New way to defeat starforce 3.6

[ApocalypseNow]

This is just logical suggestion. Facts:

• games use 3/4 SF drivers for copy protection when they start
• when they start, they replace all the registry values of driver services in HKEY_LOKCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ & all the sf driver files in sys32

So, 2 tactics:

• try to deny permissions 4 these files & reg values
• some bruteforcing prog to replace the driver files & their reg values every couple of seconds or less

& ur asking "replace with what"?! I say replace reg path with path to sfdrvxx.sys with path to sfcure01.sys & sf driver sys files crap with sfcure01.sys (renamed to their name, of course!)

This is just theoreticising, dunno does it work, so anyone can make bruteforcer/ hasn't got so complicated user, group & permission structure, should try this and post the results here

SF pretty much hooks into every necessary stuff it needs and doing some really funny stuff to prevent you from tampering with its drivers. Therefore, it's not an easy task, but it can be done
