Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.
I am an attorney for Nexon US Holding Inc. and acting on behalf of Nexon Co. Ltd and Nexon Korea Corporation (collectively "Nexon"), the owners of the computer platform and security system being circumvented by the software posted on GitHub.
Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.

Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure.
Yes
What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?
Nexon uses the NexonGameSecurity platform to control access to copyrighted content in its games. This platform includes numerous elements to control access to copyrighted content, including encryption and obfuscation. More specifically, the NexonGameSecurity platform uses CRC verification to ensure that client memory code is not manipulated. Nexon prevents debugging on the game client. Nexon logs attempts to defeat its security and generates crash reports related to attempted manipulation of the game client.
How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?
The repositories state that they are intended to defeat the NexonGameSecurity platform. For example, the repository for NexonGameSecurity-bypass states: "A full emulator bypass for Nexon's NexonGameSecurity version 2.12.24.0. Emulates the initialization-scheme and integrity-check for NGS, tricking the target into believing NGS is actively running untampered."
The repositories create a DLL file named MapleNGSBypass.dll and it can be injected into the MapleStory game client’s memory space using DLL injector programs. Once injected, it will patch the game client and NGS module’s program code in the memory space, and bypass and disable the MapleStory’s security checks and NGS security functions.
The repositories perform the following functions:
- The bypass program creates a copy of the original game client's memory code section and passes the address of the copied code to the CRC verification function to verify it so that it can always pass the CRC verification even IF the game client memory code has been manipulated.
- It patches return value of the [private] function to 0, so that cheaters can use a debugger on the game client.
- It patches return value of the [private]!enqueueLog function to 0.
- It patches return value of the [private] function to 0.
- It hooks [private] function and generates random 64 bit values.
- It disables the ThreadID verification routine.
Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.
