Over the past few years, the Voksi name has become synonymous with gaming cracking, especially when it comes to Denuvo protection. This week the talented cracker (of Bulgarian nationality} released a video 90 minutes, in which he reveals how he broke the V4 of the famous Denuvo technology.
Here is an interview he gave to TorrentFreak.
Earlier this week, the 4.9 version of Denuvo's protection system, which protected it Assassin's Creed Origin in recent months, was defeated by the Italian CPY cracking team.
Although Denuvo will probably report the four months of protection as a success, the company would prefer its protection to take a little longer, mainly after Ubisoft's decision to use VMProtect protection technology.
But let's talk about Voksi, as we said this week, we released a 90 minute video (below) describing how to break Denuvo's V4 technology.
Video is not for everyone, so anyone unfamiliar with the sport will probably find it boring. However, you may be thrilled to learn that Voksi recently knew nothing of the code…
"You will find this very funny and unbelievable," says Voksi, recalling what happened in 2012.
“There was one game called Sanctum and on a free [play] weekend [on Steam] me and my best friend were playing. I saw how great the collaboration was. When the free weekend was over, we wanted to keep playing, but we didn't have the money to buy the game.
“So I started looking for alternative ways, LAN emulators, anything! Then I decided I had to break it. That's how I got into reverse engineering. I started watching some bad quality YouTube videos and doing some tutorials. Then I found some exploit of Steam and so I started making Steamworks fixes, allowing multiplayer between players. "
Voksi reports that his entire career began with this game and his desire to play with his best friend. Before that, he had absolutely no experience. He never attended any university lesson or other lesson on the subject. Everything he knows comes from material he found on the internet. But the plate does not stop there.
“I don't even know how to properly code in C#, C++, etc. But I get it assembly very well" he explains.
It's been six years since the 21-year-old who was initially motivated to break a game due to lack of money. Almost half a decade on, his motivations don't seem to have changed much.
"I provide paid things for free to people who can not afford them. "Of course, I'm not saying do not support developers if you have the money."
"The challenge of cracking encourages me, especially with a company like Denuvo. It is a pure cancer for the toy industry, it does not help and it causes problems to the paying customers ".
Those who follow Voksi online will know that, apart from being known for themselves, he is also a member of REVOLT team.
"REVOLT started as a team with a single goal - to provide support to players who use cracked games."
In communities like / r / crackwatch in Reddit, Voksi and his friends have become something like heroes on the Internet, breaking games to give access to the masses.
"Well, I do not see myself as a hero, but as an ordinary person doing what he loves. I like to see people happy because of my job, that's a big motivation, but nothing more than that. ”
