Would you or can you get sued if you sell a hack for ex: GunBound?

Sure its illegal but more than likely nothing will happen.

I created a website and sold Last Chaos hacks for money back in the day....

Im hesitating to sell my Memory Engine (my own memory scanner I coded from scratch) I am remembering what happened to Moose for his SEX Aimbot.

Game specific hacks are illegal, hacking tools such as Cheat Engine, which is not at all game specific is legal (yes, DB could take money for CE, but luckily he don't Very Happy

)

afaik no real action can be taken against you. as long as you don't encroach in their IP somehow or some way, i don't see how they could do anything.

against the terms of service to use is another story

@Dark Byte That changes everything, I dont want a email be sent to me like that, btw, if they did want to sue they need to send you a lease. Becareful dude. I guess I might not sell my memory engine.

Law system is just too retarded - fact. This has been proven many times. Even more true when it comes to virtual world, yes they can sue if they want, for ANYTHING. The important part is whether they can prove it to be illegal. To discuss legality of something like cheat engine that operates on such technical level requires professionals with knowledge and common sense not a bunch of noobs that feel like gods if they can use email, facebook and M$ word. A few thoughts: Is it legal to read public book? is conceptually equal to scanning memory. Patching software might seem illegal but what if you write YOUR software that reads memory without any kind of modifications to client and then write a bot that just imitates user behavior? Blizzard sued wow glider and won lol so yeah, no idea what kind of implementation it employs though.

SO what do you guys think, should I give it a go and sell my memory scanner without worries of getting messages from anti-hacking software companies and game companies telling me to stop?
