2 Explanation of the method
3 How to use the method.
4 NaW and RoX
5 TT1, TroNiC, Spades
6 Conclusion
7 Replay packages
Using a newly discovered method in BWChart to identify hackers eight players have been caught already. Who will be next?


Five of the big community and ladder sites in the StarCraft scene are now working together, with a new method, trying to find the hackers out there.



A person over at TeamLiquid.net, who goes by the nickname Flag, has found a new method that helps us finding players using the Oblivion hack, even when they're not using the auto-split function. So far, eight players have been caught and more are on the suspicion list. GosuGamers, together with TeamLiquid, WGTour, SCLegacy and ICCup, are all in on this together, trying to make the community take action against these cheaters as soon as a decision has been made on each site.

RoX.Localhost, TT1, RoX.eXeCuToR, RoX.Killah, Excello.Tronic, NaW-SenSei, NaW-PuSh, and sMi.Spades are the nicknames of the players caught as of yet, but as mentioned above, more are sure to come. Hopefully, this will help the StarCraft community one step further towards a hack free scene.

Nice job Flag. This method really can prove than someone was not using this kind of maphack, and provided enough replays, to know that someone hack. It was the last one i knew to find out, i never released it because :
1 - Cheaters invent excuses even when using check that gives a 100% proof, so accusing with statistical methods was not a fight i was ready to pick.
2 - Unfortunately cheat makers tend to do whatever they can to ruin the game play more, and making their cheat "undetectable" seems to be "cool" or "fun" for them. (especially when there is that much big coverage with this kind of article). Don't be too much confident when you want to say "this method will help us in the future"
3 - There's a 3, but i will only discuss it with Flag or with the author of this article. I don't know if it's still valid with those new hacks.

Back in the old days, i made a secret command to count "enemy selects" in penguinplug for each players directly from watching replays. It was *much more* accurate to count them in game than in BWchart because BW chart unit owner is a guess job so it will only show 20% of real enemy selects. After looking to a guy that has 0 enemy selects in 2 or 3 replays in a row, i was starting to look more and more until i could find a "targeting an out of vision unit" proof, but then cheat makers changed that 2nd behavior to be changed in an attack move and "getting a proof" was impossible.

Enjoy it while it lasts...

PS: I have lost any hopes in blizzard actually give this "cheat-free environment" they promised years ago in SC, and i suggest a "boycott SC2" campaign if their game design is so weak when faced with cheaters... I still get many email from people who ask me to "invent anti-cheats" but the truth is it's the game editor job to design the game correctly. When i understood i was doing what should have been blizzard job, i resigned from SC programming.

Strelok is clean. The guys at tl found his replay with 0 selects but it was in a group of several hundred similar replays with selects. It's the 1% margin of error they were talking about in a given game. Whereas all these people have got 0 over and over in consequtive games. That's why Strelok wasn't even accused in the article while the others were found guilty.

Zarrr (ger-a), Milosh (ger-b), localhost (rus-a), TT1 (can-a), Xzoz (nor-a).... really hard. x_X

But good work everyone! Keep going!
Cheating destroys a game (see diablo 2), and if we want to continue having fun with bw, we have to defend it!

No second chance for cheaters!

#77, you better be joking cuz I really dont think Chosen hacks, or ever has.

I just checked like 20 reps of his and he has plenty of clicks.
8 months ago
#80 Honestly.
#78 #79 You are the reasons why the BW community is so ignorant on finding hackers. You are the reason why players like TT1, Executor, and Hungtran get into the top 10 rankings on here. Get a VOD of Chosen playing vs any terran/protoss, he wont play half his skill.

Honestly, without evidence you cannot make accusations especially not about strelok or chosen who have both done well for years with no accusation....

Please post evidence or stop posting at all.

#93 LordWeird 4
Actually, if you KNEW, I didn't let TT1 participate because I believed he was hacker. You just made an account to throw accusations around everywhere. Nobody knows who you are and you have no proof, please be aware that can and will lead to problems. :(
