It takes a radical new ║ ║ approach to finding the patch locations in the target program's ║ ║ memory. It actually ANALYSES the program heuristically. ║ ║ ║ ║ (i.e., "Hey SpySoft, you guys made SmartSpy... now meet SmartCrack! 4;)║ ║ ║ ║ This patchloader bypasses the Shrinker .exe compression that SpySoft ║ ║ applied to GameSpy.exe, entirely. In fact, it does not require ║ ║ that GameSpy.exe is compressed at all, but doesn't care if it is, ║ ║ or even with what it is. ║ ║ ║ ║ Executable compression is no longer any hinderance to effective ║ ║ cracking. Software authors should now be afraid to use .exe ║ ║ compression, as doing so can easily result in me adapting OmegaCrack ║ ║ for THEIR product(s) as well, and giving them the headache of having ║ ║ to try and crack my OmegaCrack patchloader to figure out how to stop ║ ║ it from cracking future versions of their product(s) automatically ║ ║ (as SpySoft must do now). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ This patchloader represents MASSIVE work on my part, not just to ║ ║ crack GameSpy, but to make ALL forms of software protection ║ ║ obsolete. Basically, I deal with software protection like anti-virus ║ ║ authors deal with computer viruses. Eventually everything will be ║ ║ OmegaCracked, and most software authors are too dumb to figure out ║ ║ how to stop the heuristic in-memory patching technology. They'll ║ ║ try to change and recompile their programs hundreds of times, but ║ ║ eventually they'll just give up. ║ ║ ║ ║ I find it amazing, and annoying, that some people (like those in MFD)║ ║ don't have any respect for my work, and perhaps don't even ║ ║ understand what I'm trying to do. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ I was going to reply to MFD regarding their misrepresentation of ║ ║ their patchloader for GameSpy v2.18r and the subsequent nuking of my ║ ║ patchloader by misguided nukers on a few sites. Then I decided to ║ ║ focus on improving my technology instead (rather than wasting time). ║ ║ ║ ║ My response to MFD can be summarized in four points: ║ ║ --------------------------------------------------- ║ ║ 1. Their patchloader is nothing (one or two dozen lines of code) ║ ║ 2. It doesn't work in Windows NT (despite the claim in their .nfo) ║ ║ 3. The same result could be achieved with a tiny MS-DOS patcher, since ║ ║ all they wanted was to patch a couple of locations in GameSpy. ║ ║ (see Mojo's method of cracking GameSpy, if you doubt this is ║ ║ possible). ║ ║ 4. MFD's .nfo was very rude. Apparently they had a severe case of ║ ║ patchloader envy, and felt they had to defame me to bolster their ║ ║ own reputation. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Okay, that's done. Now I decided to reduce the size of my .nfo ║ ║ at the recommendation of people (in MFD) who release a 22016-byte ║ ║ patchloader to do the work of a .com file smaller than 100 byt es. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Here we go: ║ ║ ~~~~~~~~~~ ║ ║ ...another version of the *MUST HAVE* util for every ║ ║ multi-player game addict... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ I've been busy doing major design changes to my code. I am still ║ ║ improving the Windows NT support, it does not work yet, but I made ║ ║ certain portions of the code NT compatible. ║ ║ ║ ║ Due to Windows NT code requirements, the patchloader is now split ║ ║ into two files -- MEMPATCH.EXE and MEMPATCH.DLL ║ ║ ║ ║ It works perfectly in Windows 95/98, and it will work in Windows N T ║ ║ as soon as I figure out how to dump GameSpy's memory properly in ║ ║ NT. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway... ║ ║ ║ ║ Now I'm going to start distinguishing between the Registered and ║ ║ Shareware versions of GameSpy ... by appending either 'r' or ' s' ║ ║ to the version number. This is necessary in order to insure that ║ ║ my patchloader will work on EVERY version of GameSpy... that means, ║ ║ someone can grab my patchloader, and use it right away, no matter ║ ║ what version of GameSpy they're using. ║ ║ ║ ║ Versions of GameSpy OmegaCrack is compatible* with: ║ ║ -------------------------------------------------- ║ ║ GameSpy v1.01 ║ ║ GameSpy v1.52s ║ ║ GameSpy v2.0 beta 1 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.0 beta 2 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.0 beta 5 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.0 FINAL (Intel special edition) - not released ║ ║ GameSpy v2.01 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.02 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.02 with SiN support (v2.02s) ║ ║ GameSpy v2.03 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.04 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.05 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.06 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.06 shareware FINAL (not released, because it was ║ ║ functionally identical) ║ ║ GameSpy v2.07 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.08 ║ ║ GameSpy v2.10 (not released -- MoJo did it) ║ ║ GameSpy v2.12 (not released -- MoJo did it) ║ ║ GameSpy v2.13s ║ ║ GameSpy v2.16r ║ ║ GameSpy v2.16s ║ ║ GameSpy v2.17r ║ ║ GameSpy v2.17s ║ ║ GameSpy v2.18r ║ ║ GameSpy v2.18s ║ ║ Future versions should be supported automatically too... ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ * I haven't had time to actually test it on ALL the versions of GameSpy,║ ║ but I remember when (in what versions) the protection has changed, ║ ║ and I have insured that it is compatible with all the various ║ ║ GameSpy protections (server checks, nag screens, etc.) I have ║ ║ encountered in my experience with GameSpy (I have been cracking it ║ ║ since GameSpy v2.0 beta 1, which I released on 1998. 8;4.07). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ What is not fixed: ║ ║ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ║ ║ 1. MOTD (Message of the Day) ║ ║ 2. IRC chat feature ║ ║ 3. Message to SpySoft ║ ║ 4. Buddy lists cleared when switching from unregged to regged mode. ║ ║ ║ ║ Reasons: ║ ║ ~~~~~~~ ║ ║ 1. Do not choose MOTD from the Community menu in GameSpy while running ║ ║ in registered mode (with the server checks disabled), UNLESS you ║ ║ actually are using a REAL registration code. I removed the automatic║ ║ MOTD, but left the manual one in for the convenience of people who ║ ║ have real registration codes. If you use it with a fake registration║ ║ it will unregister GameSpy. Everyone may still use it in ║ ║ unregistered mode. ║ ║ 2. (sends your e-mail address, or 'gamespy@gamespy.com' to the IRC ║ ║ servers -- not a good idea... use mIRC instead!) ║ ║ 3. Do not send SpySoft e-mail via these options if you're running ║ ║ in registered mode with the fake registration info. ║ ║ 4. This has to do with the fact that we need to tell GameSpy that it's ║ ║ UNREGISTERED so we can enter the reg codes... I suppose I will ║ ║ eventually find out where the code is that clears the buddy lists, ║ ║ and fix this -- just not right now... I'm damn tired!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ None of the first three items impair the full functionality of GameSpy..║ ║ ...unless you count the IRC chat feature, but like I say, there are ║ ║ better IRC clients available. I may fix #4 later. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Some other notes: ║ ║ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ║ ║ Once OmegaCracked, protection is obsolete. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ GameSpy is so good, the authors' might as well not put any ║ ║ protection on it at all. ║ ║ ║ ║ When will SpySoft learn that the only way they could get me to stop ║ ║ removing their server checks (which constitute invasion of privacy), ║ ║ is if they employ me... and even then, they still wouldn't get me ║ ║ to help them write better protection (due to the futility of such ║ ║ an endeavor). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway, we'll continue to help SpySoft by promoting their cool ║ ║ software to the scene.. =] ║ ║ ║ ║ If you have some spare money, you may want to buy yourself a copy of ║ ║ GameSpy rather than waiting for our cracks.. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Installation Notes: ║ ║ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ║ ║ ║ ║ Distributed files: ║ ║ ----------------- ║ ║ mempatch.exe -- my patchloader's main .exe ║ ║ mempatch.dll -- DLL used by mempatch.exe (required) ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Instructions: ║ ║ ------------ ║ ║ Run some version of the installer... (from http://www.gamespy.com), ║ ║ and run it (if you didn't already). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Then: ║ ║ ---- ║ ║ Put the files in the same dir where you installed GameSpy.exe, ║ ║ or specify the path\filename on the commandline, or rename the ║ ║ original GameSpy.exe to GameSpy.e and then you can rename ║ ║ mempatch.exe to GameSpy.exe ... ║ ║ (this may be useful to interface with programs like GameLaunch) ║ ║ ║ ║ This removes ALL server checks and prevents ║ ║ SpySoft from finding out when you're using GameSpy. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Then run the patchloader, and register GameSpy with the following ║ ║ code: ║ ║ ║ ║ Name: <Any Name You Want> ║ ║ Email: gamespy@gamespy.com ║ ║ Serial: bscA-cea3-TQbT-f5S9 ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ***** NEW FEATURES ***** ║ ║ ║ ║ I've included an option to allow you to toggle between my normal ║ ║ registered mode (with the old serial and all server checks removed), ║ ║ and unregistered mode (with most unregistered limitations removed). ║ ║ ║ ║ That option can be toggled with the two radio-buttons on the ║ ║ main dialog of my patchloader. Simply click on the one you want. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ MFD: No, I did not steal your crap -- the search/replace technique ║ ║ is totally different, and designed to work on ALL VERSIONS ║ ║ of GameSpy. ║ ║ ║ ║ Also, because some people claim to be too lazy to copy and paste the ║ ║ registration info into GameSpy even ONCE in their lifetime, I've ║ ║ added code that does it for you automatically. ║ ║ ║ ║ ************************ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ If you do not see any master server tabs (on the left of the ║ ║ GameSpy window), first, be SURE you have at least one game defined ║ ║ (click on "GameSpy", "Games and Filters", and insure that at least ║ ║ one game is defined!) After that, insure that you have the newest ║ ║ Master Server List; go to "Tools", "GameSpy Updates", " ;Update Master ║ ║ Server List". ║ ║ ║ ║ If all else fails, you may come to our IRC channel and ask for help, ║ ║ or sue SpySoft for invasion of privacy. =] ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ BTW: REBELS is constantly recruiting high-quality crackers... if you ║ ║ believe you can benefit the group, please feel welcome to apply! ║ ║ ║ ║ Even if you're a busy (but talented) professional, REBELS is a ║ ║ great group to join (we won't pressure you to crack stuff on a ║ ║ daily basis, like some other groups).
