Could you build this?
Partial Setting a browser tab title or DOM manipulation is trivial, but researching and testing specific heuristic evasion vectors against kernel-level or ring-3 anti-cheat systems requires specialized reverse-engineering.
What it would actually take: The project demonstrates edge cases where commercial anti-cheat software (like Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, or BattlEye) inspects window titles or memory spaces of open browser processes. Building this requires reverse-engineering Windows process enumeration APIs, anti-cheat detection routines, and reproducing false-positive triggers safely. Deep knowledge of Windows internals, OS-level security hooks, and anti-cheat architecture is necessary.
