Reports are protected with BWHF authorization keys.
Only those who possess a valid authorization key can report hackers. And these keys can be revocated at any time if used inappropriately.
More details on these keys:
http://code.google.com/p/bwhf/wiki/AuthorizationKeys
And even if the hacker database server is down, your clients can still check players because BWHF Agent maintains a local cache of the hacker database (which is automatically updated at an interval of your choice or manually at any time).

good to know you actually got ahead of those threats
no worries, this is in good hands <3

Nevermind. I didn't see the authorization keys.
Good work.

it DOES interact with StarCraft, as it depends on the LastReplay.rep saved by StarCraft. I could make a plugin, which alters this path to sort the last replay into matchup folders and BWHF would fail. sure this is a bullshit scenario, i just wanted to pick a little on him :D

the amount of hackers on east is lol

I hope this program won't recognize macusers as hackers like AH2.0map.

The agent reports hackers based on your last replay. It has nothing to do with the operating system or launcher or battle.net gatway.

I disagree. From your points:
-I did not copy Starcraft.
-I did not photocopy Starcraft.
-I did not reproduce Starcraft.
-I did not reverse engineer Starcraft.
-I did not derive source code from Starcraft.
-I did not modify Starcaft.
-I did not disassemble Starcraft.

thanks dakota_fanning! you're totally underrated, you've done some really nice stuff for bw
some questions about the program though - using replays for hack detection has been known to produce false positives, for example indicating multicommand in replays of laggy games. will people with single erroneous reports be identified as hackers? if so, it might be nice to have 1-2 report buffer to prevent this. also, does this program report use of BWLowLatency? i use this fairly often when playing with friends that don't have chaos.
finallyyyyy, let me know if you are looking for more people to give keys to. i bgh quite often on east and run into a lot of shady characters!

I personally don't care much if I was hacked against but it feels good to know. That's why this program rocks so much..
Also, almost everytime i play a hacker I win the game or lose because of ridiculous usage of maphack.
Anyways great job making this thread and answering all the questions from people you are a hero

The lag issue is known and is built into the scan engine. It will not give false positives due to lag.
There is no distinction between "certain" or "suspicious" reports. A report always means hacker. If there are doubts that the player is hacker, then no report is sent and the user is not alerted.
The use of latchanger is not flagged as hack (not even if the user manages to give commands at iteraion 5).

then tell me where this code is comming from:
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=de#R3PjQYgHtjw/trunk/src/hu/belicza/andras/bwhf/control/BinReplayUnpacker.java&q=unpack package:http://bwhf\.googlecode\.com

does it detect map hacks as well? i've been using it for a few weeks now and i've never seen a map hack detected....it's always multi command and auto gather :p
btw thank you so much for a great program
|
it does not detect maphack. it theoretically could detect it if maphack is not using safeclicks.
|
It detects any action at 5 as a hack. I have a replay where I have actions at 5, a normal manual split, and it says its a hack.
Donno how there are actions at 5 and 10 rather than 6 and 12. Maybe terrible lag at the beginning with lan lat does that?
Plus, any decently minded cheater just turns off autosplit
|
Dakota,
What happens if there are 2 hackers in 1 game? Will it announce both hackers like "hacker blue zerg, hacker red zerg" ?
|
When a hacker is found, does it just add their nickname to the list of known hackers? What if they change or use someone else's nickname?
|
this is some good stuff, will blizz use something like this in SC2?

As you can read in the beginning of the file in the javadoc comment:
The algorithm comes from JCA's bwreplib.
Java port and optimization for Java environment by Andras Belicza.
This code is not part of Starcraft and not derived from Starcraft. It's the decoder part of the code algorithm used to pack replay files.
Starcraft creates screenshots in PCX format. Why didn't u point out my PCX loader code too? Maybe because PCX screenshots are not part of Starcraft? Maybe replays aren't too?
