Video games are something that a lot of us enjoy playing to escape the realities of the world- and to just relax and have fun. What's unknown to many gamers who work hard to up their skills- they often are losing to cheaters who can dominate them with low skills by subscribing to a ~$10 a month cheat service (which often requires disabling UAC- DEP- and AV).This talk will examine some of the security issues facing the gaming industry and the cheating marketplace- and will include a deep dive into how game 'hacks' such as aimbots and extrasensory perception (ESP) work in current gaming engines. We'll explore current anti-cheat technologies and techniques attackers use to easily bypass them- as well as how the cheats themselves are protected from being discovered. Finally we conclude with proposing new anti-cheat techniques including Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence giving the legit gamers an enjoyable experience again.
