Posting as someone who would claim to know a little bit about the hacking community and how it all goes down I would say that as it exists in starcraft unless Blizzard moves the map server-side (as they have done with so many other things... gambling being the most notable example) then it will always be able to be retrieved by a version of the maphack. Also, as long as unit portraits or character models persay are still based on the equipment that you wear, much of the "item scanning" will still be able to occur (albeit a lot of the precision and full item viewing could be taken out of the whole exploit.) As for other hacks like item grabbers and chickening software, as long as you are communicating with battle.net they will be able to be built (likewise for the bots). The only way I can see around that kind of thing would be to blacklist the programs from running, which is very easily circumvented. So, will it fix hacks? It has the potential to destroy some of them and if Blizzard follows similiar patterns, all of the memory addresses within the hacks will need to be changed, so write a letter to your favorite hack maker and ask them not to update it :D
Anyways, bubye.
