Hack

The recent "NewbWithBoob" hacking at the Henesys Hunting Ground 3.

Description

A hack in Maple Story is a something done outside of the game without legal consent to influence the game itself, and can be considered cheating, because it involves the use of a 3rd party program. For example: The popular "Item Vacuum Hack" sucks, or vacuums, all or most items on the map that the character can currently pick up (items from monsters not killed by the player still within the ten-second limit are such examples) to the character. This hack enables quick withdrawing of items that would otherwise not be possible in the game.

Although hacks are most often used for cheating in the game, there is the rare occasion where someone uses a hack to crash the game's server out of malicious intent (though such incidents are decidedly rare).

Solutions

A hacker still at large hacking at the third and final level of the Henesys Hunting Grounds.

Even though hackers are messing with your training, you cannot stop them. Neither are you going to sit and wait for him/her to go. Just change channel, and if ALL the channels are full, fuck you. So one of the reliable methods is to annoy the hacker. IF it doesn't work, he/she's botting.

Defaming is gay. Don't do it.

If you want to report him/her, it is advised to rush. Do not take screenshots, because it makes you lag. Try to remember the name, but not right-click because it will say "Can't find user".

List of Known Hacks and their Effects

• Item Vacuum Hack (or Item Vac for short) - Sucks all items on current map to the character - often used in crowded hunting places, such as Pig Beach and the Henesys Hunting Grounds. Item Vac-hack can also be used to scam people. For example, the hacker asks a random person to drop his most valuable equipment at a distance. Once that happens the hack will kick into action and "suck away" the equipment. It is also sometimes interferes with Drop Item games, or is used to cheat at it, and can also be annoying when people you are trading with drop items for you which are promptly sucked away by a hacker. While the Item Vac-Hack is the most common use of this hack, occasionally one sees use of the Monster Vac-Hack. For that hack, read below.

• Monster Vacuum Hack (Vac) -

• dLiCiOuS Elixis Monster Item Vac - (Always called dEMI) This is the most common hack seen in Maple Story. This hack involves enabling the hacker's character values and combining

• Meso Generator - This hacks a character's mesos and allows the hacker to change the variable, increasing the amount of mesos the character holds. Some of the programs also have features to change the character's stats. This can also refer the the scam Meso Generator.

• Godmode - This one enables the hacker to avoid ANY damage of ANY sort. He can just walk through the monsters, without even flinching. Magic attacks do not deal damage either. This is almost always used with vaccing and/or botting, or to go around vacing items off other players' kills on a map with monsters.

• Swear Filter - This hack is fake, as there is a secret trick to cusing.

• Multiplication Hack - The hacker can make an exact copy of an item, usually getting them very rich.

• Speed Hack - This allows the hacker to attack at a faster rate, as well as bypass Maple Story's 100-hits per minute system.

• Zig-Zag Vac - This causes all jumping monsters to be sucked to the top of the map. Could be seen as a variation as the Monster Vacuum Hack.

• Timed DupeX - This is a version of the Monster Vac which was patched in an earlier update of Maple Story. It allows the hacker to use Monster Vac for a brief period of time.

• Unrandomizers - This is a hack used for getting perfect stats on a hacker's character and also for always performing a stabbing or swinging attack 100% of the time with a weapon (hence the name Unrandomizer).

• Tubi and SuperTubi - A hack usually combined with Item Vac that causes the player to pick up more than 1 item at a time making for extremely fast pickup rates and quicker getaways for the few hackers that rightfully care about being caught.
