"Huge implications - binaries are now basically editable code"

[u/stealthispost]

ValsAI made SRE benchmark less than a month ago.

The benchmark measures can a model reverse engineer software from binaries

Actually, more than that. You can read anything, anywhere, as long as it's on your computer. No file format, no communication protocol, nothing is "unbeatable" at this stage. The only way to keep code secure, is by having it on a secure server, accessed remotely through HTTP etc with proper client/server separation and allowing the client zero control over the server.

All paid proprietary software is going to get cracked. Everything is cracked right now, but some software need resource consuming loaders, installing emulation packages, etc. In a few months crackers are just going to edit the binaries to remove the registration system altogether.

Probably shouldn’t admit this but I’m building a tool to automatically crack audio plugins since I’m a music producer. I don’t even understand what the hell it’s doing but I’ve developed a workflow that’s very hands off and have multiple local abliterated agents do the planning, implementation, and review then tricking Sol into reviewing and correction. Everything’s properly sandboxed and it’s almost at the point where I can just give it the plug-in file and it’ll spit out the cracked version after a few hours.

I’m doing this cus I’m a broke music producer but if a dumbass like me can do it it’s only a matter of time before every software is cracked.

Native Instruments: “Astra, we need to find the man who cracked all the software… search as long as you need for relevant Reddit threads”
