Denuvo Anti-Tamper & Denuvo Protector

Eingetragen: 28.07.2019 Editiert: 25.03.2023

Denuvo Anti-Tamper is software designed to protect the copyrights of developers and publishers in computer games and other software applications by preventing users from copying or modifying the programs without permission.

The software was developed by the Austrian company Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH (a buy-out company of Sony DADC DigitalWorks) and uses a combination of encryption, code obfuscation and other technologies to protect the application.

In 2018, Irdeto Access acquired Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH (the developer of Denuvo Anti-Tamper), thereby strengthening its own position strengthened as a leading provider of anti-piracy software solutions. Since then, Irdeto Access has continued to develop Denuvo Anti-Tamper and integrated the technology into its own security solutions.

Denuvo Anti-Tamper works by encrypting the executable files of the application executables and modifying the program code to make it more difficult to harder to understand or modify. The software also adds a protective shield that makes it difficult for hackers and reverse-engineering experts to bypass the protection mechanism.

Denuvo is typically used by game publishers and software vendors to ensure that their applications are not copied or distributed without permission. copied or distributed without permission. The software can also be integrated with digital digital rights management (DRM) solutions to ensure that users can users can only access the application if they have a valid license.

No Internet? No activation!


In addition to an initial activation, the Codefusion servers are periodically servers of Codefusion are contacted with the token. Customers without internet or Internet failures, are left out in the cold. Further, if products are no longer maintained (which happens very quickly in the software sector), companies companies go bankrupt, customers are left with a worthless product. Services remain active unpatched and are therefore digital junk.

Features: Denuvo Protector


Denuvo Protector is a comprehensive protection package for computer games that includes various protection mechanisms and technologies, including Denuvo Anti-Tamper. The package includes various features to secure protected code and prevent illegal copying of games. The essential features of the protection package include
  1. Anti-tampering technology: Denuvo Protector includes anti-tampering technology that is able to detect and prevent attacks on the protected code by encrypting and modifying the code.
  2. Code obfuscation: The protected code is obfuscated to make it harder to understand and bypass the code.
  3. Virtual machines: Denuvo Protector uses virtual machines to execute the code, making it harder to analyze and understand the protected code.
  4. Encrypted functions: Some functions of the protected code are encrypted to make it harder to understand and bypass the code.
  5. License Management: Denuvo Protector includes a license management system that ensures that only legitimate copies of the game are used.
  6. Dynamic Link Library (DLL) protection: The protection mechanism also protects the game's Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) to make it harder to understand and bypass the code.
  7. Runtime integrity check: Denuvo Protector monitors the integrity of the protected code at runtime to ensure that the code has not been tampered with.
  8. Support for different platforms: Denuvo Protector supports different platforms such as Windows, Linux and Android.

Features: Denuvo Anti-Tamper


  1. Tamper detection: Denuvo Anti-Tamper uses a number of different techniques to detect whether the software has been tampered with. For example, it can check whether the code has been changed or whether an attempt has been made security mechanisms have been bypassed.
  2. Anti-debugging: Denuvo Anti-Tamper makes it difficult to examine the software with debugging tools by blocking tools by blocking access to certain functions and slowing down the execution of the software.
  3. Code obfuscation: Denuvo Anti-Tamper obfuscates the program code to make it harder for hackers to more difficult to understand and manipulate the code.
  4. Online verification: Denuvo Anti-Tamper can perform online verification to ensure that the software being used was purchased legally and that the user is using the latest version of the software.
  5. Anti-Tampering Techniques: Denuvo Anti-Tamper uses a wide range of anti-tampering techniques to make it more difficult for hackers to bypass the protection. to circumvent the protection. These include, for example, scrambling data structures, the application of signatures to specific sections of code, and the using of cryptographic techniques to encrypt data.
  6. Dynamic Code Encryption: Denuvo Anti-Tamper uses dynamic code code encryption to encrypt and decrypt the program code at regular intervals. periodically, which makes it more difficult to analyze the code.

Collecting hardware information


Denuvo Anti-Tamper accesses various hardware IDs that can be used to identify devices. These include:
  1. Processor ID (CPU ID): A unique ID that identifies a system's processor.
  2. Graphics card ID (GPU ID): A unique ID that identifies a system's graphics card.
  3. Hard disk serial number: A unique ID that identifies a system's hard disk.
  4. Network Card MAC Address: A unique ID that identifies a system's network card.
  5. BIOS information: This includes the BIOS version and manufacturer information.
  6. RAM capacity: The amount of installed memory in a system.
  7. Motherboard information: This includes the model and manufacturer of the motherboard.

Criticism of Denuvo Anti-Tamper


Meanwhile, it has been proven that Denuvo Anti-Tamper massively degrades the performance of of games. This happened most recently with the product "Devil May Cry 5". The japanese company CAPCOM Co., Ltd., had inadvertently released an exe file without Denuvo Anti-Tamper. Better FPS values as well as a performance increase of approx. 20% were directly visible without Denuvo.

Another point is files provided with Denuvo in terms of their size, because products with Denvuo often have a peculiarity that can be observed. Developers often release 3-400MB updates for their products. Patchnotes are often not found at all or only succinctly executed without reference to the renewal of a further forced activation.

 Involved Addresses

Denuvo Anti-Tamper uses the Load Balancer (ELB) as well as the Compute Cloud (EC2) from Amazon.com, Inc.
Servers and addressed certificate authorities differed slightly by Denuvo version and products.
