Well, it became clear after the second attempt that the person doesn't know what "boosting" is.
BLUR, before you start talking about who is cheating and where, you should check this out:

So far, you've only managed to show that 1) you don't know the basics of the game's math, and 2) you think you have a lot of experience in the game.
You need to learn, learn, and learn again.

So, what about Silent Hill? Did he get split up, and where did he get the password?

I responded based on the army composition before the battle. If you look at the whole situation afterward, I didn't understand Butch correctly. But it was something that needed to be seen: the demoralization on one side and the morale boost on the other, and what it leads to. Now I'll at least record a stream, if not stream it, because otherwise, anyone can essentially claim a win without proof, having a larger army and better stats, without actually participating in the battle and simply leaving the game before the outcome is saved.

I will provide the save file with my password to anyone who wants it....
You can take it and replay it yourself; they will all fall easily with a simple counterattack.

Just take it and replay, they will all fall easily in the next attempt.

This is a difficult case. You still don't understand after 3 attempts what I'm trying to convey. No one was going to waste time on you. Sitting in a castle for 3 rounds, hiding behind towers and archers. When you had 3 demoralized stacks ready to strike in those 3 rounds. I think others understood what demoralization and morale are. I'm done. We already resolved this issue a long time ago. This is a different topic. Do you have any questions about the main topic, not about the battle? Then please end this circus.

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)

I don't know how the save files are structured, but I think that if it's full RSA encryption of the entire file, there's no way to bypass it, except for a simple brute-force password attempt... So, just increase the entropy and don't use "111" or "aaa" as passwords.

I’ll reiterate for :smile14: – at least two mapmaking ideas were suggested four years ago, and both of them didn’t involve hacking the password. I brought up this topic with another question (and even if there’s no answer to it, that will still be a requested answer). But please, don’t answer a question that wasn’t asked or just ramble on about irrelevant things (and I won’t immediately point that out in response). :smile30:

Well, go ahead and share these ideas so we can discuss them, because those who are "not in the know" won't understand what you're talking about. And if you don't want to receive replies on the general forum, you have the option to write to Baratorch directly and ask him if he has fixed anything related to your specific question. :smile30:

I will share it when I deem it necessary, and with those I deem worthy. Your suggestion to discuss the protection system here is like asking the author of password generation for save files to explain how they work to everyone on the forum. It's absurd and pointless. And of course, I want to receive answers, but if I ask a question, I want the answer to be relevant to the question I asked. In short, Programmer, let's end this dialogue; I'm already bored, and you clearly don't understand. I'll wait for someone who can answer my question, if I'm lucky. If you continue to write such nonsense, you won't get a response from me.

From the series "let's end the dialogue, but the last word is mine":D
Okay, don't answer, but I'll have my say. This is a public place, and you're going to discuss some secret things here that are known to a small circle of people (and actually, only one person - Baratorch), and you're upset that someone asked you a question about something that wasn't clear to them.
And instead of explaining it to him, you shut him up...
It's just bad manners...

And yes, in advanced technologies, the security system is essentially ALWAYS open. Only the key should be closed! Hiding the encryption system is an indicator of its vulnerability.

And yes, in cutting-edge technologies, the security system is essentially ALWAYS open. Only the key should be closed! Hiding the encryption system is an indicator of its vulnerability.

But that's not the case; read about fully homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs.

Plus, the vast majority of computer systems are proprietary and even obfuscated (serious systems - SCADA, ATMs, OS kernels, for example, not just computer games).

I'm in shock. I completely agree that cheating should be punished severely! But! I'm not familiar with Katerina, but after 5 years (5 years, for crying out loud!!), she could have been forgiven and given another chance. Moreover, as I've seen, she's not an insignificant person in the Heroes community; she's still actively involved in it (which is surprising) – see the reports from the last CIS event in Volgograd.

Sir Davos, this looks like a fart in a puddle, did you first ask Ekaterina whether she needs it herself and whether she plans to play on ХВ?)

Not bad at all in his approach :D

As I mentioned above, I am completely unfamiliar with it. I just saw a message today in the top section: "Arranging HOMM3 online games!" And a black mark under the avatar with a date from 2012.
