Starforce Information

[Tipstaff]

Nice, but 2 problems: Every drive mentioned is 2 years old, and the version describe here, is version 1. With version 3 (now in use, with version 4 on the way) the program uses a device driver-level copy protection. You can read the interview FiringSquad had with one of the guys behind Starforce here:

Note: Whenever they talk about Starforce they are talking about version 3.

What they don't mention is the other "things" Starforce 3 uses as part of it's protection (such as hidden code buried within the game).

You can also read up on Starforce from their own mouths.

Pay attention to the sections that say "... is the first system that offers a multi-level and fully-functional protection, which encrypts not only the executable files, but also non-executable files included in the application." Hence the difficulty in cracking games protected by this SOAB.

If you check the web some more you will find even more detailed info on SF3. There are a more checks this thing does, and I would fill this entire page linking or posting that info.
