The first kind is usually not fixed, but can be disabled in the config. Thus it is easier to catch a random public player who has them enabled than it is to catch a ladder player who has safemode enabled. But from time to time even the supposedly safe features leave traces in the replay which flag the finds | ||

I agree, to me hacker means hacking something which implies skill, but running a bw hack that someone else wrote doesn't take any. It is just convention though to call them that.

He told me about this and I was supposed to give you the WCG USA Spades replays so you can confirm once again that he's a faggot, but I forgot.

One thing though, did these people actually win anything or place well in tournament? It would be best to only check winners, because by announcing who hacks and who doesn't, hackers could start to piece together which hacks are detectable and which aren't, if there are any. I wouldn't mind checking one for others but results should be kept in closed circle.

You'd be pretty pissed off, thinking I'm a liar, have an agenda, or just made a mistake. At least this way you'll know that any wrong will eventually be righted. It's the same reason people want a concrete date that we will be out of Iraq by even though it would be better to just get out as soon and efficiently as possible how ever long that takes. Also this way people can check on their own over replays, I can't easily check all replays that are out there.

It would be pretty easy for them I think. | ||

After your last method I was thinking the probability of catching hackers would now be a lot lower than before, but here you surprise us yet again! I hope it works well. Good job! | ||

You should get some people who are familiar with server-side coding (ASP, PHP, JSP, .NET, etc) to help you write a web-based application to check for the hacks. I'm assuming that your new method can be determined mathematically? By setting up a web page where a user can upload the replay, you can keep the source safe, while allowing everyone in the community to use your findings. If any part of this does not make sense, let me know. | ||

Waiting too much could also be bad because know that they know that there is some catching it. They will prolly try to find holes and eventually find it, and fix it, before we can benefit too much. Anyway great job flag, keep it up | ||
