    Ok, awesome for the programming practice/proof of concept but for gaming, I never understood the idea behind cheating.

    Takes out half the fun of playing the game. You enjoy trolling people and harvesting the salt? Either get better or find a game that includes it as part of its core gameplay (ie eve online)

      Cheats are so interesting to make lol. I won’t lie, DLL hooking is passionating. I never used them in real matches though, I don’t see the point in that.

      But programming-wise, cheats work in a interesting environment => kernel drivers

      So there’s a lot of thing to experiment with to confuse Vanguard for instance

      I’m interest at the eve part as I’m looking to join. Is cheating common?

      EDIT: missed a word

        Eve online? In game Trolling/scamming is allowed and a completely valid gameplay, profit generating activity. The game is open ended so personality conflict and consensual/non-consensual PVP are the main activity drivers in the game.

        Creating a python script to watch your screen and report intelligence to a third party out of game/recon tool? Probably completely within EULA and useful.

        Creating a script that interacts with the client in any way (mouse clicks, packet sniffing etc.) is against Eula and will get you banned (considered cheating)

        It’s a really unique game, worth a try. Nothing like it, not for everyone though. If you try it, try to spend no more than a week on your own in it. Then seek out other player groups in the game. It’s truly difficult to get by on your own in that game - and actually quite boring without the social aspect.
