This program is probably legacy at this point but can be used to detect old hacks on broodwar. If you played on battle.net you played against hackers. This can detect autosplit/gather, multiselect, zerg mineral hack, and my newly discovered autoqueue hack! I have this setup to scan only at battle.net latency.


This program can scan entire directories of .rep files. Test it against your thousands of replays! It is near impossible or too time consuming to actually look at bwchart logs and see who hacked but this program does the dirty work.


Use LAN or web cameras if you really care for a 100% clean game. I accept the possibility of false positives but I believe I near perfected this where it shouldn’t be an issue. Please analyze bwchart before throwing accusations against players.




**********************************************************************************
I would like to update this to detect LAN hackers. If you have replays (at least 5) of hackers at lan latency, please let me know. I'm too lazy to download an old patch and test the hacks offline with them.

TinyCamPro vs IP Cam Viewer Pro

I'm using a rooted nook and wanted an app that was capable of recording video. This was appealing since my nook could possibly be a low energy cost solution for recording. Both TinyCam and IP Cam Viewer cost the same from the android market so quality ought to be comparable.


I went out and bought TinyCam Pro and first had to uncheck a total of 16 international cameras from around the world. It isn't very entertaining to watching a small stretch of Riga, Latvia highway or the entry way of a University of Groningen, Netherlands campus building. Installing my foscam FI8918W and dlink 950G was a breeze.

Unfortunately, TinyCam isn't very fast at obtaining images and again this is from my router so there should be no excuse for lag. Also, it doesn't have a playback feature.... It supposedly has motion detection but my experience was it was just a snapshot that was way after the fact, either I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't work. Not being impressed with the frames per second, I requested a refund and uninstalled but the creator never refunded me back (so that is my experience with refunds). I ended up reinstalling it since I paid for it and not getting refunded. Who knows, maybe he'll update it.


I also want to note that I'm pretty confident someone was bs'ing the feedback up for TinyCam Pro. Notice the 4 consecutive glowing reviews all using the word "Simply"?


Notice the "Great App!"




I gave IP Cam viewer a try. It too detected both my foscam and dlink camera. The frames per second were much quicker (not as fast is Blue Iris for my PC) but quicker than TinyCam nonetheless. It also has a built in playback recording. IP Cam viewer in my opinion is better for this reason.
