I ultimately ended up helping Harry with Savage but crazy to see I was in clans with some of the players that was witnessed abusing the system. I never knew the game crash thing after attacking people's base was a bug. I thought it was Internet related so it makes me disgusted that I saw the Megacity clans repeatedly being offenders in this video as they were a part of my competition back in the day.

I’d like to add some context about how ghosting worked beyond the airplane mode method having been in the cheating community myself. Something you didn’t mention was that ghosting was still possible in clan wars up until 2017 by modifying your device and game files in iFile or similar data managing apps through Cydia. The modified files would corrupt game data related to certain troops, namely Valkyries or giants, which would crash the game and nullify the attack once that troop was used in the attack. As for legends ghosting, the method involved using a wifi hotspot and going into airplane mode on the host device as you clicked attack. As for the Stephanie and Dr. Mujtaba ordeal, the $1500 payments were exclusively for selling accounts to them, where they would change the account name themselves. They would only pay up to ~$400 for name changes. They inevitably fled from the clash scene after they were outed for not paying their pro team rosters. Win trading is insanely bad on the Chinese server, though, where the top players are getting upwards of 200 defense wins per season. This was a pretty good video!

6:13 Back in the days, the location of traps would actually be sent to your device, remain invisible. Therefore you could root your device to visualize them. This was changed someday so it would not work anymore. Other function of mods are quite self-explanatory though

[@eydiggah5872]

it was never changed it cant be changed your device needs the traps to run the attack lol just modding your client to visualize them was made harder by adding protections

[@joshwood3]

​@@eydiggah5872 are you sure? They couldve built it so that the client doesnt know the location of traps until the server sends the traps location. The server could wait to send the location of the traps until troops are near enough to trigger it. A quick test for this could be to turn off internet mid attack and see if you can get a trap to trigger while the Internet is off.

[@ictogon]

​@@eydiggah5872 not if the attack is running server-side, which it probably is

[@jfbeam]

@@eydiggah5872 The "fix" is to not transmit the traps until the attack is started. The client can still be hacked to show them, but the attack will be counted. (thus, the current day practice of "scouting attacks"... we've all seen the TH3 attacking a TH16 with a singe barb.)

It's basically impossible to eliminate ALL cheating without also having a bunch of false positives, but you can usually catch the most overt cheaters without much fear of getting it wrong. Primer did a video on this one time, "how to catch a cheater with math", I highly recommend it.

[@jfbeam]

Exactly. The two key ways to catch a cheat... (a) detect the software on their device -- not so easy to do on a hacked device. (b) by their behavior... for example, the auto-skip feature as shown here is a dead giveaway as no human can tap that fast - the screen with the skip button isn't even drawn!

[@Swapsty]

XMoD was so popular back then everyone in my clans used it for clan wars practice 😅😅... Basically you can do unlimited Ghost attacks, without actually attacking the base

Yeah, it was so common that people were suggesting to just split clan war matchmaking into modder and non-modder groups. Even the top KZbinrs were cautious of condemning mods because so many people used them.

[@duovigintillongaming3779]

You can still practice attacks in private servers which are completely separate from main server and absolutely impossible to detect since it's a separate app but setting up each base individually is a pain in the ass

[@ayushmauryars]

I'm one of the xmod cheat developer team and I can confirm that due to players being afraid of using any more cheats, we had to move on and split into separate games and modding teams. Those days were fantastic we really got 100s of our testing accounts banned just to test our Anticheat is working fine or not for the users. That was a moment supercell was giving updates very frequently on the basis of anticheat and we were focused on bypassing it and other members of the team were focused on finding some new mods if we could do. It was that golden era when we survived as a single cheat for coc with no competetion. Later on many of us moved to anticheat making companies as senior engineers with zero degree but excellent knowledge of modding and anticheat. And some of us joined another modding groups or a very few made their own private cheats for other games. Truly love❤

@@King-vm2yk they would give you ban. Supercell is strictly against that. I know you see many auto farmer bots being sold on facebook ads and all but the thing is they have their own mechanism of AI and ML. They don't look like they're bots. They have random clicks and motions like human hands. But still there is a 15-20% chance of getting banned. So instead of creating that you can try something different. As if someone gets banned he would criticize your product, and you'll have to learn how to put criticism under the foot or you'll end up shutting down the project with a huge loss of time and money.

After all the cheats were very simple. You can do most of those things but you have to set them up manually using some macro software(which was easier on PC and why I think they were tryna get rid of emulators). The game just checked your storage to see if you have cheats installed which is impossible to do if you make it yourself or use emulator since the cheat runs on the host machine while the game is on the virtual machine.

yep, I did this too. I think it was called botting, I remember I had bought a VPS for a couple of months and simply left the software run, I would connect to the VPS, pause the software, spend my loot on upgrades, resume the software and continue on with my day. In a span of around 5 months I got ahead of everyone I knew and they all thought I was playing 24/7 when in reality my playtime was 0. You could farm throphies, loot, there were many features in the software. I loved the game before I used bots and also loved the game when I was using bots, but at the end of the day, I saw that the game revolves highly around the "grinding" aspect, so I let the bot do that for me so I can enjoy my life.

[@fujster]

​@@blazin420copscantcatchmeit's called cope. You are cheating, sure the game is a grind, but you don't have to do that dude. You can just be behind your friends. You're literally just cheating to look good to friends.

[@badrinath5306]

​@@fujster u do realize the initial appeal of this game was to the age group of 10 to 13 right?? That's the age i played it in. And please it wasnt a grind. It was a milking situation if u wanted to go anywhere worthwhile. Especially ially for king and queen upgrades.

Back when vincent dog and Mega Empire were at the top of the leaderboards 24/7

Remember when you could place buildings outside the base boundaries making it impossible for a 3 star

[@Artbooksandboro]

In a now very distance past and a long lost account I had A farming and upgrading bot. I had a virtual android bot on my PC which was logged into clash of clans and run it 24/7, the Clash bot would log out and back in at random intervals to make it "less likely to be picked up as a bot". My current account on it I have had for about 6 years but I have took long breaks from it in between but I haven't done any cheating on the account which is much more satisfying and enjoyable. Years ago with clash of clans a method was doing the rounds where you would search for a dead account, write down the details and email Supercell saying you had lost access to it with a pre written email. I don't know whether this actually ever worked as I never tried it but it was quite a popular subject of videos and tutorials at one point.

[@eydiggah5872]

yes botting and phishing

[@rjpd09]

A cheater gave Supercell an idea lol

[@raffislive9454]

[@derilriordan]

Was very happy to be the part of Quantum's. Good old days.

[@pinetree7068]

I believe the second wave of ghosting which was never explained could've been possible by use of VPNs. At least a year ago you could turn off your network while you were connected to certain VPNs and the game thought you still had connection. If you did this while the waiting time in the match and the game thought you never dropped a troop wouldn't that count as a non used attack? If not then at least for normal matches it would've been still possible.

[@eydiggah5872]

yeah no that was explained they used modded clients

Man I miss playing this game. Me and my friends used to scam others clan and take leaderships. Miss those days

[@unPhine]

I can recall accidentally ghosting some attacks in clouds because my internet dropped off while searching for opponents or right after finding one. You do the attack and than after you’re done the “no internet connection” pops up, you reload the game and discover that this attack was never even a thing, no resources gained, no troops used, no trophies gained. At a time I thought it was a cool bug since I got the fun of practicing an actual attack for free without having to wait for troops queue again

[@frustationoverloaded5976]

I remember the reign of dr. Mujtafa. He would literally have all 50 players in a clan named dr. Mujtaba and all in legends league at max level(th12 back then).

[@Sneaky_07]

That's why i like Itzu & stars . They both are genuine pushers ❤️

[@TheGhost_In_the_Shell]

Itzu yes surely but not stars, On twitter last time a german player showed proof of how Stars is using cash to manipulate players to share war bases in advance so that players from Zoos can see traps and triple all bases, if he is doing this in CWL why can't he do in legends. I am not stars hater I know he is a legend when comes to wars but he can obviously cheat to be 100% sure to remain at top of leaderboards. The thread exposing stars also caught attention of Riqirez who shared some past discussion between Abd Alahabady and Stars reagrding CWL which involved bribing the clans.... I cannot find the thread but if I do I surely would share

[@Mohitnagar01]

Then in eSports match too , did enemy reveal base ???😂​@@TheGhost_In_the_Shell

[@TheGhost_In_the_Shell]

@@Mohitnagar01 bro nobody is denying star's skill but I think you don't know at top leaderboard every star counts and I never said Stars did cheating for himself, he did cheating with entire clan... not everybody in his clan is as good as he is. Every star counts so they bribe other clans making sure they get perfect war and remove any chances of fails.... see no matter how good stars is he can also two star if he is set up in the bait, so if he knows traps then surely he will triple without any problems

I left in the summer of 2019. I pushed pretty hard, usually in the 6300 range. I recognize a lot of those names you screenshotted, namely Dr. M...(not going to try to spell that). I quit because of the cloud issue. I can remember an 8 hour wait for an attack before. Getting on after server maintenance was the most important part of the week. You had to juggle shields all month and hope to get enough matches. Needless to say, 3*s was a must on every attack. A failed attack would probably mean a broken device. I can't imagine the numbers above that, in the 7k range on their accounts.

I must admit, I used to try xmod back in the days. It was way too normal that I thought there was nothing wrong with it. Everyone in my class also used it.

[@robertheun7595]

I had a friend in high school freshman year 2012, had a jailbroke phone, and was showing off how he could cheat in clash of clans. I cant remember all he was able to do, but I think he was able to get as many gems as he wanted, also attack any base he wanted, having a setting where the searching for a base could be set to whatever amount of resources he wanted. So he could set it to 1.5 million gold and elixir and it would find him a base with that much available. He also showed off how he could use computers in the library to hack other computers and send them messages xD

[@UtukusiiBelgian]

Amazing video! I finally discovered what all the Stephanie names were about. I was always confused as to how someone could have so many accounts on the leaderboard, or convince so many people to change their names.
