  • If we assume Google is a wiggledog of alphabet (lel) agencies, it would want to wiggle off all deviants and provide a single platform one can exploit in a predictable way and not others. In a subscription-model fashion, they benefit from having an ever moving window of vulnerabilities so their clients need to get the latest ones or otherwise they wouldn’t work. I slightly remember an article concerning russian cops using old Pegasus to dig into someone’s iphone and israelis commenting that it is outdated by a couple of years and is not applicable to modern models.

    Privacy-focused OSes and apps out of their control introduce deviances Google doesn’t want to account for, so they establish a total monopoly.

    There should be something more than we have now to tell Google should cool the fuck down.


  • ArchiCAD uses a now-usual DRM scheme of either checking a hardware thumbstick key or seeking for a background licensing server at localhost or a set IP (always-on machine with a pool of licenses one can take one from).

    https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/25/INT/_AC25_Help/003_InstallGuide/003_InstallGuide-4.htm (is it the version OP got?)

    A cracker should either patch the requirement off completely (or drop exe, dlls for in-place replacement) or emulate a suitable key/server that is a separate app. With a lot of software I pirated with this DRM model it’s usually the second way, emulating a server with always correct responses. If that’s the case, the primary exe file can as well be original (of some distinct version?) but the crack happens to a separate background program installed with the main app.

    I think we need another look at what is actually downloaded by OP and if there is some patching process jnvolved or everything is provided already cured. Then, to see and notice what processes are running in the VM, what they try to do.
