So far the hackers have been briliant working around the clock to provide us unlucky people (who blizzard "forgot" to send a beta key to) with a great taste of whats to come in the final game.
So far the hackers have gifted us
- A playable beta version of SC2
- We can play against quite competitive Ai on a range of different maps
- There are now launchers so that we can choose race, starting position and colour and soon will be able to choose teams and team up with Ai
All of this can be found here http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/
I believe hackers are also developing tools to enable lan play and bnet 2.0 emulation which would basically enable users of the hacked beta to play online aginst each other rather than playing against Ai. Check out darkblizz or http://www.code-gen.net/sc2beta/ for updates on this.
Also for noobs I have made a simple guide to using this hacked beta

So this is a basic summary on the progress so far i'll keep you posted on any news
