Since some Lemmy users have asked me via DM and also searched my other socials to ask me about my old bypass I thought I’d share my new one with Lemmy too.
I also uploaded the source in case anyone wants to look at it (or even extend it, who knows).
Sorry for the extraordinary wait.
Have fun guys :)
Edit: I should have known Lemmy wouldn’t like a semi private forum, even though it’s all about things like this there. Here is the already build SLSsteam.so + Source Code for anyone to download anonymously if they prefer it that way.
To use it just extract the SLSsteam.so somewhere and then start steam like this:
LD_AUDIT="/full/path/to/SLSsteam.so" steam
Building is easy too, just run the included build.sh

- oleavr and all the other awesome people working on Frida for easy instrumentation which helps a lot in analyzing, testing and debugging
- All the folks working on Ghidra, this was my first project using it and I’m in love with it!
Edit2: Uploaded update with more hooks because I just noticed family sharig still killed some games
You’re absolutely right in thinking that way, but this isn’t the only tool of it’s kind. The most popular one is GreenLuma, which has multiple thousands of users. So me making a similliar one for Linux doesn’t really matter in the grand scale of things
yeah, i just wish people thought more about these things. There are consequences not just to yourself but possibly towards fellow pirates and bystanders. Personally I have benefitted from family sharing greatly, much more than from piracy as with piracy you have to accept the possibility of malware which I cant afford at the moment. I really dont want to see valve rescind it.
