There is a high-end hardware component worth $5,000+ that I became aware of recently through another member. I looked into it, and it appears to be made by a Chinese group. Their Discord has relatively few members and the members communicating in English be having issues.
That screenshot doesn't say enough on its own but it definitely gives the impression that even though you're paying $5,600 to be exact, you aren't necessarily getting the high-end luxury experience you'd expect for that price.
Anyway, I started looking into it.
It's called "Heino V2":
That's what it looks like.
Keep in mind, this isn't a traditional DMA setup. It uses a network adapter to transfer memory, but that's irrelevant to the technical discussion here. The main difference is how the hardware presents its identity to the PC.
AI SHORTENED
Traditional DMA:
The DMA firmware emulates the identity of another PCIe device, including its VID/DID/class, so the host sees it as the target hardware.
Heino V2 / MITM:
The real PCIe device remains behind a transparent MITM layer. The original hardware identity stays intact, so the host sees the actual device rather than an emulated identity. In short: Traditional DMA = emulated device identity.
Heino V2 = real device identity through a MITM layer.
Now let's look at this image because there's quite a lot to unpack.
In the background you can see several things associated with common hardware-based cheating setups. There's a Captain DMA card another white DMA card that I can't identify mini boards such as Raspberry Pis and Arduinos and even soldering cables.
I don't think those objects were randomly placed on the wall. They appear to have been deliberately included. Essentially they're saying:
"Yeah, we know what people are using."
They even included the soldering equipment which could be a reference to people modifying and working on this type of hardware themselves.
Then to the right of the DMA kits and mini boards you have the Riot-red screens. The positioning almost seems symbolic: DMA hardware and Arduino-style devices on one side leading towards the Riot ban screens on the other.
Obviously we can't know whether that symbolism was intentional but considering the context of the post it certainly looks like bit of fuckery. BUT the whole timing of this is fucked. What has RIOT been targetting the last couple dates? Colourbots and DMA. (the items shown on the wall)
now as i just said, theyve been after colourbots and DMA. im sure you guys know this already as the scene is dying and its just more and more and more trashy shitty products being resold.
The ones on the wall are the conquered ones. then the bottom right is the one they currently working on. a way to DT it. Again. maybe symbolic that they are working on it now.
Now in this photo it's the same setup. They're talking about anti-cheat and everything surrounding it but if you look towards the bottom right guess what you can see...
Yep.
The $5,600 "DMA" kit that's marketed as being one of the best of the best.
This isn't some random insider engineer taking a photo in their spare time. Based on the equipment branding and context of the post this appears to be connected to Riot's anti-cheat loser bum team
And this was posted on the official Riot Games X account.
I obviously can't say with certainty who specifically owns or operates the hardware shown but the fact that it is sitting there in an official Riot post is pretty fucked up on its own. Shows how far riots hands can go.
To top it off, the Heino team themselves publicly advertised their product being posted next to what appears to be a Riot employee almost playing it off like:
"Haha, look at us. We have an insider. We're cool."
Whether that's actually what they're implying is another question but the whole sitz is pretty interesting.
What this does show at the very least is how seriously Riot takes anti-cheat research.
We're talking about a $5,600 piece of hardware according to Heino's website, and they claim that only around 300 people have one. Imagine the level of resources that can potentially be involved when a company like Riot is investigating hardware based cheating and anti-cheat detection.
anyway. Be safe out there. Legit nothing public is safe.
