Better Changelevel Exploit (CS:S Server Console Trick)

A one-post script dump claiming to one-up 'mist's' classic changelevel exploit — bypassing rcon_lock and ironwall.

A short, single-post thread in the CS:S Scripts/Tools subforum where user darksoul32 shared a server-console exploit chain, claiming it improved on an older, apparently well-known exploit by a member/coder called 'mist'. The post is mostly a repeated console command block with little discussion attached — typical of the era's cheat/exploit-sharing culture where scripts got copy-pasted and reposted across forums. No replies or follow-up drama are present on this page, just a quiet little relic of the scene's server-exploitation subculture.

This will work better than the normal changelevel exploit by mist..— darksoul32

It bypasses rcon_lock and ironwall, also gets passed alias..— darksoul32

Lethal's CS Training Guide (Vol. 1)

A pro CAL-Invite player's old CS training guide gets posted... and immediately buried under offer-wall complaints.

This thread in the Guides section shared 'Lethal's' Volume 1 CS Guide, a competitive Counter-Strike training resource originally written in 2005 by a player with CAL-Invite/CPL and Complexity (COTA) background, covering movement, aim, strategy, and team advice. The poster mortertas shared it as a download, but replies quickly devolved into typical download-link gripes, with users complaining the offer/survey links didn't work and asking for a reupload. A pretty mundane guide-sharing thread that captures the era's reliance on offer-wall downloads and short, low-effort forum replies.

this shit rly works for me but ill give it a try and scan it guys lACK OF WORKING TRYED THIS LIKE 10TIMES— viper107

reupload to new site please since i do one quiz and it says 1% is completed so how many quizes are there to do....— destruction

De_Aztec Wall Glitch Tutorial

An old-school CS:S map glitch tutorial that mostly turned into a wall of 'unhide' replies

xXHeistXx posted a guide in the CS:S Guides subforum explaining a movement glitch on de_aztec that let players reach an invisible ledge along a wall by the terrorist-side water ramp, with screenshots included in a hidden quote box. The replies are the classic hidden-content ritual of that era: mostly one-word posts like 'unhide,' 'ty,' 'kool,' and 'cool' from members trying to unlock the hidden images, plus a couple of side comments about it not really working for them. It's a small, low-drama slice of the CS:S guide culture that was common on fkn0wned at the time.

you can get to a spot where nobody would expect you to be. You probably won't win any games camping up there, but it can be fun to surprise the other team.— xXHeistXx

How to make money from YouTube

A YouTube money-making guide hidden behind a reply-to-unlock wall — and everybody just said thanks

A tutorial thread posted by crew member Phenex in the Monetizing subforum, offering some method for earning money via YouTube. The actual content was locked behind Fkn0wned's classic 'hidden content, reply to see it' system, so the visible thread is almost entirely a long string of members dropping quick thank-you posts to unlock it. It's a small, unremarkable but very typical slice of the forum's 'Leechers Galore' culture, where guides were currency and gratitude posts were the toll.

YouTube FTW!— SilentKill30

nice, man thanks a lot :)— jETZKYE

Get Good FPS (2009) CS:S Config Guide

The classic 2009 FPS config dump that half the CS:S board just replied 'unhide' to

A June 2009 guide posted by long-time member ZoaQ in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides subforum, laying out Steam launch options and a hidden autoexec-style config full of console commands to strip visual fidelity for max framerate. The [hide] tag meant most replies are just members typing 'unhide,' 'ty,' or 'thanks' to unlock the content rather than real discussion. It's a snapshot of the era's tweak-config culture, with the post also plugging FkN0wned as 'not only a cheat site' and a sidebar ad for a private CSS hack seller.

FkN0wned.com - Not only a cheat site;-)— ZoaQ

Lets see if something new :)— Nightcor3

[TUT] Binding — CS:S Console Bind Basics

The old 'bind p say damage' tutorial that every CS:S newb bookmarked back in the day.

A basic beginner's guide posted in the Counter-Strike: Source Guides section, explaining how to use the console to bind keys to chat commands like 'say' and 'say_team'. It's a low-key, purely instructional post from late 2009 that stuck around as a reference for newer members years later. The replies are just a couple of quick thank-yous, with one member noting it's 'old but still good for newbs.'

Thanks bro <3 Old but still good for newbs :D— donkor

thx— polski2918

BulletTime Script written by SNK

A CS:S forum mod shares a Max Payne-style bullet-time console script, dated New Year's Eve 2009

SNK, a Legendary-ranked forum moderator, posted a Counter-Strike: Source console script that let players toggle a slow-motion 'bullet time' effect bound to their mouse buttons, requiring sv_cheats enabled. It's a small, single-post utility thread in the Scripts subforum under Counter-Strike: Source, typical of the site's script-sharing culture, capped off with the site's own sign-off flourish. No replies followed, just SNK's original post sitting as a time capsule of the era's script-tinkering scene.

Free Steam Trading Cards exploit thread

A 2013 Steam trading-card 'exploit' that had half the forum just posting 'ty'

This was a long-running thread in the Miscellaneous & General tutorials section claiming to reveal an exclusive method to get every Steam trading card for free, right when Steam's trading card system was brand new and hyped. By the time of this archived page (post #59-60, page 2 of 27), the actual content had scrolled far behind — the visible posts are just members dropping quick 'thanks' and 'ty' replies, a classic sign of a popular giveaway/exploit thread. It shows the era's appetite for free Steam loot exploits and how such threads devolved into pages of gratitude spam.

Thanks— John_Freeman646

How to Install Custom CS 1.6 Skins

A four-step guide to dropping fresh weapon skins into CS 1.6, straight from the Fkn0wned general board.

A quick tutorial thread from the Counter-Strike 1.6 General section explaining the basics of installing custom weapon skins by placing model files into the game's directory. Posted by longtime forum member DCLXVI, a self-described 'Forum Addict' with thousands of posts despite being tagged as banned in this archive snapshot. Typical of the era's cheat/mod scene forums, where simple customization guides sat alongside the site's cheat database and other tech content.

How to use custom CS 1.6 Skins— DCLXVI

[PHP] RSS Feed Channel Snippet — conTagious

A veteran coder drops a working PHP RSS generator, straight from his own webhosting site's backend.

In the Programming subforum, longtime member conTagious (aka Synbitz) posted a PHP code snippet that pulled records from a MySQL database and formatted them into an RSS 2.0 feed, using his own site Webhost-Choice.com as the live example. It's a typical 'share a useful script' post from the era, offered to other members as something they could adapt for their own news pages or projects. Low-drama, purely technical post typical of the Tech & Security > Programming board.

Modify a couple of things and you get what ya need, your own little rss channel for any of your news pages/whatever lol— conTagious

[PHP] Auto String Generator by ap3x

A staff coder shares a quick PHP random-string generator, then guilt-trips the room for a 'thanks'

In the Programming subforum, longtime staffer ap3x posted a small PHP script that generates random alphanumeric strings of variable length, complete with a live preview link and copy-paste install instructions. It's a typical early-forum code-share post aimed at hobbyist coders tinkering with their own sites. The closing line grumbling about the effort taken and asking for a 'simple thanks' is a classic touch of that era's forum culture.

It took me a few hours to gather all this information and post it here, a simple thanks is too easy.— ap3x

Basic Facebook Phisher (by NIX)

NIX drops a Facebook phishing tool with a YouTube demo — one post, locked, historic artifact of the era

A short, single-post thread in the Rebel Gaming section where longtime member NIX shared a self-made phishing tool aimed at Facebook accounts, complete with a YouTube demo clip and a Mediafire download link. The topic sat locked with no discussion, typical of the era's fast-fire tool-sharing culture on Fkn0wned. It's a small but telling snapshot of the site's darker 'cheat scene' underbelly circa January 2010.

This is a part of the youtube video made by me— NIX

How to dodge having to subscribe to forums to get rid of annoying crap.

A tiny NoScript tip thread for dodging Fkn0wned's own 'subscribe to unhide this' walls.

A low-post-count 'Random Tuts' thread where a member with the handle S3NSA shares a quick browser add-on tip aimed at getting around forums (including Fkn0wned itself) that gated hidden content behind subscription or donation prompts. It's a small, utilitarian post typical of the board's tutorial subforum rather than a big discussion, with the classic hide-tag content wrapper visible in the source. Reflects the era's forum culture of hide/reply-to-unlock content and community workarounds for it.

quite useful— S3NSA

How to cheat your stats.

A TF2 beta-era trick for padding kill stats with bots — nostalgia for when 'sv_cheats 1' was basically a rite of passage.

A Supervisor-ranked member named NoNamE! posted a Team Fortress 2 beta-era method for spawning bots via console commands and farming kills against them to inflate personal stats. The post reads as an old-school console-command tip common to the era's tinkering forums, framed casually as a fun exploit rather than a serious cheat. It's a small, single-post thread typical of the 'Other Games' section where members swapped console tricks and beta-era jank.

and thats how you can cheat on your stats to make it say you had like 600 kills in 1 round!— NoNamE!

Cs_Assault Building Glitch Guide

How to sneak onto a rooftop CT's never expect you on cs_assault.

A short guide posted by longtime member xXHeistXx explaining a map exploit on the classic Counter-Strike: Source map cs_assault, letting a player climb onto a building near CT spawn via a ledge and fence glitch. Posted in the Guides section under CS:S, it's a small piece of the era's map-glitch/tutorial culture, complete with screenshots hosted offsite. Typical of the forum's Guides board — practical, terse, and aimed at giving players a positional edge rather than any cheat software.

Once you are on the building, there's not much you can do except surprise the enemy if they happen to come in your range.— xXHeistXx

TF2 Spray Tutorial

Before you make your spray, remember: nobody wants to see 'YOU GOT PWNZORD' painted on a wall.

A Supervisor-ranked member named NoNamE! posted a step-by-step guide for creating custom in-game sprays for Team Fortress 2 using Photoshop with a .vtf plugin, plus the accompanying .vmt material files needed to get them working. The tone is practical and instructional, with a bit of personality thrown in via the advice to keep sprays fitting the TF2 art style rather than generic meme edits. Typical of the era's 'Other Games' subforum, where members shared game customization tricks outside the site's core cheat/CS focus.

Before you start please think of a spray that FITS IN THE TF2 LOOK. Do not just take a pic of you face with the text YOU GOT PWNZORD.— NoNamE!

Scout to Knive Script by SNK

The classic scout-to-knife weapon-switch bind, straight from a CSS scripting forum in 2009.

A short post in the Counter-Strike: Source Scripts/Tools subforum where forum staffer SNK shares a config script for quick-switching between the Scout sniper rifle and knife, a popular competitive CSS trick from the era. The post includes simple readme-style instructions and a config file snippet, framed with the forum's usual branding. It's a small but characteristic artifact of the site's gaming-utility culture, posted on New Year's Eve 2009.

And now when u shoot it will change from scout to hands to scout again really fast— SNK

How to add 1-999 Fake Subscribers onto your Youtube Channel

The old fake-subscriber hustle thread that ran six pages deep before it quietly petered out.

A long-running Tool Setups thread on Fkn0wned Forum focused on a method/tool for inflating YouTube subscriber counts, reaching a sixth page of replies before the archive cuts off. Typical of the forum's cheat-scene culture, it lived in the Computer Security and Hacking category alongside other gray-area 'growth hack' and account-boosting discussions. This final page shows mostly navigation and forum furniture, with little substantive discussion preserved beyond the thread's continued activity.

USB Password-Stealer Tutorial Thread

The old 'plug this into your friend's PC' password-grabbing trick, straight from the Tool Setups board.

A Tool Setups thread on the Fkn0wned forum offering a walkthrough for pulling saved browser/system passwords off a target machine using a USB drive loaded with recovery tools. Typical of the site's Security & Hacking-adjacent culture at the time, where such 'life hack' style tutorials circulated framed as pranks or curiosity projects rather than serious intrusion. The page itself is mostly stripped down to forum navigation and category listings, giving little beyond the title and board context.

Unverifying Steam Accounts tutorial thread

Six pages of members chasing a trick to strip verification off Steam accounts.

This was page 3 of a long-running tutorial thread in the 'Tool Setups' section under Computer Security and Hacking, focused on a method for unverifying Steam accounts. As with most tutorial threads on fkn0wned, it likely drew a mix of thanks, requests for help, and follow-up questions from members trying to get the method working. The page itself is mostly forum navigation chrome, so the actual discussion content wasn't captured here.

Download From A Paypal Site Without Paying A Penny

The old 'free downloads from PayPal-gated sites' trick thread — pure fkn0wned Security & Hacking energy

A thread from the Security & Hacking section of the fkn0wned forum, promising a method to access paid/PayPal-gated download content without payment. Typical of the site's cheat-scene culture, which mixed game cheats, leeching tricks, and security/hacking discussion. The archived page mostly preserves forum navigation and category structure rather than substantive post content.

How to Steal MyBB Passwords

A Security & Hacking thread that promised to teach forum members how to swipe MyBB logins.

This page comes from Fkn0wned's Security & Hacking subforum, where a thread title advertised a method for stealing MyBB (forum software) passwords — the kind of topic typical of the site's 'cheat scene' culture where members traded exploits, cracking tricks, and site-vulnerability talk. The actual page content that survived is mostly site navigation and board structure rather than the original post itself, so the specifics of the method are lost to the archive. It's a snapshot of the forum's broader ecosystem: a database of game cheats, VIP subscriptions, and a Security & Hacking section sitting right alongside general chat and 'Porn Paradise.'

Hacking WPA Networks - Tool Setups

A classic Security & Hacking tutorial thread — the page's actual content is long gone, but the topic says it all.

This page was a tutorial thread posted in the Security & Hacking section of Fkn0wned, apparently walking through tool setups related to WPA wireless network attacks — a very typical topic for that era's 'cheat scene' forums, which often doubled as hangouts for networking and security tinkering. Only the site's navigation and board structure survived in this archive capture; the actual tutorial text, replies, and any discussion did not come through. The forum itself was organized around game cheats (CS 1.6, CoD, Battlefield) alongside general sections like Gaming Market, Art and Design, and the cheekily named 'Porn Paradise' and 'Leechers Galore'.

Wireless Lag Switch Tutorial

Old-school console cheating 101: the wireless lag switch write-up that lived in the Tutorials section

A tutorial thread posted in the Console Gaming Tutorials board explaining how to build a wireless lag switch, a homemade device once popular among console shooter players to manipulate their connection and gain an in-game advantage. It sat alongside Fkn0wned's broader cheat/hack database covering Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and other titles, reflecting the forum's identity as a hub for competitive-gaming exploits during the early-2010s console modding era. No dramatic discussion content survived in this capture beyond the site's standard navigation and board structure.

How to Burn Xbox 360 Games with ImgBurn

Back when burning your own Xbox 360 discs was still a rite of passage.

A tutorial thread in the Console Gaming Tutorials section walking members through using ImgBurn to burn Xbox 360 game images (.DVD/.ISO) to disc. Typical of the site's modding/piracy-adjacent tutorial culture from the early 2010s console scene, sitting alongside cheat databases for PC shooters and other how-to guides. The surrounding forum structure shows a classic small cheat-and-hack community setup with sections for game databases, general chat, and market/security boards.

How To Crack Any Hash - Tool Setups

The old 'crack any hash' tutorial thread from the Security & Hacking corner of a long-dead cheat forum.

A tutorial-style thread posted in the Tool Setups subforum under Computer Security and Hacking, aimed at teaching members how to crack password hashes using some combination of tools. Typical of the site's 'Security & Hacking' category, which sat alongside cheat databases for games like CS 1.6, CS:S, and CoD. The archived page only preserves the shell (breadcrumb, board index, database links) with the actual instructional content and replies not captured in this snapshot.

Lucid Steam Keys

Free Steam keys, five pages deep — classic early-2010s forum bait.

A tutorial thread in the Gaming Tutorials section offering or discussing a method called 'Lucid' for obtaining Steam keys, running to at least five pages of replies. The surrounding archive shows a fairly built-out gaming/cheat forum with dedicated boards for Counter-Strike variants, Call of Duty titles, and planned sections for Battlefield 3, Minecraft, and Runescape. The page itself is mostly navigation chrome, so the actual tutorial content and discussion are not preserved here.

zubetube's Work-in-Progress Batch Script for Trashing Computers

A member shared a half-finished batch file explicitly built to mess up whoever ran it — and asked the forum to help him perfect it.

In the Programming subforum, user zubetube posted a rough, unfinished Windows batch script explicitly labeled as something to 'kill computers with,' featuring forced reboots, task-killing, persistence via scheduled tasks, and spammy branding for fkn0wned.com. He admitted it was incomplete and asked other members for help getting around Ctrl+C interrupting it. The lone reply, from Exover, was a simple 'nice one' — otherwise the thread got little traction, a small artifact of the site's casual malware-tinkering culture.

SHIT TO KILL COMPUTERS WITH!!— zubetube

this is no where near done but here is a copy and paste to beta test for me— zubetube

nice one— Exover

Another Batch File Prank Script

A little .bat script thread from 2007 that turned into a low-key 'is this the same as before?' shrug-fest

In the Programming subforum, member IxPKxALL posted another batch-file 'virus' script, a common genre of goofy DOS-based prank/troll tools shared on the forum at the time. A handful of regulars replied with quick reactions, a bit of troubleshooting banter about a reboot command, and requests to unhide content, while others questioned whether it was just a rehash of an earlier post. The thread is short and low-drama, typical of the casual script-sharing culture in this corner of Fkn0wned's Technology board.

is this the same as before?— h3nno

this was pretty ez... tho im working on sumtin— IxPKxALL

Unhide pl0x.— DCLXVI

CPanel 10.8.x Exploit thread

Someone dropped a cPanel exploit in the Programming subforum, and the peanut gallery showed up in force.

A user called Afteryou posted about a cPanel 10.8.x exploit in the Technology > Programming section, drawing a handful of quick curious replies from other members over the following day. The thread is short and mostly reaction posts rather than deep discussion, typical of the era's casual 'look what I found' security/exploit-sharing culture on cheat and hacking-adjacent forums. No real technical breakdown survives in the visible content, just the usual back-and-forth of interest and skepticism.

Hmm lemme see that please— blackxthink

o rly? lets have a look— xploit

zomg h4x!?— Monoxide41

Ultra Hackers AIO Pack: 153 Tools in One RapidShare Dump

A 2008 grab-bag rapidshare dump of 153 late-2000s 'hacking tools' — nostalgia bait for anyone who remembers the wild-west Programming subforum.

A March 2008 post by user ThisIsSparta shared a RapidShare-hosted archive bundling over 150 assorted late-2000s utilities — password crackers, scanners, spam/flood tools, keygens, and other 'script kiddie' era software typical of mid-2000s cheat/hack forums. The thread drew a steady trickle of low-effort 'thanks' replies over the following weeks, a request to re-upload a dead/premium-only link, and one skeptical member noting the tools were likely outdated and non-functional by May 2008. It's a fairly typical snapshot of the forum's Technology > Programming section: casual tool-sharing culture, minimal moderation, and short-lived hype around aging AIO packs.

very n1 tools, but old. i guess, many of them doesn't work now.— JnZn558

I'm starting to think I [The Laughing Man] should start an online hacking organization.— DarkAvenger94

Just for premium members... not so good uploading site you have found =/— dirwir

SMS Bomber International V3.0 release thread

A Fkn0wned regular drops v3.0 of his SMS-spam tool, promises a 4.0 is coming

In this Programming subforum thread from September 2009, longtime member Catmaster released version 3.0 of his self-made 'SMS Bomber International' tool, a program he'd been iterating on across other forums (namedropping Hackforums.net as home to older versions). The thread is a typical low-effort release post: a screenshot, a virus scan reference, and a download link, followed by a string of short 'thanks'/'cool' replies from various members. Catmaster teases an upcoming 4.0 version near the end, and one member asks to be sent the link directly rather than posting publicly.

This is my very latest version of my series of SMS Bomber Internationals! (if you are wondering where the other versions below 3.0 are, they are on Hackforums.net lol)— Catmaster

thanks for feedback guys, but make sure to look for my 4.0 version !— Catmaster

send me to pm link please— kib0rg

CS 1.6 CountJump/Longjump Scripting Thread

A noob named enomine drops a custom bunnyhop/strafe script — then immediately admits his English (and his numbers) are a bit off.

New member enomine posted a set of custom CS 1.6 console scripts for automated jump-strafing (countjump/longjump binds), adapted and edited from a script originally by 'Chasy Woo', including a sideways variant. The thread is short and friendly: a couple of VIP/Crew members thank him for the script, one (NIX) questions whether such scripts even work since many servers disable them, which enomine answers apologetically in broken English. He also asks a moderator to move the misplaced thread into the scripting subforum. Low drama, just a small technical share typical of the Tech & Security / Programming section.

OMFG my englis is bad :)— enomine

Aren't scripts disabled on most servers ?— NIX

sorry bad section can someone move it to scripting please— enomine

SMS Bomber International V4.1 release thread

Someone dropped a new SMS bomber build in 2009 and the whole reply was basically 'thx' and 'does this work in Norway?'

A member called Catmaster posted a new version (V4.1) of a tool originally made by InuyashaITB, described as a 'series of bombers' with GUI fixes and tweaked features, complete with a screenshot, a virus-scan link, and a Rapidshare download. The thread got only a handful of replies — quick thanks from a couple of VIP/banned members and a curious question about whether it worked internationally. It's a tiny, quiet snapshot of the Programming subforum's tool-sharing culture rather than any major event.

It has been a while since i released a version of my series of bombers, but this version has a lot of GUI fixes and some features that are fixed / new.— Catmaster

Does this sms bomber work in europe? like Norway.— sinder

Thankyou.— Bulle7

Some More Batch Viruses

A kid posts janky .bat 'viruses' and immediately gets told to stop spamming the board with them

In the Programming subforum, member IxPKxALL (~1337H4x0R~) shared some crude Windows batch-file scripts he called 'viruses,' one meant to mess with system files and another as a goofy 'ultimate spamzer' that just spawned a pile of command prompt windows. He openly admitted he didn't know how to do anything more advanced, like spamming porn sites, and asked for help. Other members jumped in: cedars offered a trivial tip about opening a website from a batch file, and [LiP]STicK. called him out for cluttering the forum with multiple separate threads instead of consolidating his scripts into one post. A few late replies just say 'unhide,' typical of hidden-code tags on old forums.

i still wanna learn how to Spam porn sites if sum1 know leave a msg— IxPKxALL

Dude, and stop posting multiple threads of your viruses, gather them, and post them in one thread altogether.— [LiP]STicK.

From what i can remember you just type; start http://www.website.com— cedars

Adobe CS3 Keygen Pack Release

DeMeNt3d drops the full Adobe CS3 keygen pack — and the thread just becomes twenty people saying thanks

A classic Fkn0wned Programming-board post from July 2008: veteran member DeMeNt3d shares a hidden-content download bundling keygens/activation tools for the entire Adobe CS3 suite (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Premiere, After Effects, and more). The replies are the usual warez-thread ritual — members unhiding the content, saying thanks, and a couple griping that the link is dead months later. Runs from mid-2008 into 2009, a low-drama but very typical snapshot of the site's software-piracy culture.

No Problem, Just Helping out the community. :)— DeMeNt3d

this content is dead— irishash

how can i download the keygen's new member sorry xD!— Bardhu

Visual Basic Chat Spammer w/ Source (metroshake)

A noob coder shares his VB chat spammer source — then immediately botches censoring his own name in the screenshot.

In the Programming subforum, member metroshake posted a simple Visual Basic 'chat spammer' tool with source code and a screenshot for others to inspect and learn from, calling it 'super easy to do.' The thread is a small, low-drama slice of the site's amateur coding scene, with a handful of members thanking him, one VIP (XpliciteR) needling him for failing to blur his name in the screenshot, and others asking if it actually worked or planning to build on it. Typical of the era's Tech & Security board: casual code-sharing, quick replies, no real controversy.

Lol I fail'd @ censoring name.— metroshake

Ahah, fail bluring. Thank you.— XpliciteR

cool as ill work off this for my own program— Nickiller007

[VB] Source Code for Email/SMS Bomber

A Visual Basic email/SMS bomber gets shared, and half the replies are just 'ty'

In the Programming subforum, member Lipscomb posted a Visual Basic source code snippet (not his own work) for an email/SMS bomber that required a Gmail account to function, offering to help via PM if anyone hit issues. The thread mostly attracted low-effort 'thanks' replies from newer members and a couple of one-post accounts, though VIP member Baz asked a genuine follow-up question about whether it could target multiple numbers, to which Lipscomb replied he'd look for PHP code supporting that. It's a small, typical slice of the era's cheat/tool-sharing culture — low discussion, high 'gimme the code' energy.

Not by me, but if anyone wanted to make one you could use this code. Only works if you have a GMAIL account.— Lipscomb

Can't wait to play about with this and compile it. Does it just send to one address or could you send to lots?— [VIP] Baz

am w8ing to using this code hope it works— -__121__-

[VB.NET] Tutorials by lam3r

A member drops a VB.NET tutorial link, and half the Programming board spends six months just typing 'unhide'

In this Programming board thread, member lam3r shares a link to an external site offering VB.NET (and other language) programming tutorials aimed at beginners, hidden behind the forum's [hide] tags to encourage replies. The thread devolves into the classic forum ritual of members posting 'unhide' or 'ty' just to reveal the hidden link, with a smattering of genuine interest from a few coders comparing languages. lam3r bumped it himself in early 2009, keeping the low-effort reply chain going for months.

wth i kno java and c++, might as well learn vb— MillerLite

just started this shit thanks probally grave digging again :(— jbfkenpwns

Unhide, I don't if ill even want to read a lot of it but Ill see whats on there.— Necrobutcher

VB.NET Tabbed Web Browser Code Dump ('Tut')

A guy posts a 'tutorial' that's just paste-this-code, and the forum immediately calls it out

In the Programming subforum, member esw1978 shared a VB.NET code dump for building a basic tabbed web browser (Winforms controls, back/forward/refresh/stop/home buttons, address bar, tabs). It was billed as a 'tut' but was really just a copy-paste snippet with no real explanation, and other members quickly pointed that out — though most agreed the code itself was decent freebie material. A mild, good-natured back-and-forth about what counts as a real tutorial followed, with [FkN] Crew member lam3r weighing in near the end.

This isn't a Tutorial? It just says, copy and paste this and viola! Web browser. A tutorial explains each function and what it does, also explaining how to build the code from scratch.— mcm

Yeah this isn't a tutorial at all, although nice free code I guess...— lam3r

Uhh nice tut.— Unbeliveable

Sourcecodes for CSS Hacks — Rock Superstar's Compiling Struggles

Guy just wants to learn to code cheats, gets told to stop being lazy instead

Rock Superstar, a longtime member of the '500 Club' rank, asks around for old (even detected) CSS hack source code so he can teach himself C++ using Visual Studio 2008. SuperNovaAO points him toward some known public sources but quickly loses patience when Rock Superstar admits he can't get anything to compile, accusing him of expecting handouts. A short, slightly prickly back-and-forth follows about updating old code versus just downloading a working version, ending with a dry tip that an older, free version of Visual Studio might solve the compiling issue. A pretty ordinary, small-scale exchange typical of the forum's Programming subsection under Tech & Security.

It doesnt matter when they're old and detected! I want to learn coding myself— Rock Superstar

yes, people that ask everything to be done for them piss me off!— SuperNovaAO

They piss me off too :))— Rock Superstar

[BAT] Kill all running programs

A dead-simple batch script to nuke every open app on your desktop — posted back when Windows 7 still tripped it up.

In the Programming subforum of Tech & Security, member xXHeistXx shared a short .bat script that used TASKLIST/taskkill to force-close all running user programs (explicitly not services, and not Windows 7 compatible). The thread is a small, low-drama utility-sharing post typical of the era — a handful of members thanked him, one couldn't see the hidden code because the forum's 'hide' tag was glitching, and smod PopTart stepped in to repost the script in plain view for those affected. It closes with a member questioning whether it kills just the app or literally everything.

Simply kills all running programs. It isn't compatible with Windows 7. Does not kill SERVICES!— xXHeistXx

lol i know I cant see it cause hide hack is broke -.-— retsnomlc

Well since you guys need it— PopTart

Snagit Keygen Thread

A keygen drop for a screen-capture tool somehow ran for over a year on nothing but 'unhide' replies

DeMeNt3d posted a hidden-content keygen for Snagit (a screenshot utility) back in July 2008, and the thread limped on for over a year as members bumped it just to beg for the hidden link to be unlocked. Nobody seemed to know what Snagit even was at first, one member got called out by mod-ish regular irishash for posting unauthorized content without hosting it properly, and most 'replies' amount to one-word 'ty' or 'unhide' posts — a pretty typical snapshot of low-effort warez board culture on Fkn0wned's Programming subforum.

wtf is a snagit— Junnyerr

AGAIN WITH POSTING UNAUTHORISED CONTENT HOST ON RS or Megashare or similar— irishash

[PHP] Auto-copyright Maintainer

A staff coder shares a tiny PHP snippet so nobody forgets to update the copyright year — bug and all.

In the Programming subforum, longtime staffer ap3x posted a short PHP script that auto-updates a site's copyright year notice, explaining it as a beginner-friendly example (deliberately over-using echo for clarity). A few members gave quick thanks and approval, and banned member Sasuke2525 pointed out a missing closing tag, which ap3x acknowledged and fixed. A low-key, everyday code-sharing thread typical of the Tech & Security section.

I know I over-abuse the echo tag, but it's for PHP beginners to show them how to do this shit. :D— ap3x

I think you are missing a closing tag.— Sasuke2525

Correct you are. ;) Thanks. ~updated— ap3x

Check My Web Browser Made by Me! (ghostface's VB browser project)

A member proudly debuted his homemade browser — and the forum immediately asked why it should exist.

A member named ghostface shared a basic web browser he built himself using Visual Basic, comparing it modestly to Mozilla. The reception was skeptical from the start, with other members questioning its purpose given the existing big browsers, and later replies noting the download link was broken and that it may have simply been an IE-engine wrapper. It's a small, humble slice of the forum's amateur Programming subforum, where hobbyist projects got posted and gently roasted.

Its like Mozilla but this is not soo good like that:P— ghostface

Yeah, I'm sure you've worked very hard on it; But why should people use your Web Browser, When there's: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.— Nycrich67

Doesn't the fact that you made it in Visual Basic mean that it just uses the IE engine?— LordV

[JS] 3000+ JavaScript Source Codes

A dusty mediafire link to 800 copy-paste JS scripts, plus 20 replies of pure 'thanks' and 'unhide'

In the Programming subforum of Tech & Security, user mongoklomp shared a hidden mediafire download claiming a huge collection of ready-to-use JavaScript source scripts, organized by category. The thread is a classic low-effort bump-fest: dozens of members just posting 'thanks', 'unhide', or 'ty' to reveal the hidden download link, with barely any actual discussion of the code itself. It's a small time capsule of forum download culture, complete with a random power-level meme and a slightly unhinged joke reply.

HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— brian965

ummm i lvoe the smlly vag... i meean scripts in the morning— silentrock

thank you sir— v0nz

BadGirl v5.1 Skin

A member proudly debuts his first VB2010 'cheat skin' — and the whole thread just asks him what it actually does

SuperStaRRRRR posted a screenshot of a GUI skin he built in Visual Basic 2010 for a game cheat, labeling it 'BadGirl v5.1'. What followed was a slow-motion pile-up of confused members repeatedly asking what the thing actually did, with the author admitting it 'does shits' and currently does nothing functional. Several regulars, including a moderator and a VIP, wrote it off as pointless, with one clarifying it was likely just a skin/UI shell meant to be paired with an actual cheat later. A classic small, meandering Programming-board thread that fizzled out under a wave of shrugs and 'lol close this' comments.

I programmed my first cheat skin with vb 2010 :)— SuperStaRRRRR

this do shits...— SuperStaRRRRR

Idiots its a skin if you coded a cheat and need a skin for it i suppose? lol— [VIP] FR3QU3NCY

AV/Firewall Killer Batch File Drop

A batch file promising to kill your AV and firewall, plus twenty replies of pure 'ty' energy

Pestilence (xXHeistXx) posted a hidden batch script claiming to disable most antivirus and firewall software, gated behind the classic 'reply to see hidden content' setup. The thread devolved into the typical low-effort reply farming seen across the Programming board — a parade of one-word thank-yous, 'first' jokes, and a couple of newer members asking off-topic questions about hacking/cracking careers. No real drama, just a routine tool-drop thread padded out by reply-for-content culture.

fIRST AND YOINk— Sleeping Forest

did any one can help me i want to make a bypass for ran online... or i want to be a hacker cracker and i want to large my mind with the new technology— jimsplok

Thnx, could be handy for noobs that cant code :harhar:— cautionsniper

Need GStrafe Script for CS 1.6 Bunnyhop

A CS 1.6 bunnyhop noob asks for a gstrafe script, ends up posting his own broken attempt — thread limps on for over a year

A member named hullumuna, apologizing for his 'sad english', asks the Programming subforum for a gstrafe/duck-jump script to use on HnS (Half-Life 'Blockmaker' jump maps) servers. When no one bites, he posts his own homemade config script and asks for improvements. A couple of other members chime in with their own alias-based duck scripts over the following months, with mixed success — one poster a year later reports it just throws errors for him. The whole thread spans April 2008 to August 2009, a classic slow-burn low-traffic scripting help thread typical of the era's CS 1.6 movement/bhop scene.

Hope you understand my sad english! B)— hullumuna

makes u duck very fast so the friction dissepears.. thinks its the same the other guy posted tho ^^ hehe— CryCryNewbiE

doesnt work for me. "Unknown command: -juded..."— kms

AutoClicker! (dark_skillz's First Program)

A member's proud 'first program' post slowly rots into a dead-link graveyard, complete with mod lockdown.

In January 2009, longtime member dark_skillz shared a simple homemade AutoClicker tool in the Programming subforum, proudly calling it his first program. A few members asked for feature tweaks like hotkey support, but by mid-to-late 2009 the download link had died, prompting a string of 'unhide'/'link dead' replies. Admin ZoaQ eventually stepped in, confirmed the dead link, and locked the thread. It's a small, typical slice of the site's programming section — low-key hobby coding shared for community goodwill rather than any big drama.

My First Program !!! looks very simple and is easy to use:) No explanation need, You know what it is :)— dark_skillz

show? how does the beast work lol— Hatred!

Closed Dead Link.— ZoaQ
