You're right, I didn't. It's that we are now in Silicon Valley and have a lot of stuff to do so it takes time. I'll post all details once it's done. Actually, what are doing here is to collect people's opinion, be it positive or negative ones, to make our message as clear as possible.

The random generator has really only a minor role in whole process. It's not about ciphering based on that or whatever else.

There are two things sent over network: your hardware info (to our server) and the final executable (back to you). Both of these are public. You can hack the hardware info file (and to "lock" it for another hardware under your s/n) but what's the point? Our website will allow you to do the same, no need to hack the hwinfo format at all.

One step at time There will be a public crack challenge, everybody is invited, I'll post about it here too, don't worry.

I guess my English is really broken as this is exactly thing I'm trying to repeat here again and again. Our technology is built on this premise.

You still don't understand. Maybe I should invent a smarter term than the 'crypto point' as the point lies completely elsewhere. We don't say it's computationally complex. We say that's there are some control points, which are well hidden for any kind of automation approach and that you, you as a person - pirate, need to find & debug & remove it manually. Every one of them.

Beware, crowd will beat you up for this kind of comments! ;-)

Hey, that's pretty cool idea! It's public, it's reliable, a perfect test case. We'll do some tests and publish it on our website ASAP.

By the nature of our protection, we don't need to do any magic stuff there. It's more like a reliable file server with multiple downloads. We outsourced this task to one of the best companies in our country to handle this, so in this matter I'm pretty confident.

As I mentioned somewhere else we charge them per activation. So, in case the game gets cracked, obviously "no one" would be interested in activation on our servers anymore => you wont get charged as well.

Actually, we'll make your make job much easier. Sure, you can tell us that these function are most important / optimized. But if you still don't feel good about the result, we have a tool (I guess we could spread this tool among publishers) which analyzes the most used / most called code and we can tell you what functions should be avoided or we will do that by ourselves, obviously.

We do exactly the same, as those control points are randomly spread, it's very well possible the last control point gets discovered in the very last level

Sure. We learn from mistakes and although we had no idea about Dreamcast, we figured out that we can't have one single deep throat else we're doomed.

I'll surprise you, it is not. First we do not use any APIs and second we do not use any driver for this. Driver only grants ring0 privileges to one control point at time, this control point talks directly to hardware and therefore if you want to remove each checkpoint, you have to debug it manually and that's what our technology is about. Boring and lengthy debugging, again and again.
