These days, you have DRM solutions doing syscalls directly. I think Jurassic World evolution is an example of software using DRM that does that. The wine developers had to implement the ability to emulate windows syscalls because of it.
I wonder how Microsoft will react to third parties beginning to do syscalls.
- userbinator 4y ago"beginning to"? This has been around since the early NT days, basically as long as DRM (and thus anti-DRM) has existed. Microsoft's reaction? Nothing but occasionally changing the syscall numbers.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoI'm shocked that that works - I was given to understand that MS outright shuffles syscalls per build to make them completely unreliable from userspace.
- p_l 4y agoA lot of DRM (especially game DRM) solutions don't care about reliability or stability. If they figure a way that makes it harder to reverse or run or whatever, they will do it. Even if they are essentially rootkits bad enough someone really should try to see if CFAA would stick.
