I thought the same thing. I can only imagine police departments are being sold an elaborate tall tale of how this will save money and the accuracy is unbelievably high.

Right on. Gotcha.

Hahaha. Yea. Been there too.

Fair point. Malware can tunnel through existing comms, thus firewalling the exe would do little to protect you.

That’s why I recommended a multilayered defense and practicing good opsec.

An exe that installs a service, modifies unrelated executables, and sends comms through an unrelated application would be a catastrophic failure in any good defense.

If your system is this wide open then you’ll be likely to have all sorts of problems from non pirated software. Such as freeware that installs adware.

I have tried to find these in the wild to no avail.

Yep. The approach that Denuvo utilizes has been discussed forever, but games didn't really have the extra CPU cycles to run around and validate the integrity of each and every function. Most games are balls to the wall and using every CPU cycle it can. Point is, games that require heavy performance suffer under Denuvo unless your system is bleeding edge. This means the vast majority of their customer base suffer. There are all sorts of ways to prevent piracy for games.. but most companies can't utilize these approaches due to the very nature of disorganized game development.

Many do provide some form of checksum.

I hear ya. Voting is supposed to help self moderate, but it is just abused.

Great response, thank you.

When you are making fun of the “other side”, whether left or right, it won’t open their eyes and ears to a counterpoint. It gets instantly dismissed. It’s wasted effort IMHO. I want people to listen to all this research and insight.

That’s the crux of my issue with this approach.

The look on his face. He knows he’s fucked. Eat shit pedo.

2e. We like the role playing more than rolling dice to simulate a pen and paper MMO.

Just because it’s publicly available on the internet does not mean it is public domain or not covered by copyrights. Attribution may end up being what is needed. A works cited list. I see licensing of works being ingested as a future moneymaker.
