Videogame studios are under serious attack, partly because they don't need to adhere to the same security requirements and regulatory demands as more prominent industries. From an attacker's viewpoint, it's very lucrative. Not only are game developers at risk for attack, so are the gamers themselves. Access to one's XBOX LIVE account, or game profile could cause irreversible damage in gameplay as well as personal financial loss. Matt Huysman, Co-Founder and COO of Cyrex, specializes in software development and application security, with a very strong focus on the gaming industry. His company is in full control of this space when it comes to APPSEC and Pentesting services. Matt's extremely proficient in hacking any game engine, protocol or architecture, in turn helping secure many well known gaming titles such as DOOM ETERNAL, TERA, FROZEN FLAME, KINGDOM UNDER FIRE II and many more.

He plugs in as Player 2 at the bar, and we join forces to discuss the history of online game hacking, adversary motives, exploiting game architecture, reverse-engineering and testing methodologies, player safeguards, Anti-Cheat mechanisms and much more!
