/r/ locked files
The method I've found for removing the site locks on files seems to be working reliably on all
versions of Actionscript, and I'm on track to implement it in Flashbulb, but just to be sure I'm
interested in any files you guys know of that are locked to specific websites. The more
sophisticated the protection scheme, the better.
Files that I know of: Gyossait, Rhythm Doctor, Aching Dreams, anything by Adam Phillips (Bitey of
Brackenwood series). The one file I haven't been able to beat so far is Robokill, which apparently
dials home to check the player's email against a list of registered users. Everything else is
pretty basic, just "if(flash_url != my_url)do_something_obnoxious();". Sometimes repeated 100 times
throughout the file.
If all goes well it'll be in Flashbulb and released within a few days.

Cool, nice work. I seem to remember vvvvvv.swf being domain-locked, though there is a version that
works on 4chan: http://swfchan.com/16/79010/?vvvvvv_beta1_4chan_release.swf
Been wondering if that was a hack or if the creator made that 4chan-enabled version himself. The
flash seems to also work on swfchan so maybe it just checks if the URL has "chan" in it?

Oh right. That one definitely wasn't the author -- he had a meltdown when it happened, because it
was virtually the full version of a game he was planning on selling.

As far as I remember, Burrito Bison 2 is also sitelocked to kongregate, like most of their newer
games supposedly.

I’m going to do. Nothing, I guess. There’s nothing I can do. I’m pretty upset.

I’m a bit behind schedule…

list is final. If you still wanna preorder though, that’s fine. I’m working as fast as I can to get
this out.
nice bit of history there. 5.5 years ago, time flies. quoting that post since a blog post that old
might suddenly disappear one day

It seems that whoever hacked http://swfchan.com/16/79010/?vvvvvv_beta1_4chan_release.swf did it by
changing the URL to just the filename, making it so the game will load when on any website as long
as it has that exact name. But only when online -- it can't be played locally.
Ironically, my lock detection misses it because it doesn't actually include a URL. Not going to
worry about it since there's a properly cracked v1.2 at http://swfchan.com/26/127730/?vvvvvv_full.
swf (though it won't work in embedded mode here).
The AS1/2 unlock function is working great in Flashbulb, currently working the bugs out of the AS3
one. Only failure I've had with the AS1/AS2 one is on http://swfchan.com/4/18516/?Bitey_Castle_-
_Brackenwood_-_Part_1_-_LittleFoot.swf , which unlocks but inexplicably thinks my Flash player is
below version 8. Burrito Bison 2 (AS3) unlocks fine.

Turns out Littlefoot wasn't my fault, but incompetent coding on the part of the author. The version
is returned as a string, which he took the first digit of, so "18.0.0.194" is considered to be
version 1. The file only worked until Flash 10 came out.
Buuut it turns out Burrito Bison Revenge only unlocks for local play. I'm going to have to properly
implement Actionscript 3 decompilation to get newer files to work in a reliable way.
The latest version of Flashbulb is up if anyone wants to experiment with it.
