Rehabilitation of cheaters.

I was asking here about decrypting password-protected saves. I browsed the forum and almost immediately found/remembered it. This happened even before my last departure to real life. Back then, passwords were just introduced. And shortly after that, DSquared was banned for maphacking directly related to password-protected saves. May-June 2013. /topic/10397/ So, essentially, the Community acknowledged the existence of maphacking back then, 4 years ago. And as far as I understand, nothing has changed since then? No information has been discovered on how exactly maphacking works, and passwords haven't been improved? (Well, the second point is clear – what’s the point in improving them if maphacking might bypass them altogether). P.S. And the first point is also clear))) Even if they did discover something, what's the point in revealing it? So basically, I'm rephrasing my question: Is everything still as it was?

Yes. And why am I asking again? Because regarding the DSquared case, there were only two ideas about how maphacking could work - and neither of them involved actually cracking the passwords; they bypassed them.
Of these two ideas (I won't write here what they are), one seems more plausible to me than the other. Although I don't know how it works technically, I may know how it can be fixed at an idea level.
Although it seems like a dead end – just copy the save file elsewhere and decrypt it there. But maybe this loophole can still be closed. (Maybe not :D)
