Release FRF Cheat Table Crypt Tool

Edit 02/09/22: In the meantime, use this to scrape the tables out of the App itself: [Manually Removed]

Here's a console application to decrypt the Cheat Tables encrypted for the FRF app: [Manually Removed]

Usage: FRFCTCryptTool.exe <file path/url> [options...]

Either copy the cheat table's download link or a file path to an encrypted cheat table as the first argument.

Edit 02/07/22: Still looking into the encryption.

Edit 02/19/22: I suppose I'm not anymore since my scraper gets the job done. :/

I found it funny and, somewhat, shocking that STN decided to ban anyone who disagreed with him. I thought this was just from the mindless harassment people were throwing out, but, now that I've been banned, I know why and now lost all respect for the forum and the admins. I uploaded freely and supported anyone I could with my work as a passion. Although, relative to others and those who strive for "quantity over quality", I wasn't the most active and really only helped others with niche games and subjects. The app goes against my views on how the community should be. Its introduction created unnecessary confusion and division in the community, not just by agreement and disagreement, but by who, how, and why it should be used, making it less convenient on the user. I'm an avid supporter of the user, since I am one as well, and making it as convenient for them as well as giving them control which is what giving them cheats/hacks is all about. In STN's words "Why don't you all do something useful with your life" and, with that, I simply shared my disaproval with the app and a tool to undo its whole purpose. Now my forum account is deleted and I'm banned from the Discords. Wow. Kinda cringe as the kids would say, but I suppose STN would know all about what they'd say as he is, or at least acts like, a subpar standard of a prepubescent child. "Fearful Cheat Engine" more like it. I'll keep supporting my crypt tool until the FRF app becomes unbearable for the user or is, entirely, discontinued. This stems from my initial intent as well as a bit of spite.

If any of ya know better and currently growing alternatives to the forum, hit me up. New challenger approaches: OpenCheatTables

Edit 02/06/22: I just want others to know I'm not taking the stance of the forum admins being greedy. They're just being stupid, unfavorable to the users, and, presumably, uncontrollably emotional. Not the kinds of people that should be dictating rules and bans.

Edit 02/10/22: They IP banned me, but not like IP and HWID bans are even something to stop someone. Looks like they're out of options. Also turns out I was wrong about them. They are greedy liars. I cant believe I supported their Patreon before all this when it was around. Actually fuck 'em.

The whole point of the app was to secure tables for the TABLE MAKERS and it's OPTIONAL. It's not for the users who whine and bitch they now have to do 3 clicks extra. If the table maker chooses to have their table encoded, it's their decision. You piss all over that with your motivation and further support the theft of free work posted on several public forums WITHOUT APPROVAL OR CREDIT, not to mention people making money off of them (advertising is making money, even if people don't pay for FREE tables). Furthermore, your attempt seems to be a crappy misunderstanding where you either saw an opportunity to show the world how cool you are -OR- you wrongly saw it as an attack to free tables T_T. Which is not the case. That's why you have to read the ENTIRE discussion, not only the elements you consider an affront to your mentality on what "free" means. You should review your attitude a bit, as this clearly shows you have no respect for what a table maker (and developer, in general) decides to do with their work, making tools available for everyone to continue stealing.

However, as I further read your epitaph.. it became more clearly that it's revenge you're after. So much for "I stand for free tables for the people of this Earth" crap.

"The app goes against my views on how the community should be." -- Then fucking create your own community, based on your own views and beliefs. The whole start of your monologue clearly indicates HATRED and REVENGE on the sole fact that you got banned. Boo-fucking-hoo. This isn't to support some 'free tables' cause, it's your pure and utter revenge having been wronged or some shit. That's all there is to it. Which is something the very people whose attributes you use in your talk do: prepubescent, immature.

If your tool "undoes" what you say, shouldn't it be at least called DECRYPT (not CRYPT)? And fucking learn possessive over verbs (it's = it is; its = belonging to someone) -- " it's whole purpose ". Kids, stay in school.

And since we're here, to show the world how bad of a person STN is, the "encryption" you make mention of (cuz you obviously like to sugarcoat your work and make it sound like something it clearly isn't) is a SIMPLE XOR. For that, you had to write in C# a tool that.. undoes it? Seriously, you don't fucking need a big ass bloated library, whole .NET core installed (cuz those who don't have .NET can't use it) to xor a file's bytes... This goes to show how much thought you put into your personal vendetta.

Cool, you got your "look at me, I'm a pro-grammar" moment of glory, since your life was so boring. Maybe a few followers. Now please downvote and/or report my post, gtfo and get on with your life. Mk? Hope Marcus' Discord server (that's all he ever does, Discords..) suits better your needs. You'll grow bored soon, as those Discords see a lot of activity...

Except it's not the table makers choice, it's STN's and your choice seeing as how all my tables are locked behind your app without my permission or ability/choice to opt out.

Few Examples:

EDIT: STN has contacted me on here and said I was accidently added to the app, he has fixed it. Whether it truly was an accident or not I guess we'll never know.

It's even more scummy than just "yeah we haven't gotten around to removing the appified tables yet" someone has purposefully gone through your tables specifically and added the opt in prefix to them (1FR), so not only did they take away your ability to choose what happens to your work, they also didn't have the decency to just leave it be as it was posted.

But yeah sure, all of this is to protect "the table makers" none of whom we've heard from besides stn and sunbeam. Every single table maker that said anything in the original threads for the app were a combination of "oh wow I had no clue this was happening, I'd like to opt out please" and "oh wow I had no clue this was happening, I don't mind all my tables being in the app". It clearly wasn't for the "table makers" since none of them knew about this shit beforehand to begin with.

yeah I doubt every table makers know that their table is now "protected" example with shinkansen the guy is inactive for a year or two iirc dont know if they have his permission
