How anti-cheats catch cheaters using memory heuristics

I used to develop multiplayer cheats and bots because I enjoyed overcoming the technical challenge. Reverse engineering software, creating and injecting your own shell code in a game and see it working is extremely satisfying.

It seems very selfish in retrospective and I'm sorry for all the gamer experiences I ruined.

Or maybe you saved someone from gaming addiction by breaking these games and making it harder to win.

Or the inverse: because someone had to work harder, the experience of finally winning only made the feeling so much better, and released a ton more endorphins.

Or maybe .. neither really contributes or detracts from “gamer addiction”.
