- userbinator 4mo agoCould be as little as a one-byte difference to patch out the expiry check.
- varispeed 4mo agoSometimes one bit.
- teaearlgraycold 4mo agoDamn, you could create an illegal number by sharing an offset+value.
- Retr0id 4mo agoOr indeed an illegal LLM prompt: "/goal locate and patch out the licensing check"
- angry_octet 4mo agoEnforcing your rights under your contract by patching out some cert validation checks seems legal to me. Maybe not in places with anti-circumvention laws, but elsewhere it seems fine.
- userbinator 4mo agoIt would be amusingly ironic if someone used Copilot to do it.
- londons_explore 4mo agoPretty sure this is beyond copilots abilities... It's really bad at any kind of binary analysis.
- ZeWaka 4mo agoReally? It's been pretty good with a Ghidra MCP at signature scanning for extremely niche undocumented software.
- MatejKafka 4mo agoIt is absolutely great at binary analysis, as long as you give it a decompiler.
