The purpose of this is to be purely informative for those who either don't know the player or misunderstood him.
How it all began...
At school, HackerAlert was challenged to try to hack FRHD by a friend.
He took this challenge not just because he could but there was finally something that he could test his skills on.
Then, no more than 5 days later, he did it... he made a cheat that would instantly beat any one-star track.
Then, he thought, "well that was fun" and wanted to go further. It was no longer that he wanted to test his skills,
it was now that was now because it was fun to watch in action and he also knew that he could do better.
So then he made one that could beat tracks with multiple starts and it automatically when to the first track in the recommended bar and repeat.
He got banned and spent about 5 minutes then figured out how to get past the banning system.
This process of him getting banned repeated 3 times or so until he decided he wanted to stop getting banned, period.
So, he posted that if he got banned again then he would release the script to everybody for everybody to use.
So, it worked... for about a day. HackerAlert kept true to his word and released the script to everybody but he did it in an interesting way.
He made it so anybody that used the script would automatically post the script and directions on how to use it in the description of any track that it beat.
This was fun for him for about a day until he realized that he shouldn't have done it.
Though thank goodness to some foresight on HackerAlerts part he did have it set up so he could just take down the entire script.
Then whenever it was being attempted to be used it would just error.
HackerAlert decided that itself was not enough, he had to make it up better, he wanted to program the first anti-cheat for FRHD.
He contacted Char, but Char turned him down. Char said that he would make an anti-cheat for FRHD eventually.
That was it from HackerAlert for a while, he got better at actually playing the game and other stuff.
Then, somebody messaged HackerAlert to make an image to track for 5 USD.
This being one of the first times HackerAlert was actually being paid to program, he gladly obliged.
So, after a month or so he finally made it. It was not fully up to a level where it was product ready, but it did function.
Some of you might remember the Kobe Bryant track that he posted as a test. It instantly started to gain likes.
He got the track onto trending and daily track. He sent the image to track to his buyer.
Then he ran into more trouble, people on this forum go really mad at him. Accused him of copyright among other things.
At the time HackerAlert had no idea that he broke the copyright law because he learned about copyright in America.
Not in the place that the image itself was made. In America, as long as you give the creator of a picture credit (as simple as giving a name)
You wouldn't get into trouble for using it, but in the other country, you had to site the source of the picture as well.
Then a couple of days later disaster struck HackerAlert. His track got like botted by somebody.
The track was taken down and HackerAlert was accused of like botting his track.
This infuriated HackerAlert because this time he didn't do it but because of his reputation, people thought of course he did.
It took HackerAlert a while for him to start to not being mentioned again.
Then, due to a mistake on HackerAlert's part, he gave it to a friend for free.
And this person made an account with its name seeming like it was HackerAlert that indeed made the account.
He also posted a bunch of tracks with NSFW content in them.
This took about a day for HackerAlert to realize and he quickly told his friend to shut it down and say in some way that it was not
me who made it the wretched account. I also took away my friend's privileges to use the image to track.
A month or so passed.
Then HackerAlert discovered an idea made by a person named Pie42, it was called a tool-assisted superplay (TAS) script.
This pretty much gave the TAS user the ability to make time really slow in FRHD and it gave the user the ability to go back in time while playing a track.
HackerAlert became obsessed with it, he worked for a long time on it and even partnered up with some other people to make a working version.
After much longer, it was finally finished. Everybody that contributed used it, but HackerAlert. Now, I know this must be news for quite a few people,
but it is true. HackerAlert never used this invention, one that you could simply not get banned because it didn't break any FRHD rules.
HackerAlert stopped being as active as he was before, but every now and then he does get on and play a bit.
You must have wondered during this time what HackerAlert's username is right now.... its Zenblade.
Other players that were not mentioned by name won't be unless those players want their usernames mentioned.
I just want to clear some things up and tell the truth so that untrue rumors could finally disappear.
I am sorry for what I have done.
(And no, this is not meant to be clickbait.)
