Almost 8 years since #PokémonGo launched and took the world by storm, it's time to tell the story of how I broke its anti-cheating mechanism together with a group of fellow hackers, all just to catch some new Pokémon

Part 1 is live on #TalTechTreks:

After wrapping up yet another tech project last summer, I decided to document my experiences in writing. The thought blossomed, and, before I knew it, it ended up being a comprehensive blog post about the endeavor.

Having long admired the blog posts of many individuals in the infosec community, I always had the itch to share some of my own insights. So with the dawn of a new year, I'm embarking on a personal blogging journey, share my tech "treks" - the various projects I've undertaken over the past few years. Perhaps, some will include actual insights :)

In the inaugural post, I delve into the process of reverse engineering a game for loot and plunder: https://talsk.github.io/2023/12/31/Savefile-Manipulating-in-Windward.html

I hope you enjoy the read! #TalTechTreks (https://talsk.github.io) 🚀

For those interested in the technical aspects, the blog is hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) and built with Jekyll (a web server package for blogging in Ruby - https://jekyllrb.com/). The current theme is a personally customized adaptation of beautiful-jekyll (https://beautifuljekyll.com/).
