So for Linux/Windows x64, I have created a Sublime Text 4 plugin which can patch itself. Tested working on Sublime Text latest stable/dev build: 4168/4169

https://github.com/n6333373/warehouse/raw/main/SelfPatcher.zip

Quick Demo

thanks Mate works like charm in both linux and windows 11

If I were people, I'd rather avoid a compiled DLL from someone who created their first repo a week ago and wait for an open-source version.

4169 hex (Windows x64/leogx9r's method):

After patch just enter anything to license and it should work.

Thanks man, it works perfectly.

@Hazuki-san, you forgot the patch for licenseNotifyThread. @leogx9r didn't mention it in the analysis, but put it in his/her own patcher script. See https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47?permalink_comment_id=3802197#gistcomment-3802197

One possibility is that it the place it should be placed is Menu > Preferences > Browse Packages... rather than the Packages folder which lives aside sublime_text.

Thank you for your answer. But I found a better method:

sudo sed -i 's/\x80\x78\x05\x00\x0f\x94\xc1/\xc6\x40\x05\x01\x48\x85\xc9/g' /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

@vodiylik you should also prevent ST from notifying its server about your ST.

Do we have something for macOS build 4169?

I really hope no one is using that self patcher package. Hopefully @defencedog and @janabil are fake GH accounts (given lack of any real activity / loc) but if not almost certainly screwed as is @vodiylik . The binary uses TBF https://github.com/secretsquirrel/the-backdoor-factory possible to do legit patching with it? Sure. Are there far easier methods that don't use a literal backdoor kit? yes.

@JavaTryCatchMe do you have any proof or links you can provide if they have been using TBF?

@JavaTryCatchMe we are not fakes! Maybe some PC knowledge is required to understand how to apply patch

The patch is legit, I've used it on Linux and Windows and it works.

The patch is legit, I've used it on Linux and Windows and it works.

it is not hard to apply the patch. I am not even saying it doesn't work. Plenty of malware disguises itself as something legitimate and may even do that legitimate thing (or in this case the act of cracking the application). Plenty also does not do anything suspect for some period of time, or even for most users only phoning home with some basic information and to wait to see if it should do something else or run something truly malicious.

What I am saying is you are running closed source binary executable code in full trust situations on your system from a stranger. I am saying that the binary itself has code in it from "The Backdoor Factory" linked above, that is a toolkit primarily used for remote code execution and root kits.

It is not impossible that code is used in a non-nefarious way but there are also plenty of ways not to use it.

If (hopefully) ones suspect level of random strangers binaries is a 8/10 by default and then that binary has ties with a known backdoor maybe think twice about running it...

@JavaTryCatchMe

I am the author of SelfPatcher. Please do share the proof you've found that my patcher uses TBF github.com/secretsquirrel/the-backdoor-factory. That would be interesting.

The only 3rd-party lib I used is https://github.com/secretsquirrel/SigThief whose code is fairly short and I believe it doesn't use TBF. I believe I don't I use TBF for sure. The only thing left is https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka which I used to compile my module into .pyd/.so files. I don't believe it uses TBF for sure (otherwise, a big news).

Fwiw, people are less active here. https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47 is much more active. Actually, SelfPatcher is open-source to some of trusted cracker there, but you don't have to believe me.

First, sorry @Aholicknight sorry I missed your initial comment requesting what I found related to TBF. I saw the defencedog notification and the reply after that, and didn't scroll back far enough.

@n6333373 if I made a mistake, and spending some more time in IDA it is likely so, I apologize. After being pointed to the plugin I noticed the binary distribution which was a bit odd, rather than just the dependencies/tools. I spent about 10 minutes looking for anything horrific originally. It involving compiled python always adds a layer of abstraction. There wasn't anything obvious. There were no obvious network imports but these things can be hidden.

Only a spurious comment about code from BDF.

This paired with the one obvious link as well in the code of "https://github.com/sponsors/secretsquirrel" which first and foremost talks about their primary project of the Back Door Factory and malware related topics.

Again this was a dozen minutes reviewing a suspect random binary in an area where things can often be fraught with malicious code. It wasn't run, there was no deep analysis.

So of course with the comments I went back and took some more time.

As I see it now now:

• After running the extension sandboxed and reviewing the changes made to the assembly on the main executable there is almost certainly no malicious changes made.

• The references I found, while existed, clearly were not from the BDF library but the SigThief library @n6333373 mentioned. Specifically https://github.com/secretsquirrel/SigThief/blob/ffb501bcd86acd439e4458a33e9fc5ebed4b59a8/sigthief.py#L14 . SigTheif doesn't do anything malicious only transfer signatures between PEBs and is not used in a malicious way here.

• There are no other signs of anything malicious, network connections, etc. This isn't a full breakdown but again with a deeper dive than a glancing pass. Can things hide through something like this? Sure but is it likely here? no. I will note I only looked at the windows binary and not the linux library.

As I said at the top and will say it again now, I was almost certainly wrong. @n6333373 is quite believable and I am sorry for the hasty conclusions I initially made.

Thank you so much!!!!

@n6333373
fun fact, you could simply provide the source to make it more trusted. If it's using posted methods and just automates it, no reason not to. We are on github already.

Well. I don't care whether you trust it or not. Make your decision. Or buy a license = 100% safe. I have a legit license seriously. I do this for fun.

Fwiw, people are less active here. maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47 is much more active. Actually, SelfPatcher is open-source to some of trusted cracker there, but you don't have to believe me.

I also provided discussion link there. If you don't trust it, do patch by yourself manually.

it's not safe to run the patcher. Nobody knows if it does anything else. You should run it inside a virtual machine and compare the patched binary to see if something suspicious was added. Go to https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/5baecbddacf43855f13240b63be5673d it's easier to verify the instructions and patch it yourself.

I found a very simple way. We have 2 byte value at 00007FF77C7D9144 (in build 4180). This value is set when the program is started to 0 by the instruction:

and word ptr [00007FF77C7D9144], 0

Since the instruction is eight-byte, and I do not want to rebase the program, we replace it with an eight-byte instruction:

or word ptr [00007FF77C7D9144], 0FFFFh

When this value compares with 0 (instruction 00007FF77C0841CF), zf flag doesnt sets to 1, and we have licensed program.

Found elsewhere but it works on Win64. Make sure to run a firewall & prevent from accessing web.

4180: 80 79 05 00 0F 94 C2 -> C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90

This works for most of the Sublime Text 4.X x64 (Including 4107) - block the license check via host or patch it out of EXE

RSA Key Patch (allows any key in right format to work)

Search for ...
4157415656575553B828210000
Replace with ...
33C0FEC0C3575553B828210000

Disable License Check (You can do this via hosts file if you rather)

Search for...
6C6963656E73652E7375626C696D6568712E636F6D
Replace with ...
7375626C696D6568712E6C6F63616C686F73740000

You can now use any license basically that follows the same syntax/format/key.

so this has always been my go-to pair of hex strings to edit since the 4.x age, but since yesterday it's doesn't work anymore with 4180 (string not found)

It's also works for Linux too, btw 😮

@Fireshtorm1k your patch is very interesting.

it makes you registered, but at the same time requires a license upgrade.

Ditto this. Works on Arch after hexed and chmod.
