How about he picks a date to release the source for the hack detection? But until that date he just releases who he caught, not how they were caught. It's brilliant.


yeah

and why not just never release the method excpet to trusted tournament admins

that way the hackers never know the method used, and it isnt useless come january 2nd


because those select few could abuse their power! with great power comes great responsibility. someone send flag some spider-man dvd's and everything will be okay

That's a pretty good idea.

@Flag: can you estimate how easily they'll be able to patch once your new method is released?

Usually the replay based dectections are easily fixed. Most methods only work when the user enables the wrong hacks(automine, autobuild, minhack etc). The remaining traces are usually due to some bug(buggy safeclicks like the last bug flag found) or designerror(no safeclick support at all...) in a hack.
The first kind is usually not fixed, but can be disabled in the config. Thus it is easier to catch a random public player who has them enabled than it is to catch a ladder player who has safemode enabled. But from time to time even the supposedly safe features leave traces in the replay which flag the finds

If you're going to analyze the WCG USA replays, then analyze all of them, not just the suspected hackers

I mean, do these people encode anything? probably not.

Cheater is fine.

I agree, to me hacker means hacking something which implies skill, but running a bw hack that someone else wrote doesn't take any. It is just convention though to call them that.

Alright send me replays when you're ready. One thing though, did these people actually win anything or place well in tournament? It would be best to only check winners, because by announcing who hacks and who doesn't, hackers could start to piece together which hacks are detectable and which aren't, if there are any. I wouldn't mind checking one for others but results should be kept in closed circle.

Suppose your favorite player got caught, banned etc, and you just had to take my word for it. You'd be pretty pissed off, thinking I'm a liar, have an agenda, or just made a mistake. At least this way you'll know that any wrong will eventually be righted. It's the same reason people want a concrete date that we will be out of Iraq by even though it would be better to just get out as soon and efficiently as possible how ever long that takes. Also this way people can check on their own over replays, I can't easily check all replays that are out there.

Hahah sweet
After your last method I was thinking the probability of catching hackers would now be a lot lower than before, but here you surprise us yet again!

I hope it works well. Good job!

Flag, congratulations on discovering a new method.

You should get some people who are familiar with server-side coding (ASP, PHP, JSP, .NET, etc) to help you write a web-based application to check for the hacks. I'm assuming that your new method can be determined mathematically? By setting up a web page where a user can upload the replay, you can keep the source safe, while allowing everyone in the community to use your findings.

If any part of this does not make sense, let me know.

Just wait till TSL2 ends in my opinion. (when btw?) ^^

Waiting too much could also be bad because know that they know that there is some catching it. They will prolly try to find holes and eventually find it, and fix it, before we can benefit too much.

Anyway great job flag, keep it up
