Is there such a thing?

Every time I Own somebody, he screams "Aimbot!" I've been told that the existence of such things is an urban legend, but Quake-engine Land is filled with True Believers who swear there are such things.

I've Googled the topic to death and found many sites claiming that such things exist, but nowhere they can be downloaded.

Now if I wanted to know if MySql really exists or not, I'd Google it and within two minutes be downloading it--because it does exist. If I wanted to know if Gimp or OpenOffice really exists, sure enough I'd Google it and be downloading it within two minutes. This is not possible with aimbots. You can find sites that claim it exists, but like Bigfoot the evidence mysteriously disappears when a skeptic asks to see it.

Now if such a thing did exist, it would most likely be a Trojan horse, and only a real 'tard would use it. But do they exist at all?

I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility, but I have yet to see any credible evidence of it beyond the usual I-got-owned-therefore-everybody-but-me-cheats argument. What do you guys think?

well in team fortress classic, if an enemy stands too close to a wall i can see him through it. I didnt download anything for this, but its kind of like a wall hack. And i know there behind a wall because if i shoot at them nothing happens:)

a wallhack is fairly easy, u just need to replace the texture in the pk3 with a transparent one - voila :)

And where is your proof that they use aimbots Lego?

A guy in clan xct says they use wallhack, but I doubt they all do. There are some of them I have no problem imagening that they use wallhacks, however. And no, not because "I-got-pwned", because of their personality. ;)

I tried again and it worked.

This is what I was looking for! I think. I'm still poring over the source code (I don't have CS). So far it looks like quite a programming feat if it works.

So it points you in the exact right direction? You lose control over your facing? Does this automatically happen when you're firing, or do you have to trigger it? (Again, I'm still poring over the source code to figure out what exactly this thing does).

How does it choose your target? The closest, i.e. if you shoot at a distant target but an enemy is right behind you, do you automatically whirl around?

Any confirmed sightings of similar things for Enemy Territory or Call of Duty? (And again, I-got-pwned is not a confirmed sighting!)

Anybody know much about how Punkbuster works? Since cheat programs run locally I have my doubts about how effective it can be. It might scan all your pk3s to make sure you're not using, um, a "homegrown" model (with a glowing red skin, for example) for the enemy. At the same time, though, couldn't an enterprising sociopath write his own Punkbuster client that reports A-Okay to the server no matter what he has running locally?

Uh, no, Jason. Hackers have egos the size of Jupiter and are incapable of keeping quiet about an impressive engineering feat, which a real working aimbot would surely be. There are web sites that detail every imaginable code trick that can be done with the QE3...yet none for the elusive aimbot.

Was anyone able to open Orion's link? I wasn't.

Don't know about JK2 or JK3, but I've seen too much crap on CS not to belive it. I've never seen a aimbot in action live on CS, but you wouldn't belive the amount of carp ppl come up with on CS if the server is not properly protected. The most simple ones are wall hakcs. Imagine that you you are hidding behind a wall, you want to see if someone is crawling on you on the other side , you press a key and voila. The wall becomes transparent.

The 3d enviroment is build on your computer, these hacks are done by screwing with the dlls and drivers (opengl I think). So if you can interfer with how your graphic card renders the 3d enviroment and the 2d display of your hud you can do it in order to benefit your playing.

If it exists, presently ? I dont think so, I belive they existed before games evolved and got patched. CS is a very good example of it.

And even the Q3 engine games have too much diferences for 1 hack to work on all. Directx keeps evolving, etc. I think it is technically possible and there are ppl with the knowladge to build them but I'll have to agree with the Urban Legend theory though.

But, it is a known fact that the best cheaters will only do it as a last resourt and wont talk about it. That might explain the lack of info on google. The knowladge of such hacks are mostly transmited within clans, etc :)

on Darkforces it was soooo easy to hack. If ya typed in console /imp_thermal_g 1 (i think) It will make the whole server be covered in thermal grenades :S. Its good technology is better now ;)

Did you try searching with file sharing progrmas, yet, Javaguy?

And the main reason people don't post any source code here is because they don't use such a program. Wheter it exists or not.

Well Java Guy I dunno if a Aim bot exists but if someone really insists in cheating then it would proubly exist i dunno

LOL!!! People are still insisting that aimbots are real...and still no evidence.

And again, a wallhack is not an aimbot--cheating, yes, aimbot, no. An aimbot is a program that, well, aims.

Do you believe in Bigfoot too? Have you been abducted by extraterrestrials? I know...you've seen Poloroids of them but can't show them to me.

Do you not understand that simply saying you think someone was using an aimbot 'cause you got owned is not evidence any more than saying you were abducted by aliens proves that you were? Why is this such a difficult concept for people? This thread has gone on long enough by now that if aimbots actually existed then somebody would have posted one by now. So it's overwhelmingly probable that they don't exist.
