Resource Protection
This part is valid only for some scripts, Not all of our scripts are encrypted.
Our encrypted scripts have no thread on cfx!
Because we believe in transparency, we have created this page to share information regarding our resource protection. In an effort to combat unauthorized resource redistribution (leaks) and unauthorized resellers we employ a range of techniques to protect our resources. We have created an authentication system with convenience in mind that we use in conjunction with resource obfuscation to reach a desired result.
What does our authentication system offer?
- An easy and straight-forward process of downloading the latest versions of our resources anytime.
- An authentication server with an exceptional uptime and blazing fast response times worldwide.
- An automated way of changing your authenticated IP address anytime without hassle.
- A server console resource message to always stay informed of critical information.
- A server console resource version check message to always stay informed of resource updates.
- A way to use our resources in a dynamic-IP server using a dynamic token without hassle.
How does our authentication system work?
A resource communicates with our authentication server when it's started to check whether it should run or not. The authentication server responds with information such are whether the requesting IP address has access to the requesting resource, the resource's version number, the resource's message string (if present), the resource's key string (original folder name) and a temporary token string. The resource may request to authenticate again after it has been authenticated, using its temporary token; this allows for subsequent authentication making our resource protection harder to bypass. The client - server communication is encrypted to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
What information is transmitted to the authentication server?
- The resource's original key (folder name) that will be used to identify which resource the client is seeking authentication for; this allows you to rename our resources to whatever you like.
- The dynamic token (if present inside the resource's directory as a file: "dynamic.token") that will be used to automatically change your authenticated IP address; this allows you to use our resources in a dynamic-IP address server without hassle.
- An IP address is not transmitted as data, but the server gets it via the request.
What information is stored in the authentication server?
Access logs and minimal data (Tebex transaction IDs, IP addresses, authentication tokens and action timestamps) are stored for operational purposes and to maintain our server's integrity.
Why are the resources obfuscated?
Obfuscation is used only for the mere fact that it makes it harder to remove the authentication code, for people who want to unauthorizedly redistribute a resource. We obfuscate the client - server communication code as well as critical code parts that may otherwise be used in a standalone manner to bypass our resource protection. We always try to include as much configuration as possible within our resources as well as some source files so you can customize them as much as possible to your liking.
What if you disappear one day?
We have no plans of disappearing and we are not hiding. If we were ever to cease our operations, we would provide all of our customers fully open-source versions of the resources that they have bought.
The resource protection applies to FiveM resources.
We always seek to comply with Cfx.re and Tebex while maintaining our brand's integrity and ensuring only our customers get access to what they paid for. At this point of time, we are not allowed to post our resources in the FiveM releases forum as per its rules but our resources are still operational and can be sold via Tebex as per Tebex's FiveM rules. If this ever changes to where our resources are blocked by FiveM or disallowed to be sold via Tebex due to our resource protection, we will comply accordingly either by adapting it or by dropping it altogether and making our resources fully open source.
