The Administrator to all hackers

Hacking is the use of third party programs to alter a game or gain an unfair advantage. Valve has a strict policy against hacking and will ban detected hackers with the Valve Anti-Cheat system also known as VAC. Most hacks are of the following forms:

  • Engine hooks which piggyback the client and report false information to the server
  • Game information interception which record or report game data that should be hidden from the player
  • Engine exploits which alter the game to the player's advantage
