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. 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. | 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.

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. | 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). | ||

However, the problem with defaming the hacker is that generally, hackers are weak, low levelled new players and therefore possess no fame to take away. | However, the problem with defaming the hacker is that generally, hackers are weak, low levelled new players and therefore possess no fame to take away. | ||

*Item Vacuum Hack (or Item Vac-Hack 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 Ground]]s. 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. | *Item Vacuum Hack (or Item Vac-Hack 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 Ground]]s. 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. 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 (Monster Vac-Hack) - Sucks MONSTERS towards a character on the map. There are several variations of this hack. The first involves sucking a monster toward a player on the map. This is usually so the player, usually a high levelled veteran can kill the monster and gain its exp (though the Farming Hack is usually more used for this purpose, as this is risky). The second variation involves sweeping a monster across a platform in the game. Again, this can be used so the player does not have to move to the monster. Sometimes, this is used as some players' jokes, by tripping up other players on the platform. However, this can be seen as annoying if some players do not take well to it and even occasionally deadly, if a player gets hit by the monster it causes his or her HP drops to zero. The third variation involves sucking a monster to a certain spot on the map, usually in front of the hacker so that the hacker can kill for it's EXP. | *Monster Vacuum Hack (Monster Vac-Hack) - Sucks MONSTERS towards a character on the map.

*Farming Hack - This is the most | *Farming Hack - This is the most common hack seen in Maple Story. This hack involves enabling the hacker's weapon to hit monsters anywhere on the map, so that the hacker can stay in a safe spot and farm monsters for EXP while not having to go to the monster and risk taking damage. It is often paired with [[Botting]], as the person can easily tape down the attack key and leave the player killing monsters overnight to gain levels while he rests. This is the most annoying kind of hack, since it will be nearly impossible to train properly on monsters in the same map as the hacker while the hacker is using this hack. It is also occasionally paired with the Item Vac-Hack so the hacker can gain the monsters drops during farming. | ||
*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]]. | *Meso Generator - This hacks a character's mesos and allows the hacker to change the variable, increasing the amount of mesos the character holds.
