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

To build it just run: make

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!

Edit history:

Uploaded update with more hooks because I just noticed family sharig still killed some games
Added a config file to ~/.config/SLSsteam/config.yaml
Fixed a bug in the config creation code (I was tired okay :D)
Changed some config names, please delete your old config to regenerate it. Otherwise default values will be used
Added Experimental config option to force the play button to be enabled

You're not going to stop them from getting worse, and nothing the rest of us do can either, short of overthrowing the companies, and ending capitalism. Something that ultimately isn't likely to happen any time soon. What you're forgetting here is that when I say companies use abuse as an excuse I really mean the excuse part. They'll say it's happening even if it's not significant, and they'll say it's happening even if it isn't happening at all. If they get tired of the courtesy and want to go back to making more money they'll lie and say they're ending it because of abuse and people who do blame pirates will eat that excuse up even if it's a lie and begin attacking pirates for it, like they always do. Do you see it yet?
