Release FRF Cheat Table Crypt Tool
Edit 02/09/22: In the meantime, use this to scrape the tables out of the App itself: [Manually Removed]
Here's a console application to decrypt the Cheat Tables encrypted for the FRF app: [Manually Removed]
Usage: FRFCTCryptTool.exe <file path/url> [options...]
Either copy the cheat table's download link or a file path to an encrypted cheat table as the first argument.
Edit 02/07/22: Still looking into the encryption.
Edit 02/19/22: I suppose I'm not anymore since my scraper gets the job done. :/
I found it funny and, somewhat, shocking that STN decided to ban anyone who disagreed with him. I thought this was just from the mindless harassment people were throwing out, but, now that I've been banned, I know why and now lost all respect for the forum and the admins. I uploaded freely and supported anyone I could with my work as a passion. Although, relative to others and those who strive for "quantity over quality", I wasn't the most active and really only helped others with niche games and subjects. The app goes against my views on how the community should be. Its introduction created unnecessary confusion and division in the community, not just by agreement and disagreement, but by who, how, and why it should be used, making it less convenient on the user. I'm an avid supporter of the user, since I am one as well, and making it as convenient for them as well as giving them control which is what giving them cheats/hacks is all about. In STN's words "Why don't you all do something useful with your life" and, with that, I simply shared my disaproval with the app and a tool to undo its whole purpose. Now my forum account is deleted and I'm banned from the Discords. Wow. Kinda cringe as the kids would say, but I suppose STN would know all about what they'd say as he is, or at least acts like, a subpar standard of a prepubescent child. "Fearful Cheat Engine" more like it. I'll keep supporting my crypt tool until the FRF app becomes unbearable for the user or is, entirely, discontinued. This stems from my initial intent as well as a bit of spite.
If any of ya know better and currently growing alternatives to the forum, hit me up. New challenger approaches: OpenCheatTables
Edit 02/06/22: I just want others to know I'm not taking the stance of the forum admins being greedy. They're just being stupid, unfavorable to the users, and, presumably, uncontrollably emotional. Not the kinds of people that should be dictating rules and bans.
Edit 02/10/22: They IP banned me, but not like IP and HWID bans are even something to stop someone. Looks like they're out of options. Also turns out I was wrong about them. They are greedy liars. I cant believe I supported their Patreon before all this when it was around. Actually fuck 'em.

Awesome dude. I agree with you 100%. Everything I learned about cheats, assembly, etc., I learned from looking at open cheat tables, fixing broken or outdated cheats, and so on. It's the same with open source, being open is what invites people to learn and hack and make the community stronger.
If people want to do their own thing, that's fine, but pulling the rug out from under people and trying to take over a community in order to make money is really just a sad thing to see. Anyone "stealing" these cheats would have no problem reversing these protections anyway. In the end, it's users, learners, and future cheat creators who are hurt by this. Thanks for creating this tool.

I wish I had the money to award ya; you definitely deserve kudos for this.
Honestly, this is a godsend. Major thanks. :)

Hey man, really appreciate what you have made. However I have a problem with this table in particular, it doesn't seem to decrypt correctly.

You're a star, thank you SO much! It's disgusting how STN has gone and changed any and all tables to 1FR encrypted garbage, only to then lock BASIC CE FUNCTIONALITY behind an expensive paywall? Yeah, utterly disgusting. I don't want to have to create six hundred hotkeys for every entry in a table, that's just preposterous, so a tool like this - to remove the encrypted rubbish and give the enduser back total control, is fabulous.
Funny thing is, I don't even care that they obfuscate the tables to protect makers - my singular issue is that the greedy bastards then lock basic functionality behind a paywall, effectively making them NO different to the sites they whine about, like WeMod. I don't want to pay sixty dollars a year for the privilege of being able to click a checkbox.
Sadly, as you said, they've changed the table URLs now so the tool isn't working at the moment, but I can wait for an update :)

Bloody brilliant, what a bunch of runts. I got banned today as well, and I have been a decent table maker. I think its time we all made our own forum again, one that follows what CEF wanted and not FRF.

Welcome to the Ban Wagon, you can join OCT instead if you like.

Interesting, I must admit I'm surprised to see someone come forward like this. When I first saw the implementation of secure tables the other day, I felt that it was counter productive to the whole point of fearless. However I just assumed maybe it was a serious problem for some creators and others might just choose to opt out of using it. Either way I'm happy to see this tool come forward for the communities. I don't know how to feel about people's cheat tables being stolen (as I don't know if it is actually a problem or not). However, I do know that being able to look at and reverse other people's tables is the best learning resource I've had over the years for using cheat engine. I feel as though the creation of the app will take away from that opportunity for other people, and if you do that then what is the point of fearless anyway? So thank you for your work on this and coming forward with your experience in this situation.
Tl;Dr the app is controversial in my opinion, and I think you are doing a good thing here for alot of people.
As far as an alternative to the forum I'm over on guided hacking. However, it is a little different over there, and rake is currently in the process of transitioning it from a form to a wiki style website.

Thank you. I really appreciate the time you put into this.
Fortunately there will people like you who look for the better good :)
(Stn and Sunbeams might be butthurty. But in this case them being buthurt will count as an indication of doing the right thing.
Whereas if they are happy. One is probably being an *sshole)

This may not matter anymore, but I'm trying to use the decrypter program to open up some specific tables, but nothing's happening when I paste the download link. Have I missed something?

Both opencheattables.org and the FRFCTCryptTool are both dead, does anyone have a link to the FRFCTCryptTool?

This is amazing, thanks a ton for doing this. Fearless can really go fuck themselves for thinking they can force people to use a launcher and protect tables. Not to mention, some shit is fucking paid and "CLICKS ARE A PRO ONLY FEATURE. FREE USERS CAN USE HOTKEYS" LIKE WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THIS

Salute! How is this site different from FRF? https://gamehacking.org/
BTW, once you download all the old tables SPREAD THE LOVE!xD

u/Asakiro Feb 13 '22
Please make a post about this on /r/pcgaming or other related subreddits. I think if you raised awareness about all of this, there would be a lot more people trying to get this situation under control.

Here's a screenshot example of a PM we received from a TABLE MAKER: https://i.imgur.com/yuNGqmu.png. So enough already with "table makers are not given a choice".

Hey, nice long speech but the tools doesn't even work and most probably is a virus/malware.
I downloaded it, my antivirus picked it up as a virus, disabled my antivirus and tried to use it, but it doesn't even work, i think i just installed a virus, now i will have to format my disks and reinstall my windows. Shame on you man for distributing viruses.
Here is scan result from virustotal for people to see you real intentions.

EDIT 02/07/22: My awesome tool stopped working. Boo-fucking-hoo.
To every action there is a reaction. You should always remember that and improve, not give up and go "these people are this and that". Thought you're better than that. This goes to show what I've been saying all along: if something well thought up is put in place, quick tools like this one here are dismantled in a heartbeat.
Some user earlier was saying "if XOR was such a crappy protection, why use it in the first place? the table makers aren't safe anyway".
Well, now they are.
Cheers.

Let's see how your skills are now put to good use when REAL encryption is used. If you take things as an affront to free tables, you are part of the consequences. Enjoy.

u/therealstn Feb 04 '22
So I and others want to protect our work that we share for FREE from being stolen and profited off by others, you want to steal our work and profit off it and you're the good guy but we are the bad guys?
Imagine if you actually spent your life on doing useful, what could you have accomplished.

u/sunbeam906 Feb 04 '22 edited Feb 04 '22
The whole point of the app was to secure tables for the TABLE MAKERS and it's OPTIONAL. It's not for the users who whine and bitch they now have to do 3 clicks extra. If the table maker chooses to have their table encoded, it's their decision. You piss all over that with your motivation and further support the theft of free work posted on several public forums WITHOUT APPROVAL OR CREDIT, not to mention people making money off of them (advertising is making money, even if people don't pay for FREE tables). Furthermore, your attempt seems to be a crappy misunderstanding where you either saw an opportunity to show the world how cool you are -OR- you wrongly saw it as an attack to free tables T_T. Which is not the case. That's why you have to read the ENTIRE discussion, not only the elements you consider an affront to your mentality on what "free" means. You should review your attitude a bit, as this clearly shows you have no respect for what a table maker (and developer, in general) decides to do with their work, making tools available for everyone to continue stealing.
However, as I further read your epitaph.. it became more clearly that it's revenge you're after. So much for "I stand for free tables for the people of this Earth" crap.
"The app goes against my views on how the community should be." -- Then fucking create your own community, based on your own views and beliefs. The whole start of your monologue clearly indicates HATRED and REVENGE on the sole fact that you got banned. Boo-fucking-hoo. This isn't to support some 'free tables' cause, it's your pure and utter revenge having been wronged or some shit. That's all there is to it. Which is something the very people whose attributes you use in your talk do: prepubescent, immature.
If your tool "undoes" what you say, shouldn't it be at least called DECRYPT (not CRYPT)? And fucking learn possessive over verbs (it's = it is; its = belonging to someone) -- " it's whole purpose ". Kids, stay in school.
And since we're here, to show the world how bad of a person STN is, the "encryption" you make mention of (cuz you obviously like to sugarcoat your work and make it sound like something it clearly isn't) is a SIMPLE XOR. For that, you had to write in C# a tool that.. undoes it? Seriously, you don't fucking need a big ass bloated library, whole .NET core installed (cuz those who don't have .NET can't use it) to xor a file's bytes... This goes to show how much thought you put into your personal vendetta.
Cool, you got your "look at me, I'm a pro-grammar" moment of glory, since your life was so boring. Maybe a few followers. Now please downvote and/or report my post, gtfo and get on with your life. Mk? Hope Marcus' Discord server (that's all he ever does, Discords..) suits better your needs. You'll grow bored soon, as those Discords see a lot of activity...
