wallhacking

Seeing through barriers

Wallhacking is cheating in video games by using software that lets you see through walls and other solid surfaces, revealing hidden enemies or objects.

The term comes from early first-person shooters where the cheat literally made walls transparent: He's definitely wallhacking—there's no way he knew I was there.

Also called wallhacks or walls.
