BioShock has been cracked!

When this game first came out, we though the unbelievable had happened; A game which the cracker community couldnt break. But it has been proven yet again that everything can be broken. SecuROM's new otherworldy protection (Serial + DVD Check + Online Activation) mechanism has been beaten by a Russian individual who calls himself "DarkCoder".

Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.

 

Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival. Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities. Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience. Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game. Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

Brace yourselves for the explosion: SuprNova returns today

Few days back we reported how The Pirate Bay were planning to relaunch the bit torrent legend SuprNova.org. The day has finally dawned. SuprNova.org will go live in 4 hours and 12 minutes (at the timewe write this article) and will pick up from where it left off. Currently SuprNova.org homepage displays a countdown timer and a message from the TPB crew who are responsible for the resurrection:

"soon we will return with suprnova.org - the number 1 site in the world for waffle recipes. how do you like yours? with chocolate? syrup? ice cream? maybe plain?! we have all the pictures of waffles you will ever need. and we will have the biggest waffle forum in the world! all for you waffle-people. waffles! WAFFLES!"

At launch stage SuprNova will have:

  • The ability to search 25000 trackers
  • One Million indexed torrents
  • 25 million peers
  • Official forums

Meanwhile the SuprNova team sends yet another message to anti-piracy outfits around the world (Source - Suprnova IRC Channel):

“This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future.”

BitLet : The BitTorrent Applet

Has the network administrator of your workplace, campus, college or institution banned bit torrent clients from being installed and run? If so, this post might bring good news for most of you.

BitLet.org hosts a java applet that acts as a bit torrent client. You just need to copy the .torrent file link (the link should directly link to the .torrent file, not to some html page where information about torrent is displayed) into the web page  and press "Download Torrent" and the applet will do the rest. BitLet.org's settings page can be used to change port numbers and set max upload rate if needed. We almost forgot, this baby supports download resuming.

The only downside of this service is that it needs Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run.  If JRE is not installed, you wont be able to run the applet. You may be able to get the administrator to install JRE by saying you need it for "Educational purposes" or you need it to run "important stuff for an urgent project" (if he's a dumbass he'll fall for it). Anyway good luck with it.

Office Outlook Connector : Access Hotmail via Outlook without paid subscription

Unlike Gmail, Microsoft's Hotmail does not offer free POP3 access to it's mail server. This means that you cannot use an e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook and connect to Hotmail (unless you have Windows Live Mail Plus subscription). If you try to do so without a subscription, you will be greeted with the error message "Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email"."

Well there is an application that allows you connect to Free version of Hotmail using Outlook 2003 and 2007; Microsoft Outlook Connector. This utility is released by Microsoft itself so you dont need to wonder why it only supports Outlook 2003/2007 clients.

Get Microsoft Outlook Connector: Download Now! (Direct Download)(We've linked to the file directly so genuine validation wont be necessary)

The Bourne Ultimatum DVD Screener

Team iMBT has done it again. They've released what they call a DVD Screener of the blockbuster movie Bourne Ultimatum. Well to us this looks more like a Workprint, anyway the quality is superb (nearly R5 DVD quality). Check out the screenshots here. There is timer and a universal watermark but these are only minor cons considering the overall quality of the rip.

The Bourne Ultimatum is a 2007 film based loosely on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name. A sequel to The Bourne Supremacy, it stars Matt Damon reprising his role as Ludlum's signature character, amnesia-suffering CIA assassin Jason Bourne. Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Edgar Ramirez, Albert Finney, and Joan Allen co-star. The cast reprises their roles from the previous Bourne movies, with additions such as Strathairn, playing a CIA department head; Paddy Considine as a British journalist; and Edgar Ramirez as a new assassin sent to kill Bourne. The film continues the saga of Jason Bourne after he survives the harrowing Bourne Supremacy car chase in Moscow, Russia, and follows the character as he travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier and New York City to uncover his real identity, while the CIA continues to send assassins after him.

DAMN .NFO Viewer : View .NFO files with ease

If you've downloaded at least one scene release, you are sure to have come across an .NFO file. Scene groups use .NFO files to relay release info, group info, install notes, serial numbers and ASCII art. If you are a Windows user, double clicking the .NFO file will cause "Windows System Information" to load and display an error message. This is because .NFO files are set to open with MSInfo32 by default. You will be able to see the contents of the .NFO file if you use open with command and load it with any text editor. Well even Notepad works but you will soon see that it blows. DAMN .NFO viewer is a free (as if it matters anyway) utlity which allows you easily view .NFO files in a Windows environment.

  • Word Wrap
    You can switch between word wrap, character wrap and no wrap.
  • Shell integration
    The Viewer can be set as the default application to open files with .nfo and .diz extensions. You get fancy file icons as a bonus.

The X-Files : All 9 seasons

This article is a repost. Torrents featured in the old article are dead so here are some new ones.

The X-Files follows the adventures and lives of FBI agents investigating those cases that involve the paranormal or previously unsolved phenomena. FBI Special Agents Mulder, Scully, Doggett and Reyes work to uncover forces within the United States of America government that would violate people's rights, alien creatures and monsters alike that attack and other mysteries.

The show ended it's original run in 2002 after running for 9 seasons (201 episodes). For those of you who missed it, torrents of all 9 seasons are available from various P2P sites. Since the torrents are uploaded more than 1 year ago, there may not be many seeders at all times so expect slow download speeds.

    Mysterious world of "The Scene"

    We hope that this article will provide answers to one of the most commonly asked questions through our e-mail; "Where do pirated stuff come from?" But be warned- this will be a long post.

    Movies, games appz, e-books and music that can be found on the internet are not uploaded by the publishers themselves so you lazy asses can download them with a click; no it aint that easy. Most of the pirated stuff that circulates the web comes from "The Scene".

    What is it?

    The scene (also known as the warez scene) is a clandestine worldwide network where people trade pirated goods, like dvds, movies, games, applications etc. Warez refers primarily to copyrighted material traded in violation of its copyright license. It does not refer to commercial for-profit software counterfeiting.

    Releases and Releasegroups

    First, warez is released by releasegroups, groups which are specialized in publishing warez. They copy a dvd or break the security of a game, and will make it available for other people, as a so-called release. When these releasegroups finish a release it will be uploaded to topsites. These sites are very fast private ftp-servers, and the first stadium in the distribution of a release (getting access to one of the topsites is not easy if you are not a cracker yourself). The speed of this worldwide network is enormous. Within minutes a release can be copied to hundreds of other sites. Within an hour, it's available on thousands of sites and fxp boards. Within a day or two it's available on newsgroups, irc and in the end, on p2p-software.

    Subsections

    There are release groups that specialize themselves in certain categories within the scene.

    General Scene guidelines

    • Open - Anyone with enough technical or artistic skill can be a member of The Scene
    • Free - All content offered on the Scene must be free of charge and non-profit and art is generally reusable with permission
    • Groups - Individuals who make up the Scene may be members of one or many groups the point of which being that the promotion of work is unified; work published under one group name typically cannot be resubmitted under another
    • No Ripping! - It is unacceptable for a group or individual to take another group or individual's work and republish it as its own without explicit permission being given! Rippers are usually banned on sight.
    • Credit - Any sort of recode, rework, edit, manipulation or remix must also credit the author of the original, permission from the original author to publish the remix is also a good thing to get somewhere along the line
    • Respect - Skill is the only thing by which people are measured on the Scene; if you are sufficiently skilled you can get into any group you wish
    • Competition - Groups that form The Scene compete amongst each other, each wanting to prove they are better coders / artists than the other.

    Well that should have given you a basic idea on what the scene is and obviously answered the question "Where do pirated stuff come from?" There may be points we missed and groups we failed to mention so if you found any flaws plz mail to filenetworks@gmail.com or post as comments.

    Ocean's Thirteen (R5)

    Ocean's Thirteen is a 2007 film directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring an ensemble cast. It is the third (and reportedly final) in the Soderbergh series following the 2004 sequel Ocean's Twelve and the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, which itself was a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack film Ocean's Eleven. The latter was highly influenced by Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob le Flambeur (1955). All of the cast members reprised their roles from the previous installments except for Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin joined the cast as their new targets.

    Scene group ViSUAL has just released an Bootleg R5 (DVD for region 5) copy which has almost DVD Quality pictures. The torrent has just been uploaded to TPB tracker so chek it out.

    The Pirate Bay launches forums, promises resurrection of SuprNova.org

    The Pirate Bay, the world's largest bit torrent tracker, has launched fully functional forums at http://www.suprbay.org. These forums are supposed to serve as official forums for both ThePirateBay.org and soon-to-be-relaunched SuprNova.org. It is speculated that the forums will host the largest bit torrent community on the web, combining the large number of followers which TBH now has and SuprNova previously had.

    SuprNova.org was the largest bittorrent index at the time of its demise. It's forums catered the largest ever BT community of 300000 users which is a record to date. The site was shut down in 2004 due to the pressure from MPAA. However, the owner of SuprNova had recently donated the domain to TPB whose admins have promised the resurrection of the BT legend. The main reason for the relaunch according to Brokep's (One of TPB Administrators) word's are:

    ""We want to send a finger to the ones who try to stop sites like SuprNova and The Pirate Bay. It's not right to close them down and this is proof that you can't. I think this is the first time in history that any closed file-sharing site has returned and that's just awesome for us to be part of."

    SuprNova.org is speculated to go online within this month.

    El Cantante (movie) WORKPRiNT leaked to web

    El Cantante (2007) is an American film, set to be released in the United States on August 3, 2007. The biopic stars real life couple singer Marc Anthony and his wife, actress-singer Jennifer Lopez . The film is based on the life story of salsa singer Héctor Lavoe (played by Marc Anthony). The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2006. The film runs 116 minutes and has an R rating due to scenes depicting drug use, pervasive language and some sexuality. The film chronicles Hector Lavoe's life to fame, his battle with drugs, his attempted suicide, and his untimely death from AIDS.

    Scene group CAMERA has released a WORKPRiNT of this movie even before its released in the theaters. WORKPRiNT releases are very rare in the scene. The quality of this copy is pretty good (DVD quality) but there are some cons too. There is a large copyright notice displayed at the bottom of screen and there are no subtitles for spanish parts. But then again, it's a WORKPRiNT!
