I found another way to catch hackers by analyzing their replays. This method gives more concrete proof than the lack of suspicious actions method (it can prove 100% hack from as little as 1 replay). I have PMed hotbid a detailed explanation since he was simply the bomb at handling things last time. But he has not responded, maybe he is on vacation or something, does anyone know?

Last time we caught alot of hackers and then the hack makers patched their hacks in a few days. Since it hasn't been that long since then, there probably aren't going to be many replays to get and find more hackers. So I'm thinking the best thing to do is to simply announce that there is a new way catch hackers, but without announcing how. Hopefully this will discourage people from hacking in the first place (at least in tournaments and stuff). I would like to think that I prefer to prevent people from hacking in the first place than actually catching them. Hopefully there can be a news post so hackers can know to stop hacking.

I will also promise to reveal the method by some fixed date to prove that I am not bluffing, and to allow replays from now till then to accumulate. The date should probably be something like Jan 1, 2009. In the meantime I would be happy to look at replays from tournaments to make sure no glory goes to the undeserving.

On another note I am on the counter abuse team at iccup now, but I haven't done anything yet mainly due to timezone difference for communicating with Juppi who was teaching me what to do. I probably should be taking some initiative on my own though, so I apologize to him for my lazyness.

Also, I have a non-serious way to catch hackers, which I think is pretty funny and surprisingly accurate although I would never use it as proof. I'll share that in a later post for fear of bloating this one too much.

I think hacker is a big name.

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

Cheater is fine.

He probably just forgot to respond. He told me about this and I was supposed to give you the WCG USA Spades replays so you can confirm once again that he's a faggot, but I forgot.

why don't you just not release how its done, and study the reps for tournaments.

That way hackers will still get caught, but have no idea how

good job

and yes i agree, if you don't give out the method then the hackers can't update their hacks to counter it

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.

This is really good to hear. Hopefully it'll catch those who hack and discourage others from using them.

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
