RDP2 has been cracked by glitching. You first need to downgrade RDP2 to RDP1 then do the RDP1 bootloader glitch. It's not exactly easy but it's well documented and can be done given enough time. Though the STM32F4 targets do have a high chance of bricking during this attack.
First I'd like to point out that "Decryptor" is an ill-chosen term: there's no encryption mechanism here, RDP is a software lock based on an internal flash state.
This dongle is very likely to be this original attack https://github.com/JohannesObermaier/f103-analysis/tree/mast... but now packaged. If you want to read more this repo has the best doc: https://github.com/CTXz/stm32f1-picopwner. It's a multi-step attack where a payload is executed from persisted SRAM (RDP1 means you can read/write to it) after a quick reset. The fact that they mention freezing the chip heavily weighs in that direction since it's needed for higher clock chips.
I've tried this locally on a known-vulnerable piece of software using the hugginface Q8 model + llama. It did find the vuln when given the entrypoint in the lib and user-controlled buffer. Otherwise it produced false positives.
AFAIK you don't need a credit card linked to the account, you can get in-store credit from selling the guaranteed drop items from playing a few matches, this is enough to get you started trading.
Read up on the story, look at the influencers promoting it and the ecosystem that grew around it. Valve is willfully running a casino for underage and have bypassed local laws that protect against this using technicalities. It's frightening.
I didn't downvote you (my account is low reputation) but your argument is weak: that some skins go for absurd amount of money says nothing of the rest of the ecosystem. There can both be children and drug dealers (ab)using the same "gaming" mechanics.
They did this to take a bigger cut of the market because most trades happened off-platform. This new update ensures that they will sell more of their new items through their shop (contract cases) because it's going to be the only way to get the red items to fuses into "valuable" knives. They're rotten to the core.
Look at the "meta-"game mechanics: you play a few games, you get a guaranteed case drop. This circa $3 case could contain anything, a $0.2 skin or a rare $2500 knife. When you open it a casino-like wheel goes over all the items and selects one randomly. There are hundreds of YT/twitch channels that open cases all day long and their target audience is children. It's gambling, and it's gambling for children.
I doubt it's going to change anything, this manipulated market will adapt and continue to extract money from kids. The cynic in me could even say that this change was pushed by Valve to take a bigger cut of the skin market (most trades are supervised by 3d parties). Coffeezilla investigated one of the many casino sites, there's a lot more to it.
There are already a bunch of studies showing that the ozempic causes massive muscle loss and lessens bone density. And before anyone remarks "just do resistance training", I doubt the people that take the easy solution will do it in conjunction.
There's supposedly a fix being deployed (https://x.com/George_Kurtz/status/1814235001745027317). Since it's a channel update I'm assuming that it would be downloaded automatically? Has anyone received it yet? Does the garbage driver disappear or is it replaced?
Edit: got in touch with an admin:
C-00000291-00000000-00000029.sys SHA256 1A30..4B60 is the bad file (timestamp 0409 UTC)
C-00000291-00000000-00000030.sys SHA256 E693..6FAE is the fix (timestamp >= 0527 UTC)
Do not rely on the hashes too much as these might vary from org to org I've read.
