Any old SOCOMers around?

Hey Harry, it's me poorkingz. I just wanted to let you know that I have just found the memory scanning function and with a routine that checks which addresses are being loaded from, I am able to use codes that ban without getting banned. I originally found it for FTB2 and the bypass can be ported to FTB1, S3, and probably other PS2 Socoms.

Do explain more, I looked for that for ages in socom 2 before codemajic. How did you find it?

The anticheat uses a disguised or modified version of MD5. However, it still uses the same constants for initializing the digest. I found the function by tracing the usage of those constants. Finding this on the PS2 first would probably be very unlikely since it requires a deal of logging and getting banned as a result. Without NitePR's handy live memory viewer and hardware ID changer for bypassing bans, I couldn't have found it.
