    If you think that’s scary wait til you hear about what it’s circumventing is capable of.

      On a technical level… Less.

      The exploit completely guts and opens up your system to pretty much anything. More access than even denovo.

      Use the included scripts (or manually do it yourself or make your own script) to re enable everything after you’re done playing the game and reboot the system. I’d also leave the router unplugged while you play. This denovo bypass seriously leaves your system super unsecured. Only get your games using this exploit from very trusted sources and don’t be lazy about enabling everything again and rebooting before plugging back into the internet.

        It’s pretty funny how things have turned out. 20 years ago (and now, really) we had rootkits as DRM, now we’ve got rootkits as game cracks.

      Nasty stuff I don’t want on my computer either. As an amateur, was really hoping the cracks would remove it, not circumvent it…
