The Multibillion Dollar Industry That's Ignored - Jason Montgomery and Ryan Sevey Derbycon 2014 (Hacking Illustrated Series InfoSec Tutorial Videos)

The Multibillion Dollar Industry That's Ignored
Jason Montgomery and Ryan Sevey
Derbycon 2014

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.
