Yes, that would be nice, but it isnt' realistic.

Juts googling the name of the hack has gotten me like 10 download links. I cannot belive Blizzard doesn't know about those website. It's not even private! Nothing stops them from downloading it and fiding a way to fix it or find a way to caugh people that are using it.
Guess there will always be hackers, no matter what you do. It's kind of sad if you think about it. I doubt Blizzard are that ignorant of such hacks. As we know, bans come in waves and they are probably trying to fix it right now, it just takes some time perhaps? I think that banning in waves is a terrible idea. Why should we have to endure people that hacks for like 2-3 months before they finnally get banned. If I steal a car I will get arrested as soon as the police finds evidence that it was i that stole the car, not afther 3 months when they decide that it is time to arrest everyone that commit in crime in the past 6 months. It's not about stopping the hacks, it's about perception. It impresses more people when Blizzard is able to say "We banned over 9000 accounts this month that we caught hacking." instead of quietly staying on top of the problem. I think that Blizzard believes that making grand announcements will scare more people into avoiding the use of hacks in the first place, when really, the best defense against hacks is a quick response before it gets out of hand. I don't think it's necessarily about perception ... because you can always ban in smaller waves and just announce after 6 months ... "we've banned over 9000 accounts". You can still do things incrementally and then announce after a certain period of time that you've banned a certain impressive number of accounts.
You might be right, but in a case like you describe the word would still get out to the community that hackers are being banned, and the hacks would actually be pulled while the programmers tried to create something else.
Probably resulting in way less bans by Blizzard, because a large number of cheats would be prevented from cheating in the first place. Resulting in less opportunity for Blizzard to make grand announcements about how well they're controlling the hacking in their games. I believe the perception that they are responding to hackers is more important to them than the perception that they're preventing the hackers from cheating to begin with. It's incredibly hard to announce that "We've PREVENTED over 9000 hackers from cheating this month." and a lack of announcements of banning people would leave many casual gamers (Blizzard's most important group to target and impress) suspecting that Blizzard simply aren't catching the vast majority of the players who DO cheat.
They could always keep an active list somewhere that would track all of the banned account-names for people to reference, but that would still hinder their ability to make grand announcements to the masses (the people that Blizzard considers most important).
That said, I could be entirely wrong, at this point I'm just talking out of my ass with hypotheses.

Absolutely unrealistic. But ideal, certainly.

After reading several pages after the admissions, to me it seems like a bunch of hacker friends had a split up and now are trying to take each other down. Looks like PinkPrincess is the only survivor from looking at the icons. Hacker Shore, lots of drama!

This could have been right, except for the fact that sorcery came out of the closet and blatantly told the entire starcraft community that he hacks.
And didnt attack anyone else.

After reading some of the posts in here, I didn't believe the features that hacks had. Observer features (unit/production tabs), not showing in replays etc...
So I went and had a quick google and the first hack that shows up has not only these features, but also things like Nuke alerts where it pings on minimap, instantly beat AI (what is the point in this?), ability to watch other people's cameras, achievement unlocking...
holy shit, how do people using these things not get caught? hell, how is it possible to unlock the observer mode features when you're playing unless Blizzard severely fucked up their protection?

It is possible because everything that you see in a replay is avalible on your computer while playing the game. It isn't server side, so that means all you have to do is hack your own computer to get the info. This is how all of these hacks work, and why the only thing blizzard can do is monitor the programs you use and ban you later (they can never stop the hacks if it is available on your computer they can only ban offenders and make the hackers create work arounds).

reading about all these hacking stuff really demotivates from playing the ladder. a shame.

If the hacking was done on iGware's account by sorcery, why are you so sure they also hacked in those 2v2s?

You mean you want to download them and use them yourself... Google's not hard, takes anyone with a widget of computer knowledge 30 seconds to find them. People here dont like hackers, sure you might dominate your platinum division on the ladder until you are eventually caught (blizzard detected every single hack in wow that was put onto a public website, this aint a 10 year old game any more and they are quite serious).

is it me or everytime someone gets caught hacking they say they only hacked "sometimes" such gay shit
