It still boggles my noggin this place is a safe recommended piracy website. I recall when the idea of downloading anything related to a dot RU would have been scoffed at.
>I recall when the idea of downloading anything related to a dot RU would have been scoffed at.
I don't. Russian websites are safe heavens since always, rutracker is one of the oldest trackers on internet with 0 issues.
It's been more than a decade now and I still barely see any mass reports of pc getting virus infected from those sites
I guess people slowly trusted .ru sites over time
I swear there was a point what I said was true but yeah that was probably ages ago and the perception changed. Or I'm making up memories. Anyway never gotten so many yous before. I wasn't even trying to shit post how exciting.
I would sooner download from russians than IGG or any major western place. I trust russian shit because if one of their users installs a virus or malware or any fricking thing, they will track that mother fricker down and hang him along with his entire family. They're not pussy ass westcucks.
yeah this 17 year old acc with 60000 uploads that is vouched for your grandma surely will give me a virus inside of this cracked dungeon keeper download ;o
It reminds me of the 2000's era Internet. Everyone has anime/sport avatars, people give a shit about the quality of their posts, those blocks of copypasta at the end of every forum post (footnotes? I can't remember what they were called). It's a comfy feeling. The feeling of a bygone era.
i seriously hope its just down for maintenance.
I rely wayyy to much on this site.
I also find it weird how little pirates on this site talks about tools like cream
>imagine not using one of the best piracy ressources available >no repacks available for game >not on gog-games
I think I'll check cs.rin
hey it's there! >link is dead >best piracy ressources available
what?
that's your average user experience homosexual. the only reason to go there over other sites is obscure games that are only there and it doesn't even do that right
>link is dead >"hey the links are dead, can someone reupload the latest version?" >wait a day >check back on the threat, someone replied to my post >"sure thing dude, here it is" >thread now has a working link again
Are you a zoomer who doesn't know how a forum fricking works? You know you can write stuff in threads right?
>the most cancerous spam frick fest color coded wall of text frickery with cancer download pages you gotta manually search through dozens of shitposts
i miss going into tpb, type game name update, click magnet icon and that was it
I know I shouldn't judge the entire site over this but the four times I tried to download something from there it was nothing but dead links. I guess I could've just picked the only four games with dead links but come on. Four times in a row over time and each time RinRu completely failed me.
You are doing it wrong, rutracker is for game downloading and cs.rin.ru is for DLC unlocking for your legit Steam games.
I kid you not, what games you were looking for? I can check rutracker right now
>rutracker is for game downloading
Not him but I've always used cs.rin plus 2 other sites for my games and have had 0 problems. I'll look into rutracker, thank you
I did this once for stellaris. I bought the game along time ago, then finally checked in, knowing it had a quintillion dlc. So I just got it off cs.
And good thing too because It's not a very good 4x all and all. I don't regret paying the base price for the game, but I would have been might upset if I actually bought the dlc.
The links are always going to be dead after a while since they don't bother to mirror them. It's good if you're pirating a game that came out right now and is getting updates, or if you want to keep up with info on the piracy about a game, but otherwise it's not useful for most people. You're going to need to look elsewhere if you want updates and DLC patches for older games.
>I know I shouldn't judge the entire site over this but the four times I tried to download something from there it was nothing but dead links.
Yeah links usually go dead after a while. Especially now since Zippyshare was shuttered down and atleast 50% of all cracks were uploaded there. Just do some basic Forum 101: always check the latest entries in a thread before you follow any links.
>implying I bought anything for the past 10 years >implying I did any work for the past 20 years
Anyway, it's still Friday. Aren't you supposed to be waging right now? lma0
It's run by power hungry homosexuals who are on par with reddit mods and who have no achievements IRL. I am awaiting the death of that subreddit of a forum.
Name your pirating site cs.rin because you liked to play cs, - sure I won't be called out for liking this game.
Yeah you are moron you should suck my balls now that I spoon fed you fricking b***h ass

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
It's an official devkit for windows made by microsoft. Now this is by no means the only thing that can do the trick but it's definitely among the safest and easiest ways. >inb4 what do you mean by safe
meaning that the programs know what processes are from microsoft so unless you are literally moronic you probably won't kill essential stuff but be careful nevertheless if this is your first time doing this kind of thing. Obviously run everything as admin.
There are a bunch of cool stuff here but what you are looking for are: >Autoruns
This is your trusty handgun. Good for a specific role but not enough on it's own.
This handy program lists everything that starts up alongside your machine. Now you can finally find and kill that fricking Microsoft Edge updater that leeches off your RAM every time you boot up. Also good for finding things that shouldn't start up alongside your PC, like viruses or spyware.
>Process Explorer
This is your swiss army knife. Use it for everything.
Lists EVERYTHING that's currently running on your PC. Handy for finding processes that shouldn't be running. You can also submit hash information to virustotal directly from the application so you can scan files easily. It also lists what addresses some processes try to reach so you can find programs that tries to call home without your approval.
>Process Monitor
This is your fricking personal long range artillery that levels the entire battlefield.
Lists EVERYTHING your computer does. What files are being looked at and by whom. Exactly where programs are saving files/logs/whatever. What they are doing with it, etc. Bit confusing at first but not that hard to get into. Very-very powerful.
>DiskMon
Going with the weapon metaphor, this is a tank. Not as good as the field artillery but it's great if you learn how to use it.
Tells you exactly what's being written on your hard drives. Experts only
>that fricking Microsoft Edge updater
I knew there was something up with that even though I never used Edge! I remember looking up how to kill Adobe ARM and the Acrobat startup updaters, and that random Copilot AI thing, and maybe a couple others. I forgot all the registry changes and such I did in the past in the process.
Thank you for both the link and the concise explanations. Impressive delivery. I am not home right now so I cannot do these yet, but I will save the info and any relevant program downloads for when I get new computers too
No worries anon, happy to help. Best of luck on starting your manual anti-virus journey. Yeah Adobe is also one of those ridiculously persistent bullshit that uses way too much resources. Just turn it off in the previously mentioned Autoruns and you're good to go. To be completely sure however, I encourage you to open your Services settings, find anything with "Adobe" in its name for example and disable it for good measure. >I forgot all the registry changes and such I did in the past in the process.
I also encourage you to try out Privatezilla
https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla
if you are installing win10 (or 11) often. It's a great bloat remover. It is also a complete telemetry stopper for windows 10 if you're like me who cares about that sort of thing.
>privatezilla
Back when I got this laptop, I used this
https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater
I'll look into this privatezilla thing later then. Thank you
>Process Explorer >Process monitor
NTA. I'm moronic. How exactly do i determine what smells of shit in this?
I thought a ton of svchost files were those but virustotal says they're safe, so i have no idea the frick i should do.
>NTA. I'm moronic.
No worries anon. We all started somewhere. >How exactly do i determine what smells of shit in this?
Let's start with Process Explorer.
It varies from program to program. If you want to go through all the runtimebrokers and the svchosts you'll have to: >rightclick -> properties >check if the Path is correct (for scvhost should be C:WindowsSystem32svchost.exe) >find the Command line (directly below) >google it if that's something your PC should do
Google is going to be your best friend for system processes. Search until you find what that process does and if that should be something that your PC does.
But if I'm honest, you probably don't have to worry about svchost at all.
For non-microsoft processes, it should be more or less obvious and easy. First sort by "Company Name" so you can ignore the stuff from Microsoft. Then quickly skim through all the apps and check if there's something you don't think that should belong. Like a program with russian or chinese letters (likely a virus), or something that's a mainstream/microsoft program typo (like discrod.exe instead of discord.exe for example). Check the different tabs like the Enviroment or TCP/IP (and look for anything that really feels out of place when compared to other programs). Google anything when unsure.
Be aware that things like Interrupts, Registry, System Idle Process and so on are not listed under Microsoft but they are still part of your system. Still it can be a good idea to check their Paths to see if that's what it should be.
Next, add the Network columns to the program like Recieve Bytes and Send Bytes. If anything sends information out from your computer that shouldn't (like some program with chinese characters in it or something) then it's also an indication that it's doing something sketchy.
Spend some time looking through the programs and you'll get the hang of it.
Also, it's likely you don't have any viruses on your PC but it's nice to check every so often.
This one is much harder, but not DiskMon level hard. With ProcExp, you know what's running on your PC but if you want to know WHAT it does, now you need ProcMon.
So this program is like a log. It captures every process attempt on your hard drives. You won't just open it and look through it all because it's fricking massive. It's accurate down to miliseconds.
So you start a program you want to understand, let it do it's thing for a while, then stop the capture (button looks like a cropping tool in photoshop). You can use the filter or the search function to help whatever you want to look up.
Picrel is an example of fricking NVIDIA being a resource hog constantly creating and accessing logs but I can't do anything about it because it's linked with the core nvidia services. So it's a good example to show off.
So, you run ProcMon, start the program, stop the capture when you want to, filter the results so you only see your desired program's stuff.
If it tries to constantly snoop around where it shouldn't belong (like windows folders, personal folders, opening channels to unknown IP addresses, etc.) then you might have a program that does shady shit.
This is how you get evidence for modern programs being spyware. It's how I found evidence for Epic trying to spy on me for example. If you install the EGS and whenever you start the program, it will sweep your PC looking for Steam and other game platforms for example. Pretty nasty stuff.
Thank you!! Not that anon but I was always curious about these things.

Happy to help.
Always better to know your way around the machine we spend so much time on. It's also a (mostly) surefire way to find out if a program does sketchy things or not. Like FitGirl. A lot of anons are crying about viruses but they are just morons. You can inspect what it does with ProcExp and ProcMon and it will come up clean.
People are usually just afraid of things they don't understand. or they are trying to gatekeep others from discovering actually safe pirate sources, in which case, whoops

Thanks for the guides anon.
Not the guy you were originally talking to, but I also did something similar with Wireshark and tried to find out what programs are accessing the internet, with more or less success.
I'm a bit paranoid about trojans stealing my credit card, as I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s when those things become big and every nerd was trolling other kids in the class with Sub7 and Backorifice.
Anyway, got any recommendation for virus busters that are especially good at finding rootkits, keyloggers, trojans, etc? I usually use Windows Defender, and occasionally scan my PC with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes.

Yeah ProcMon is like Wireshark. If you used it even a bit you'll have no problem with the figuring out part.
t. also 90s kid who used p2p stuff like Limewire and EMule a lot so used Wireshark for years after 2010 but it's too tedious for me now
The paranoia will get a better once you get the hang of these programs and understand what your computer does. Atleast that was the case for me.
>Anyway, got any recommendation for virus busters that are especially good at finding rootkits, keyloggers, trojans, etc? >Keyloggers
Keyloggers are processes constantly making logs after all so they should light up both ProcMon and ProcExp like a christmas tree. >Trojans
they should be open processes ready to recieve information, so they should also be something that's in either ProcExp or Autoruns. Unless they are on a timer, in which case it won't ever show up on ProcExp. Still should show up either in Autoruns or your Services (Win+R then "services.msc"). So it's always a good thing to check your Services every so often. The overwhelming majority of viruses are easily located with the programs listed above. >rootkits
Sysinternals also have you covered
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals/downloads/rootkit-revealer
Be aware that if it's a good rootkit and it digs itself way-way down then you're done. It will execute commands before the OS loads so it's virtually impossible to find it. Granted it's an EXTREMELY unlikely event. You probably don't have to worry about those. >I usually use Windows Defender, and occasionally scan my PC with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes
Although Bitdefender is a good program, using secondary anti-virus programs are a really big security hazard. Just use WinDefender. It's more than enough to complement the Sysinternals tools.

How about Limewire? It was always truly the gacha game before gacha games as you never knew if you'll get the actual movie or some lesbian porn (if you're lucky). Which had some charm to it despite how fricking dangerous it was.
Had a small group of schoolmates downloading stuff from limewire constantly and if anyone actually got something that wasn't just gay porn or a virus they'd burn it on a CD and pass it around.
Listen here moron. The DLCs for fallout 4 are all from literally who users who post hyperlinks to not only infected downloads by DL websites with seriously malicious popups.

Did you even check the sites you're lying about? Gofile doesn't have even have popups. In all seriousness, just use gofile whenever you have the chance. >infected downloads
First of all, proof?
For the sake of the argument Let's say you're right (which I really doubt) since I use the site pretty often but it's not impossible that I was just really-really lucky with all my downloads ever since 2012 or whatever. That would still be a single game. You know, something that's called as an isolated incident.
tbh i kinda think after 2022, frequenting Russian websites that you download stuff off of might be a bad idea if you live in the West, it doesnt matter if you personally think Russia should be buried or that Ukraine should cease to exist
I had one before they 'closed down' in like 2012 or so
Now there's zero fricking chance I can get back in without sucking a lot of dicks and I don't play those stupid games
>Now there's zero fricking chance I can get back in without sucking a lot of dicks and I don't play those stupid games
Just do the RED pathway and you'll get access to it. If you play a lot of video games and don't want to ever spend money, then it's worth the time investment to get in.

You join a private tracker, build up your ratio, then you can get an invite to gazelle games. Even the interviews aren't that fricking hard, they lowered the bar so low that any gay that has longer attention span than a goldfish can join. This kind of gatekeeping is necessary considering all the zoomers are fricking subhuman morons that only get their information from youtube videos.
Not him, but how do I upload if my upload speed is bad? I can download whole gigs in less than an hour, but upload is always less than 100 mb/s no matter my settings

Last time people did internet interviews was in early 2000s neckbeard MMORPG guilds. It went out of style fast because of how ridiculous the whole concept is.
Private trackers are moronic. Every vidya makes it to public sites on the day they are cracked, and private trackers don't have Denuvo cracked games either. You suck reddit moderator tier people's dicks for nothing.
>Private trackers are moronic
You get an extra layer of safety thanks to those who moderates your private tracker. You get a community that can help (You) with problems should that happen. You get insanely good speeds because there's atleast 20 data hoarders on a private tracker that dedicates their digital lives to seeding obscure PS2 game or whatever. Private trackers are also safer than public trackers when it comes to identity (if you're a hacker who wants your private info, it's easier to just stick to public trackers then wasting time getting into private domains). >and private trackers don't have Denuvo cracked games either
I don't deny that I've never had a Denuvo cracked game specifically on any of my private trackers faster than a public tracker, I do remember a time when some private servers had their own cracking groups. So there were indeed games that were cracked only such a group about 15 years ago. >inb4 but it's 2024
Which would be true but that's not saying it's impossible that this happens again. We could have an age again when private piracy communities crack (some of) the games on their own, only for it to be redistributed on the same tracker. Who knows what the future brings?
It's better to be part of a private tracker and not need it, than needing a private tracker for something and not being a part of one.

Potentially infected programs. More people downloading a program increases the chance for someone to notice of a program contains unwanted code. Now you can gather information from two places! >use rutracker for over decade
Yeah rutracker is also fine, but that's beside the point. >Why the frick anyone would degrade himself for over 6 months to be on par with free rutracker? >degrade
Please explain this one. How are you being degraded? Are you thinking about the horror stories for public invite private trackers where you have to download music for a year before you can move up to movies perhaps? Not every single private tracker does that bullshit.

Which is why many private trackers use "seeding time" instead of ratio. Atleast the ones I use.
You have to seed every torrent you download for 48 hours. Doesn't matter if anyone downloaded it or not during that period. Unless you have already uploaded around 10TBs in total, in which case you won't have to seed for 48 hours any more.
Only the really shitty trackers use ratio nowadays.
I got permabanned after my seedbox fricked up and they thought I was leeching. I tried to make another account explaining the situation, but they banned that one as well and now they will never let me in again.
Yeah buddy you got me you're really too smart for your own good. Have fun paying 80 dollars for dogshit games because you're too much of a pussy to get your bank info stolen though, homosexual.
Steam DRM is a joke and is only meant to stop normies from copying games for their friends.
You can take the goldberg steam emu .dll from any steam game, edit in the new game's steamID in the .ini file and it works.
I find it's always better to Steamless the game exe first to check if there's SteamStubDRM inside it. I think you need SmartSteamEmu to be able to multiplayer too, if your game has multiplayer
what's smartsteamemu do? goldberg does some magic to make the steam multiplayer server calls go over LAN so you can play multiplayer games with no additional tinkering, it's actually really cool and lets you do stuff like nucleuscoop
I pirate every single Paradox game's DLC so I'm thankful for them always having it up to date. I have a legit steam copy for convenience and workshop but I'm not gonna pay for $900 of DLC across every game, that's insane lmao

Russia's been carrying piracy on its back for the last decade
Without ru.tracker and cs.rin we'd be pretty fricked and we'd only have private trackers

i donwload shit from russians all the time. maybe if you did not support pigs you would know it is all meaningless anyway.
It's been more than a decade now and I still barely see any mass reports of pc getting virus infected from those sites
I guess people slowly trusted .ru sites over time
I swear there was a point what I said was true but yeah that was probably ages ago and the perception changed. Or I'm making up memories. Anyway never gotten so many yous before. I wasn't even trying to shit post how exciting.
Most Russians are based, especially the pirates. It's just the troglodyte in power and his rabid followers that are decidedly not based.
You're on the wrong site, buddy

We stand with russia unlike you hohol loving nafo trannies
I would sooner download from russians than IGG or any major western place. I trust russian shit because if one of their users installs a virus or malware or any fricking thing, they will track that mother fricker down and hang him along with his entire family. They're not pussy ass westcucks.

It reminds me of the 2000's era Internet. Everyone has anime/sport avatars, people give a shit about the quality of their posts, those blocks of copypasta at the end of every forum post (footnotes? I can't remember what they were called). It's a comfy feeling. The feeling of a bygone era.

I know I shouldn't judge the entire site over this but the four times I tried to download something from there it was nothing but dead links. I guess I could've just picked the only four games with dead links but come on. Four times in a row over time and each time RinRu completely failed me.
You are doing it wrong, rutracker is for game downloading and cs.rin.ru is for DLC unlocking for your legit Steam games.
I kid you not, what games you were looking for? I can check rutracker right now

Well I didn't know that. I'll look at it for mostly DLC only then from now on.
Unpopular and small games don't get updated on rutracker
For example unreal world
>rutracker is for game downloading
Not him but I've always used cs.rin plus 2 other sites for my games and have had 0 problems. I'll look into rutracker, thank you
>cs.rin.ru is for DLC unlocking for your legit Steam games.
huh I never tried this out
I did this once for stellaris. I bought the game along time ago, then finally checked in, knowing it had a quintillion dlc. So I just got it off cs.
And good thing too because It's not a very good 4x all and all. I don't regret paying the base price for the game, but I would have been might upset if I actually bought the dlc.
It's useful if you want to pirate DLC since those links are usually rather fresh but otherwise it's kinda useless
The links are always going to be dead after a while since they don't bother to mirror them. It's good if you're pirating a game that came out right now and is getting updates, or if you want to keep up with info on the piracy about a game, but otherwise it's not useful for most people. You're going to need to look elsewhere if you want updates and DLC patches for older games.
>I know I shouldn't judge the entire site over this but the four times I tried to download something from there it was nothing but dead links.
Yeah links usually go dead after a while. Especially now since Zippyshare was shuttered down and atleast 50% of all cracks were uploaded there. Just do some basic Forum 101: always check the latest entries in a thread before you follow any links.
Probably has something to do with the newest """actions""" that have been happening recently.

It's always funny to see this. Usually it's those who are incapable of manually searching for viruses without an anti-virus or such software are the most gullible. Come to think of it, why wouldn't they? The most common reaction to the unknown is irrational fear.
They often do get malwares in their pc because they are moronic and download from fake site or ads.
humanity is regressing and getting dumber by the day

Enlighten me. How would I do this? Where do I start? Any resources you can point me to search, please?
Sure thing anon.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
It's an official devkit for windows made by microsoft. Now this is by no means the only thing that can do the trick but it's definitely among the safest and easiest ways.
>inb4 what do you mean by safe
meaning that the programs know what processes are from microsoft so unless you are literally moronic you probably won't kill essential stuff but be careful nevertheless if this is your first time doing this kind of thing. Obviously run everything as admin.
There are a bunch of cool stuff here but what you are looking for are:
>Autoruns
This is your trusty handgun. Good for a specific role but not enough on it's own.
This handy program lists everything that starts up alongside your machine. Now you can finally find and kill that fricking Microsoft Edge updater that leeches off your RAM every time you boot up. Also good for finding things that shouldn't start up alongside your PC, like viruses or spyware.
>Process Explorer
This is your swiss army knife. Use it for everything.
Lists EVERYTHING that's currently running on your PC. Handy for finding processes that shouldn't be running. You can also submit hash information to virustotal directly from the application so you can scan files easily. It also lists what addresses some processes try to reach so you can find programs that tries to call home without your approval.
>Process Monitor
This is your fricking personal long range artillery that levels the entire battlefield.
Lists EVERYTHING your computer does. What files are being looked at and by whom. Exactly where programs are saving files/logs/whatever. What they are doing with it, etc. Bit confusing at first but not that hard to get into. Very-very powerful.
>DiskMon
Going with the weapon metaphor, this is a tank. Not as good as the field artillery but it's great if you learn how to use it.
Tells you exactly what's being written on your hard drives. Experts only
>that fricking Microsoft Edge updater
I knew there was something up with that even though I never used Edge! I remember looking up how to kill Adobe ARM and the Acrobat startup updaters, and that random Copilot AI thing, and maybe a couple others. I forgot all the registry changes and such I did in the past in the process.
Thank you for both the link and the concise explanations. Impressive delivery. I am not home right now so I cannot do these yet, but I will save the info and any relevant program downloads for when I get new computers too
No worries anon, happy to help. Best of luck on starting your manual anti-virus journey. Yeah Adobe is also one of those ridiculously persistent bullshit that uses way too much resources. Just turn it off in the previously mentioned Autoruns and you're good to go. To be completely sure however, I encourage you to open your Services settings, find anything with "Adobe" in its name for example and disable it for good measure.
>I forgot all the registry changes and such I did in the past in the process.
I also encourage you to try out Privatezilla
https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla
if you are installing win10 (or 11) often. It's a great bloat remover. It is also a complete telemetry stopper for windows 10 if you're like me who cares about that sort of thing.
>privatezilla
Back when I got this laptop, I used this
https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater
I'll look into this privatezilla thing later then. Thank you
>Process Explorer
>Process monitor
NTA. I'm moronic. How exactly do i determine what smells of shit in this?
I thought a ton of svchost files were those but virustotal says they're safe, so i have no idea the frick i should do.
>NTA. I'm moronic.
No worries anon. We all started somewhere.
>How exactly do i determine what smells of shit in this?
Let's start with Process Explorer.
It varies from program to program. If you want to go through all the runtimebrokers and the svchosts you'll have to:
>rightclick -> properties
>check if the Path is correct (for scvhost should be C:WindowsSystem32svchost.exe)
>find the Command line (directly below)
>google it if that's something your PC should do
Google is going to be your best friend for system processes. Search until you find what that process does and if that should be something that your PC does.
But if I'm honest, you probably don't have to worry about svchost at all.
For non-microsoft processes, it should be more or less obvious and easy. First sort by "Company Name" so you can ignore the stuff from Microsoft. Then quickly skim through all the apps and check if there's something you don't think that should belong. Like a program with russian or chinese letters (likely a virus), or something that's a mainstream/microsoft program typo (like discrod.exe instead of discord.exe for example). Check the different tabs like the Enviroment or TCP/IP (and look for anything that really feels out of place when compared to other programs). Google anything when unsure.
Be aware that things like Interrupts, Registry, System Idle Process and so on are not listed under Microsoft but they are still part of your system. Still it can be a good idea to check their Paths to see if that's what it should be.
Next, add the Network columns to the program like Recieve Bytes and Send Bytes. If anything sends information out from your computer that shouldn't (like some program with chinese characters in it or something) then it's also an indication that it's doing something sketchy.
Spend some time looking through the programs and you'll get the hang of it.
Also, it's likely you don't have any viruses on your PC but it's nice to check every so often.
Thank you!! Not that anon but I was always curious about these things.
Happy to help.
Always better to know your way around the machine we spend so much time on. It's also a (mostly) surefire way to find out if a program does sketchy things or not. Like FitGirl. A lot of anons are crying about viruses but they are just morons. You can inspect what it does with ProcExp and ProcMon and it will come up clean.
People are usually just afraid of things they don't understand.
or they are trying to gatekeep others from discovering actually safe pirate sources, in which case, whoops
continued with Process Monitor
This one is much harder, but not DiskMon level hard. With ProcExp, you know what's running on your PC but if you want to know WHAT it does, now you need ProcMon.
So this program is like a log. It captures every process attempt on your hard drives. You won't just open it and look through it all because it's fricking massive. It's accurate down to miliseconds.
So you start a program you want to understand, let it do it's thing for a while, then stop the capture (button looks like a cropping tool in photoshop). You can use the filter or the search function to help whatever you want to look up.
Picrel is an example of fricking NVIDIA being a resource hog constantly creating and accessing logs but I can't do anything about it because it's linked with the core nvidia services. So it's a good example to show off.
So, you run ProcMon, start the program, stop the capture when you want to, filter the results so you only see your desired program's stuff.
If it tries to constantly snoop around where it shouldn't belong (like windows folders, personal folders, opening channels to unknown IP addresses, etc.) then you might have a program that does shady shit.
This is how you get evidence for modern programs being spyware. It's how I found evidence for Epic trying to spy on me for example. If you install the EGS and whenever you start the program, it will sweep your PC looking for Steam and other game platforms for example. Pretty nasty stuff.
Thanks for the guides anon.
Not the guy you were originally talking to, but I also did something similar with Wireshark and tried to find out what programs are accessing the internet, with more or less success.
I'm a bit paranoid about trojans stealing my credit card, as I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s when those things become big and every nerd was trolling other kids in the class with Sub7 and Backorifice.
Anyway, got any recommendation for virus busters that are especially good at finding rootkits, keyloggers, trojans, etc? I usually use Windows Defender, and occasionally scan my PC with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes.
Sure thing anon, glad to help.
>I also did something similar with Wireshark and tried to find out what programs are accessing the internet
Yeah ProcMon is like Wireshark. If you used it even a bit you'll have no problem with the figuring out part.
t. also 90s kid who used p2p stuff like Limewire and EMule a lot so used Wireshark for years after 2010 but it's too tedious for me now
The paranoia will get a better once you get the hang of these programs and understand what your computer does. Atleast that was the case for me.
>Anyway, got any recommendation for virus busters that are especially good at finding rootkits, keyloggers, trojans, etc?
>Keyloggers
Keyloggers are processes constantly making logs after all so they should light up both ProcMon and ProcExp like a christmas tree.
>Trojans
they should be open processes ready to recieve information, so they should also be something that's in either ProcExp or Autoruns. Unless they are on a timer, in which case it won't ever show up on ProcExp. Still should show up either in Autoruns or your Services (Win+R then "services.msc"). So it's always a good thing to check your Services every so often. The overwhelming majority of viruses are easily located with the programs listed above.
>rootkits
Sysinternals also have you covered
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals/downloads/rootkit-revealer
Be aware that if it's a good rootkit and it digs itself way-way down then you're done. It will execute commands before the OS loads so it's virtually impossible to find it. Granted it's an EXTREMELY unlikely event. You probably don't have to worry about those.
>I usually use Windows Defender, and occasionally scan my PC with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes
Although Bitdefender is a good program, using secondary anti-virus programs are a really big security hazard. Just use WinDefender. It's more than enough to complement the Sysinternals tools.
Thanks
Thanks for these
I will trust a random russian software pirate on the internet over a israelited western company any fricking time of the day.
Never got any viruses from cs.rin or rutracker. Many mainstream israelite games comes with a rootkit, spies on you, phones home, etc.
You Black folk do not remember kaaza and how easy it was to download infected files, i will never trust cracked game uploaded 1h ago by god knows who
>kaaza
How about Limewire? It was always truly the gacha game before gacha games as you never knew if you'll get the actual movie or some lesbian porn (if you're lucky). Which had some charm to it despite how fricking dangerous it was.
Had a small group of schoolmates downloading stuff from limewire constantly and if anyone actually got something that wasn't just gay porn or a virus they'd burn it on a CD and pass it around.
Virus ridden shithole. Good riddance
>Virus ridden

Listen here moron. The DLCs for fallout 4 are all from literally who users who post hyperlinks to not only infected downloads by DL websites with seriously malicious popups.

Did you even check the sites you're lying about? Gofile doesn't have even have popups. In all seriousness, just use gofile whenever you have the chance.
>infected downloads
First of all, proof?
For the sake of the argument Let's say you're right (which I really doubt) since I use the site pretty often but it's not impossible that I was just really-really lucky with all my downloads ever since 2012 or whatever. That would still be a single game. You know, something that's called as an isolated incident.
jewtin sent the creators to die and get replaced by africans
why are you so obsessed with Black folk
tbh i kinda think after 2022, frequenting Russian websites that you download stuff off of might be a bad idea if you live in the West, it doesnt matter if you personally think Russia should be buried or that Ukraine should cease to exist
imagine not having a gazellegames account in 2024. kinda sad really.
I had one before they 'closed down' in like 2012 or so
Now there's zero fricking chance I can get back in without sucking a lot of dicks and I don't play those stupid games
>Now there's zero fricking chance I can get back in without sucking a lot of dicks and I don't play those stupid games
Just do the RED pathway and you'll get access to it. If you play a lot of video games and don't want to ever spend money, then it's worth the time investment to get in.
>Just do the RED pathway
sounds like sucking people's dicks
If it involves marketing myself like I'm applying for a fricking job or climbing a pyramid of invites for months they can frick off forever
>sounds like sucking people's dicks
You join a private tracker, build up your ratio, then you can get an invite to gazelle games. Even the interviews aren't that fricking hard, they lowered the bar so low that any gay that has longer attention span than a goldfish can join. This kind of gatekeeping is necessary considering all the zoomers are fricking subhuman morons that only get their information from youtube videos.
Not him, but how do I upload if my upload speed is bad? I can download whole gigs in less than an hour, but upload is always less than 100 mb/s no matter my settings
lol what the frick. I googled what you meant by it
>do a fricking interview to join the RED tracker
>be a good goy for half a year, build a good ratio
>then MAYBE you'll get invited to gayzelle
Last time people did internet interviews was in early 2000s neckbeard MMORPG guilds. It went out of style fast because of how ridiculous the whole concept is.
Private trackers are moronic. Every vidya makes it to public sites on the day they are cracked, and private trackers don't have Denuvo cracked games either. You suck reddit moderator tier people's dicks for nothing.
>Private trackers are moronic
You get an extra layer of safety thanks to those who moderates your private tracker. You get a community that can help (You) with problems should that happen. You get insanely good speeds because there's atleast 20 data hoarders on a private tracker that dedicates their digital lives to seeding obscure PS2 game or whatever. Private trackers are also safer than public trackers when it comes to identity (if you're a hacker who wants your private info, it's easier to just stick to public trackers then wasting time getting into private domains).
>and private trackers don't have Denuvo cracked games either
I don't deny that I've never had a Denuvo cracked game specifically on any of my private trackers faster than a public tracker, I do remember a time when some private servers had their own cracking groups. So there were indeed games that were cracked only such a group about 15 years ago.
>inb4 but it's 2024
Which would be true but that's not saying it's impossible that this happens again. We could have an age again when private piracy communities crack (some of) the games on their own, only for it to be redistributed on the same tracker. Who knows what the future brings?
It's better to be part of a private tracker and not need it, than needing a private tracker for something and not being a part of one.
>You get an extra layer of safety thanks to those who moderates your private tracker.
Safety from what?
>use rutracker for over decade
>no issues whatsoever
Why the frick anyone would degrade himself for over 6 months to be on par with free rutracker? Some people are beyond my comprehension
>Safety from what?
Potentially infected programs. More people downloading a program increases the chance for someone to notice of a program contains unwanted code. Now you can gather information from two places!
>use rutracker for over decade
Yeah rutracker is also fine, but that's beside the point.
>Why the frick anyone would degrade himself for over 6 months to be on par with free rutracker?
>degrade
Please explain this one. How are you being degraded? Are you thinking about the horror stories for public invite private trackers where you have to download music for a year before you can move up to movies perhaps? Not every single private tracker does that bullshit.
>seeding
That's how, ratio is from 00's when internet was slow and limited, nowadays internet is fast and limitless, there is absolutely no reason to care about anyone ratio.
>That's how, ratio is from 00's when internet was slow and limited, nowadays internet is fast and limitless, there is absolutely no reason to care about anyone ratio.
Which is why many private trackers use "seeding time" instead of ratio. Atleast the ones I use.
You have to seed every torrent you download for 48 hours. Doesn't matter if anyone downloaded it or not during that period. Unless you have already uploaded around 10TBs in total, in which case you won't have to seed for 48 hours any more.
Only the really shitty trackers use ratio nowadays.
I got permabanned after my seedbox fricked up and they thought I was leeching. I tried to make another account explaining the situation, but they banned that one as well and now they will never let me in again.

works for me
so is steam DRM super relaxed or does it just seem that way because goldberg is heavy lifting?
Steam DRM is a joke and is only meant to stop normies from copying games for their friends.
You can take the goldberg steam emu .dll from any steam game, edit in the new game's steamID in the .ini file and it works.
I find it's always better to Steamless the game exe first to check if there's SteamStubDRM inside it. I think you need SmartSteamEmu to be able to multiplayer too, if your game has multiplayer
what's smartsteamemu do? goldberg does some magic to make the steam multiplayer server calls go over LAN so you can play multiplayer games with no additional tinkering, it's actually really cool and lets you do stuff like nucleuscoop
I pirate every single Paradox game's DLC so I'm thankful for them always having it up to date. I have a legit steam copy for convenience and workshop but I'm not gonna pay for $900 of DLC across every game, that's insane lmao
bros I am worried zoomers aren't learning to pirate
if they don't inherit the philosophy of piracy, the internet will be so much worse off for it
if zoomers don't pirate then developers might stop caring about it and we may fly under the radar like in the good old times
This is a valid point, for once the zoomers ignorance is a benefit.
