You do realise an "exploit" is a bypass that can be achieved without illegally modifying the software, right? The laws may prevent software modification, but variables within the program stack are free to be modified. How the software was designed to handle modifications to dynamic memory is another question altogether. This is summed up in the case of Lweis Galoob Toys vs Nintendo
