Two weeks ago, there was an article written at teamliquid.net that talks about many StarCraft players and progamers who were caught map hacking. This is because when you click enemy units during a game, the action gets saved into replays. The map hack that the players used had disabled the enemy-selection action, so when you analyze a replay, it will show that they never clicked on enemy units. This is a flaw because in a game of over 15 minutes, there is a 99% chance of a good player clicking on an enemy unit. So by having multiple replays of a player without ever clicking on an enemies’ unit is good proof that they were map hacking. This technique of finding map hackers was discovered by flag from teamliquid.net. Instructions on how to use flag’s method is in the spoiler below.

To do so, open BWChart v1.03G, go to “Options” and “Other Options.” Change the “Suspicious events” field to “Ignore events after: 2000 minutes instead of minutes (default).” Reload BWChart to refresh. Now BWChart will mark any selection of an opponent’s unit as suspicious. When you reload BWChart, go to “Charts” and uncheck all the boxes in the bottom left box instead of “Suspicious” and you should see suspicious events in red.
Lack of any suspicious actions is what is actually suspicious though. When doing this it is important to remember that just because a player has 0 suspicious actions does not mean they are hacking in this game, although the longer the game the stronger evidence it is.
Things to keep in mind:
1. One single replay, especially under 15 minutes, is not solid proof. The proof percentages increase exponentially with multiple games or games played in a series, preferably over 15 minutes.
2. To combat the “I am just a person who never clicks!” defense, find multiple replays of games where the player has many suspicious actions. This should not be hard to find.
Now that this replay method is released, there will be idiots who throw hack accusations back and forth based on one 5 minute replay with no clicks. Please just ignore them, and recognize that the proofs below were done with hours of work and hundreds of replays.
A few days ago, GnarTheDwarf had released BWOblivionHunter. This program searches through your entire StarCraft replay folder for replays that are over 12 minutes long. After it is done searching, you will see a list of color-coded replays where there are possible hackers. Green means there’s not much chance of a hacker, yellow means there is a possibility of a hacker, and red means there definitely is a hacker. You can read the readme in the spoiler for more information and download the program below.

Select every Folder you want to include in your search in the left part of the programm. With a click on the “Start search” button, the programm starts to gather every replay in those folders, and tries to detect player with no selection. ONLY games > 12 minutes are included into this hunt, you can edit the value in the ini though.
When the Hunter is done (depending on the number of replays, it may take several minutes), you get the results in the right part. Green indicates no hack, even if there are 3 no select reps, its no proof! Yellow Names _may_ be hacker, and red names have a high rep possibility.
By doubleclicking a name with more than 0 no selection reps, a list with filenames will be shown. Doubleclick one of those reps, and it will be loaded into BWChart, if its installed on your computer.
THIS IS A BETAVERSION, there may be bugs, so please check every possible hackrep with bwchart too!

Known bugs: There may be a crash bug with some special replays. I’m still searching for the reason for this. Maybe update soon.
1.01 – Memorybug fixed
