█ Protection Notes
█ ================
█
█ It's not everyday AiR feels the need to comment on a
█ release but we believe some issues about Markus Feil
█ need to be addressed for both legitimate users and
█ the warez community.
█
█ In our opinion Markus Feil's plugins are the
█ equivilent to MALWARE, it is with disgust we find the
█ elaborate (and futile!) measures he has taken within
█ his code.
█
█ When a developer starts dropping files and creating
█ empty BOGUS registry keys, writing to a users host
█ file etc. then they have crossed a line of ethics
█ that is inexcusable.
█
█ One could argue that warez users get what they
█ deserve, however... warez uses ALWAYS choose to take
█ a risk when they use warez. The legitimate user
█ however gets exactly the SAME codebase and IF things
█ go wrong they are subjected to the same MALWARE crap
█ undeservedly.
█
█ Furthermore, our release is BETTER than what legit
█ users are getting because we have disposed of the
█ MALWARE traps and HAVE ENABLED TWO EXTRA NEW HIDDEN
█ expansions that legit users DON'T have and probably
█ DON'T know about.
█
█ NOTE TO Markus: you are tool, ppl may debate our
█ ethics but WE DON'T infect and manipulate filesystems
█ or registries, you're no better than a virus
█ developer in our opinion.
█
█ Stick to what you know cause your protection schemes
█ are no match for us <middle finger>
█
█ Some warez users like to go legit, it's hard to see
█ them going legit with your plugins when the
█ experience you give them results in piss poor MALWARE
█ techniques. FUCK YOU!
█
█ Here are some of the techniques Markus infects your
█ machine with:
█
█ - Registry scanning
█
█ - Filesystem scanning
█
█ - Creating bogus registry keys
█
█ - File dropping
█
█ - Multiple \system32\drivers\etc\host file updates
█
█ - Deletion of files
█
█ - Phone home notification
█
█ - ExitWindowsEx calls (causes machine to shutdown)
█
█ - DLL unpacked checks
█
█
█ # Registry scanning...
█
█ Markus has coded his plugins to look for other Tone2
█ and reFX registry entries, if blacklisted serials are
█ found then his MALWARE is invoked. These include
█ Firebird, FilterBank, Warmverb, Gladiator, Vanguard
█
█ # Filesystem scanning...
█
█ Markus has coded his plugins to look for other
█ products keyfiles, if blacklisted keyfiles are found
█ then his MALWARE is invoked. This includes FireBird,
█ FilterBank, Warmverb, Gladiator
█
█ # Bogus registry entries...
█
█ Markus creates keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
█
█ at least two NEW keys with no data (not disclosing to
█ protect privacy). if you have been subjected to the
█ MALWARE traps check your registry, the keys will be
█ obvious as the names are crap, make no sense and they
█ have no data under them.
█
█ # File dropping...
█
█ Markus creates:
█
█ twdef.sys
█
█ wvdriver.sys
█
█ r2._9X1.r
█
█ gldriver.sys
█
█ gsndrun.sys
█
█
█ + about 4 other random file names (not disclosing to
█ protect privacy)
█
█ If your going to look for these files make sure you
█ have turned off 'Hide protected operating system
█ files' in explorer. Typically they are dropped in the
█ same location as the Gladiator2 dll.
█
█ # Update of hosts file...
█
█ Markus updates the users host file with a massive
█ list of warez, torrent and other site urls
█
█ # Deletion of files...
█
█ Markus deletes any blacklisted keyfiles from the
█ users machine
