[Mini-tutorial] How to use RatioMaster 1.9.x's memory reader

[anon]

You must start the real client and have at least one running torrent on it first. Use any torrent but the one you're about to fake on. A public one would be fine.

After that, run the RatioMaster, go to the Advanced tab, and select the emulation for the exact same version and build of the BitTorrent client you're running. (For this tutorial, we'll use uTorrent 1.8.2 Build 14458)

Afterwards, click the "Memory Reader" button:

Make sure the process name is correct. If you gave your client's executable a custom filename, you'll need to enter that minus ".exe" in the text field. The "String" box should already be filled with the chosen build's peer_id prefix. Click "Start Search". After the progress bar is filled with 2-3 blocks, this message box should pop up:

Click OK to use the peer_id, key, port and numwant extracted from the client's memory space:

Click Apply and then Close.

Note: this is the same tutorial you can find at http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?p=70488 with some fixes - the fact that it was buried on the mR thread made it difficult to find.

If you're running Azureus, see http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?p=89031, or enable Logging and copy the peer_id and key from the announce dump.

can you explain more about the purpose of this and the consequences of say, forgetting to use it ? :)

well if you didn't use the memory reader you'll get instant ban

for example if you forgot the memory reader while cheating on waffles then say bye bye to your acc,
also you'll receive a nice message "it appears you're cheating"

so better use it :)

Nice. We'll see what happens, lol.

I did it right last night, then turned off my computer for the night. This morning I forgot to. But it seemed like it was using the same values from before, so couldn't I have conceivably just turned the torrent off and on without shutting down the client?

[cutiepie]

From what I know, everytime you boot uTorrent new values will come up. Memory Reader is there so that it "syncs up" with uTorrent and others view your computer as using the same instance of uTorrent.

Therefore it's vital to use memory reader. For me, I just do it everytime I load Ratio Master just out of good habit. It only takes a few seconds!

Yes, you could have stopped the torrent without closing the client. This is fine when you're emulating uTorrent. Vuze generates a new peer_id every time you start the torrent.

In a word its the difference between a successful cheater and a Banned account !!

Using the memory reader? Yes, you're 100% right.

Click Apply and then Close.After that,should i close the real cliet?when i want to fake on another torrent at the same time,how can i do?thank you.

[alpacino]

It doesn't matter, as long as you don't keep same torrent running in client and RM at the same time. You can open additional RM instances to fake on other torrents at the same time.

when i want to fake on another torrent at the same time,how can i do?

What alpacino said + if the torrent is from the same tracker, make sure you use the same peer_id and key for both!

[slikrapid]

well if you didn't use the memory reader you'll get instant ban

not necessarily, some trackers don't check this and sometimes users get lucky, but its highly advisable to use it

Vuze generates a new peer_id every time you start the torrent.

this is important information


how about this scenario - you are not using utorrent on a tracker and start only ratiomaster without the memory reader - how can the tracker know what is your real peer_id, it would think its your client, right?

I think the tracker recognizes your client through the sent header and RM has an internal generated peer_id for each emulation.

If you've ticked "generate new peer_id and key on startup": the RM will generate new (fake) values that look like a real client's
If you haven't, and have used the memory reader in the past: it'll use those last read values
If you haven't, and have never used the memory reader: it'll use the last generated fake values

The tracker will think you're using the emulated client, of course.

what about the hash field ?? its sometime filled up and sometime not !! so its necessary that always filling up hash field?

If you've ticked "generate new peer_id and key on startup": the RM will generate new (fake) values that look like a real client's

so that mean Its not necessary use memory reader when i ticked "generate new peer_id and key on startup" ??
