This podcast is sponsored by Hydro. Visit them on the web at www.hydroinc.com.

What is a legacy pump and what are the big challenges of upgrading one?

At what point is it better to replace than repair the original part? What are the considerations there?

What challenges are there when a part comes in from somewhere? How are supply chain issues affecting replacement parts?

In this episode, we learn about Nemi's journey—from how he got started, to building his anti-cheat solutions, and working at top gaming firms. We discuss the anti-cheat industry, the future of anti-cheat, and game integrity. During the episode, Nemi shares practical tips on professionally pursuing a career as a game hacker and answers some community questions. This episode is full with valuable insights and actionable advice for game hackers.

Who is Nemi?
​Nemanja Mulasmajic, also known as Nemi, is known for his work in developing Hyperion, an anti-cheat solution that was later acquired by Roblox. Nemi began his career in information security at the Department of Defense. However, he soon realized his passion for video games, which led him to transition into the gaming industry. He landed his first job at Blizzard Entertainment, where he built to anti-cheat systems that protected Overwatch. Nemi then joined Riot Games, where he built a new prevention and detection solution for League of Legends. Today, Nemi continues his work in security as part of the Roblox team.

Early Tech Influences and Technical Background​
Nemi was playing World of Warcraft in 2005 but couldn’t afford the monthly subscription. So, Nemi wanted to figure out how to play this game that everyone was playing. He started looking into World of Warcraft private servers, which gave him his start in this whole industry. Nemi began learning how to create private servers for World of Warcraft and learned a lot from the community. Later, Nemi pursued a computer science degree and landed a job in security at the Department of Defense. From there, he wanted to combine his love for the gaming industry and security. So, he applied to gaming studios, got rejected by Riot Games, but was accepted into Blizzard Entertainment. And, ladies and gentlemen, the rest is history.

Nemi's Public Contributions​
⁠BlackHat 2018 Talk: Why So Spurious? How a Highly Error-Prone x86/x64 CPU "Feature" Can Be Abused to Achieve Local Privilege Escalation on Many Operating Systems⁠⁠Systems and methods for anti-cheat detection Patent⁠⁠Nemis blog about general reverse engineering, security research, Windows internals, and system architecture.⁠
What led the creation of Byfron Technologies?​
After Vanguard shipped its anti-cheat, Nemi began contemplating what was next for him and how he could make a bigger impact in the gaming industry. Together with his co-founder at the time, Clint, they started brainstorming. Before leaving Riot, they pitched Riot's C-level executives the idea of productizing Riot's internal anti-cheat systems for the broader gaming industry. Unfortunately, their pitch was rejected. As a result, Nemi decided to leave and started Byfron, an anti-cheat company aimed at providing tools to the gaming industry. Byfron lasted for only about a year before being acquired by Roblox. During that time, they created Hyperion, a user-mode binary hardening tool designed to make reverse engineering games, detecting code injection, and other forms of tampering significantly more challenging.

The Future of Anticheat
​As discussed during the episode, Nemi says the future of anti-cheat will involve combining multiple layers, being platform-specific, and placing a significant focus on user trust. Any modern anti-cheat solution will need to be focused on prevention, detection, and deterrence. Kernel-mode anti-cheats are becoming increasingly common. Additionally, hardware based solutions like ⁠TPM ⁠are expected to grow in importance, potentially leading to queue segregation, where players with stronger security setups are placed in trusted environments.

Roblox Anti-Cheat Engineer and Ex-Founder of Hyperion Anti-Cheat Explains It All

In this first video episode, we start by exploring the history of the Back.Engineering team, how they met and got started. Then the real talk begins, as we dive into topics like binary rewriting, obfuscation, deobfuscation, compilers, and mixed boolean arithmetic. We also discuss the approach the team took to build CodeDefender, the limitations of existing tools on the market such as VMProtect, and how their solution differs. Watch this episode to learn about all the cool stuff you won’t typically find properly documented online!

Who is the Back.Engineering team?​The ⁠Back.Engineering⁠ team specializes in reverse engineering, tool development, software de obfuscation, and obfuscation techniques. They built CodeDefender, a solution that protects software against tampering, exploitation, and reverse engineering while preserving stability, performance, and compatibility with modern Windows security mechanisms.

The team:
⁠Christopher Drumm⁠ – CEO & Founder⁠Bas Zweers⁠ – Compiler Engineer⁠James McGowan⁠ – Security Researcher (focused on obfuscation)


What is CodeDefender​
CodeDefender is a SaaS offering by the ⁠Back.Engineering⁠ team that provides protection against tampering, exploitation, and reverse engineering, while also ensuring stability, performance, and compatibility with modern Windows security mechanisms. Stability is core to CodeDefender's philosophy. 


Some of CodeDefender's notable features 
include mathematically robust obfuscation (which we discussed in the episode ), program hardening, and anti-tamper capabilities such as page encryption, API tampering detection, and byte patching prevention. Finally, CodeDefender offers binary diversification, allowing it to randomize the binary, thwart signature detection, automatically encrypt data, and obfuscate imports for enhanced security.

Technical Capabilities of CodeDefender
​Chris, Bas, and James are really at the top of their game. They have implemented so many capabilities into CodeDefender like novel code coverage techniques, and proper exception handling enables seamless use of try/except blocks, eliminating the need for manual marking in your code. Most software protectors on the market struggle to support Control flow Enforcement Technology (CET), with many sacrificing SEH support. Unlike most other software protectors, they proudly support Control Flow Guard (CFG) to enhance your application's security. They have also built advanced obfuscation techniques that fully support Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG). We have discussed lots of the technical details in our episode!

REVERSE ENGINEERING (VOL. ONE)

Reverse Engineering (Vol. One)' is a selection of some of James Cook's favourite and most influential electronic/new wave artists from the late 70s early 80s. 
The phrase 'Reverse Engineering' is a scientific term about taking advanced technology that is beyond one's own understanding, taking it apart, discovering how it works, then creating your own new version from the knowledge.
That is exactly what James Cook is attempting with each song of this covers series: Creating an 'alien twin' of the original version by dissecting and redesigning the original.

'Reverse Engineering (vol. one)' will also be accompanied by three music videos. The first of which was 'Treason' released on April 9th. The next video, 'Ashes to Ashes', is set to be released in mid June.

All songs of this covers series will be available as free downloads and released prior to James Cook's second studio album which is planned for release at the end of 2013.

Singer/Songwriter/Producer James Cook made 3 albums between 2004/2008 with pioneering London electro guitar band NEMO. He then moved to Berlin and made The Dollhouse' (2010), a chamber pop album with violinist/arranger Anne-Marie Kirby. (Nb. 2025 Dollhouse II is released)
In 2012, he released his debut solo album 'Arts and Sciences'. An instant pop classic featuring strings, synths and guitars and James unique voice and songwriting. In 2013/2021, he released the covers albums 'Reverse Engineering, Vol One/Two'. His second solo album 'Adventures in Ausland' was released in November 2014, with a more ambitious 8 piece ensemble. 2016's ANTI LOVE SONGS saw James return to a more aggressive/guitar/synth sound. 2020 was the year for THE NEW NORMAL, his 9th studio album. A dreamier more electronic affair. After releasing 2 vinyl compilations in 2023 (JAMES NEMO/JAMES COOK vol one), James releases a darker, more experimental indie guitar album (his 5th solo full length), INSIDE OUT in September 2024.
