How to catch a hacker?

I've seen alot of talk about hackers but no real way to know if your facing one. Is there anyway to find out and kick them before a match starts?

Nope. Unless they join in a spoof name. A note from me though... THEY ALWAYS LIE WHEN THEY SAY "I DONT HACK" OR "I ONLY SPOOF".

Nah, blizzard doesn't care about a 10 year old product enough to assign staff members just to ban players, especially with the whole SC2 deal going on. I know that RTOH has some antihacking features built in-(drone float, nuke anywhere, zerg mineral hack) but besides that if you wanna catch hackers you pretty much have to make your own antihacks.

just use BWLoader, it will tell you when the otehr player is looking at your base and if their clicking on your buildings and units when there is no such enemy on the map.

o.O even if you get the hacker's name, it might be spoofed.

BWLoader doesn't load in spoofed names.

Really only way is to kick all Spoofed names.

Check if their stacking or anything, Send a spy unit into their base at the start of the round and monitor what they are doing.

Only way to play opponents that don't hack would be.
A. Play within at least a time period of a week of SC patch being released.
B. Play in house games with people you know.
C. Join a League? example WCG?

Hopefully SC2 won't be riddled with mineral hackers and droppers. Maphacks eh that will always be around so get use to it.
