I know it's not the best section to post this at, but it's not the worst.
Let's begin..... A few days ago i talked to a friend of mine and he told me that his older brother is working at Steam... and told me a few stuff about the hacks and the people that get banned.
1st: Steam and VAC don't bann you as soon as you hack....no, they let days pass untill one day. When is that day? Well, it depends. For instance, on 22 march steam and VAC banned 2,500 hackers. You all probably know that.
On 23 april, they banned another 1,500 hackers....
That means steam and VAC have periods in wich they follow ppl and see if they hack or not and then bann them all in the same time.
2nd: Some games have better VAC than others.
I read on the Steam forum that... if you get caught cheating at C.S. 1.6 you will be banned from Left 4 Dead 2, L4D, Half Life 2, Half Life and Team Fortress 1 &2. That also happens viceversa.... i mean, if u get caught cheating at Half Life, same thing happens. Why is that? cuz this games have lower protection and the hacks might be simillar.
Now if you get caught cheating at modern warfare 2, you only get banned from modern warfare 2. That explains that mw2 has a better security than the games above.
3rd: Some hacks are bannable and some are not...for instance, many states, even USA, the home of Steam, have a law that say "If you purchased a product and you modify that product, you don't break any rule."
Practically, you are allowed to modify your stats in your mw2, cuz it's yours. So level hacks are not bannable...you don't get banned usually for using a level hack. The only bannable hacks are aimbots and wallhacks, because they disturb the game of others, even tho, there are some undetectable aimbots that make the aiming look natural, and those are harder to find.
Vac-Chaos: I found alot of versions of VAC, and i can say they all work pretty good...untill you get banned. A friend told me that he got banned only for using VAC Chaos and the console...that means, even Vac Chaos is bannable.
One last thing....VAC usually bans the hackers at the end of each month... like they say on the forum, they let you hack a couple of weeks to see if u change your personallity and stop, but you don't (even if you do) and you get banned.
PS: This is just some info I collected from alot of good sources and I hope it helps you, if it does, give me a thank you, plz!
