But it can if you want it to. UTDC can conceivably look outside and into the 
computer. That was my main problem with UTDC, it goes too far. Thankfully it 
crashes out if you try to examine too many packages outside of the UT 
folder, as the UT engine can't handle the handshake load.

Flash I used ScreenshotSender on my UT2004 server for a while and I started 
getting tired of fighting people over totally aimbot screenshots. Deny, 
deny, deny was the standard. I got pissed about it and contacted Gugi, who 
coded the sender. He blessed my little idea so I created a nice little box 
map with the cheaters screenshots plastered all over the walls. I figured it 
would either get my server bombed with crashers or highlight what you SHOULD 
NOT DO. Mind you, each of the botters highlighted on the map was given a 
chance by me personally to remove the bot before playing on my server and 
chose to ignore me.

I'm happy to report that it worked wonderfully. Even better it was 
well-received among the players and a couple of busted players came forward 
and apologized. Now another server uses it to remind their players too, and 
it was received well there too. My personal opinion is that for too long the 
cheat community has operated in the dark, with normal people only partially 
understanding what aimbots/radars/hacks can do. Anyone that admins my 
servers get a package of the latest aimbots with instructions on install, 
usage, then removal. I WANT them to see what they do so it's much easier to 
spot. Shines a light on them and to a man my admins go "OMG! I never knew!"

You can get the map here if you'd like to see it, or I can post a few 
screenshots:

You are welcome to use the map any way you'd like. Add, delete, change, 
alter....anything you want. I can easily convert this to a nice Clan map too 
with the cheat shots replaced with clanmembers pictures (which is actually 
what I started it out to be).
