SteamPunks: A release group that emerged from nowhere, managed to break the popular Dishonored 2 game but in a way very different from others. The unknown group SteamPunks released the first KeyGen (from the Key Generator) for Denuvo licenses.
It is well known that the protection offered by the anti-piracy system of Denuvo is the best that is currently in circulation, and the cracking methods that have been presented so far have not been perfect.
DISHONORED.2-STEAMPUNKS, released on top-site and released for the first time in the tent rather marks the beginning of the end of the protection of Denuvo.
The cracking scene is known to keep its gates closed to the general public, and the main players are groups we know from long ago: ZWT, Core, DEViANCE, FAiRLiGHT, RELOADED, Razor 1911 and many others. The new SteamRunks group seems to appear out of nowhere, but on the other hand the crackers or the cracker behind it, they are probably relevant from the scene.
Traffic nfo shows that the band's members were related to the scene, as the record seems to have been created by a relative.
But what does the Dishonored 2 keygen do? The SteamPunks version contains code that allows the user to produce Denuvo licenses per hardware, that is, for each computer he uses.
Let's mention that creating a keygen requires a lot of programming skills, or vice versa engineerings. The key maker instead of tampering with a few bytes of some dll or exe to bypass the dubious protection Results, he will have to read and analyze all the functional-game code to find out under what factors a key is generated that unlocks all the functions of the proletterof So there are many crackers, but few keygeners, as the whole process takes time and knowledge.
