█ 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 █
█ █
