Cheatsformacs We are developing best hacks for macOS games and apps. All cheats are safe for your computer, proven to be malware free. Our software is free for 2-4 uses depending on particular cheat per device, but you can always contact us to extend free trial. The following table highlights the top features included in the advantage tool for CSGO, as well as the other benefits of a membership with Mac Game Hacks. We currently offer two types of membership - hover your mouse over individual items to find out more. You have complete control over which features you wish to have enabled or disabled. It is based on the original vHook (Barbossa) CS:GO cheating app developed a few years back but improved and adapted to work on macOS. The macOS version was modified by a GitHub user by the name of.

We recently found Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: Go) hacks on macOS that is also a trojan that could mine CryptoCurrencies without user consent.
According to VirusTotal Retrohunt, the threat is in the wild since the beginning of July 2017.
Warning: At the time of this writing, all URLs are live.
Entry Point: Vlone.cc Portal
The entry point is vlone.cc portal, where a user can Register, Login and Download for free the hack installer.
The domain name was registered through eNom in April 2017, 14th, and resolves to a shared web host at namecheap:
HTTPS certificate was delivered by COMODO PositiveSSL in June 2017, 27th.
When logged in, members can browse the Prices page and purchase a premium subscription for 1, 3 or 6 months through Selly:
Members download the same archive of the free installer than guests:
According to the user GET query value, members count in August 2017, 22nd, is nearly two thousand.
We don’t know if the private installer of the hack also installs the mining software without user consent.
Binaries analysis
Ableton live 10 crack patch. It’s all C++ Standard Library code. Network connections use libcurl and secure HTTPS protocol.
All executables, but the miner CLI, require super-user privileges, so the user must run the installer with sudo:
The main binary hides itself as Dynamic Web TWAIN, an online document scanning platform.
vHook
vHook is the installer. It is packed with UPX, probably to avoid user analysis and bypass some security products.
It is a command line interface:
With a valid member account, it downloads and extracts bootstrap.dylib and vhook.dylib from https://vlone.cc/portal/gateway.php as assets.zip to /Library/Application Support/:
It loads bootstrap.dylib from osxinj project. If Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is running, it downloads and extracts some fonts (https://vlone.cc/fontfix.zip as vlone.zip to /Library/Fonts/), and injects vhook.dylib into csgo_osx64 process.
It could be a perfect deal for a CS: GO user, but it turns out vHook also sneaky downloads and extracts https://vlone.cc/abc/assets/asset.zip as fonts.zip to /var/, changes directory to /var and runs sudo ./helper &.
It then kills Terminal application to hide the detached process output.
helper
helper is the miner downloader dropper. It is also packed with UPX.
It first asks the C&C server for the name of the binary to execute upon download:
It downloads https://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/b.zip as /b.zip, extracts its contents to /var/.log/, changes directory to /var/.log/ and runs sudo ./com.dynamsoft.WebHelper &.
At the time of this writing, https://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/b.zip URL response is a File Not Found 404 error code, but https://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/bz.zip URL is live and send the expected archive.
com.dynamsoft.WebHelper
com.dynamsoft.WebHelper is the miner downloader. Despite the name, it is not related to Dynamsoft.
It starts by downloading and extracting:
WebTwainServicefromhttps://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/d.zipto/var/.log/com.dynamsoft.WebTwainService.plistfromhttps://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/p.zipto/Library/LaunchDaemons/
Mac Os Cheat Sheet
It loads the daemon, sends computer unique identifier (UUID) and its version to C&C server, and checks if it meetsRequirements(), i.e. running as root and not in a debugger:
It then sleeps for one hour. If one is in a hurry, he or she can cut out the nap easily:
Once rested, it sends commands to C&C server every minute to ask if it should mine and update or kill itself:
Every minute, it also creates or updates the mining thread to:
- download and extract
https://www.vlone.cc/abc/assets/helper.zipto/var/.trash/.assets/ - get miner settings (maximum core number, currency, email address)
- check if Activity Monitor is running
- check if it is already mining
- check if it should stop mining
- run
cd /var/.trash/.assets/; ./com.apple.SafariHelperwith appropriate arguments
WebTwainService
WebTwainService tries to take care of com.dynamsoft.webhelper persistency. It is again packed with UPX.
It sets its current directory to /var/.log and runs sudo ./com.dynamsoft.webhelper &, then recursively sleeps for one hour…
minergate-cli
com.apple.SafariHelper actually is the official MinerGateCLI v4.04:
It is written in Qt, so it comes with frameworks:
It takes as CPU as requested by com.dynamsoft.WebHelper so the user enjoys the delight of computer’s fans background music:
In this example, it is mining Monero (XMR) with all virtual machine cores (two: 200.0%).
Current MinerGate email address is pwnedboi@protonmail.com, and xxanax420@gmail.com email address was also found hardcoded in another sample.
Maximum core number, CryptoCurrency and email address are provided by com.dynamsoft.WebHelper and the C&C server:
vLoader
We finally ended up with vLoader, the private installer, and, once more, it is packed with UPX.
It does many checks against the C&C server:
They are trivial to bypass for anyone who can force a conditional jump:
Private payloads are downloaded and extracted to /var/.old/:
boots.dylibfromhttp://vlone.cc/clear/sadmio.zip.uhdexter.dylibfromhttp://vlone.cc/clear/getout.zip
Compared to the free injected library, the private hook is very similar:
vLoader doesn’t uninstall any of the free version naughty payloads.
Cs Go Cheats Mac Os High Sierra
Finn and ponies
We didn’t spend too much time reverse engineering vhook.dylib. The source code was available on GitHub (archive) and videos of the hack are also available on YouTube here and there.
GitHub owner of the vHook project is fetusfinn (original author is ViKiNG) and we coincidentally found debugger symbols matching Finn username in GitHub’s libvHook.dylib and in all analyzed binaries:
Get Magic Keyboards, trackpads and mice for Mac. Shop sensor switches and keyboard cases for your Mac. Buy online with fast, free shipping. Microsoft mouse and keyboard center mac os. Microsoft IntelliType is the brand driver for Microsoft's series of computer keyboards. Microsoft releases versions for both Windows and Mac OS X (as of version 10.15 Microsoft IntelliType no longer installs on Mac OS X). It has been succeeded by Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, which combines IntelliType.

On that screen set (1) to Desktop Set, (2) to Microsoft Wireless laser Desktop for Mac, (3) to Mac OS 10.2.x-10.5.x, and (4) to your preferred language.
This is how we know Finn’s project name is pwnednet. Shortened to pwnet, it sounds like poney in French, i.e. pony in English and, everybody loves ponies, so here you have OSX.Pwnet.A!
There also is a reference to someone named Jennifer Johansson in Xcode user data:
We didn’t take the time to ask pwned’s boyfriend on Discord if Finn is much into ponies:
But, just in case, here is a Dutch Pony for Finn and her team.

EDIT: added vLoader on 2017/08/29.
