How to Check if VAC Updates
A member shares a trick for spotting VAC updates before your hack gets flagged — and the thread turns into a live watch for Valve's next move.
In late September 2008, user natin1337 posted a tool/method for checking whether Valve Anti-Cheat had recently updated, aimed at hackers wanting to know when their tools might be at risk of detection. The thread drew the usual mix of thanks, skepticism, and jokes, with regular Nova questioning whether the tool actually worked since it kept showing a stale July 2008 date. The topic got shuffled into Rebel Gaming, and a few days later natin1337 returned to confirm VAC had in fact just updated, closing the loop with a sarcastic warning not to cheat.
VAC sucks bawlz trust me— natin1337
Then how are any of our hacks detected? :V— Nova
VAC updated today everyone dont hack :D— natin1337
2 FREE Steam Games. (BlacKOut's hidden-content giveaway)
A guy with an ATI card, a wall of hidden content, and 26 pages of 'unhide' — classic Fkn0wned.
BlacKOut posted a thread offering '2 FREE Steam Games' via hidden content that only unlocked once ATI card owners replied, a common bait-and-reply gimmick on the forum. The thread ballooned to 26 pages, mostly filled with one-word replies like 'unhide', 'thanks', and 'k?' as members tried to unlock the content, with a bit of ATI-vs-Nvidia banter thrown in. One member noted the offer might already be old news, capturing the low-effort, gimmicky nature of these giveaway threads on Rebel Gaming.
First off, if you don't have an ATI video card then GTFO.— BlacKOut
Isn't this old?— MONST3R
nvidia ftw— azerone
Day Of Defeat: Source - Material Wallhack (by khios)
The old avanj wallhack was busted and flashy — so khios cooked up a slicker material-based fix for DoD:S
In August 2009, member khios posted a workaround wallhack method for Day of Defeat: Source, claiming it improved on the outdated 'avanj's wallhack' by making walls look less flashy and giving cleaner visibility of enemy positions. The thread got moved into Rebel Gaming (the cheat/hack subforum) and khios followed up with screenshot links to prove it worked. From there it turned into a classic low-effort bump thread — nearly two dozen replies over almost a year, mostly just members saying 'unhide,' 'ty,' or 'thanks' to reveal hidden content, with a couple of banned users (like Sasuke2525) chiming in along the way.
Never get detected!— khios
It dont works on server with sv_pure "1" but I always play on the same server and never get banned!— khios

Steam Guestpass Bruteforcer (f0wh, Dec 2008)
f0wh drops a tool promising free Steam games by brute-forcing guest pass codes — 16 pages of members lining up for a shot at loot.
In late December 2008, veteran uploader f0wh posted a tool claiming to randomly generate Steam guest-pass codes in hopes of hitting a valid one, sparking a long-running thread on the Rebel Gaming subforum. The post included a VirusTotal-style scan report to reassure downloaders, and the replies quickly filled with the classic forum ritual of one-word 'unhide' and 'thanks' posts to unlock the hidden download link. Members speculated about ban risk, proxies, and how long to run it, with a bit of community back-and-forth including a user posting a screenshot of the tool running. It's a snapshot of the era's cheat/crack culture around Steam and the low-effort 'unhide for thanks' reply culture typical of these boards.
As most of you know i am not scamming, i have been fair to most here.— f0wh
It looks good and professional to me...heres a pic of it i made :D hope i get a game!!!!— OmfgzATree
can someone give me a proxy or VPN so i wont be detected?— OmfgzATree
NeoTokyo Material Wallhack by wh0r3
A wallhack for an obscure Source mod nobody's admins knew how to catch
A member known as wh0r3 released a material-based wallhack for NeoTokyo, a lesser-known Source engine mod, pitching it as hard to detect since the mod lacked a first-person spectate feature for admins to catch cheaters with. The thread is a typical 'post to unlock' release: a long tail of one-line replies (thanks, unhide requests, 'ty bro') from members trying to access the hidden download. Partway through, the original file link broke, leading to a string of users asking for a reupload that, per this page, never quite materialized.
It's really well made and fun to play, but i got bored of it made these and decided to release them.— wh0r3
Hard for admins to detect as the mod doesn't have first person spectate!— wh0r3
Um, unhide! *Poof* Yeah, broken link...can someone else upload?— heretohack
Free GAMES! (nvidia promo giveaway thread)
RecoileZ shares an nvidia trick for free HL2:DM, Portal: First Slice and Peggle — cue 19 pages of "unhide" spam
A January 2008 thread in the Rebel Gaming sub-board where RecoileZ posted hidden content revealing a method tied to nvidia graphics cards to snag free copies of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, HL2: Lost Coast, Peggle Extreme, and Portal: First Slice. The thread quickly devolved into the classic forum ritual of members posting 'unhide' just to unlock the hidden post, with a side debate over whether the freebie could be claimed more than once (verdict: only with a different nvidia card, not just a new account). Low-effort hype replies ('ty for this', 'awesomeness', 'ggggggggg') dominate the rest of the 19-page thread.
u can get it more than once...just make new accounts...— albert90
Just tested it lol if u want it more than once you need a new nvidia GFX card LOL you just got toldz— RecoileZ
lol I tried on 2 accounts but it scans your Internal Serial number :(— hunterbrute224
ClientRegistryToolkit — reading Steam's clientregistry.blob
A locked, 11-page relic where half the forum just showed up to say 'unhide'
RecoileZ posted a small tool for reading the clientregistry.blob file found in old Steam installs, admittedly unsure whether it exposed account info, framed casually as something knocked together rather than sought out from another user's account. The thread quickly turned into the classic hidden-content ritual: dozens of members posting 'unhide' or a one-word thanks just to unlock the download, with almost no real technical discussion beyond one member asking for details. It's a snapshot of Rebel Gaming's PC Gaming subforum in Feb 2008 — low-effort, high-traffic, and eventually locked after running 11 pages deep.
I was too lazy to ask some noob for one to get his account information but Im not sure it has the account information in it but when u try it tell me if it does.— RecoileZ
can explain more in details what does this thing do?— SnEaKyJoKER
yey ty exactly what i need— Rock Superstar
THE ULTRA STEAM PATCHER
300+ free Steam games, one dubious 'patch,' and a thread full of people asking if it actually works
In April 2008, member silentrun3r posted a tool claiming to unlock over 300 Steam games for free, complete with a disclaimer insisting (unconvincingly) that it was virus-free and a plea for someone else to verify that. Replies were the usual mix of hopeful 'unhide' posts to unlock the hidden content, a few users reporting the games showed as owned but wouldn't install, and the OP cross-promoting his own thread about playing Counter-Strike: Source online without Steam. It's a classic early cheat-scene snapshot: shaky trust, no real proof, and a community more excited by the promise of free games than skeptical of the source.
Would you like over 300+ steam games for free well you have come to the right place.— silentrun3r
i can ashore you 100% this does not contain a virus don't take my word for it scan it yourself— silentrun3r
Nigga Plz— AnthraX
Steal Steam Accounts Tool (by blueyez)
A 2009 'Steam account stealer' upload that got called out as a useless self-own tool within minutes
In March 2009, member blueyez posted a downloadable tool ('steamup.exe') claiming it could grab Steam account credentials, framing it as something to use on internet cafe PCs or a friend's computer rather than remotely. Ment0r quickly pushed back, testing it and reporting that it just forwarded whatever details were typed into it back to blueyez, calling it 'MOST useless tool on the planet' after accidentally sending his own disabled account. The thread was moved into Rebel Gaming by staff, then devolved into dozens of low-effort 'unhide'/'ty'/'hmm' replies from members just farming the hidden download link. Mildly notable as a snapshot of the era's casual account-theft tool culture and forum download-unlock etiquette rather than for any real drama.
MOST useless tool on the planet. It puts your steam details in the text boxes and sends the details to the people. Fail cause I just sent them my disabled account.— Ment0r
i say that ! anti virus find it as mall ware. not real virus AND IS NOT A KEY LOGGER— blueyez
Profile Editor for 360 and Gamerpicture Injector
hitmanre drops an Xbox 360 profile-editing tool — one reply immediately clocks its griefing potential
A short, now-locked thread in the Rebel Gaming section where longtime member hitmanre shared links to a 360 profile editor and a gamerpicture injector, tools used for tweaking Xbox 360 profiles and achievements. The thread got only two replies: one from Unbeliveable joking about using it to get kids banned, and a bemused one-word reply from dakota over a month later. A small, forgettable console-modding post that captures the site's casual, edgy, anything-goes tone.
Now i can insert gay pics to get kids banned from their xbox— Unbeliveable
wtf?— dakota
Funny Ass Troll Video
Just a couple of regulars trading laughs over an old troll video in Rebel Gaming.
A short, low-key thread in the Rebel Gaming section where a member shared a troll video that others chimed in on with quick, casual replies. Members Rwar and USAustin traded a few lighthearted one-liners, calling the clip 'old but gold.' It's a minor, everyday slice of the forum's casual banter rather than any major event, capturing the laid-back hangout vibe of the community.
old but gold— Rwar
holla holla get dollas— USAustin
[HACK/TRAINER] Age of Empires 3 by f0wh
99999 food, wood, and coins — courtesy of f0wh, hotfile edition after the rapidshare ban
A short trainer-release post in the Rebel Gaming subforum for Age of Empires 3, offering unlimited resources and noting it worked on the demo version. Posted by longtime member f0wh, a prolific poster with over 4,000 posts, whose rapidshare account had apparently been banned so the download was mirrored to hotfile instead. Typical of the era's trainer/hack release threads: a one-post drop, a quote block description, and content locked behind a reply-to-unlock wall.
99999 Food, Wood, Coins. Works with DEMO VERSION.— f0wh
My rapidshare got banned so have to use hotfile.— f0wh
SO MUCH CRAZY ON FIFA 13
A FIFA 13 thread from the days when 'Rebel Gaming' still had a pulse.
A short-lived thread in the Rebel Gaming section of the Fkn0wned forum, apparently about wild or notable moments happening in FIFA 13. The archived page preserves mostly site navigation and category listings, with little of the actual post content surviving, but the title alone hints at the casual, hype-driven gaming chatter typical of the board.
