Video Game Cheaters Outed By Logic Bombs
Lirodon writes: A Reddit user decided to tackle the issue of cheaters within Valve's multiplayer shooter Counter Strike: Global Offensive in their own unique way: by luring them towards fake "multihacks" that promised a motherlode of cheating tools, but in reality, were actually traps designed to cause the users who installed them to eventually receive bans. The first two were designed as time bombs, which activated functions designed to trigger bans after a specific time of day. The third, which was downloaded over 3,500 times, caused instantaneous bans.
If doesn't help prevent cheating in tux racer or bzflag why do I care? This tool was probably written in Rust too, wasn't it? Don't lie
Why hasn't Netcraft confirmed the death yet?
APK quotes people (including myself) without context and should not be trusted. Just thought you should know.
Actually, America's Army was a US military recruitment tool.
Cheating in that game could be considered patriotic, educational trolling of the DoD to teach them that video games are a terribly useless way to find new recruits.
Bravo, good sir! The b-tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of simulated patriots and aimbotting tyrants.
That's right. Cheaters were discarded by the DoD and hired by the NSA instead.
