hacker alerts

Anyone familiar with hack detection? I found a web site that you can paste the game instructions in and it will detect some (not all) hacks.

What's amazing is the amount of hackers out there. There are a lot of maphackers out there too but that's harder to pick up. Sure signs of maphack is when they don't scout or 'pretend to scout' but don't do a good job. Subsequently, they follow up with things like amazing drop placements where troops aren't nearby or immediate expansion attacks before they are defended up.

I occassionally check for hacks using the web site but the last game I played took the cake. In a 3v3, all but me and another guy (we happened to bunker/cannon up and defend) were hacking. Our teammate was resource hacking himself, called me and the other defender useless while turtling and doing nothing. I suspect him of knowing others on the other team because he was ally visioning at the end of game probably for an allied victory.

FOUND 38 HACK(S) IN THE REPLAY:
buzzlightyear used autogather/autotrain hack at 5
walrus_abc used autogather/autotrain hack at 5
banawee used autogather/autotrain hack at 5
....etc...
banawee used zerg moneyhack at 17730
banawee used multicommand hack at 19135
banawee used zerg moneyhack at 19855
banawee used zerg moneyhack at 19860
zerg111 used multicommand hack at 14310

Then there are games where I am like..there has to be hacking goin on because the army count is ridiculous. The hack finder comes up clean. I get the feeling that most players have been on this game for 3+ years and have seen a lot and know what to do in almost every situation. What irks me is those same people feel the need to hack. A noob player who hacks will probably lose anyways (unless zerg mineral larvae hack). An expert who hacks is going to play like a korean pro. What gives?

I was going to check out the application you linked to, but NoScript blocked it (as it blocks all scripts on web sites I haven't visited before) and the .hu TLD (top-level domain) scared me a bit (no offense to Hungarians intended).

EDIT: Even without checking the site, I wouldn't be surprised to find quite a few people hacking on Battle.net. Blizzard (understandably) has several priorities that rank higher than banning cheaters from an 10-year old game. I'm impressed they still release patches to address bugs and exploits.

At least Blizzard makes more of an effort than Nintendo. From what I read, online multiplayer for Mario Kart Wii is pretty much a loss.

Before, I used these Anti-Hacks.

The Anti-Crash worked for me, as a hacker crashed the game.

The hacker dropped and everyone else but I manage to leave the game and play another.

But if a hacker does come, Spoiler Hackers, etc, I just leave. That way, I won't have to hassle, playing with a hacker.
