so it just emulates the checkrevision function with some minor edits... like where to get the hash data from?

more or less. think about it though - checkrvision is a function, in which other functions are called. if you've looked at checkrevision in a disassembler you'll see that just about every important routine is performed in its own function. why would you call checkrevision knowing you'll have to modify things, when you can simply call the things that checkrevision calls? that's the general idea.

Except... if they change the function without changing what it calls, you're up shit creek again and you have to do it all over. If you can correctly just call checkrevision and give it what it needs, you're only up shit creek when they change what it needs.

Wrong. If they change anything in the dll it'll switch up the addresses. If you directly call checkrevision, like my old example, you'll have to go back and re-patch other addresses. If it were as easy as you've made it sound, it would have been fixed the same day it was released.

The purpose to the current solution we are using is to have an immediate fix, while we also have pointers to the important functions so that we can begin to convert them all to C++. Currently, some of them are already in their respective C++ form.

Very nice work Rob. Congratz.

[vuther.de]

His DLL works miracles.

[brew]

shhh vuther.
What dll are you talking about ? Nobody has ever and never will reverse lockdown CheckRevision! It's way too advanced for us. Oh great blizzard, why have you plauged us bot developers! We're going to have to stick with CHECK REVISION DATABASE or bnls forever!

[Mystical]

skywing reversed it, aswell as did warz and now im assuming rob, im guessing the dll was released somewhere, probley not here someone might remove the topic for distributing such a thing, lockdown should be public for my opinion, loaders are already out, but as well i can understand the hard work put into sucha thing that you wouldn't wanna release it public, but i'll be here waiting, if its not a how to, a dll would work just fine to, so such bots like stealthbot, and ect can be updated.

[Barabajagal]

... he was pretending people haven't done it so blizzard won't change it......

[brew]

blizzard reads these forums daily.

[rabbit]

Someone else has reversed lockdown completely.

[warz]

i think the fact of the matter is that lockdown is old news. been there, done that. what's next?
