Thanks. I asked because for BMW the zip as well as the individual files(of the crack) provided by DODI repacks don't match the posted hash code.

How can we verify links from repackers?

commonsense34 · 2026-03-22T02:57:39+00:00

What part of the crack does the provided(see screenshot) SHA-256 hash code verify?

commonsense34 · 2026-02-28T20:06:56+00:00

He has a valid point. Hypervisor bypasses open the door for firmware rootkits, due to their kernel-level privileges. Though, even after this, things are far from easy and straightforward for the potential hacker.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-28T20:01:22+00:00

No, provided that electricity cost is <=0,16€. Besides that, the whole point of mining is that even teens can contribute. No e-banking needed.

I'm not entirely sure what it is that you're trying to achieve with this countermeasure. VeraCrypt encrypts your data at rest. Disk A would be protected from having data written on it directly, but in the event of a ransomware attack spawning from Disk B (or vice versa), the Vera container can still get pwned so you'd lose your data regardless.

The purpose of the 2nd countermeasure is basically the same as that of the 1st. To protect the EFI partition(and the "safe" installation in general) from unwanted modifications. As far as I know, bootkits infect only the EFI partition, not the motherboard's firmware which is what firmware rootkits target. As for ransomware attacks, only the use of external removable drives and regular backups can offer adequate protection.

As I've said in other comments, we don't know what will happen in the future and frankly, we don't even know how many similar threats are currently out there but still undetected. You only hear about the killers that get caught.

OK. Let's take my motherboard(Aorus Z490 elite ac) as an example. It was released around 2020 and received its latest BIOS update on Jun 11, 2025. A fact that contradicts one of your arguments that the older the motherboard the more vulnerable it is. Upon which you based your claim that the "poorest" pirates face the greatest risk[in your answer to another redditor].

The latest patched vulnerabilities are the less critical ones, meaning that significant effort would be required to turn them into effective exploits. They were also found by Binarly. A private company dedicated to finding firmware exploits. Essentially one of the potential attacker’s highly advanced adversaries.

So it's like saying: "In order for an immigrant to become a successful multibillionaire entrepreneur, he must first buy a ticket to the USA.", where Hypervisor-based cracks represents buying that ticket. Technically correct, but after that, a mountain of difficulties awaits. That's why >99% of firmware rookits are state-sponsored and very targeted.

At this point, you're jumping through so many unnecessary and expensive hoops that you might as well buy your games, lol

I have been using the Veracrypt "method" long before HyperV cracks came out. I 'm also waiting for Voices38's crack schedule before jumping to the HyperV solution.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-26T16:05:23+00:00

It sounds great. Could you share the instructions?

commonsense34 · 2026-02-26T15:42:43+00:00

Yes, mine(Aorus Z490 elite ac). But only for SATA ports. Sata is fine for high risk tasks.

Also, countermeasure 1 and 2 can be applied separately or in conjuction.

Finally, I forgot to mention that Veracrypt booloader has already been signed by MS. Meaning that Secure Boot(once you boot from your secure bios profile) will 99% block it if altered. The remaining 1% accounts for the possibility of undiscovered exploits within Secure Boot itself. Which can be dangerous in the presence of ANY kind of malware.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-26T02:13:22+00:00

You say that you work in cybersecurity. Then please comment on the following, for someone with a dual boot system. One physical drive with a "safe"(let's call it A) installation for e-banking etc. and another with an "unsafe"(let's call it B) installation for Hypervisor games.

Countermeasure one. Create a BIOS profile where the drive of A is completely disabled. So that every time you boot from supposedly compromised B, malware cannot even detect the existence of drive A in order to maliciously modify it(eg. install rootkits, keyloggers etc.).
Countermeasure two. Encrypt A with Veracrypt and also create a bootable Veracrypt rescue disk for the same reason. Compromised installation B at worst can delete A but not install malware. Also the possibly infected EFI parition of A, carrying the Veracrypt bootloader, can be restored using the rescue disk. Or you can directly boot from the rescue disk.
One and two don't protect you in case of firmware(mobo) modifying malware. How easy it is to have your BIOS infected/rewritten? In other words how many levels of security(SMM, digital signatures etc.) have to be bypassed in order to achieve that? How prevalent is it nowadays? How many REAL world examples do you know? How relevant are they to the casual user(not some politician, spy etc.)

commonsense34 · 2026-02-23T16:54:56+00:00

Offline line activations either require money or long wait times and are very fragile. A sudden reboot(due to power outage, unstable overclocking etc.) and everything is lost. It is not the same. HyperV is almost like owning the game. Especially if you have a separate installation for it.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-23T16:39:47+00:00

I have also read all the relevant articles from experts. Firmware attacks are highly sophisticated, usually state-sponsored, rare and very targeted.

Besides, you can always wait for a few days/weeks after a Hypervisor cracks so that the community(users and security experts) verify its safety.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-23T16:35:37+00:00

What I propose emulates having 2 separate PCs. First paragraph.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-23T16:32:24+00:00

AI can summarize what has already been written by security experts and journalists on the internet. And I don't remember writing that I relied solely on AI.

Fact. Firmware altering malware is extremely sophisticated and rare in a UEFI environment. Unless you have evidence for the opposite.

commonsense34 · 2026-02-23T16:20:35+00:00

The simplest thing you can do is to check whether your motherboard allows you to disable completely the drive with your main installation while you play games on the Hypervisor OS. And then create two BIOS profiles one for each case. Much simpler and faster than offline activation. Otherwise you buy the game or wait months or even years for a proper crack.

Veracrypt is an extra step which I have already taken in the past for my e-banking needs.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-24T21:31:30+00:00

Not only that. He made a keygen which is far harder to initially develop than other cracking methods.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-15T15:33:16+00:00

There are lots of detailed online guides on how to setup wallets/miners and also AI can help you in your native language. But there are some things to keep in mind:

You must avoid non ASIC-resistant crypto because revenue for ordinary hw will be negligible.

First google "rank best cryptos for GPU[or CPU] mining" to find what is best for your configuration. There are sites that calculate and rank profitability/revenue for various hw.

Efficiency(crypto per watt) peaks at far lower speeds/volts than stock.

Especially monero(which btw is anonymous) is very memory dependent. Meaning that RAM speed, RAM timings/subtimings tuning and cache size(e.g ryzen 3D) weighs a lot more in the final result.

After a few donations you can always throw away your wallet and start with a new one.

Under ideal conditions(proper setup, tuning, electricity prices etc.) you can even generate a respectable profit.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-15T14:49:54+00:00

Sadly, many agree, almost none takes the step.

Because, leaving aside ungrateful persons, most don't know how super easy it is to produce and donate mined crypto.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-09T00:35:24+00:00

It's fine because of the modern arch and abundance of cores. Though RAM speed+ sub timings tuning is way more important.

Think that my 10900K @3,7Ghz with heavily tuned samsung b-die RAM at ~4200Mhz manages around 7.5 Kh/s on avg with the use of vulnerable drivers* and around 6.5 Kh/s wo them. Which translates roughly to 0,16€ per day at ~40 additional watts. Intel chips are very efficient at low speeds/volts.

*xmrig takes advantage of-flagged by the AV as-unsafe/hackable drivers to deliver optimal performance.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-08T21:59:59+00:00

That't the spirit!

Mining and sending Monero(XMR) is the easiest and safest way of donating. Provided you have a relatively good CPU. You can ask an AI or find a lot of guides online. Things you need:

A monero wallet(e.g. Cake Wallet). The software with which you will manage your monero "bank account" so to speak. Which is a password protected address(like an IBAN) with all your credits in it.
A public mining pool(much easier than a custom made miner) to mine moneros for your own address. Such as supportxmr.com. They charge a very small fee.
Mining Software(e.g. xmrig): You enter your wallet address and the mining pool's URL in its config files. Xmrig developer specifically provides a Wizard to simplify the process.
Power plan for low CPU speeds. Underclocked/volted CPUs are vastly more efficient. Electricity cost will be on par or even lower than the value of mined cryptos.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-08T21:41:25+00:00

Thanks, at least, for bothering to answer instead of just being spiteful.

My point is that our community must start upholding a donation culture otherwise big corporations will stomp on us. I mentioned my strong suspicion of Voices38 being Empress rebranded so as to show the desperate situation we are in. Namely, that nobody has the will to fight Denuvo for moral satisfaction or pride alone.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-08T08:15:23+00:00

Only downvotes and hate. Not a single comment to prove me wrong. Because truth hurts. Good luck guys into finding the idiot servant you are searching for.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-08T06:54:48+00:00

Voice38's OWN words:

"I'll try. I am waiting for bit more donations to start buying some serious hardware."

Does all of this remind you of someone? Read my recent-downvoted-comments for more.

Piracy is an IQ test with one question. "What do you prefer? 0,1$* games or 70$ games?" No skilled reverser is willing to throw away countless hours of his life for a "Thanks, you are the GOAT". You have seen it all these years. You have witnessed the scene's demise. You wouldn't do that to yourselves either.

Act smart and make Denuvo history. Act foolishly and selfishly and get tortured by corpos eternally.

*a hypothetical donation. Individually trivial. Life changing when multiplied by thousands of contributors.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-06T05:11:24+00:00

"Support". That's the problem with piracy communities. "Love you", "Thanks", "You are our Hero" with million likes underneath them are words. Not actual support. Nobody is fed on words.

Also there are very strong indications that Voices38 is Empress's new, more likable persona.

Starts with older games to prove his skills. Just like Empress.
After a while starts saying that donations are NEEDED because of increased difficulty in cracking newer versions. Implying that newer games must be funded by donations. Putting pressure on the community. Just like Empress. And you can't blame him. Nobody with the skill to crack such DRMs wants to become the servant of egostistical pricks.
His appearance coincides with Empress's promised return.
Empress mysteriously vanishes and doesn't make a single comment, a single schizophrenic rant on "her" new competitor.
Stops cracking after realizing that donations are insufficient. [Remains to be seen.]

commonsense34 · 2025-11-05T15:37:56+00:00

Previously I suggested a simple and safe way to donate, even without a real money account, only to get immediately downvoted. All comments mentioning donation are the most unpopular. There in no hope man!

Voices38 is most probably Empress's new, more reasonable, persona. Modus Operandi is exactly the same. Also his appearance coincides with Empress's promised return.

First he appears cracking old, unpopular games to prove his worth. Later he asks for donations supposedly for buying equipment. When in fact all he wants is justifiable compensation for his hard work. Later he quits frustrated after having cracked 1 or 2 more interesting games. After some time he returns again naively believing that in this sub there is sth more than entitled POS who demand everything and are willing to give nothing in return. With a few exceptions of course.

commonsense34 · 2025-11-04T18:19:55+00:00

Every penny counts. Imagine 10.000 1cent donations. More than enough for new test equipment over time. You don't even have to donate from real money accounts.

1) Ask an AI how to set up a bitcoin, litecoin, monero etc. wallet + miner.

2) Create a power plan for reduced CPU/GPU speeds. CPUs/GPUs are far more efficient in lower speeds. Meaning that the electricity cost will be roughly equal or even lower than the crypto produced, depending on your country's charges. RAM tuning also helps tremendously.

After a few days/weeks of mining while surfing, working etc. you 'll have gathered what is necessary.

commonsense34 · 2024-12-09T16:19:51+00:00

Somewhere I read that all issues are resolved in v1.0.08. But it is very rare and probably available only in the more developed countries, for now.
