Accounts being banned for speed hacking : World of Warcraft General Discussions

well i would like to try one or more i always heard that there was one that got you up lvls quicker

I don't believe theres any way to speed up experience gain. HOWEVER: Some people make programs to automatically make you run around and kill stuff while you are away. And I agree with psalm on many of his arguments in here. However, I am unable to use my speedhack anymore... Seems that blizzard put in a DLL Injection protect thing in a recent patch. Well, better go find a new one then...

I was searching the web for ways to fix my laggin problem on the wow servers, and came across this interesting conversation that has been posted. I haven't used any hacks but would if it will fix my latency issues. I feel that Blizzard is doing us a disservice by having inefficent servers while we are paying a monthly fee to use their services. Being disconnected from servers due to lag or a problem with the server is unacceptable for a paying customer. Since people are using real life example, think of buying a music cd (if people still do that); if the cd has a scratch or skips when u open it or play it for the first time, u'd return it and get a new one, or get a refund, but what does blizzard do for u except for a simple apology and that they are working on it. And have any of us been compensated for these breakdowns in the system, please let me know if u have.

I don't agree with the language psalm used in his replies, but I don't see any faults with using a speed hack to increase his movement speed. Have anyone looked at the point from the user instead of Blizzard. Why do you think it takes us so long to walk from place to place in WoW? Do u really enjoy the deadtime when walking from place to place? Why can we buy mounts only after a certain level? These are all ways for Blizzard to keep us playing longer and pay more monthly fees. And only knowing that we have played long enuf after getting to a certain level, they give us a mount so we can move faster.

Blizzard is a corporation who made great, addictive games, and they are here to sell a good product and make a profit from us. I admire their tricks to keep us playing longer, but for those that can beat the system, i see it as a win for the little guys against corporate america. Though having the ability to speed hack does give you an unfair advantage to other players, it's not as bad as cheating in experience gaining or speed leveling. I see it as a statement to Blizzard for the need to speed up our movement speed. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but there are definite rooms for improvement. And cheating though however negative it may be, it is useful in pointing out the weakness in the game.

I can not remember the last time I was disconnected from the server due to lag, only my ISP.

I play AC and speed hacks ruined the game play a long time ago.


It's not fair to hide the names of the programs.

A real popular one is called Speederxp.
(google it)


I doubt they can detect it..... they been saying they can on AC for years and trust me they cant.

lol you guys kill me
enjoyed the light reading

i am just saying this most of the time they rely on people telling gms that some one is using and watching them then banning them but they can easily use ilegal ways by searching your computer for programs which can easily be done and not much people have protection for that .. they do it through wow

anyways for the next month or so untill the next patch id say its pretty safe to use in instances by your self also with stealth cheat same thing works wonders my fiend and i were both lvl 40 togather im lvl 50 and he is 60 and has done a tonn of high lvl instances by him self so it is very useful

outch it wasnt so cool after all.

that was an anticlimactic ending. pardon the late entry, but i just stumbled on this sight. and please pardon the fact that my shift and caps lock keys aren't working. speed hacks are for enjoyment only, and power level hacks diminish the point of the game.

uh-oh spaghettios

I figure some of you may want to know a couple facts from someone who has code on all your Windows machines right now.

1) Blizzard, nor any other company, can not protect their processes from 'code injection.' This goes to the person that suggested the game has protection from DLL injection. It's technically impossible to prevent when the user has physical access to the machine.

2) Microsoft doesn't want to come after you for 'optimizing' the behavior of the OS as long as you don't violate the EULA. That is, turning a pre-XP workstation into a server will get legal's attention but running defrag won't of course. Writing your own device driver won't get legal's attention either. Using Windows exploit code, without sending mail to MSRC, will.

3) No, setting the priority of the process with task manager will not make your client run faster then what it's been designed to run. It only starves other threads in your system from running so the threads in your process get more time to run. In fact, the active process gets a boost without you ever doing anything.

Speed hack... please, that's the easiest to accomplish and usually the first PoC made. However even trivial cheats like those are usually run by people we call skiddies. There's no respect given to script kiddies and they make up the vast majority of exploiters.

Oh, forgot to address the hidden process post. Yes, you can hide processes and it's not a new concept. Blizzard doesn't do it. To prove the point set a breakpoint in ZwSetsystemInformation for the PID of your client. Check for the value 38 getting passed as a param. You won't see it. That means they're not taking the first steps to accomplish the task and therefore not even attempting it.

To the person that claimed that Blizzard hires pen-test and that's a reason why software cost is impacted by cheats. I think you're smoking crack. Your claim would have been valid if you had said that it takes time out of new feature development to fix exploitable vulnerabilities in the code.

There are several things that Blizzard can do to detect exploit code (I list two below in case Blizzard is reading):

1) Periodically sending process module list to a logging service (this doesn't violate PII btw - so there's no risk in doing so from an information disclosure standpoint)

2) Periodically depreciate functions but still leave the old ones in the code; old hacks will continue to "detour" them and thus providing Blizzard with a list of bannable accounts. Large Test hit unfortunately; hopefully automation is in place (which, for a game company, is rarer then finding Fadeleaf <g>).

I hate people who hack just to think their cool, but when theyre jacking off 'trying' to be cool, blizzard gets their @$$ kicked through the posts. So whoever hacks, is STUPID

Oooh please sopt it !!!! All the mud sligning is killing me

If you had any comcept of what hacking really was, you guys would know hacking isn't about cheating, as much as it is about pitting your knowdgle and skills aginst others to make something do someting it's not supposed to, or was desigened to do. It has nothing to do with cheating or getting ahead, thats just the perks of being smarter than peeps who get paid for codeing thease games, at least for me it is.
By the way where do you think most coders come from anyway they are the same young guys hacking the some stuff your are complaining about now rofl "noob's"

So if you come to a hack site expect to see hacks, don't wine about it your words falls on deaf ears, go compalin somewhere were they actually care...

Play the game like its supposed to go....geez you cant even play 1 character to 60 without cheating......you must be proud of yourself...and yes a guy was banned on my server just the other day for it.

psalm23......your just an idiot
