The game suffered from various exploits, including network bridging, standby manipulation, packet flooding, and DDoS attacks. The paper examines the software tools employed by players to execute these exploits, provides technical details on their implementation, and explores the motivations behind their widespread use. This is a great read. TCP's Evolution: From Secure Networks to Gaming Exploits in Halo 2 by Michael Mendy. https://lnkd.in/gWJz2j_Q

We've all heard of Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity issue affecting millions of devices and halting global commerce due to software crashing. The kernel-mode software, like Falcon Sensor, offers access but also risks system crashes. Video game anti-cheat systems operate similarly, but without the expertise of cybersecurity professionals.

A rare piece of gaming history just sold for (you won’t believe this) $35,000. The item was one of only a few “Nintendo PlayStation” prototype controllers that exist today. It went up for auction at the end of August and collectors went wild. Did I just say Nintendo PlayStation controller?... What? Well, before Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation started dominating the gaming world, the two companies briefly worked together on a console known as the 'Nintendo PlayStation'. Very few of the consoles were created and most were thrown away, making both the console and its controllers rare finds. This isn’t the first time a piece of the forgotten partnership has sold for big money, either. Back in March, a full Nintendo PlayStation console sold for (wait for it) $360,000! While no exclusive games were ever made for the console, it represents an important moment in gaming history, when Nintendo and Sony almost joined forces. Business owners can learn a lot from this story. It shows us that partnerships and product innovations - even if they never succeed - can leave a lasting impact (and sometimes have more value down the line!). https://lnkd.in/gpGafaqC #Nintendo #PlayStation #GamingHistory #computers #phonesystems #firewalls #cybersecurity #security #emails #cloudstorage #backup #firewall #shareddrive #wifi #Windows11 #UpgradeNow #Microsoft #MSP #businessgrowth #itdepartment #informationtechnology #outsourcedit #businesssolution
