Hex editors, save game editors, bypassing Adobe’s 30-day trials by replacing DLL files, pirating Windows 8 apps - these are all just different incarnations of the same attack vectors. In general, every installed application is vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.
#HOW TO PIRATE WINDOWS 10 APPS CODE#
The fact is, Windows 8 Metro apps are stored on your hard drive - and this means that you have access to the code and data. It’s easy to blame Microsoft for this, but really this is an issue that is intrinsic to all installed applications. Once we have all of those it’s pretty simple to decrypt anything.” Angel notes that there are some security mechanisms in place that stopped him from directly editing app DLL and JS files, but, as we can see, that didn’t stop him from pirating apps or bypassing in-app purchases. As Angel says, “We have the algorithm used for encryption, we have the hash key and we have the encrypted data. You can protect these files with encryption - and indeed, some of them are - but that’s no good if you have access to the code that performs the encryption. In-app ads and purchases are massive revenue streams for developers, and yet we now see that it’s very easy to circumvent both. This is obviously bad news for developers, who probably don’t realize that by allowing trial downloads they are opening themselves up to piracy. Ultimately, all of these hacks represent ways of getting stuff for free.
