[Protection] Steam CEG

Open TheRogueArchivist opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

We currently detect some forms of Steam, but not Steam CEG specifically. It worked by modifying Steam game executables to customize the protection on a per-computer basis.

This can apparently be detected by a "steamstart" string inside the executable. On http://redump.org/disc/111636/ it's present at around line 0212F060. STEAM_DRM_IPC might also be related

On Redump it seems to currently be called Valve CEG. Should be found in Steam games released between 2009 and 2014.

Same game as above but now activated using Steam (and my account). The STEAMSTART and STEAM_DRM_IPC info is located inside the .rdata portion of the exe
