lingo flying around the rest of the board.

Godmode - You do not take damage— SNK

Vacuum - Sucks monsters to one spot— SNK

UCE - Undetectable Cheat Engine— SNK

Keylogging/stealing info (cjainy tutorial thread)

The infamous IStealer thread — reply to unhide, then everyone just says 'unhide' for two pages straight

A 2009 Tutorials-forum post by cjainy laying out a keylogging method for grabbing Steam accounts, rapidshare logins, and porn site passes, gated behind a 'reply to unhide' spoiler wall. The thread mostly fills up with members posting 'unhide' or brief thanks to unlock the hidden content, a VIP member plugging a paid upgrade (IStealer 4.0), and one poster grousing that antivirus flagged the tool. It's a classic snapshot of the forum's cheat/warez culture and its reply-to-unlock economy, plus a running giveaway banner touting stolen Steam accounts worth $400+.

Now rinse and repeat & hope to God nobody jacks your FTP info.— cjainy

Buy VIP and get the better version of this tutorial with IStealer 4.0— TheGrapist

How to Hack Servers & Websites from Scratch (Classic 'Unhide and Thanks' Thread)

The classic 'unhide and thanks' thread — one of thec0re's most-replied hack tutorials, buried behind a wall of one-word gratitude posts.

A 2009 tutorial thread posted by user jbfkenpwns in the Tutorials board, offering a step-by-step guide framed as teaching beginners to 'hack servers and websites from scratch.' The actual content was hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall, a very common mechanic on this forum, so the entire visible thread is just page after page of members posting single words like 'unhide', 'ty', and 'nice' to unlock the guide. It captures the classic low-effort bump culture of cheat/hack forums of the era, where the value was rarely in the responses but in farming replies to access hidden content.

unhide and thanks— 1iceT1

work pl0x— lam3r

this should be fun if works— silvercola

iStealer V5 - Cleaned and Pictured Tutorial

The pinned tut that taught a generation of fkn0wned members how to set up a password stealer, screenshots included.

VIP member XpliciteR posted a step-by-step, screenshot-heavy guide for configuring 'iStealer V5', explicitly framed as clearer and cleaner than the existing V4 tutorial by Jamiee. The thread got instant praise, a sticky/pin request that was granted by a Retired-and-Respected staffer (ZoaQ), and a stream of members thanking the OP, reporting setup issues (missing logs, database privilege steps), and getting troubleshooting help in reply. It's a solid time capsule of the 'cheat scene' tutorial culture on the board — quick community validation, minor image-hosting hiccups, and casual offers to help via MSN.

I decided to create my very own tutorial to teach members how to setup their own iStealer V5. I'm informed that there are already different threads, but I do not think they are very clear.— XpliciteR

GHEY!!!!PINNED!!!!!!!!— ZoaQ

people don't forget the Step 3. Assign Privileges to Mysql DB.— albator

The 'Hack Pack' Mega-Thread

24+ pages of 'thanks bro' — the compiled-tools thread that never died and outlived Gametration itself.

A member named HaSh kicked off a 'mega-thread' in the Red Light District's Software subforum, bundling together various tools scraped from other posts in the section into one convenient pack, crediting the original posters (Afteryou, Shifty, Prinz, Millerlite, Kiingy). The thread became a long-running community staple, ballooning to over 20 pages as new members trickled in for years just to say thanks. The page captured here shows the tail end of its life, spanning a rebrand from Gametration.com to Fkn0wned.com, with dozens of low-effort 'thanks'/'ty'/'big thx' replies from mostly low-post-count members — a classic bump-thread that became a rite of passage for newcomers.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, SOME SOFTWARE MAY INCLUDE HARMFUL MATERIAL!— HaSh

thank you all i love fkn0wned— numba1killer

holy shit, gotta see this! Thanks!— xkentax

Getting Portal for Free: The 3-Month 'UNHIDE' Meme Thread

The tutorial where half the forum just showed up to yell 'UNHIDE' for three months straight

Captin_55 posted a tutorial in late 2007 claiming to let members play Portal single-player for free, right when the game was fresh off its Half-Life 2: Episode Two / Orange Box release and hype was sky-high. The thread became a running gag as it stretched from November 2007 into February 2008, with a huge parade of members chiming in mostly just to beg the mods to 'unhide' the hidden content rather than discuss it. It's less notable for the actual tutorial and more as a snapshot of forum culture — a single popular post generating dozens of low-effort 'unhide/ty/gimme' replies for weeks on end.

unhiiiiide (ninja trick)— banak

How to Hack Windows XP User Log-In

The tutorial that basically every fkn0wned member 'unhid' at least once.

A long-running Random Tuts thread started by Sceptis back in March 2007, walking through a method for bypassing/hacking Windows XP login accounts. It became one of those classic forum staples where hundreds of members bumped in over the following year just to reply 'unhide,' 'thanks,' or 'ty' to reveal the hidden tutorial content, padding the thread out to multiple pages with minimal actual discussion. The vibe is pure late-2000s tutorial-hoarding culture — low-effort bumps, drive-by gratitude, and a handful of jokes mixed in among the noise.

Amagawd haxxor— AddiKT1ve

lets see this vagina— Tripn

eh this better not be a tool XD— 3dstz

How to Crash Someone's MSN! (WPE Pro Tutorial)

The classic 2007 'how to crash MSN' tut that got 60+ replies of pure 'unhide'

A member named Huffy778 posted a tutorial in the Random Tuts section claiming to show how to flood someone's MSN Messenger with packets using WPE Pro, potentially freezing their PC. The thread blew up not for its content but for its comment spam — dozens of members posting nothing but 'unhide', 'thanks', or one-word reactions to bump the hidden text into view, a classic forum ritual of the era. A handful of posters questioned whether it even worked, with at least one member reporting repeated failures and their antivirus flagging WPE Pro as a backdoor.

Fast Sniper - CS:S Auto-Switch Scripting Thread

A humble sniper-quickswitch config that kept scoutzknivez kids coming back for 5 pages and two years straight.

A member named Darkness posted a simple CS:Source config script in July 2006 that automated the classic 'quickscope'-style knife-switch trick for sniper rifles, popular on scoutzknivez-type maps. The thread went on to have remarkably long legs, still pulling one-word 'thanks'/'ty'/'nice' replies and script requests well into 2008, making it one of the more enduring low-key threads in the Scripting subforum. It's less a story of drama and more a monument to a small utility script that a huge cross-section of the community quietly used for years.

I love you— Loucouss

bastard snipers— RoboTron500

OMFG!— evulhotdog

The WoW Private Server Connection Tutorial (2007-2008)

The one thread everyone visited to jump ship from retail WoW to a private server — and to farm rep with a lazy 'unhide'.

Started by member Pwnography in April 2007, this was a step-by-step guide for connecting to a World of Warcraft private server, posted behind hidden-content tags typical of the forum's 'reply for the reward' culture. The thread stayed active for nearly a year, drawing hundreds of low-effort 'unhide'/'thanks' replies alongside genuine questions about server versions, Mac compatibility, and whether accounts needed retail copies. It captures the era's private-server boom and the forum's core mechanic of gating guides behind forced engagement, with the OP repeatedly scolding people for posting just 'unhide' instead of real feedback.

Hate To Do This!!!! But HIDDEN CONTENT! Please Respond With Something Intelligent, Not "unhide" or "thanks"— Pwnography

DCLXVI's CS:S Tutorials and FAQ Compilation

The pinned reference guide every CS:S cheat-scene lurker bookmarked — aimbot glossary, VAC ban rules, and how to out-fox an admin who nuked your config.

A long-running reference thread by forum regular DCLXVI compiling a set of Counter-Strike: Source guides: a glossary of hack features (aimbot, ESP, wallhacks, etc.), how to install/uninstall material skins, fixing DLL errors, what actually gets you VAC banned, making custom sprays, and a detailed writeup (with reghar) on locking down your config.cfg to stop server admins from messing with your name, keybinds, and settings. It reads as a classic 2008-era 'cheat scene' knowledge base, written matter-of-factly rather than as drama, and stuck around long enough to collect a few late replies and thanks well into 2009. The final reply is just gibberish keyboard-mashing, a fittingly mundane way for the thread to fizzle out.

Admins that do this are not 'hackers' they are simply using server side plugins which most servers have.— DCLXVI

There is nothing you can do to 100% protect yourself from server admins.— DCLXVI

SNK's CS:S Coding Megathread

The dump-all thread where fkn0wned's coders traded raw Counter-Strike: Source hack source — ESP, bone aim, speedhacks, the works.

Forum smod SNK posted a big compilation of Counter-Strike: Source cheat-development snippets for other coders — things like sound/health/name ESP, bone and hitbox aimbot code, speedhacks, a command menu, and engine hooking tricks — all gated behind reply-to-unlock spoilers. The replies are almost entirely one-word 'unhide'/'thanks' posts from members farming access to the hidden content, typical of Downloads/code threads on the board. One old-timer, A-Nihilist, breaks the pattern with a nostalgic aside about having coded CS mods himself back in the day.

For all the CS:S Coders.— SNK

C+P4ME? Half of these you need other files to use. However, thanks I was looking over it and it is bringing back memories from when I used to code back in the day.— A-Nihilist

Holy fuck thanks dude,really nice :D— silentrock

Amazon Refund Method [Detailed and Revamped]

295 replies of 'ty' under the forum's go-to Amazon scam script — one of Fkn0wned's most-liked guides ever.

Started by AnonymousAIM in August 2014, this thread laid out a step-by-step social engineering script for falsely claiming missing items from Amazon orders to obtain refunds. It quickly became one of the more popular posts in the Social Engineering section, running to 12 pages, with the vast majority of replies being one-word thanks ('ty') rather than discussion. A few users noted it stopped working, hinting at the cat-and-mouse nature of these methods as Amazon tightened its policies over time.

Hey guys, this is a pretty detailed guide on SE'ing amazon with the most known method to man!— AnonymousAIM

Thankz can be useful— xeniodum

Amazon Receipt Generator v2

687 posts of "ty" for a tool that mostly didn't work — classic fkn0wned energy.

A February 2012 thread in the Social Engineering section where user BlackHawk shared a download for an 'Amazon Receipt Generator v2' tool. The thread ran for 28 pages, dominated by short one-word 'thanks' replies from members racking up post counts, with a handful of users reporting the download didn't work and BlackHawk insisting it did. It's a good snapshot of the low-effort bump culture around tool-sharing threads on the forum.

post a virus scan ? Thanks btw. Edit: Doesnt work— Tr1ckZ

It does too work...— BlackHawk

FkNCrypter Public — inSpired's FUD Crypter Release Thread

A member releases his own crypter to earn a spot on the security team, and the whole forum shows up to test it live.

In this Server & Computer Security thread, member inSpired released 'FkNCrypter,' a homemade file-crypting tool, partly as an informal audition for the site's Security Crew. Founder TuxifieD reopened the thread and vouched for it publicly while inviting members to debug/scan it, sparking a back-and-forth of virus-scan reports, sandbox results, and reassurances about whether the tool was safe or backdoored. The thread shows the classic 'cheat scene' crypter-release ritual: version updates, changelogs, credit lists, and community members testing detection rates against 2009-era antivirus engines. It's a good time capsule of the site's tech/security subculture and the trust dynamics around homemade tools.

REOPENNED: InSpired is trying out for the security team, feel free to debug his application but I have no reason to believe he would post a backdoored application— TuxifieD

If this work , you have my vote to be on the team! Also , can any1 confirm it works— DvS

ZOMG thanks dawg!— xfallout

Blind SQL Injection Tutorial (lulraep)

A vintage blind SQLi walkthrough that a member swore he'd been writing since 2007 — and half the thread just wanted to know if it'd get you caught.

Long-time member lulraep posted a detailed blind SQL injection tutorial in the Server & Computer Security subforum, walking through finding vulnerable sites via Google dorking, testing for injection, enumerating columns and tables, and pulling admin credentials from a real (already-defaced) live example site. The thread has the classic early-2010s cheat-forum tone: casual profanity, 'educational purposes only' disclaimers, and a mix of gratitude, minor accusations of leeching content from other hack forums, and a technical rebuttal from conTagious about proper input sanitization. A side discussion touches on operational security (using proxies, worrying about IP exposure) and the tutorial evidently circulated for years, with replies trickling in as late as February 2010.

haha, no mate i actually wrote this. and i'm on a LOT of hack forums.— lulraep

Meh, almost any decently designed website will have a real escape string or strip slashes ...— conTagious

Hacking FAQ (by Kimmi, Fkn0wned staff)

The stickied 'how to hack CS' 101 guide every newbie on the forum got linked to.

A locked, stickied FAQ thread posted by senior moderator Kimmi ('King of Random') walking new members through the basics of getting a Counter-Strike cheat running, from requirements and downloads to launching it in-game. It reads as classic early cheat-scene community scaffolding — the kind of thread every forum in this niche had to stop the same ten questions from flooding General. The tone is dry, instructional, and very 2009, complete with disclaimers that the staff took no responsibility for what people clicked.

Well, because of so much questions on how to do this. I decided to make an FAQ about it.— Kimmi

I take no Responsibility that the links do actually Work, or are clean. Click at those, AT YOUR OWN RISK!— Kimmi

Enjoy owning others with your Hack =D— Kimmi

Scripting Unknowns: CS 1.6 Cvar & Config Compendium

The go-to CS 1.6 config thread where coders traded cvar secrets, loop tricks, and console arcana nobody else bothered to document.

A reference thread in the Counter-Strike 1.6 Scripting subforum started by Christ (AKA DigitalEDD, a member of the site's Coders group), offering to explain cvars and commands on request. The post itself is a running, editable compendium of scripting knowledge: single-action commands, misc client-side exploits, toggle/loop alias structures, autobuy and rebuy loops, m_pitch tricks, cvar-locking methods, and a rundown of server/rcon console commands. It reads as a community knowledge-base/cheat-sheet thread meant to be expanded by other members over time, typical of the config-and-scripting culture around competitive CS 1.6 servers of that era.

This thread is for posting hints, tips, or secrets that most people may not know in scripting.— Christ

I'll edit this list as ppl contribute...— Christ

Christ Script Pack (CS)

A coder called Christ dumps his all-in-one CS 1.6 script pack — and offers to patch bugs on request.

In the Scripting subforum of Counter-Strike 1.6, a member going by Christ (AKA DigitalEDD, listed as a Coder) posted a personal script pack for CS 1.6 bundling things like config resets, tracers, buy scripts, bhop and lastinv-bhop variants, an auto-pistol script, spam scripts, white walls/full bright combos, a name changer, and some server-side novelty tools. He openly noted a couple of the scripts were likely detectable by anti-cheat, and invited others to report bugs so he could patch and re-upload. The thread ran long (13 pages), suggesting it became a go-to reference/download thread in the scripting community for a while.

Here is my script pack for CS— Christ

Post here for bugs, I'll fix and reload...— Christ

Valve & VAC2 Overview

The old 'so you got VAC banned' explainer thread — straight from the horse's mouth, Fkn0wned-style.

A pinned-style overview thread from Fkn0wned's Counter-Strike: Source section breaking down how VAC2 detection worked and what the site's hack-status labels (VAC2 Proof, VAC2 Detected, VAC2 Unknown) meant for users browsing their cheat database. It also covers the reality of getting permanently banned, the futility of appealing to Valve, and workarounds like unsecured/LAN servers. Posted by co-manager 'Shifty', it reads as a mix of community PSA and cheat-database user guide, capturing the site's role as a hub for the mid-2000s CS:S cheating scene.

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

Word of advice, if you cant live without hacking then I advise you to use texture hacks— Shifty

CS 1.6 Hacking FAQ (Pinned by c0ke, Member No. 1)

The pinned FAQ that every new fkn0wned member had to read before touching a CS 1.6 cheat.

A Support-forum sticky in the Counter-Strike 1.6 section laying out a basic FAQ for installing and running hacks, posted by early member/staffer c0ke. As Member No. 1 and part of the [FkN] Retired Staff, c0ke's post reads like foundational housekeeping for the community — the kind of thread that quietly anchored the whole board's support section for years. The page itself is mostly forum scaffolding (nav links to other game sections, IRC invite, sponsor plug) around a single legacy post.

Social Engineering For Beginners [Tutorial, Tools and Practice Links]

The old 'how to trick people' 101 thread that ran 14 pages deep in the Security & Hacking corner.

A pinned-style tutorial thread in the Security & Hacking section introducing newcomers to social engineering concepts, with linked tools and 'practice' resources. It spawned over a dozen pages of replies, typical of the site's tutorial culture where members traded techniques and discussed the ethics/legality loosely alongside gaming cheats and leeching content. Part of Fkn0wned's broader ecosystem that also hosted cheat databases for CS 1.6, CoD, and other early-2010s multiplayer games.

MSN Exploit Thread

The old 'crash your friend's MSN with a nametag prank' thread — pure 2007 chaos.

A classic mid-2000s prank thread in the Programming subforum: Christobell shared a trick where pasting a certain string into your MSN Messenger display name or a personal message would crash a friend's Messenger client. Bucketface, a senior [FkN] Crew member, vouched that the accompanying fix/removal file was safe, and other members chimed in with a folder-deletion method to undo the crash. The thread devolved into the usual low-effort 'thanks,' 'lol,' and 'gonna try this on my dumb friend' replies typical of the era's harmless troll-tool sharing culture.

It will close there msn and they will never get back on it again unless they have over 2 brain cells.— Christobell

The file for removing it is safe, just so you all know.— Bucketface

Haha, that wolf guy got owned— MMMp!3N00B

So You Want to Write Game Hacks? (2006 Beginner's Thread)

A brand-new noob asks 'what do I need to learn to make hacks?' and the whole forum shows up to argue about C vs C++ vs Linux vs 'social skills'.

A user named mfg kicks off a classic newbie question in the Programming/Hacking section: what languages and skills are needed to start building game cheats. The thread turns into a meandering, mostly good-natured debate about whether you need to learn C before C++, whether books or free tutorials are worth it, and whether 'real' hackers need Linux instead of Windows. It's a snapshot of mid-2000s cheat-scene culture — earnest beginners, self-styled veterans dropping hot takes, and the usual mix of solid advice and confidently wrong claims.

A guide thread by MillerLite walking members through installing and configuring Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (plus Service Pack 6 and the Windows Platform SDK) so they could compile C++ projects — implicitly for the game hacks, botnets, and rootkits scene this section catered to. It warned Windows Vista users the setup wouldn't work and to run a VM instead, which led to a bit of grumbling from 64-bit users. The bulk of the thread is the classic low-effort bump/thanks train — dozens of one-word replies over nearly a year — showing how long-lived and often-referenced this kind of resource thread stayed in the Programming subforum.

ungrateful bastards.. BUMP.— MillerLite

[FAKE] SteamHacker v1.0 — lam3r's Decoy Password Generator

A 'Steam hacker' that hacked nothing but your trust — built to be bundled with keyloggers and handed to unsuspecting kids on YouTube.

In November 2009, longtime crew member lam3r released a deliberately fake 'SteamHacker' tool on fkn0wned's Programming board — a program that did nothing but spit out random fake passwords, explicitly designed as bait so other members could bind it to loggers and trojans and pass it off as a real hacking tool to gullible downloaders. The thread got a warm reception from crew and VIPs, with members praising the idea, requesting mirror links when the first host was ad-choked, and openly discussing using it to 'attract kids on youtube.' One reply from 'albator' pushed back mildly, suggesting the fkn0wned credits/branding be stripped so 'noobs' couldn't trace the deception back to the site.

This program was made for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility for what people do with this program.— lam3r

hmm very nice I'd bind it with something and create carnage— NIX

thanks, this will attract all the kids on youtube— bl1ss

Fkn WebBroser [B3 RC] Release

A homegrown 'Fkn Web Browser' drops its third build, and the whole board shows up just to say 'unhide'

CTSSTC, a member of the Programming subforum, posted the release candidate (B3) of a custom-built web browser tool called 'Fkn WebBroser,' touting new features like an auto-unhide function, a smarter header-jump behavior, and a debug window. The thread is a classic hide-tag release post: a short technical writeup followed by page after page of members posting just to unlock the hidden download link, mixed with a handful of genuine compliments on the build. It's a fun little snapshot of the forum's programming culture and its economy of low-effort 'unhide' bumps.

unhide— joshuar

[D3D] Starter-kit v3.0b — Direct3D hooking/wrapper kit release

The go-to D3D hooking starter-kit that half the forum just spammed 'unhide' for

IrishAsh posted (crediting original author Azorbix) a Direct3D 8/9 programming starter-kit aimed at hobbyist coders building hooks/wrappers for game clients — covering interface setup, injector configuration, and converting a hook into a standalone wrapper DLL. The download was hidden behind a [hide] tag, so the bulk of the thread is a long, low-effort chain of members replying just to unlock it ('unhide plz'). It's a good snapshot of the Programming subforum's culture: a genuinely technical release buried under dozens of one-word bumps from noobs and low-post-count accounts chasing the file.

unhideplz— d1gitalSLR

Thanks, I can't find the one azor posted on g-d ;(.— Spenser

Motley's Programming Tutorial Megathread

One noob's link dump for 12 different languages turned into a forum staple that got pinned.

Back in July 2007, member Motley compiled a hidden (spoiler-tagged) list of external links to beginner tutorials covering everything from Assembly and Batch scripting to C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python, Delphi, Visual Basic, and QBasic. It was a simple resource-sharing post aimed at forum members getting into coding, and it caught on well enough that a moderator (ho0k-) said they'd pin it for its usefulness. Most replies are quick 'thanks'/'unhide' one-liners from members wanting to see the hidden link list, typical of the low-effort bump culture around [hide]-tagged resource threads.

Many people are looking for good programming tutorials, so I thought of putting them all into a topic.— Motley

Going to pin this. It's very useful. Thanks again pINKz.— ho0k-

brian965's Rap-Generating Program Pitch

One member's ambitious 2009 plan to code an AI rap generator — years before anyone said 'AI' out loud

In this Programming subforum thread from late 2009, member brian965 laid out a surprisingly ambitious idea: a program that would take random subject nouns and auto-generate multi-verse raps by analyzing word pronunciations and rhyme patterns. The thread is mostly brian965 talking through the technical roadblocks (finding a pre-made pronunciation dictionary, detecting rhymes programmatically) while other members chime in with skepticism, language suggestions, and pointers toward sites like RhymeZone. Nothing was ever finished, but the thread captures the earnest, half-serious hobbyist coding energy typical of the forum's Tech & Security section.

nothing is too hard to make.— brian965

it is way to hard to make i think :/— Yunyun

sounds pretty fucking hard lmao...— lam3r

[Script] ES Bhop Script by SNK

SNK drops a bhop script with god-mode fall damage recovery — and half the replies are just people begging to 'unhide'

In October 2009, forum smod SNK posted a bunnyhop script for Counter-Strike: Source in the Scripts/Tools subforum, packaged with extras like a !scout command, noblock, and near-infinite HP that regenerated after fall damage. The thread quickly turned into the classic forum-hidden-content ritual, with dozens of members posting single-word 'unhide,' 'ty,' or 'thanks' replies just to unlock the code, alongside a few genuine questions about whether it was just a spacebar-spam script and if a bypasser was needed. It's a small but perfect snapshot of the era's script-sharing culture and forum economy of reply-to-unlock content.

Its almost a complete bhop script... There is a !scout command, noblock, 999999 hp from spawn, respawn after death and when you lose health by falling its will restore your hp to 999999 GL & HF!— SNK

Is this a bunnyhop that liek spams spacebar? so you can just hold spacebar to bhop and do we need a bypasser for this.— FknTheMan

School Filters Gone for Good

The classic bored-in-computer-class thread: five pages of kids quoting a hidden guide just to get past their school's web filter.

A long-running Red Light District thread built around an original 2007 post (by krakowwak) promising a method to permanently bypass school internet filters so students could reach sites like MySpace and Newgrounds. By this fifth page the actual content is long buried behind forum spoiler tags, so the thread has devolved into dozens of members quoting the original post and just replying 'unhide' or 'let me see' to unlock it, plus a mix of one-word reactions and a little off-topic banter. It's a snapshot of mid-2000s forum culture — locked/hidden content driving engagement, quote-farming for access, and a very identifiable audience of school-aged gamers.

Ever wish there was a way to get rid of those annoying school filters? Well now there is a way to get rid of them for good.— krakowwak

All in One Rapidshare Tools

The thread every Rapidshare hoarder bookmarked — a year straight of 'ty', 'unhide', and cursing at rapidshit

Posted by member Pwnagraphy in December 2006, this was a classic Red Light District release thread bundling a grab-bag of Rapidshare.de utilities — IP renewers, cookie deleters, link grabbers, search tools, and proxy lists — into one download. It went on to run for over a year, collecting hundreds of low-effort 'thanks/unhide/ty' replies typical of the file-sharing scene of the time, with a few members venting their frustration at Rapidshare's download limits along the way. It's a snapshot of the mid-2000s Rapidshare grind culture, when getting around download caps was a forum pastime in itself.

Motherfucking RS you bitch mother fucker yo...— YoshMitSu

Keeping the Scammed WoW Toon: Making It 'Legit'

The follow-up to a World of Warcraft account-scamming guide, teaching how to launder a stolen character into a 'legit' one permanently.

Posted in the Other Games section under Fkn0wned's Gaming board, this thread is a sequel to an earlier account-theft guide, this time focused on making a scammed WoW character permanently untraceable by its original owner. The OP alice laid out an elaborate multi-step process involving new accounts, trial characters, server transfers, and getting the victim's original account banned so the theft could never be reported or reversed. The replies are almost entirely low-effort one-liners ('thanks', 'unhide', 'sweet', 'lol') from members hiding-tag-unlocking the post, showing how routine this kind of content was for the community rather than anything shocking.

Register any email on MSN [[email protected]]

The old MSN trick that let you make your Hotmail address @fbi.gov

A member named Fenway posted a 2007-era browser script tutorial for bypassing MSN/Hotmail's domain restriction during signup, letting users register an email under any custom domain (jokingly demonstrated with fbi.gov). Staff member Fluffman clowned the OP for a minor code typo before confirming it worked and flexing his new joke email address. Another member ribbed the OP for accidentally posting the thread multiple times. A pretty typical lighthearted 'Red Light District > Tutorials' post from the site's early script-kiddie/prank era.

Congratulations you fucked up the code. Javascript is one word. Other than that it works. Could be useful. Thanks— Fluffman

Cool now my new MSN address is [email protected] Feel free to add me!— Fluffman

yea nice job kinda interesting but you posted in 3 times— doobie5

How to enable Copy/Paste and unhide Steam passwords

A quick Steam trick from '09 that got the whole tutorials board saying thanks — including one guy who admitted he'd use it for phishing.

A short tutorial posted by moderator NIX in the Tutorials section, showing how to enable copy/paste and reveal masked passwords on the Steam login screen, illustrated with a screenshot. The reply chain is mostly one-word thanks ('unhide', 'ty', 'thx') from a wide cross-section of regulars, showing how popular and low-effort-to-praise these small utility tutorials were. One reply stands out as a candid, unsettling admission of intent to misuse the trick for phishing, capturing the site's mixed legit-tech/cheat-scene culture.

great ! i can use this while im phishing— Slickz

YES NIX YOU ARE THE BEST— Numi

thanks should be useful— a-lusion

iStealer 6.0 Setup + Download [Noob Friendly]

The tutorial that taught a generation of fkn0wned noobs how to stand up their own password-stealer logger, one 000webhost account at a time.

A step-by-step tutorial posted by longtime VIP member m1sterfopje walking members through setting up 'iStealer 6.0', a saved-password stealer tool, including registering free web hosting, configuring a MySQL database, editing the PHP logger, and building/testing the stealer executable. The thread explains the tool isn't undetectable out of the box and touches on crypters and the limits of stealing Steam credentials. It's a classic 'cheat scene' tutorial thread of its era, complete with disclaimers about reuploading someone else's build, and drew a steady trickle of one-word 'thanks' replies over roughly a year of bumps.

i fucking love you— Blackfathom

finally a good working link, been looking for one for ages!— Nickiller007

Congratulations, you have just set up your own iStealer 6.0 server— m1sterfopje

Steam Phishing Tutorial (Slickz's SneekerN-modded guide) — the 'unhide' spam thread

A modded phishing guide that got 9 pages of 'unhide' replies and not much else.

Posted in the Tutorials section, Slickz shared a reworked version of a phishing guide credited to 'SneekerN', hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall. The thread ballooned to nine pages, but almost every reply is just a one-word 'unhide' or 'sneek' to unlock the hidden content rather than actual discussion. It captures the era's give-away culture and casual account-jacking normalized on the board, with staff and banned members alike replying alongside regular posters.

MAJOR TY to SNEEKERN— Slickz

fffffuuuuuu- i liekd when the hide tag didnt work. o.O gotta check it out anyways— THEFORCE

CSS Phishing: How to Not Get Disabled Accounts

OldSchool drops a Counter-Strike: Source phishing tutorial and the whole board lines up to say 'unhide'

A veteran VIP member named OldSchool posted a guide in the Tutorials section explaining how to avoid getting phished accounts disabled while running CSS (Counter-Strike: Source) phishing operations, gated behind the classic 'reply to see hidden content' trick. The thread quickly filled with a long chain of low-effort replies ('unhide', 'ty', 'hmm') from a mix of regulars, VIPs, and even an admin, all just farming access to the hidden guide. It's a pretty representative snapshot of the era's account-phishing subculture and the reply-to-unlock forum economy that dominated tutorial threads.

Why do my accounts get disabled while phishin?— OldSchool

ooh let me see— ap3x

ah, hope this works.— blast3r

BF2 Map Glitch Guide (Warlord/Ghost Town Hides) - Final Page

A legendary Battlefield 2 glitch guide runs 16 pages deep, still collecting 'ty' posts years later.

This is the final page of a long-running Battlefield: 2 thread sharing a map glitch guide (compatible with game version 1.41), covering exploits like hiding spots referenced as the 'warlord' and 'ghost town' glitches. By this point the thread has devolved into the classic tail-end pattern of short thank-you replies and quick tips from members requesting spots be 'unhidden' or shared again. It's a good snapshot of the low-effort but high-volume gratitude culture around popular cheat/exploit guides on Fkn0wned's Other Games section.

thanks bro: i only know the warlord ones and the ghost town one— nooblet869

no hide anymoooooooore— TadSaunders

Thanks a lot— Curly
