I just wanna give a shout-out to all the game cheaters out there.
I just bought some pcileech hardware for a research project. It only dawned on me when I got the kit that the biggest buyer of these things are kids that use DMA attacks in order to cheat? I figured that out when the knockoff pcileech hardware I got has a weird USB doohickey, meant to bridge your keyboard and mouse into your PC. The card itself is meant to function as an aim-bot by using DMA and directing this USB monstrosity to aim for you.
I plan to use the card to extract some encryption keys from a computer but hey, this wouldn't be affordable if it were not for the gamers. Or really, for the griefers I guess. Are they still called griefers? I haven't played a FPS in like 15 years...
