DEF CON 33 - Playing Dirty w/o Cheating - Getting Banned for Fun - S Collins, M Muench, T Chothia

Welcome to the world’s worst let’s-play: if you’ve ever wanted to get yourself or your friends banned from a game: Stick around. We explore how modern anti-cheat systems work, and practically show how to get banned in the most innovative and hilarious ways possible—all without launching a single real cheat. We also dive into Hardware ID bans, and how machine ‘fingerprints’ are collected and enforced. With this knowledge at hand, we demonstrate how to remotely poison innocent machines — capturing a target’s HWID, spoofing it, and getting it burned. BIOS flashing, RAM SPD rewriting, and other fun tricks included. Join our masterclass in making yourself and others appear guilty online.
