Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.

Is there a nomination for "Most releases / updates per hour" award?

Don't complain goddamn. He's doing a huge contribution - and helping ALOT.
Good job Cypher, as usual. +3

Started adding scripting support (Lua).

Current ManualMap implementation now working on x64 (i.e. for x64 targets with x64 DLLs). I should now be able to retain it from this point onwards.

Yes! Thanks Cypher I love HadesMem.

Fixed a critical bug in MemoryMgr::Call. Should now work as expected.
Fixed a critical bug in Proces::Process(DWORD). Should now work as expected.
Modified and improved API and implementation of Injector to make them both cleaner, simpler, and easier to use.
Improved implementation of Scanner. Still needs work, but it's getting there slowly.
Various other miscellaneous bug fixes, changes, and improvements.

HadesMem is released under the GPLv3* and the project is currently hosted at Google Code.

* Please note that this means it may NOT be used in any closed-source commercial applications (so if you're a cheat seller, too bad). I will re-license to you it upon request though if you have a good reason.

how does this stop cheat sellers from using ur code?
great job anyway

If you're using gpled code in a closed source app the FSF will send their ninjas to kill you.

Luck for the thieves it's no Linux Code, else those would attack:

Started work on IAT hooking class. Still a work in progress but current implementation works as expected.
Fixed a couple of bugs (including one important one affecting MemoryMgr::Read for string types, if you had troubles previously please try again now).

Technically, it only stops the distribution of non-GPL licensed bots. It would be perfectly legal to sell a bot that uses HadesMem, as long as you provide the full source code, licensed with the GPL. Nobody would buy it of course. If a non-GPL licensed bot uses this library, Cypher's chances to win in court are very high.

By June 2006, the project has hit the magic "100 cases finished" mark, at an exciting equal "100% legal success" mark. Every GPL infringement that we started to enforce was resolved in a legal success, either in-court or out of court.

The culprit would most likely have to provide the full source code of his bot and at least pay for all the legal charges.

who talks about courts, you just use it and don't tell anyone

It would be VERY easy for me (or any other reverser) to identify that someone is using my library in their code.

You're free to use it as much as you want privately, there's nothing in the GPL stopping you from doing that.

However good luck getting away with using it illegitimately in a public cheat, there are always LOTS of eyes on those (anti-cheat writers looking for weaknesses, cheat users checking for malware, independent researchers looking for weaknesses/implementation-details/whatever, etc). Someone is going to notice, it's pretty much guaranteed.

At any rate, talk of courts is definitely a bit silly. Typically situations like that (assuming that multi-million dollar corporations aren't involved :P) are resolved with a polite email and an agreement between the developer(s) and the offender.

EDIT:

Also, as I've already stated, I'm happy to re-license it upon request (assuming the terms are reasonable). I'm simply using the GPL as the primary license because it encourages (read: forces) people to 'give back' to open source when they otherwise wouldn't.
