Nothing is needed once you download this video and watch it. It may just save CS: Source.

I'm guessing you might have missed the point of the video vferreira, but that's ok :)

HackCAM is made to track and discover hackers in CSS. If you notice the top left corner in that little box, HC will show what might be used such as a lockbot (aimbot) or wall hack or something else like a no recoil script. Notice how it says several times "pre-aim detected" or "pre-fire detected" etc

This video is not a hacker video, it is not showing a wall hack. It's an anti-hack/cheat tool for people to use. You can use it when you are either dead or in spectator mode from what I've read about it. HC has been in beta testing for awhile now, but I can't find any other information on it, nor if it will even be released anytime soon. Here's hoping it will be, and server admins will implement it.

Why not just wait for VAC2?

[HellBender]

I've heard about this... Eh, once its released, the hackers can see the alogrithms used to detect hacks and modify their hacks to not be detected. Plus, there's a huge number of false positives on this.

Because not every server will run VAC2, and VAC2 certainly won't be perfect.

It isn't perfect no, but it is a step in the right direction. If VAC2 EVER gets released to the general server public and this is implemented and updated regulary, it'll be interesting.

[vferreira]

i agree with you LOC :)

i must have explain bad myself, the program itself i too think is a must have in all the servers, why not have vac2 and HC :)

The cheating itself was the thing that ruins the game.

Has a CS player being able to see if someone who kills me is cheater it is great, at least to not call a cheater to someone who is just a better player than myself :)

[Xerus]

Its a nice idea, but it makes me worry about the future of LAN hacking. I'm in college, and on my floor when a bunch of people go into a CS server, whoever is dead will tell the others where people are. Now, imagine if that dead person can use the hack cam and then spectate one of their friends.

It would go a little something like this:

"Aim down, down, to the left. Alright shoot. YOU GOT HIM! AHAHA HA HAHAHAA!!!!!"

Repeat.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this hackcam is, but if its what I think it is then it may be bad news.

[nofear.banzai]

Looks great gentlemen. I do have one criticism however.

The Pre-Aim judgement is flawed in some areas. I normally line myself up for a shot in certain areas and fire before i get there incase my reactions are too slow. This normally ends up me firing at nothing but its just a precaution that i take. It also has that nasty tendency that when you're lining yourself up for a shot of a popular area, such as strafe in and shoot, an enemy runs round the corner and blasts you in the side of the head :p

Just wondering how you guys are going to compensate for that? or is this to do with the point system?

Thankyou.

[Fog Dogg]

Wow, thats pretty sweet... Thanks for the vid.

[spiffy0517]

my thoughts are the same as bonzai's, when i used to be big on cs i used to place my crosshair so that it would line up with head height as soon as i round the corner by following the wall, i'm pretty sure that it would do its little blinky thing and yell hacker at me.

[icecream]

omg, I didn't know such kind of cheat programs existed :s that's soooo wrong, it even doesn't look fun to play.

I hope this anticheat program or VAC2 will help the honest players

[Elliot B.]

What is this showing? A video of a hacker with a 'mod' that shows where the opponents are behind walls?

[IceDogg]

This is awesome, I wish I had this in my SOF2 clan learder days.

[Jase]

Finally the n00b Hackers can get what they deserved.. sheer utter pain.

mwhahaha no more hacking means the hackers are gonna lose all the time since all they did was use hacks not train or anything.. Bout time somthing like this is release good going (Y)

[PukiMan]

April 2005? Is the software already released? Link?

If you read the video, it says some of the people in the video were hacking and some were not hacking. Either way, through the eyes of the player you see, you are watching Hack Cam, a serverside anti-cheat system.

It's a small Q/A I found earlier.

[kalizar]

resurrection!! bwahahaha! i had completely forgot about this. i will check out that link LOC... ive been wondering if and when this was going to be released.

[Tokar]

i dont play CS (CS original or CSS) but I must say thats pretty awesome...old or new...whatever.

I wish UT had that...

The first half of the video i didnt know that the messages in the upper left pertained to the player we were watching the game through. I thought it was referring to the other players the person was playing against.

Then when i saw a thru-wall shot I figured it out and watched from the beginning again...was much clearer.

[Code.Red]

:cry: Video doesnt seem to work! Any other links?

Edit: nvm it decided to work again :p downloading now

Watched it, looks pretty promising.. So, is it out?

[LOC Veteran]

No it isn't out yet, and there has been no mention of a timetable for when it may be released. I'm trying to find out more.

[Spyker]

what is the song's name the band is a perfect cricle i think. the song rocks

[sp0rk]

If you run hacks now, you will ironically see that a lot of other people are hacking on the servers. I haven't used hacks since CS 1.5, but I used to have a lot of fun with them.

[LingeringSoul]

The song is called Passive.

As for the HackCAM, it seems like a very good idea. It wasn't until recently that I encounted some extremely obvious hackers, and they basically ruined the whole game for the rest of us. Programs like VAC and Punkbuster are nice, but they're far from perfect. Let's hope this has a little more success.
