tain Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Dear co-operating techs,EFF is looking for a talented Windows admin or hacker to assist anoutside law firm with some research into Sony's SecuROM v.7 DRM system.It is known that SecuROM refuses to operate with some anti-virussoftware installed (or, at least, some modes of operation for someanti-virus software), and that it blacklists some CD burning software.The research would involve figuring out precisely what AV softwareSecuROM prevent users from running, and whether it blacklists any CDtools that are not explicitly piratical.Information about any situations where SecuROM hooks actually breakother software would be extremely interesting, although we have not seenany likely reports of this occurring at present.A second question is related the complexity of uninstalling SecuROM.What barriers does SecuROM place to uninstallation?Lastly, any information about vulnerabilities caused by the presence ofSecuROM on a system would be extremely interesting.If you are interested, please contact Peter Eckersley at pde@eff.org.

Tripredacus Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've had some dealings with SecuROM when I was helping a friend diagnose why his NHL08 game wouldn't run. SecuROM also doesn't like SysInternal's Filemon or Procexp, both of which I attempted to use to find a solution but came up with none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
