Yep - same use case, too. I'll keep persisting and see if I can get through.

You could be a crypto bro on a Raspberry Pi.

Hell, someone might finally max out Flight Simulator X.

Then ye be needin' a crew. Argh!

Yep! And I bet it'll turn out in a few decades that it will come out they were also behind the Doomerism we're seeing a lot of on social media these days. "Well it's too late so why try?" Is much more comfortable than "We have to sacrifice a lot of comfort, but if we all try really hard we can do it."

Weird thought, you ever think oil executives have nightmares about a global collective wanting to bring them to the guillotine?

Virtual machine testing is a good idea, but I wouldn't rely on it. Well written malware will check for a virtual environment and might even hold off executing if it detects it. Better malware will have already gained persistence as your testing for it.

That's a paddlin'.

You can find plenty of bootleg printer ink around, you just have to ensure you have a printer that isn't locked to the manufacturers ink.

First, I should note that I haven't come across (Readium?) LCP before - so I don't have experience with this particular method for DRM - I do however like to play with these sorts of things and have definitely come across some similar methods, etc.

I found a similar tool on GitHub which may help you to better understand what the process is for figuring out something like LCP: lcp-decrypt. I'm not sure how fresh your knowledge is on encryption - but it would help to have some knowledge of the process you're trying to reverse engineer.

If you happen to find a sample with of non-copyrighted material that has some sort of encryption you'd like examined, I'd be happy to have a look for educational purposes.

Thank you for sharing your nutsac. I've been looking for a good one to play with for a while now and I just know I'm going to have fun with this one! My kids are gonna love this!

Oh my god, I've just realised how much of my life has passed. Similar timeline to you. I'm starting to think my kids will be teenagers by the time it comes out.

There's even a chance, if the time between releases increases, I might not make it to the next one after this.

Reddit's unwavering stubbornness to continue spiraling is just plain sad. What a way to go.
