@foone I reverse engineer malware, which I don’t exactly love because they have moved way past obvious checks based on one branch (as, of course, have some legitimate developers). It’s getting harder and harder. If more of those malware authors lived in different countries, they could easily get jobs making anti-piracy stuff. But now that I’m thinking of it as repeated endless software cracking…maybe this seems more fun??

@foone I’ve often thought about writing something like this, modern open implementations of analog video DRM. But is there any very specific public documentation about how exactly they worked, enough to properly reimplement them?

@foone you could also patch the DLL to just return true from that function immediately
