Linux Cracking Bible - The GNU Testament

Heyo, I recently posted some notes about cracking games on Linux. Those notes originally started as a reply to someone, but they evolved into more of a small treasure map for a lot of the important parts of cracking games on Linux. As I finished up the post, I noticed that it was almost exactly at the maximum length it could be on Lemmy (10k characters). I kept wanting to come back and expand just a little bit on something in that post but anything over 10k characters would not save. I eventually got so annoyed that one thing led to another and now I actually have a proper bible, this time at 100k characters.

The GNU Testament of the Linux Cracking Bible is located on GitHub: github.com/YoteZip/LinuxCrackingBible

A brief list of topics covered in it:

Configuring Lutris
Configuring Wine
Sourcing clean games

Step-by-step guides for cracking each type of popular DRM using community tools:

Some of my personal scripts for automated cracking
Repacking games on Linux

My primary goals for this guide are to:

Demystify cracked gaming on Linux
Teach you to crack games by yourself, instead of relying on scene/p2p crackers

(Although it’s written primarily for Linux users, Windows users should be able to follow along fairly easily for the cracking guides.)
