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

  • Gnanf: Helping me test the Family Sharing bypass
  • rdbo: For his great libmem library, which saved me a lot of development and learning time
  • 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

They will ban your account and you will be crying because they took away all your games.

Projecting much? I've been using mods like this for a good decade. Also Valve has way bigger fish to fry with their shitty abusable shop system, all the people selling Steam market items on other websites and so on. The list is long

~~>Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.~~

~~You know what community this is in, right? It's all about bypassing and abusing the system to get shit for free~~

Edit: Corrected some false statements on my part.

Huh? Thats not true. Dbzero the creator of this community is pirate by principle to fuck the bad companies , not to abuse and get shit for free from companies that treat their customers okay.

Ok @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Let's settle this debate, does the dbzer0 instance and/or the Piracy community here push the "Good Guy Valve" stance and thus consider this bad practice, or do we consider Valve to be like any other company which uses DRM in regards to this situation. That is to say it is permitted and encouraged like breaking any other DRM.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.

If dn0 isn't available, another community mod or instance admin can feel free to answer this, I CCed you in the bottom of this comment. I apologize if the ping was annoying.

I guess, do whatever fits your budget and/or conscience? I don't think we push a particular philosophy. Folks pirate for different reasons.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago

That makes sense. Everyone has different motives and reasons for pirating, would make sense that we wouldn't push one thing or the other like that person is suggesting. Thanks for your feedback.
