Against the rules: generally yes
Illegality: according to the ToS, probably
Chances of being banned: depends
Chances of being sued: almost zero (note: almost)

Can you explain why the chance is almost 0 and not just 0?

Because nothing in life is definite.

For example: if he screws up the packets, the admins of the game might interpret them as attacks on the server. Serious shit might follow.

Any smart person would proxy before fucking with the server's data.

um, no.


do you really think they would spend money trying to fuck over some 13 year old for breaking the TOS? you'd get banned, period, that's it, ever.

you'd have to do some serious fucking shit for anything drastic to even be considered, if even.

I actually don't think it's illegal, but they certainly don't want you to do it and will ban you. It's sort of in the grey area.

this is how i understand this:

memory editing = "damaging" your own computer.


filtering/sending packets = "damaging" somebody else's computer (in most cases server)



so... when you memory edit, you're messing with your computer, right? and who said you can't mess with your hardware?

or am I wrong?

Editing the correct memory range and packets don't necessarily harm computers.
