Ban policy
Dear all,
Please note that starting with the latest version the users of hacks targeting TurboHUD will be banned:
- Chinese hacks
- pHelper
What I did:
- I managed to decompile the source code of pHelper and now I know how it works.
- I improved tamper detection of the TurboHUD.exe
- I made harder to tamper with the TurboHUD.exe
- I made harder to decompile the TurboHUD.exe
What I do:
- I collect the btag hashes during this season and from next season (or maybe before) HUD will not work for those who are blacklisted. Ever.
- your "ban token" is sent to me in random times, so you will probably sit looong hours in front of WireShark to find it
- your ban is not applied immediately. In fact currently I am just collecting the tokens and ban all the hackers in a wave. Thank you for the idea, Blizzard!
What I will do:
- at a random point of time and space I'll ban the users behind the ban tokens and you can't start TurboHUD anymore using your Diablo account
- start working on a MUCH more serious tamper detection involving dynamic code generation to prevent the "Chinese hack" working anymore
- if I fail with the previous point then I'll ban the whole Chinese battle.net realm from HUD for good.
What I can't do:
- The hashes are salted with an ingame identifier of your account so there is no way I can read the battletag of the banned people from the ban tokens.
- So your privacy is safe - do not even try to come with GDPR to me because I have no personal data about you.
Why?
- upgrading HUD when a D3 patch is released takes a few hours, but
- I spent a full weekend away from my family - during this bloody COVID - sitting in front of my PC to ban the bloody hacks somehow.
- I almost failed and I am not even sure these measure will work a few weeks later
- if these bans will work and people stop hacking then I promise, everything will continue as it was: HUD users are happy, everybody is happy, except the hackers, and I finally can rest and move on with my life
- if these bans will not work then I am done. Let's hope the hackers can and will patch HUD before next season starts (if they can, then I have a guess: you will have to pay for it)
If you don't agree with the measures above, then stop using TurboHUD.
Thank you for your understanding!
KJ.

Might be a dumb question, but what in all 9 worlds is a "pHelper"?

Is is not working like this. One thing that you create an awesome tool and breaking the law is completely other. You can be sued for that, get a trial, everything. It is a serious rule in EU. If you skip it its something like you steal for example.

If TH disappears, so will pHelper
Drastic solution: if a single person is detected using pHelper, TH could be disabled for everyone. There is no longer a need to send private data anywhere.

no, because by starting HUD you will accept
a) you don't use phelper, and
b) if you do, it will send your btag hash to me

hmm, I do not know what phelper is and what kind of program it is, I became interested and Yandex told me that this is a type of app for devices bypassing the playmarket. but something tells me that this is not the case, this is not the case at all, and I can not catch the connection between the turbo hood and the mobile app.
