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?** + +SSH Core is protected by a license-validation system. The software requires a valid, server-issued license key and only operates after that key is authorized by [private] server through a cryptographically signed response; the distribution package itself is served only to authorized keys. These measures effectively control access to and use of [private] copyrighted software, since without a valid authorization the software does not run. The reported repository's script exists specifically to bypass and disable this license validation, allowing the software to be used without authorization. + +**How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?** + +The reported script ("sshcore_crack.sh") is designed solely to defeat [private] software's license validation. It downloads [private] proprietary binaries from [private] server and replaces the legitimately installed software with modified versions in which the license check has been neutralized, and it interferes with the program's normal communication with [private] license server so that the software runs without a valid, server-issued authorization. Its only purpose and effect is to circumvent [private] technological protection measures and enable unauthorized use of [private] copyrighted software. The repository name itself ("SSHCore-Cracked") reflects this intent. + +**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately.
