Why can't Blizzard be as fast as Team Liquid? What I think is funny is this guy was doing it in Season 1 and still has his account to do it in Season 2.

I mean, I understand the concept of letting people think it's safe to use hacks and then getting a lot of them at once, but jeeze. Eventually you have to do something.

Did I get dropped hacked?

The weird thing is it didn't say they were slowing down the game, it slowed down my SC2 to the point that it was completely unplayable, less than one frame a second. While it was happening I could quickly and easily alt-tab out to browse the web or whatever, so my computer itself wasn't bogged down, just SC2. Then after a few minutes of being completely unplayable, I was dropped from the game. As soon as I got back to the menu the game was running smooth as normal and it hasn't done that since.

Has anyone encountered this?


Yea. It happened to me in a 3v3 yesterday. Funny thing was, my friend and I just disregarded it, claiming "Blizzard's servers are currently sucking" and played more custom matches.

Hmmmm..... I've gotta check that replay.


Yeah so I went back and watched the replay, it's really strange because the replay makes my game slow down the same way as when it happened on ladder!

It came to a complete crawl where the UI would hardly respond and I had to quit out. Either it is some very obscure bug with the game or that guy was using some kind of hack or exploit. I am going to send the replay to Blizzard and hopefully that guy will get banned if needed. Sadly, if you do some poking around hacker forums you will find that they are quite common and easy, and they seem to have a good idea of how to now get caught.

What surprises me in this is the reaction of the moderator on the linked thread before (this one). He says Blizzard cannot delete this account, because they are limited by their own programs.
How the hell could they have been so arrogant to think they didn't needed any solution "in case of" ? Did they seriously think their system was unbreakable by any means ?

I still keep my Dell computer that I bought from 1998, UNMODIFIED.

Single core CPU, 500MB ram, 10GB harddisk storage space.

Now you try install SC2 and play on it

this guy is definitely suspicious
he doesnt have that many games played, and has a nearly perfect record (last time i checked, he did)
i saw him get matched up with select on his stream. this guy pillage has the funniest match history
its all wins and games all within a couple of minutes of each other.
I have no idea what he's doing but hes already at the top of the ladder, it kinda messes up the ladder points for the players in grandmasters that play a lot.

Just to be clear: ExcaliburZ is an MVP (sort of equivalent to TL highlighted user) but not a moderator on those forums.

Neither of them have played a game in 2 days, so they may have been banned. Worth keeping an eye on for any more activity

Uhhh... no. Good coding can prevent hackers. Hackers are basically exploiting flaws. If there are no flaws, there are no hackers.


Uhh ... no. Unless the game runs on a blizzard host and sends only data, that the player needs, you cannot prevent maphacks.
No? You don't need to run the "game", but only a very simple and resource cheap algorithm just to check vision. And it doesn't even need to be on a "blizzard server". Ex.: on tourneys like TSL a third party trusted judge with low latency could do that.

Technologically, map hacks are trivial to solve. And drop hacks are just... stupid to even talk about. It's just flat poor coding that causes it to exist. Any hack is an exploit of a security flaw. Any hack can be fixed with changing your code and/or design architecture.

Agreed. Do we have any confirmation that any correctional coding has been planned or implemented yet? Or are we still at the mercy of Blizz to do something when, and if, they want?

Confirmation will come from some <random> ~wave~ of bans...

Whatever. I can't wait for this sort of shenanigans to stop.

This hack is possible even with blizzard hosting the games. It's a pretty big glaring hole in their implementation for this to be possible by one of the clients. They've had this type of hack since Beta.

Here's my speculation as to how the hack worked, and why it should no longer work (i.e. safe to ladder):
There have been reports of very high APM from the hacker. Presumably he uses a macro which spams many action without delay between them (can be done easily with only a macro program). Too many actions cause problems with the connection (they all have to be transferred), and forces opponent to drop.
However, last patch had the "no artificially increased APM" fix. None of these hackers had any games played after the patch, so I think that this means the hack is nullified.
My guess is, since the issue was patched so closely to the hack, is that the issue was found out by a QA tester, and somehow leaked to the hacker. The hacker knew that this issue would be patched quickly, so he had a small window to take advantage of it.
Think about it, why else would that fix be included in the patch? Doesn't seem like Blizz wanted to stop people from APM spamming to 400 and showing off their e-peen...

AmX on the EU server just hacked against me using this drop hack. He's currently 48-7 and an extremely bad player.

Hell, I'll upload the replay. I play embarrassingly badly (proxy gate and then lose my probe) and still pull out a win (he pulls all of his SCVs and randomly attacks me and I easily hold, go to counter attack), until he drop hacks. The replay file even stutters where he hacks. It's so weird.
