We have a profound respect for the video game cheat makers and video game reverse engineers. The video game cheat producers and video game reverse engineers are very much disenfranchised by the information security community. There is an innate bias and condescending tone directed toward them because of the dislike of video game cheaters and the false belief that this skillset (video game reverse engineering) is not an applicable skillset in real-world scenarios. This cannot be further from the truth. Individuals capable of reverse engineering video games and developing cheats for them are lethal. These people can easily transfer and apply this skillset to targeted application exploitation or weaponization. We've had the privilege of conversing with some truly special and gifted young people. Unfortunately, we are not privy with this community in totality, but we wanted to take this moment to express our gratitude to people such as @daaximus, @JustasMasiulis, and @namazso. We have witnessed these individuals make considerable contributions to recent trendy research topics and, in our opinion, have been given insufficient credit for their work. Very few people seem to realize these people have been core contributors to recently re-discovered (or newly announced?) process injection techniques. Additionally, Namazso is in essence the primary person who produced code and information on the recent trend of stack spoofing. Much love and respect to these people. We see you. We hope others do too. 🫡
