a new GameGuard key? You understand I crack that crap over ten years ago for l2j people... ? Also -- a friendly advise. Depend on protector (WinLicense, VMProtect, whatever..) for only protection of product, is death trap. at least we own vmp3.1 easy <3

No, I not hear of this. Hetzner love null route... is all I know

I create this, in 2011. Used with bot I also create (never release) L2 Enumeration Some will find useful, others will not understand. SDK for more new version, not free... (meaning, you pay - and enough for me to care) This is generated using the Unreal 2 engine, which is what Lineage II use. If you share elsewhere, give me credit; not pretend you make it. http://fyyre.ru/l2/ct2p3_sdk.rar

No need to buy ... here is the Freya from the retail that leak forever ago: http://fyyre.ru/l2/A87Z6E87ZA67Z8.rar script, ai.obj only.

It is me =) Thankfully I make account here at mxc long time ago (9 years I think!) .. I stop L2 near end of 2012. From that time, even now ... I work on other games (money) .. L2 is always my true passion. I am returning to it, so much change in the years I still adjusting, and in taking much new information. The thought of paying a clan to come to server for 2-3 weeks, speaks volumes. All of this leads me to wonder. Does lack of exclusivity add to the problem? While L2off seldom if ever leak, and keys to new versions held only by some secret squirrel Russian cartel.... for price tag more expensive than Bentley or new home (yet strangely enough, I have yet to see any non-retail server run say, Grand Crusade) On flip side, is L2J... is like water; click and install .. .server is running. Does not require the skill set of L2off (not count ones such as Sdw ((hi!)) .. then again, cycle of promises of new server, which has month long life span is not so wonderful... l2off, or l2j. Since Feb 29th to end of Jan 2016... I ran the most successful Forsaken World private server (Aria Forsaken World). Over time, average of 1k - 500 players. At the peak; monthly income was $10,000 - $12,000. Upon starting, I had competition .. however post 2014, not exist. I did have benefit of total exclusivity of content .. but also with development, near 99% uptime, and good reputation. Sometimes, I think make good server is not so difficult ... however, money can never be the only objective. It must be focus on player base. With FW Aria, my goal was to offer a legitimate replacement for retail... which I believe I accomplished. In 2017, I will either sound old (I 40 in 3 years, =(( ) .. or nostalgic. But I am still eager to learn and be apart of L2 again.

Why bother? Game so trivial, auto quest, auto all ...

Makes more sense *grin*

Hi Opal =) I remember you! Thank you for the kind words, I do appreciate them. You make valid point saying "bigger you are, the bigger target becomes". Yes, this is true... whether it is DDoS or randoms trying to exploit. Learned this lesson myself as well Sure you don't mean Aion? If I had one for Tera, not certain I remember it ;)

Sounds like someone had a bad experience with OVH. I will agree with two points you made: yes - support not the best. Game Server package, good for only one system. Then again, if want true pro and have money for it - use Softlayer.

I recommend OVH. Only if purchase the"Game server" systems. Pros: $179 decent system, I personally consider this cheap - given DDoS protection included. OVH api allow for fine tuning parameters and such. Also firewall you may configure on your own. I will go ahead and tell you now.... for high bandwidth attacks, hardware is required. While Softlayer is the best in regards to customization of unique infrastructure to suit your needs, they offer no mitigation of attacks. OVH is reasonable balance of decent hardware and excellent DDoS protection. Website, yes... use cloudflare, but use it correctly. Example, do not make links in website code that show your real IP address.

Hi l2-scripts! Thank you for the kind words, I plan to stay. I found the website of this 'company' and notice they claim support for a number of games .. WoW, L2, Aion and Perfect World (seeing PW on the list is very amusing ... for reasons I cannot detail).. anyways: Money, yes - I agree with you .. is always reason -- always. Ignorant server owners, in awe of bot maker with 10k+ month income who make non-stop updates, or corrupt creator of anti cheat pulling out driver because it is 'unknown' and sound impressive. Defense is always behind offense .. yet no one understand and want solution now, now now .. again, not reality. All of this, make me think of new things to do with free time -- I have special hatred of ring0 solutions for ring3 problems, perhaps some problems to give driver author. -Fyyre

SSDT hooks? =) wow, has been long time since I see this used. Not required for hooking ssdt .. somethink like this working fine .. of course require disable patchguard... PsActiveProcessHead = (PLIST_ENTRY)ADDBYTE(PsSiloContextPagedType, 8); void InsertProcessEntry( PEPROCESS pProcess ) { InsertTailList( PsActiveProcessHead, &pProcess->ActiveProcessLinks ); } void RemoveProcessEntry( PEPROCESS pProcess ) { RemoveEntryList( &pProcess->ActiveProcessLinks ); } for standard removal of process from eproces list .. regardless, can still detect. not sure if walking CSR_PROCESS and CSR_THREAD (csrss.exe) still working .. but is virtually impossible to safely remove process from this list, without making system unstable =)

Yes, security via obscurity is no security at all (I work in Info Sec..) that being said -- what I wrote above, still is valid. If you would like to create an open source solution for an anti cheat and prove me wrong, by all menas...

was quite funny talking while you did this. zRanger ffs, beyond ancient... =) if anything, the dll is an excellent example of "how not to write an anti-cheat".

On Intel platforms, we only deal with ring 0 & 3 (unless we are to count the lower level rings, which include Hyper-visor, and SMM). While I agree, an open source platform is an ideal solution.. the ones creating cheats also benefit from this given the full transparency of open source. I do not believe this will work. Having returned to L2 from stopping in 2012 -- I am caught off guard, by how little some who wish to run L2 actually know about the server side itself... which no doubt benefits those who sell crappy 'guards'. With remarks to even if the driver author shells out the 5k for a KMCS certificate -- this gives the driver no more validity than it being unsigned. However this is doubtful, as most cheats are using pirated versions of protectors which light up most a/v like a Christmas tree.

The entire process of writing drivers is different from user land. One need not look any further than GameGuard's ioctl ab-use-able dump_wmimmc driver for this :D Anyone asking the user to run in test signing mode, has problems period. I understand a certain bot can bypass the driver protection anyway, which is beyond pathetic. Kids should stick to their Delphi.

Having reconnected with an old friend, he catching me up on things that change over the years. One such mention was "anti cheat / client protector" using kernel mode device drivers (one that require user to boot into test signing mode none the less!) My question is: ...why? Do you really need callbacks (unless are total moron and hooking ntoskrnl in 2017..) to stop a user mode process? This is sad, not only that -- you are placing user at risk, as a driver as access to every part of the player's system.. (we staying to ring3 & ring0 for this, not going into hypervisor). Why should they trust your product, period. While it is true, somethings cannot perform from user mode. Example my "HideToolz" , "Hidecon" and soon to be released open source Windows 10 process hide... all use driver to remove process from EPROCESS list and handle table... yet, for example, with HideToolz... you can detect with simple FindWindow call. Thanks for entertaining my question,

Smeli, I think is awesome you still working with C1 after all this years. You know persistence. Is a skill not so many know.

Offer is no longer valid. Certainly not for H5 at least.

thanks =) I will

10k. You have creditable source? If cannot discuss here - email me Thanks for this tidbit. Regarding L2J. No way. L2off ,or no thing. Joy is in development of game =)

"more binaries" .. =) tisk!

I happy you have a success =) Regarding income, I found other games to make more money -- but L2 is always old love

Renting makes most money over time for one with files, of course. However, for those of us who wish to work on server, add features via code, renting not work

Damn. I would pay that in a heartbeat.
