In high school and college (2005-07), I learned to modify the game Halo PC by talking to reverse-engineers online:

Field of View

I approached David Skotnicki (TocaEdit) who created a Field of View tool for Halo PC, allowing you to change the angle of the perspective projection used for rendering the game. He taught me the following things as a foundation:

  1. how to use TSearch and Cheat Engine to analyze the effects of in-game actions on locations in memory
  2. how to find locations in code which accessed its values
  3. how to re-route the game to use our custom code

Firefox about:config privacy settings

ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable. I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS Everywhere No longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".
