Why would you get burned for this? For people who don't know, sure, this smells of 'cheating' but it's essentially just an exercise in computer vision. Also, I'd posit that using various DMA type tools in the video game modding arena are impressive and unusually secretive because they make money on subscription services. It's fascinating to me how well some of those tools and mux hardware works. When you combine that with hardware we can now buy like the DGA with more onboard memory and faster interconnects, it's going to make reverse engineering, malware analysis, forensics -- a very interesting time for those who know what they are doing.
