Hypervisor bypass

[cavedog]

What do you guys think of the Hypervisor bypass as the new Denuvo hack?

It seems to have split the gaming and scene groups in half. Some saying it's a new era for game cracking and other saying it's the new unkillable botnet loading.

Denuvo is not taking lightly to this. I would not be surprised if the game makers are furious at them. They are quite expensive and now it's a free for all on the seas. Every game playable with hardly any effort.

Read up on it. Seems pretty risky opening your PC up to some nasty stuff just to play some games for free. Personally I would avoid it. Im in the try for free then buy if I like camp, but not for any HV games

Indeed. It's very legit now but what if one of those HV guys eventually feel like hey I need a big payout and sells access to all these exploited devices to the highest bidder. It's all fun and games until it's not.

The accepted usage is to revert and restart after you're done gaming, even if you don't revert and just restart the driver is unloaded and all that's turned off is core isolation which a lot of people already turn off for performance reasons.

Torrentfreak wrote a good article on this, I agree with the sentiment that it's high risk.

A point I agree with is that there are bad actors who will use this vulnerability for their own benefit at a huge cost to the users.
