This thread is a continuation and the future of the GM/Master Maphack thread initiated by Zwei and then resumed by Nunez. Feel free to discuss about hackers, the program, the website, option you want to have, suggestions, everything you want !
Original Hacker's Thread : Original Thread
First, i would like to show my respect for Zwei and Nunez for work and i'm glad that Nunez is a part of the project's future.
As you know, tracking down hackers is a full-time job. Even if you find a hacker, you need to find information to manually compare these information with the database of the thread.
Secondly, the update is directly related to the members who analyse the replays and we all know that's a hard work that can take hours while work and family are a part of the equation.
In this perspective, a website will soon be available. This site will include tools to help you detect a hacker, a thread for each replay, alias analysis, multiple search options, a list of hackers updated in real time and many other things ...
To assist in this research, a program was created (Sc2 HDB Online Checker). This program retrieves the list of confirmed hackers and notify you in the game, even in the loading screen, if you played a hacker known.
Although the program only reads some data SC2 minimal, it is against the Blizzard's EULA. You should use this program at your own risk. If you read the Blizzard's EULA, you can see this :
D.Use any unauthorized third-party software that intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the Game or the Service, including without limitation any software that reads areas of RAM used by the Game to store information; provided, however, that Blizzard may, at its sole and absolute discretion, allow the use of certain third party user interfaces;
A word by Nunez
motivation
one of the key motivators for me contributing to the tl/gm master hacker thread is that when people who follow the thread queue up vs a guy they know is a hacker, they can adapt their playstyle and have a much easier time avoiding defeat. the downside to this kind of set up is that the only people who can reap the benefits of my contribution are the people who follow the thread and remember the names. with more and more barcodes appearing, this facet of the thread is growing ever weaker.
enter Sc2HDB
this tool by Sc2HDB potentially puts it right back into business, and if used could be a vast improvement over the old set up. now the only steps you need to take to take advantage of this community effort is to download this app, and it will notify you when you queue up vs a hacker in the database. we could even in the future see an automatic subission of replay vs confirmed or supsected hackers, or automatic reporting to blizzard. contributing would be really easy.
the nitty gritty
what the app does is simply to download a list of confirmed hackers from a server, and checks if the id of your ingame opponent and you are in that list. if one or both are it will beep and display them as "reported".
requirements
we, the community, will still need to put effort into this if we want to combat this problem. the database will still need to be maintained by volunteers in similar fashion, and this will still be tedious work. hopefully this new potential gain will rejuvenate the thread and encourage more people to contribute, more people to take advantage of this list as well as making hacking less rewarding.
a call to action
it would be very nice if the people who think they might want to be a contributor would send me or Sc2HDB a pm. i can't tell you what this specifically will entail yet, but i don't think it will be any different from how the TL GM/Master Hacker thread operates.

Zwei get's no recognition for starting and maintaining the hacker thread for so long before nunez took control?

Sc2HDB Online Checker - updated to work with SC2 2.0.7
The Disclaimer has been updated thanks to Mavvie for my grammar mistakes.
The Database still contain confirmed hackers from the first post and i'm working hard to put the website online ASAP since they are more and more hackers reported but not confirmed.
I'm also hiring admins for the website ! If you are interested, please PM me with your Skype Contact. Admins are very important since only Administrator can confirm a hacker, warn/ban users, and so on.. They need to be trustfull persons and i will only accept active users from TL.

That's a great job you are doing here. Can you tell us a bit more about the services the website will be providing ?
We can read on the website "v0.6 : Offset updated to work with Sc2 2.0.7"
How long did it take to retrieve the new offset ? In other words, how long are the maphack tools inactive after a new patch.

i'm pretty sure updating a maphack takes more time than this tool..

Godspeed. This is quite a noble endeavor.

Only if they change the data structure in the client, which might not be the case in small patches.
EDIT : already met a hacker in 2.0.7, so I kinda got the answer...

The tool has been updated since the program may crash. I made it "Themida-Free" and include the source code. This tool become Open Source !
|
I love this idea. Plz, all hackers down 
Keep up the good work !

i wouldn't call them "hackers", they most likely no next to nothing about "hacking". They are just cheaters who download programs from the internet and run them.....

I'm not sure if this question is out of place here, but does anyone know why Blizzard is allowing 'barcoding' a name with L and i? Why don't they prohibit the use of L and I in more than 3 consecutive letters?
Personally I find it very annoying not to know who I am watching on a stream playing against my streamer, and it's also a (as noted in the OP) way to hide your identity when hacking the game.

What does it exactly change for a hacker?
He could just name himself djfho and next time podruztd or sdifherr maybe sdofihre also.

Help Needed
As you may know, the tool that retrieve the ID from Sc2 Memory may be considered as against Blizzard ToU.
This tool has been designed at a time when i believed that no other way could be used to find the Battle.net ID and SubID before the end of the game (-> replay).
Well, some weeks ago i found something interessting. A way to retrieve your opponent ID whitout using any 3rd party tools !
How ?
On windows, everytime you launch a game, the process will create temporary files that will be used in the replay. At everygame, you can look at : C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\. A "Starcraft II" folder will appear. In this folder, an other folder will be created under the name "TempWriteReplayP1".
So, while you are in game, you can check the C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Starcraft II\TempWriteReplayP1\
Everytime a game is finished, Starcraft II folder and all content are deleted to make the replay. On the full path, you can see the file replay.server.battlelobby where you can find your Character Name with his Code and same for your Opponent. ie: LiquidTest#145
Help ?
While some data are in plain text, some other information are encrypted like the data from replays.
I contacted the creator of Sc2Gears but he's pretty busy to check at these files right now but telled me it would be pretty easy to parse.
Is there someone here that will be available to check at these files and maybe make some kind of plug-in for sc2gears that will compare the data with the database from Stacraft 2 Hacker Database that you can found at : http://www.starcraft2hackerdatabase.com/sc2hdb.txt
This way, users can use sc2gears and an offline tool instead of the current one !
Thanks guys !

A new user of TL made a MAC Version of the Tool. His name is SPoF. Be sure to check is own version if you are a mac user.

Website Update
Everything is nearly done. I just need to put some extra options for admins but everything is fine. While the dead line is still set to May 1, i hope the website will be online sooner !

The tool has been updated to v0.8, fixing some bugs for the gateway and changed offset to have faster results.
* Database updated *

Thanks for this, I have two issues:
1) I don't have a numpad so I don't have a numpad plus to stop this.
2) I can't find the "Unit Test Map" on NA, there's a "fixed" version and a lot of different versions, which should I use? Thanks

Thanks for your message fede. I searched for Unit Test Map on NA server and it appear that this map doesn't exist on NA ladder, i'll update the system to check an other map ! Thanks for your support.
For the program, you can exit it with the red cross or kill the task but i'll choose a different key on the next update.

I updated the checking map for that good old Steppes of War. I hope that many of US users will come and sign in :D

If it is against EULA, what is the point in using this program? From the perspective of Warden, you are hacking yourself by using this program if it does 'minimal' reads.

Like MMR Stats Memory Reader... that's why a disclaimer is in place.
Am i forced to use this program ?
1. Absolutely not! This program is designed to help you identify a hacker directly, but you can retrieve the id of the opponent after your game (using Sc2 Gears) and look manually in the database.

You need to update the first post bro, the link is real hard to find !

No, man, thank YOU, this is awesome. Can't believe more people isn't using this, it already spotted two lllllllllll h4x0rs for me =).
I still can't register my account tho  I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong, here's a screenshot: http://oi42.tinypic.com/5kf6ly.jpg
Also, yeah I have to use the task manager to kill the program, the red cross won't work when the program is listening.

The captcha don't load, that's a common issue with MintEye. Try it by disabling your adblock and try again but i'll try to find an another captcha due to these bugs

The Sc2HDB Online Checker has been updated to support the newest version of Starcraft 2 (2.0.8). You still can find the old version for the current version (2.0.7)

That sucks, this had potential. Let's hope someone does something similar.

I'm contemplating to write a similar program, but I'm wondering why this one stopped. Does anyone know?
I wouldn't want to start a new project, if the previous one were shutdown because blizzard didn't permit it.
Please let me know.
Edit: finished the hacker notification tool
