After Day 0 Hypervisor bypass, we now have Day 1 cracks. DRM has completely lost.

      Good.

      I feel like the whole “its a secret teehee” thing was always weird. Like denuvo can easily tell what changes you made (I’ve even thought about doing a bit comparison of some cracked games before but I’m critically lazy and don’t care about learning whats different that much). They know exactly what their software does. Surely they can figure out the general plan you’re using. Whatever process/tools/logic you’re using doesn’t matter as much as whatever hole you’re exploiting.

      Like I’m a bad programmer with very little graphical coding experience. I looked at zoo tycoon code like 6 months ago out of curiousity. Even I was able to figure out some of what they were doing to render animals. Same with looking at some old MMO’s code (I wanted to see how they were rendering their sprites and also rip them. They were doing some wild shit, and I had their (public) source.)

      I looked at bypassing some games patreon shit. I was able to follow SOME of it despite it being a cluster (and not wanting to do a full decomp/debug). Same with some of the helldivers work arounds.

      If I can figure out some of whats going on in like 2 hours while stoned, surely denuvo can figure out what you’re doing in a few weeks with a team or two. I understand not blabbing about it everywhere or very publically, but cmon. I’m 99% certain how was public knowledge, no one wanted to do it.

        In this cat and mouse game there will be a lot of obfuscation, so it’ll be way harder to read what’s going on, which is why a proper method takes this long to show up.
