This particular cheat is only about four months old, but groups of fully automated aimbotters have been around for a bit longer.

'for educational purposes'

in russia, player do not use hack - hack uses player!

why would it be open source, that makes it really easy to ban.

hmmmm sry bro u juts need to git gud lel ^^

when they told me automation is coming i did not expect it to come in the form of literal aimbots

it's harder to detect this kind of cheat. he wants to make a point about how "undetectable" his cheat is.

(his previous version was also "undetectable" but was eventually banned by VAC)

could just be an elite clan?

This reminds me of when I was pubbing and saw this bot that only played sniper

It had this auto message saying "pls do not kick this is an experiment to see if the bot can learn to play tf2"

Fucking lol

I really dislike these ""statements that vac is shit" hacks. did you really have to ruin the game for everyone else by deploying your aimbots...
although itd be cool to see if bots could learn how to play tf2 with neural networks or smth NOT in pubs

did they have dodge hacks included

They’re renamed cat bots, they’ve been around for a while

brutus is legion

necromancers raise the undead. they aren't the undead themselves. it should necromancer and his thralls or some shit. who does this fuck think he is.

The issue is that this is a cheat for linux. TF2 doesn't have client side VAC on linux, so they have to be VAC banned manually.

Linux does have VAC.

brutus has notoriously good aim. i'd love to see him fight a catbot.

Oh my god I bumped into the aimbot bots in a pub today, they were on both team all numbered and shit and they would taunt after headshot kills, haha this is AIDS

Clientside VAC seems to have been implemented for Linux CSGO June this year, the 4 month old readme for cathook boasts about needing to be manually vacbanned. Was Linux TF2 VAC implemented in the last 4 months?

If so then I'm sorry, I don't keep that up to date on these things.

VAC always existed on Linux. Not sure where you got the information about CSGO, nor do I know what you mean by CSGO or TF2 VAC "implementations" in the first place.

VAC is implemented in Steam itself, not any game client.

nullifiedcat is just complaining about his personal accounts getting manually banned and spreading lies about VAC to make his cheat look better/more usable.

This was closed at the same time that the aimtux cheat started getting detected. Maybe since vac got linux support cathook started getting detected also, which is why he's now working on catbase.

I got the info mainly from posts by nullifiedcat that were relayed to me. (basically because people thought that linux not having vac was a bit crazy)

I'll admit that I don't have a very good understanding of how VAC actually works, I just assumed that it was a TF2 only thing since its quite often that TF2 gets ignored.

Shadow Clone Jutsu

It always had Linux support, but VAC vs hacks is a game of cat and mouse. Valve had many more years of playing that game on Windows, so VAC is much more comprehensive there. On Linux, there's a lot more things you can do to integrate your hacks, so VAC has to catch up to block those strategies. However, that doesn't mean VAC wasn't on LInux in the first place.

I see these things on harvest valve servers, don't tick that map on EU

in the future we wont even have to play video games, robots will do it for us

Did bad cheat detecting systems murder his family? What does he get out of this?
Also get ready for tf2 captchas

i honestly get doing this kind of programming for the challenge (much like the guys who made projectile aimbots that could airshot) but releasing it for public use is just scummy as hell. just fuck anyone "trying to make a point" by disrupting gameplay for anyone.

theres a joke to be made about esea open but i cant find it
