- Developed a universal cheat for Vertical Scrolling Rhythm Games (VSRGs) using math and reinforcement learning.
- Achieved top 20 worldwide rankings in games like osu!mania without pressing a single key.
- Used social engineering to integrate into the community, with top players vouching for legitimacy.
- Focused on mimicking human error patterns to avoid detection by both software and the community.
- Trained a model on thousands of replays to replicate human timing distributions accurately.
- Implemented a 'humanizer' layer to adjust timing variance dynamically based on play speed.
- Successfully bypassed anti-cheat measures but was banned due to community suspicion, not technical detection.
- Highlighted the effectiveness of community vigilance over automated anti-cheat systems.
- Explored the intersection of machine learning, game hacking, and social engineering.
- Concluded that the hardest part of cheating isn't fooling the software but fooling the people.
