starforce 3.6 finally beat?

[qrpiech]

hey i just saw today on nforce.nl that one groups managed to crack a SF 3.6 protected game from ubisoft (rainbow six - lockdown). does this mean that finally someone found a proper way to defeat starforce and end this "drive-unplugging comedy"? maybe they'll cr..ush also other sf 3.6 protected games?

the drive unplugging comedy as you call it is related to using clone images, not cracked executables..

using a cracked executable obviously does not require you to disconnect ide drives etc..

using a clone will...

I can only say , that 3.5 is beaten :-)
IF you have image of 3.6 version than e-mail me

what i meant to say is - someone finally made a working .exe file for a starforce 3.6 protected game, which means that sf was defeated. it means that running a game from your own image (made from your original cd of course), which was impossible without unplugging the drives, can now be possible thx to such .exe files. this is the first ".exe-file" for ubisoft's sf3.6 game i've heard of. and it's good news i think

Than it only means that it was cracked one of the protected games , but it doesn`t means that it will works on other 3.6 protected games!
By the way do you know how the St works , when you not familiar i will discribe here (100 % legal description)

First the starforce read cd and check the sectors if they have a proper Angle
Second, after the collected data, starforce send it to interpritator, this interpritator cryp the data and send in the language which only ST virtual machine can understand , after all of this if the collected data was not right than ST virtual machine send command to abort the start of the programm

The only one question is , how to get to this virtual machine ? :-)

And as i know its allways new way to get there, so don`t await that sombedoy can produce cracks in 0 second for this protection :-)

Yeap but what do you do with updates to your game, i think its only temporal
solution, because in updates will be new version of protection so that hackers
must again repeat all higher described points.
The only one way to manage ST without any problems, is to try to create 100% backup, and of course its possible, just check this site during the week and you get your answers.

Is it just me, or is the deviance crack just a fixed demo exe?
