   The r*dditors are continuing to be retarded.

   This time, they're saying that Wireshark can read encrypted traffic because it's not being "impeded".

     @r000t @shrimp I have little to no context on really any of this except for reading the source of the thing you just posted but it just sounds like you're fighting with a script kiddie who wants clout
     
     I mean, they don't call me Captain Obvious for nothing.

     He's also said "let's just inspect the code" to the anticheat. Gosh golly, why didn't we think of that?

     I asked him if he's got a github link or sth. He fell for it hook line and sinker.

     He posted the April Fool's joke riot put on github.

     "Deputy Director Bullock! The terror cell is using an end-to-end encrypted messenger! We cannot decrypt their communications on the wire!"

     *slaps* "Get ahold of yourself, Smith! We will simply use Wireshark! It is entirely passive, therefore it will not impede their traffic!"

     @r000t The linked source main.c appears to actually be the main.c file from one version of vanguard, but of course that's nothing but a kludge that jumps to the rootkit, which is provided in binary form.
     
     Of course, your typically reddit poster opens the repo and sees the main.c file and assumes that such is "open source".
     
     
     Seeing that https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RiotVanguard/Vanguard/main/LICENSE is a copy of the GPLv2 and a compiled version of the kernel driver is provided here; https://github.com/RiotVanguard/Vanguard/raw/main/Compiled/AMD64/Vanguard.sys they've given permission to reverse engineer that module (too bad it clearly downloads the rest of the module over the internet, seeing how it's "only" 22.3 KiB) and although it's the downloaders duty to demand the source code of that kernel module under the GPLv2, too bad riot is lying about the license.
