Crackover (Complete free version of crossover)
Raw
README.md

CrackOver

Crackover helps you bypass restrictions for the MacOS app, CrossOver.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/ellsies/e9383c75fd8cd8d5781dac91d7e2360d/raw/install.sh)"

Executing this script will replace the CrossOver binary with a patched version that bypasses the restrictions and time limits.

This script fixes all trial issue, resets the trial period, and fixes all bottle trial periods.

I will update this script as needed to keep it working.

For any help, please leave a comment on this gist, and I will respond as soon as possible.

BEWARE OF MALWARE!

In an open-source community,

  1. you do not link to outside of the open-source space; at best it's unreliable and destroys the spirit of open-source, and at worst you're tracking everyone,
  2. you provide patches and commands to patch the executable in-place; zsh is more than capable of it without any external tooling,
  3. you also have to check for the correct version and re-sign it.

Unless proven otherwise (i.e. by actually patching via zsh), this is a scam and malware. DO NOT USE!

@BoratTheGreatest You are more than able to the the source of the script at https://femboys.studio/crossover and https://femboys.studio/crossoverMain.

These are the only 2 urls used to access the script, and they are completely unencrypted. There is no external tools used apart from bash commands at most.

Neither of these URLs are binary executables, they are bash scripts with the extension removed. You can check this by downloading the file, either by using cURL or the web browser, and opening the file with the text editor.

EDIT: Updated to the correct URLs.

@BoratTheGreatest Also for reference heres the uninstall command:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://femboys.studio/uninstall)"

With the following source (uninstall.sh):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
CO_PWD=~/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/MacOS
test -d "${CO_PWD}" || CO_PWD=/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/MacOS

test -d "${CO_PWD}" || (echo 'unable to detect app path. exiting...' && exit)

PWD="${CO_PWD}"
cd "${PWD}"

PROC_NAME='CrossOver'
pids=(`pgrep "${PROC_NAME}"`, `pidof "${PROC_NAME}"`, `ps -Ac | grep -m1 "${PROC_NAME}" | awk '{print $1}'`)
pids=`echo ${pids[*]}|tr ',' ' '`

[ "${pids}" ] && kill -9 `echo "${pids}"` > /dev/null 2>&1


if [ -f CrossOver.origin ]; then
  echo 'uninstalling...'
    rm CrossOver
    mv CrossOver.origin CrossOver
    echo 'Done. Please open CrossOver '
    osascript -e 'display notification "CrossOver has been uninstalled."'
  exit
fi;

echo 'already uninstalled/original file not found. exit.'
exit

Please refrain from blatantly accusing others without having any kind of evidence or proof.

Sorry, I stand corrected about the script part. You don’t need signing anything in this case. My bad.
But you're missing the main point - move the script to GitHub gist and now we’re transparent. Otherwise it's grey and potentially fraudulent.
For the record I don’t mind the donation links. Having a countdown is lame though.

ellsies commented Jul 6, 2024

@BoratTheGreatest I added the donation countdown to give people a chance to cancel opening the page if they wish.

Having it on my url allows me to push the script much easier from my IDE and makes development much easier. However, I will set the repository for https://femboys.studio to public so the source is visible and transparent.

@BoratTheGreatest

Evidence is the external links that lead away from the open-source spaces like GitHub to some random (even if personal) websites, crossing this grey border. It’s fine today, tomorrow, but it might become malware the day after.

There is zero benefit from hosting the very same script outside of GH Gist, on an uncontrolled server; the only way we interpret this behaviour is calling for malicious intent. Unless we get more transparency here, claims about potential spyware or malware are as valid as ever, sorry

ellsies commented Jul 6, 2024

Again, as I've said, I will release the source code to the website as a github repo, so there is complete and total transparency. This allows you to see what's happening in the background as well as access to the scripts.

ellsies commented Jul 6, 2024

And the benefit is making development easier for me as I can push directly to github from my code editor rather than having to copy paste and make revisions.

@BoratTheGreatest

No, that is a bad argument, sorry. Malicious it shall ever be then.

If you really wish for me to release the source code here on Gists, so be it.

The install script has been updated to the gist, now then, could you kindly retaract your statements as we have full transparency?

@BoratTheGreatest
Copy link

Appreciate the effort! Your launcher script points to an external website though. And in the launcher script, won’t it display that message about fixing the bottles every time you launch it? And why’d you want to capture the logs to a temp file?

@ellsies

ellsies commented Jul 6, 2024

The logs to a temp file is in case anything goes wrong. And no it shouldn't display the notfication every single time, only when it expires. In theory at least, I'll need to wait for it to expire again in two weeks to make sure it doesn't do it every time.

So, uh.. will you do anything about FIX_FILE_LINK?

100% agree linking to external website is shady practice.

can vouch for now. applying a uninstall code helps pefres the legitimacy good going

Any updates? Do you think her script is now 100% safe and legit?
