WHAT IS THE GAME HACKING VILLAGE?

The Game Hacking Village is a community dedicated to game security. In this village, we explore hands-on reverse engineering, modification, and exploition of games across various platforms. We want to make game security accessible, learnable and playable for all skill levels, because we believe that it is a fantastic way for developing an understanding of modern cybersecurity.

The goal of our community is to learn and ultimately increase the security within modern video games. We do not endorse cheating in online games.
