why is this so bad? that .sys file would come with the game, so the only consequence is that cheaters have extra time to reverse engineer it. right? am I missing anything?
my understanding was that DRM or anticheats were supposed to be updated frequently enough that reverse engineering them isn't worth it. isn't that the case?
exactly, it's just a head start. weak obfuscation is an independent problem
let's put it another way. if you have a driver that can be reversed in *hours*, then it doesn't matter that it got leaked... it would have been reversed hours after the game's release anyway.
finding it really hard to understand why people think the leak is a big deal
that got me curious to try and reverse engineer anticheats. but then I remembered they are Windows-based and NOPE not touching that

I think everyone can benefit from a more thorough understanding of FS, even if not applicable to Windows because Windows is shit
you can avoid races, bugs & edge cases
so. you might have heard how in UNIX "everything is a file". you have many kind of files. what we usually understand by 'file' is called 'regular file', but directories are another kind of file
files do NOT have names. directories give names to files.
just like a regular file is a "tape" of bytes that allows random access, a directory is a table of *pointers* to other files, where each pointer has a name
los dramas me recuerdan lo fácil que es que 2 o más personas se hieran y luego no tengan la empatía o habilidad suficiente como para arreglarlo. es deprimente pensar en lo altas que son las posibilidades de que las cosas se tuerzan cuando se crean lazos
se me quitan todas las (pocas) fuerzas que tengo para socializar, de verdad
también tenemos muy idealizada la mediación, hay muchos casos en que simplemente *no se puede* arreglar algo por mucho que se intente, solo acabas más quemada
