Battle.net Registry Privacy Keeper

[roboto]

Hey Folks,

i created a small regedit file that deletes the hkcu settings for all blizzard product.
the hkcu\software\blizzard key contains IDs that can compromise security and could lead to a account link.

simply run the file and the key'll be deleted.

you can automate it by running a bat script somewhat similar like that:

@echo off
reg import del.reg
start wow.exe

View attachment del.zip

What do you base it off?
you say "could" lead to a account link ;P ?

 

[roboto]

first:
it's a layer of security i add to all of my accounts - call me paranoid but i think it's worth it

a) hkcu\software\blizz*/battle*/<16 byte hex id>
that one contains 2 keys, game accounts and selected game accounts
that 16 bit key seems to be unique either by account or machine
it could be used to get an index of all account logins from that machine


b) hkcu\software\blizz*/battle*/authenticator
contains cached login tokens used to "remember" your authenticator for a max of 30 days.
hashed account id, system id and internet ip

c) hkcu\software\blizz*/battle*/identity
another binary - i suppose u mean what identity means...

d) hkcu\software\blizz*/battle*/wow
key "licenses"
unique by account/sub license
length grows with every account you log in

e) hkcu\software\bllizz*\blizzard error
useruuid is a unique generated key
reporting wow errors will send this id
sending wow errors from multiple account might lead to a link by matching this id
(not sure if used elsewhere)

e) hkcu\software\bllizz*\system survey
another uuid, different from error uuid
as wow sends system data at login this id is likely to show up when logging in

f) hkcu\software\bllizz*\wow\client
Some HWIDs...

interesting... always wondered what blizzard saved there
thank you for interpreting it

Help me out if I'm wrong here. Would this be smart to run if I had multipile instances of running on one machine? I've thought about how could someone "human" be gathering on one account and doing BGs on another simultaneously. Would this fix clear my worries?

yal do realize all these plugins and programs u download, none of them will keep you safe from a ban, if ur account is meant to be banned it will be banned for botting, if u dont get banned well you just lucked out

thanks

Wouldn't it be kind of a 'flag' for blizzard if you do not have these, so they can suspect you?

I would think not as what if you installed a fresh wow client ? it would not have any previous settings stored in these folders from previous characters or login information or whatever. just your current one so it would have nothing to cross reference with.

Confucius' has nothing on you! You're so wise!

Pretty sure everyone is aware nothing is a 100% fail safe. They're precautions to help prevent it. Kinda like precautions are taken to prevent any/all other negative things in ones life from occurring.

[madmaximka]

first - delete all data in this section [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment
then
modify access right in regedit to deny write in this section [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment

 

[standza]

How to do modify access to deny?

Hey roboto,so i launch the del file, accept everything, let it install your trojans (jk ) and thats it?

 

[hellschild]

I'm really tempted to get this as everything Roboto makes is pure gold but I do have some concerns as a previous poster mentioned. Wouldnt it cause concern if nothing at all is written in that registry? Someone mentioned that it would just be as if you had reinstalled wow but would anyone really reinstall every single day (or there abouts)?

trolling or serious? feel free to open the file in notepad and tell me how that two-liner could "compromise" your system

Someone keeps deleting my futurama episodes, I think someone got into my computer.

lol, i was just joking, my q was if it as simple as that or i was missing something. A stupid one at the time, but was asking to make sure.

 

[Macatho]

Is it possible to run this with HBrelog?
