You call it thievery, I call it reverse engineering. One is illegal, the other isn't (take a guess which one applies to each option).
Think what you will, but even if you're doing only what you claim... hacking proprietary software for just your own "curiosity"... it's a crime, and you can go to prison.

So good luck with that.

You might want to do you own research on that aspect, I don't have the patience to do it for you. I'm not redistributing or personally using, reverse engineering is a completely legal process. How about we get back on topic.

Actually, I do have one more point to make to completely disprove your argument....

UpRev had to reverse engineer Nissan's kernel in order to create a software to flash. Reverse engineering is an essential part of creating a tuning suite, so if I'm a "thief" then so is UpRev. The difference is I don't consider UpRev a thief, I consider them people who reverse engineered something and then recreated their own version of it. I did half of that.

The moral of this story is your argument is invalid.

Everyone will always try to justify their own actions.

How about we end this eternal battle of trying to get in the last post. Obviously our opinions aren't changing.

blizzard sounda like my kind of people..seymore not so much. I hacked my flir e4 thermal imager because it could be done and was fun...the hack was for entertainment.

btw i hate uprev reflashes but blizzard has me interested in these msil injections.

i took a stab at the haltech password lock...i could change the password to whatever i wanted but could not unscramble the ecu map properly...yet. all for fun of course.
