The VAC system has a lot a loopholes in it. Players such as 'Helios' and the AA crew have been using the same basic (C++) framework for years and still certain loopholes haven't been filled. Then again, the ones that do get filled get bypassed in a matter of hours. Aside from that, you've got your mat hacks which with the current system, will never be sniffed by the VAC. One thing to note though- if you see a jump of hackers in your server, then there was probably a released client that made it public. A few months back we saw blatant aimbots / nospread (perfect compenstation), and 100% crit rate chance jump from one day or so, to 2 or 3 an hour. After some reasearch, it was the same day that [wont say the name of the hack- Initials are d.s.], was released. Someone on the gameFaqs forums posted a link, and we were swamped.
This hasn't been updated in a bit and some of the information could really use an update, but it is a "hack info" post I made to help inform our members of what to look for. Not every single hack is one of those "Snap to every single person reguardless of location or visibility" type. There are plenty of ways to disguise a hack- and many ways to turn certain portions of them off at a moments notice. http://www.clanao.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=564 On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 9:52 AM, MjrNuT <[email protected]> wrote: > Tony, > > Sorry for the late response.
