After some time without posting on my blog, I decided to get back to it — and my first post after the break is about the history of video game security! There are also some great stories along the way, like Atari reverse-engineering Nintendo’s lockout system, or how simply changing the name of Link's horse became an attack vector on the Nintendo Wii. I had a lot of fun researching and writing this article, and I learned a lot in the process. I hope you enjoy it too!

Thanks for such an interesting read. Would be awesome to get sort of a "follow up" about modern sophisticated digital solutions we have now (denuvo and so on)

The cat and mouse between console makers and hackers is one of the more honest stories in tech. Both sides kept making each other better.

interesting video I was seeing the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTFn4UZsA5U
