DayZ Key Backdoor

[[email protected] 0]

A common keystealer that is going around which provides keys to shops on removed installs a backdoor, so if you're trying to play the game and you're CD Key is being reset to 0000-0000-0000-0000 then you've probably got it.

Anatomy

- Uses dropbox for the key submit url and backdoor download

- Submits keys as of now to removed

- Sends computer name and IP address along

- Sends username to decide which store to save into

- Admin username is 'admin'

- Backdoor replaces key with 0000-0000-0000-0000 every few seconds

- Example request removed arrow223 PC NAME : PC_Name Key : AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA

Signs of Backdoor

- A process named Skype.exe that is not skype

- Skype moaning it is already open on start

- Skype.exe not responding (errors in some cases)

Cure

Nothing you can do about you're CD Key unless you use steam, in-which you can replace you're CD key again (after removing backdoor). To remove the backdoor kill any processes name Skype.exe and go to %appdata%/Roaming/DayZ Updater and remove Skype.exe.

Hope this helps.

I'd recommend moving any links related to sites selling stolen CD-keys. Even if the links are safe, it's still basically showing people where they could get stolen keys.
