SpeedRunners: The Hackers of the Gaming World - Nunudzai Mrewa

Speedrunning, the art of completing games with incredible speed, has evolved into more than a gaming feat—it's a showcase of ingenuity, creativity, and technical prowess. This talk delves into the fascinating world of speedrunners, drawing parallels between their methodologies and those of cybersecurity professionals, while highlighting the significant impact on game development and software security. In this talk, we'll dive into the fascinating world of speedrunners and uncover the parallels between their methodologies and the techniques used by cybersecurity professionals. We'll explore how speedrunners discover and exploit glitches in games through a combination of accident, experimentation, and deep code analysis - skills that mirror the vulnerability hunting process in software security. By understanding the speedrunner's approach, we'll gain insights into the creative, persistent, and collaborative nature of finding and leveraging system vulnerabilities. This talk will not only fascinate gaming enthusiasts, but also illuminate the mindset of those who push the boundaries of what's possible in both the virtual and digital realms. ========================================================= About the speaker: Nunudzai Mrewa Cybersecurity professional with a knack for securing systems—and breaking them (ethically, of course).
