Pentest for Game Studios
Offensive security in online games, MMO, anti-cheat, in-game economy and IP protection.
Why now
The real pain
Cheaters, bots and fraudsters destroy game economy and retention. Server code leaks expose vectors. Skin theft, leaderboard manipulation and secondary economy attacks are pure fraud.
Applicable regulation
