This is beautiful, but the real takeaway should be that even proprietary software you only have binaries for is still mutable. The computer runs the code you want it to run. We always need to maintain that and prevent scenarios where general purpose computers stop being the default.

We were always doing this kind of thing on these platforms. This is how we used to hack copy protection out of games.

Stepping through, line by line, editing the code and adding JMPs to get around the copy protection code after loading the magic numbers into the register...

Happy, happy times.
