As seems to be the case with most RTS games, a stream of maphacks has started to be developed. While we don’t support hacking, we believe SC2 users should know and understand what is out there. As always, use of any hack on Battle.net will deservedly get you banned.
The latest maphack can be seen here: http://www.blizzardbeta.com/files/MapHack%20SC2.zip
Cranix has released his Maphack version 10.a, with the following release notes:

While I don’t whole-heartedly agree with hacking online when you’re playing real Melee games, I do support computer development and will probably try this hack out ’cause it’s amazing what someone who doesn’t work for Blizzard can do to the game if they had enough knowledge in the right areas.

Fine, if you want to use the hack, use it in single player or against a computer.
Hope you get banned though from battle.net if used against another player.

Whoever is dumb enough to use it online is just plain stupid, but offline against comps is fine with me.
