Main Categories

1. Game Development: Engines, renderers, networking, physics
2. Graphics APIs: DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan hooks and tools
3. Cheat/Hacking: Memory manipulation, injection, bypasses
4. Anti-Cheat: Protection systems, detection methods
5. Reverse Engineering: Debuggers, disassemblers, analysis tools
6. Windows Kernel: Drivers, callbacks, security features
7. Web3 Security: Blockchain, smart contracts, DeFi

Contributing Guidelines

1. Check for duplicates before adding new resources
2. Verify links are working and point to original repos
3. Add descriptions that clearly explain the resource’s purpose
4. Place in correct category based on primary functionality
5. Follow existing format for consistency

Quality Criteria

• Resource should be actively maintained or historically significant
• Should provide unique value not covered by existing entries
• Prefer original repos over forks unless fork adds significant value
• Include language/platform tags when helpful (e.g., [Rust], [Unity])
