Exploits Club Summary:

I know a handful of you RE nerds got your start in game hacking. Well, this week the team at Vanguard (anti-cheat for Valorant) released a very minimal peek behind the curtain at what they have been working on recently - the post talks through metrics the team keeps track of, trends in bans, and approaches to new attack surfaces. Specifically, it looks at the rise in DMA tools and talks through how IOMMU appears to be the most viable path forward. The post ends with some of the challenges associated with Valorants move to console in 2024, keying in on some internal testing the team did to prevent M&K on console.
