Several replays were provided. My note are as follows.

2:12 Looks around again
5:21 Moves zerglings back to address cannons to which he has no vision at his 3rd.

Antiga Shipyard (55)
10:00 Looks around in base
11:30 Looks again
12:20 Loos at army before engaging

]cloud kingdom LE (3)

6:07 - Peeks at gases
6:58 - Looks at Zealot
7:00 Looks at empty main
8:29 - Peeks fast
11:27 Looks at army
13:22 peeks at front of base

13:30 - Auto inject? REALLY fast injects, 4 bases in 1 second.
14:04 - Auto inject? REALLY fast injects, 4 bases in 1 second.
15:10 - Auto inject? REALLY fast injects, 4 bases in 1 second.

Antiga Shipyard
6 Pool. Scouts lucky.

Daybreay (231)
Nothing notable, usual fascination with checking and double checking his scouting overlords and looking around where they are going.

Entombed Valley (197)
Scouts Verticle position start. (pre patch?) !!!
4:00 Frequent looks
4:45 Probe at his 3rd.
8:20 looks at front wall
12:20 looks at front wall off
15:01 Auto inject? injects so fast.
16:04 Same as above

Cloud kingdom (189)
Scouts a 4gate by protoss with no expo, and expands to his 3rd at 5:46 after protoss takes his expo. Has virtually no army.
6:30 fast peek at attack incoming
odd thing, his vision shows the timer on hallucinated phoenix. ??
19:48 Peeks at protoss 4th.

Entombed Valley (87)
5:32 peeks at front
9:00 Takes blind 4th after opponent expands with 20 lings as sole defense.

Entombed Valley (86)
6pools close by ground positions. Lucky.

Shakuras Plateau (63)
"Finds" probe with lings at 3rd
9:20 - Push moves out, no vision, instantly makes static defenses at natural and 3rd bases
13:00 Looks at observer
15:21 Peeks through Fog at stalkers shooting at rocks.

Replay # 296889 vs Revelations
-Looks at front wall severall times
-Sends lings to front wall which is not completed.

Several instances are key and are sure tells for me:
Addressing the unknown Cannons on Daybreak LE (82);
Expanding to 3rd though an impending and scouted 4gate or similar push is incoming Cloud kingdom (189);
Taking a blind 4th on Entombed Valley (87);
and the solid look at the stalkers breaking down rocks on Shakuras Plateau (63)

NOTE: This player hides peeks and looks through fog of war VERY well, under the guise of overlord or army units. One example of this is on Cloud Kingdom, as well as other maps, where he will move the army and click on the ramp or near the wall, get his look, and then move elsewhere on the map. The force sometimes is so small that it is obvious there is no intent to attack, and often times does not even poke to see what defense or units are present. This is especially evident on 4 player maps, where he will often send out the overlords to scout, and a GREAT deal of attention to the overlord scouting the proper position will be made, clicking and looking at the opponents base, though actual position not yet scouted proper.
If an overlord has vision of an area, almost always the player is looking at the fog of war near this overlord, not at what the overlord actually has vision of. Having watched MANY replays, his vision habits regarding scouting overlords is not normal or even close to it. He's constantly looking around "moving" his overlords in the opponents base and area.

My Opinion. The player is using a production tab hack and map hack and is exceedingly smart about it, and disguses most peeks as "movements" of units or overlords. Possible inject hack or assist is employed.

To clarify, is DuStSwarm a hacker? He's currently in the running for one of the SHOUTcraft America slots.
