Thoroughly enjoyed this explanation of how and why hackers and everyday game players exploit and abuse online games. It goes through
- why hackers are attracted to the games in the first place
- why it is illegal and -- more interestingly -- just how restrictive the legal agreements are that most players just click through
- how lucrative it is (reminds me of the old bank robber joke... a famous bank robber was asked why he robbed banks. He said: that's where the money is!)
- the common theoretical bases of any vulnerability
- how to hack game clients and build bots
