Trapped In America

Yeah, Denuvo is just a pain to crack. It’s not UNcrackable, just a giant pain. Not to mention the methed out psycho that was cracking them has probably gone to rehab or something.

The executables are basically running in an encrypted VM and require multiple keys from Denuvo’s servers to decrypt and run (hence why they want SecureBoot on now). With breaking the VM being the biggest hurdle as they’re each running their own pseudo-machine-code that the VM translates during gameplay. Meaning you can’t just make a universal unpacker/decrypter/patcher type tool that spits raw x86 executables out for you. Nope, it all has to be done “by hand” now. At least from the translation step and on.

Umm…

Yet* :P

It’s ego and they actually think they can win against cheat makers. But like it or not, there will always be cheats, for the same reason there will always be cracked copies of their games.

If it runs, it can be cracked. -An old 0day saying

PS - Just let us have our own dedicated servers again. Then we can just banhammer a bitch, instead of relying on a stupid lobby vote system and a report button.

Don’t worry, they’re gonna eat themselves doing shit just like this. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

“AI” has it’s uses (medicine, engineering, etc.), but 99.99% of the snake oil they’re selling are just gimmicky cash grabs. Classic cases of Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Let them burn their money, I say. Fuck it. Just sit back and enjoy the fire.

That’s true, ICE & Co. are also all over Mexico right now because of the cartels. The whole border lock down and immigrant round-up thing is only half of their current force. And one of the big things they’ve been doing down there is monitoring/tapping their communication networks.

So yeah, never mind, probably not a good idea. If it was just for torrenting or something it’s probably fine, but beyond that I wouldn’t push it.

I’m honestly hoping for a repeat. Hopefully Microsoft goes down this time too, since they’re heavily into AI. Twitter, Meta, Google and Amazon too. It’s really just the worst of the worst.

It’s more about the latency since it’s right over the border (<30ms). It’s also a full 10Gbps so I can let family/friends use it and don’t have to worry if a few of them are pulling the full 1Gbps from home connection. Doubt I’m gonna be able to match both of those with a Chinese VPS :/

Honestly looking at Mexican datacenters right now. Some are basically the same distance, just in the opposite direction lol

Oh ffs… my best VPN server is in Canada lol

So Canada?

(They do have a history of going a little overboard with the homicidal stuff. But they’ve come a long way in the last few decades.)

Perfect for letting your buddies outside know when Tony’s wife comes to visit. Tony’s the guy you’ve been beefing with over your tater-tots every Tuesday btw. Oh hey, what’s this, his exact address too? Sweet!

You’re thinking of FreeDUMB, where you’re allowed to believe whatever you want. But Trump has to approve the position first (as stated) and it has to be the opposite of whatever the data/proof clearly shows. It’s like the Wish.com version of Freedom_TM, but that’s geared more toward Teaparty Gun Nuts and Libertarian Potheads.

Edit: Huge caveat I forgot about. Joe Rogan also has the ability to dictate FreeDUMB positions. So long as the guest making the claim (1) has no degrees and (2) they’re being suppressed by The Establishment. Also, Jamie has to be able to Google some random website that agrees with them in under 25 seconds.

It’s encryption has been broken for some time now, which leaves it vulnerable to some pretty serious security issues. On top of the obvious issue of people with the right know-how just listening to your calls and reading your texts, which you probably don’t want.

(It’s also how most cops/feds tap phones these days.)

I’ve actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say… a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.

I’d run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I’ve seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.

Fun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran’s internet infrastructure… for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.

I’m not a CISCO tech, so I don’t know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol
