Hello guys, I was going to put this in the gaming area but I think putting it there would be too specific. Yesterday I made a lag switch.

This is how I did it:

First I took an internet cable and i cut through the plastic around the cable carefully without destroying the cables inside.

When I got inside the internet cable there were alot of different colored cables. I cut the orange one.

Then I removed the plastic from the orange cable so there were pure coppar. Now I took the two edges of the orange cable and put it to a switch. Now, when the switch is off it blocks the internet flow and when It's on everything works fine.

Unfortunately my internet cable was too short, so I had a hub laying around in my room and I took my internet cable I've always used, plugged it into the hub and I redirected the traffic to my shorter modificated internet cable.
Now, if I would be in a Call of Duty game for example, as fast as I see an enemy I can switch off my lag switch and I will stand still for my enemy. Meanwhile I can go behind him and switch the lag switch on again and I'll end up beign behind my enemy where I can do whatever I want

Interesting... cheating... but interesting.

Just to be clear, its called an ethernet cable, and you could do this with the wires orange, orange+white, green, green+white on a Cat5 ethernet cable. If you did it with any of the other 4 wires it would have no effect as these are unused. On a Cat6 ethernet cables though with speeds up to 1gbps doing this may only reduce the speed. unsure tbh

but i will say doing this will severely compromise the quality of the cable. You may find that you have a reduced signal over the wire even when the switch isnt activated. it will be far more susceptible to interference from outside sources.

That's an ethernet cable. Sorry

I'm not convinced this would work to a level which would be an advantage in-game. But what you proposed is technically feasible on a hardware level (the concept of the lag switch).

This tactical lag would be much better created through the use of some sort of software-based application rather than on the hardware level.

Yeah, that's true. But, it might work sometimes. I've already tried in Counter Strike, but that didn't turn out very well. I was just standing still unable to walk or anything and when I switched it on again I was dead

But I'm pretty sure that it'll work in Call of Duty though.

you're essentially cutting the internet connection. if the game relies on a server to determine where you are i would imagine you wouldnt have much success with being able to walk around the map unless it was your client responsible for reporting your location. in which case you could probably code some software hacks to make this much more efficient cheating lol
