Classify game-cheat capabilities and their defensive implications across memory, injection, rendering, input, engines, kernels, DMA, and remote transports. Use for authorized threat modeling, not operational deployment.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Game-hacking techniques

Map what an attacker observes or controls, the required capability, the trust boundary crossed, and where defenders have evidence or authority.

## Topic routing

- [Capabilities and core techniques](references/capabilities-and-core-techniques.md) for privilege levels, manipulation, injection, and cheat categories.
- [Rendering, memory, and input](references/rendering-memory-and-input.md) for overlays, access paths, driver communication, world-to-screen, and input.
- [Platform and evasion](references/platform-and-evasion.md) for EFI, device identity, stack behavior, and anti-detection concepts.
- [Engines and workflow](references/engines-and-workflow.md) for engine-specific surfaces and representative research workflows.
- [Attack-surface map](references/attack-surface-map.md), [repository resources](references/repository-resources.md), and [repository map](references/repository-map.md) for evidence and source selection.

Use the narrower engine, graphics, DMA, kernel, mobile, server, or supply-chain skill when one boundary dominates. Keep recommendations defensive and within the user's authorized scope.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gmh5225/awesome-game-security/game-hacking-techniques@sha256:94986bbf34a71641

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.ae72a69, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
