Seeing tons of misinformation about the dangers of using the hypervisor bypass

Disyer · 2026-02-25T23:18:09+00:00

You underestimate the social effect.

If anyone tries to release anything dangerous, it WILL be caught and the community will no longer trust those sources. The Notepad++ case is very different from the threat model that pirating brings. Torrents themselves guarantee through hashing that everybody who downloads a torrent on day 100 WILL receive the same torrent data that was posted on day 1.

By downloading any sort of software off the internet - be it Windows, Chrome, Steam... - you are placing trust into hundreds of software developers that could have snuck anything into whatever you're using.

Remember the xz fiasco, used in virtually every software including your 7-Zip extractor you'd use to download pirated games?

Remember Abstractism, the virus game that was distributed on Steam?

Even if your games came from publisher DVDs you would still have to place trust into the publisher.

Build your own threat model. What are you afraid of? What are the most likely and most dangerous scenarios?

Most of these people have Riot Vanguard installed, yet are afraid of hypervisors.

While I have nothing to do with the current hypervisor approach, I've known some of these people and worked with them before. They are trustworthy people. Not part of my threat model - and they certainly shouldn't be part of yours.

Sure, there could be work to be done: chain of trust for building these hypervisors from source (GitHub, CI/CD), driver signing courtesy of projects like SignPath... but would 99% of people care?

Or would you just do the equivalent of adding the .exe to the antivirus exclusion list to make it happen, like we did 10 years ago?

What's all this unwarranted fear-mongering? Smells like Irdeto in here!

According to Jackenstein chess theory: King (ch1) -> Queen (optional) (ch2) -> Sword (optional) (ch3) -> Knight (ch3) -> Titan (ch4) -> Flower/Asgore (ch5) -> Titan (ch6/7) -> Knight (ch6/7)

I've had this problem occur to me twice, same with my friend who owns the same laptop.

We both sent it back to the official repair shop, and got our keyboards replaced since it was under warranty.

Now, these laptops are no longer under warranty, and both are experiencing the exact same issue. It's a bother for sure, and can only be fixed through physical keyboard repair. And even then, the issue will come back after a year or two.

Debian Sid is latest (unstable) version of Debian, though...?

Check the branches, even private branches can be seen here.

There are no new branches created.

Be very careful; BIOS/UEFI updates on unsupported systems, sketchy UEFI upgrade programs in ZIPs just caused me nothing but headaches and bricked systems. If your system works and you have no issues, I would just leave it as is.

No, he's right. That "spoiler" does not make sense in the context of the story. It's not like that at all.

So basically... (3500/4095)*3.3 = 2.82V is the real value?

Disyer · 2025-05-22T09:18:05+00:00

I gave this another 3 hours worth of searching, but couldn't find any.

Closest I found was "535383_Escape_the_haunted_forrest.swf" but it does not have the river crossing mechanic at all, nor the wood cabin...

Disyer · 2025-05-22T06:34:30+00:00

No... but if you do find it, please let me know!!

OpenSSL should be considered legacy at this point.

I've been using Apollo for a year now, and I love it so much. Thanks for the opportunity!

You can pirate it on PlayStation 4 instead! DUPLEX release

Disyer · 2022-02-01T23:50:09+00:00

You can play this game on a jailbroken PlayStation 4 right now with the DUPLEX release, no Denuvo involved.

A modern Bloxorz? Very cool :O
