StarForce is very hard to crack, StarForce also uses several "dirty" ways of implementing protection. Some of which can be somewhat considered a form of Malware/rootkit.

Though SF Team will argue that (only normal for them to argue it)

It has been posted across several tech sites on the way it works and how it does its job the "dirty" way.

SF is installed on system level Ring 0, it allows complete control of User Level and Admin level controls. It can on the fly change permissions in registry, files, ect..

It also because it is installed on system level Ring 0, has anti debugging running 24/7, meaning even if your not running a SF game, you cannot debug it in any normal way. Very good cracking groups have cracked some older versions, but the new ones are atm, very time consuming and very hard to crack.

In order to debug on the system, you have to remove the StarForce drivers to do so. Which is also a pain in the ass for developers. But SF is not put onto a game until it is produced in the factory using the Glass Master (Gold Disc) That is where the actual protection is placed onto the CD and placed into the files.

SF Team are up to other dirty things as well, check out some tech reviews of Safe'N'Sec
