I was looking for an anti-hack that defends against any kind of hack, not just map hack; similar to the one in Phantom BGH 4.4
None.
Need help with anti-hack
Does anyone know a good anti-hack method?

This topic has been beaten to death. If you found something you like, then copy the way they did it. If you want to create a specific anti-hack, then figure out how to stop it. Maphacks themselves are difficult to stop unless you specifically drop an EUD on them (which can be patched with ease), litter the map with a crashing sprite that isn't already blocked by maphack (again patched with ease), or somehow manage to find the location of the minimap/fog of war in the memory (variable location utilizing a pointer, virtually impossible to find every time, but difficult to patch). Other hacks you can attempt to detect their actions (mineral hacks: detect specific changes in minerals, etc...) or drop an EUD like with the maphack (also note it's not always easy to find the location of the memory).

"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
Map vision data is allocated dynamically so there's too many places where it could be stored, and it's not like we can dereference pointers with EUDs. I'm not sure about minimap colors though.
I remember one phantom map tried to detect automine probably using timers and if they got minerals before a certain time it banned the person. It's probably not too reliable because it false positive'd on me. Maybe EUD order destinations would be more reliable, but I haven't tested it. Something to experiment with.
atm the only reliable anti-hack I know of is the desync banning system which prevents hackers from staying in-game after being defeated. Good thing is it's impossible to prevent it with any program.
EDIT:
I found a static area(s) in memory that can be utilized to desync a map hacker. It'll be quite easy for someone like zynastor to patch since I think he can already parse the game's triggers, so PM me if you want it and I'll tell you if I'm convinced that you're not zynastor.

Mr.BurnLiquid -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: I'll check it out this weekend!
Thanks[2026-10-09. : 2:40 am]
Mr.BurnLiquid -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: Another map maker? Damn we really ARE back
I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.[2026-10-09. : 1:51 am]
Mr.BurnLiquid -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads 
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.[2026-10-09. : 1:34 am]

Mr.BurnLiquidMr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.[2026-10-09. : 1:33 am]
