Cheaters Leave Footprints: Forensics of Cheats in Modern Competitive Games
Cheating in modern competitive games is no longer a gameplay issue!
It is a digital forensics problem. Using popular multiplayer titles in Asia such as League of Legends, Valorant, and Apex Legends, this talk examines how cheats behave like malware implants and how they leave persistent forensic artefacts in memory, disk, and telemetry.
The session focuses on post incident analysis rather than cheat development, showing how cheating activity can be reconstructed after the fact, how claims of innocence can be validated or disproven, and why anti-cheat engineering closely mirrors modern endpoint detection and response systems.
