lockdown-IX86-XX.mpq update?

[l)ragon]

Support for Warcraft II BNE is live as well.  JSTR should be operable as well.

SSHR?

BNLS has never supported SSHR

Using the same lockdown library that brood war is using at the time, and passing it the same 'seed' value that brood war is using at that time, should checkrevision called from a test application produce the same checksum value as the brood war one produced?

Should probably put some thought to it now then.

[warz]

Why? Is SSHR allowed into public channels again?

No its got that same checkrevision now.

[warz]

But, who cares? SSHR serves little to no purpose.

Maybe when someone wants to create something that doesn't require a cd key it does.

SSHR needs a CD-Key.

hah, just a little bit of reverse engineering humor here. it's 7 AM, about, and I've been at this for awhile, and I came across this..

Probably not.  The whole point of this new library is to catch modifications to Brood War's memory, so it is highly likely that the library will checksum the memory of whatever process you run it in, rather than just check Brood War's files like legacy CheckRevision did (ignoring the legacy CheckRevision hack for finding the executable).  While it may not be a complete checksum, it will probably cover important portions of memory, such as the Warden code, and maybe some of the more popular cheats.  Therefore, you need to mimic at least those portions of Brood War's address space in order to get the correct result.  Determining what those portions are, what to put in them, and how to convince lockdown to check them instead of you (since it will probably not react well to being called in the wrong process) is left as an exercise to the reader.

Bear in mind, I haven't even gotten around to disassembling the DLLs yet.  I am simply speculating based on observed results.

[Ersan]

Or you can do what we do currently and spoof API functions when you run the DLL.  I'd rather someone figure out how to reverse the checksum algorithm though...

wrong.

Then why does my SSHR case have a key on it and the installer ask for a key?

[MysT_DooM]

maybe you just need a cdkey to install sshr on your computer, but when logging onto bnet; it doesnt check the cdkey. ?
hence why you dont need a cdkey
¿?
