I have also created a patcher from the GitHub repo https://github.com/N1ght420/Sublime-Patch incase you do not know how to use a hex editor. This patcher was created with dUP2, and also includes the setup. The patch.rar archive password is 123

Virustotal for patcher is here

Virustotal for patcher + setup is here

Download: https://www.mirrored.to/files/0LBL9JOI/Sublime_Text_v4152_x64___Patch_0.rar_links

Enjoy!

@Aholicknight Virustotal result for the patcher looks scary : 44 security vendors and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious

@Aholicknight Virustotal result for the patcher looks scary : 44 security vendors and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe It shows 44 flags because I created the patcher with dup2, a very popular patcher that scene groups use, which is available here

This patcher also makes no internet connections, does not interact or even open any other files on the computer except the target exe (sublime text).

If you still do not trust me that it's just false positives I also uploaded the patcher on JoeSandbox, which can be seen here: https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/1290344

@Aholicknight I prefer to patch in web browser (without download or run anything) like this https://destitute-streetdwelling-guttersnipe.github.io/RomPatcher.js/#{"PATCHER":[{"name":"sublime_text_4154","file":"data:;base64,VVBTMQAgboMAIG6D+pUXwPqVF8AybecD"}]}

If anyone is on windows or linux, I made a simple patcher in python for 4152 (stable). https://github.com/socialfright/subzerox
Linux is untested.

4160 is out and the resolution for its crack is the same as I posted on 9/18.

Im working with Ubuntu 22.04.3 and currently every which way i have tried to replace the file or put the new one in it has failed. Not sure if its just an Ubuntu thing or if i just need to crack the lock on the read only folder that sublime_text is stored or if there is a different location. (I have even tried changing the permissions of the folder but it says its already a read-write, but also tells me its a read only when i try changing permissions via terminal)

@xovtar what about change user to root then replace the file?

So for Linux/Windows x64, I have created a Sublime Text 4 plugin which can patch itself.
Tested working on Sublime Text latest stable/dev build: 4168/4169

https://github.com/n6333373/sublime-self-patcher

Quick Demo

dev.mp4

stable.mp4

will you have a release for the new update version 4166 linux ?

thanks Mate works like charm in both linux and windows 11

If I were people, I'd rather avoid a compiled DLL from someone who created their first repo a week ago and wait for an open-source version.

After patch just enter anything to license and it should work.

Thanks man, it works perfectly.

@Hazuki-san, you forgot the patch for licenseNotifyThread. @leogx9r didn't mention it in the analysis, but put it in his/her own patcher script. See https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47?permalink_comment_id=3802197#gistcomment-3802197

One possibility is that it the place it should be placed is Menu > Preferences > Browse Packages... rather than the Packages folder which lives aside sublime_text.

Thank you for your answer. But I found a better method:

sudo sed -i 's/\x80\x78\x05\x00\x0f\x94\xc1/\xc6\x40\x05\x01\x48\x85\xc9/g' /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

@vodiylik you should also prevent ST from notifying its server about your ST.

Do we have something for macOS build 4169?

Success
@pop-os:/opt/sublime_text$ sudo ./sublime_text
while its open in admin mode. Preferences > Browse Packages
Folder will open ...paste SelfPatch folder here.
Navigate back to Sublime. Help > Patch this application
Restart sublime [relaunch normally]

I really hope no one is using that self patcher package. Hopefully @defencedog and @janabil are fake GH accounts (given lack of any real activity / loc) but if not almost certainly screwed as is @vodiylik . The binary uses TBF https://github.com/secretsquirrel/the-backdoor-factory possible to do legit patching with it? Sure. Are there far easier methods that don't use a literal backdoor kit? yes.

@JavaTryCatchMe do you have any proof or links you can provide if they have been using TBF?

@JavaTryCatchMe we are not fakes! Maybe some PC knowledge is required to understand how to apply patch

The patch is legit, I've used it on Linux and Windows and it works.

The patch is legit, I've used it on Linux and Windows and it works.

it is not hard to apply the patch. I am not even saying it doesn't work. Plenty of malware disguises itself as something legitimate and may even do that legitimate thing (or in this case the act of cracking the application). Plenty also does not do anything suspect for some period of time, or even for most users only phoning home with some basic information and to wait to see if it should do something else or run something truly malicious.

What I am saying is you are running closed source binary executable code in full trust situations on your system from a stranger. I am saying that the binary itself has code in it from "The Backdoor Factory" linked above, that is a toolkit primarily used for remote code execution and root kits.

It is not impossible that code is used in a non-nefarious way but there are also plenty of ways not to use it.

If (hopefully) ones suspect level of random strangers binaries is a 8/10 by default and then that binary has ties with a known backdoor maybe think twice about running it...

@JavaTryCatchMe

I am the author of SelfPatcher. Please do share the proof you've found that my patcher uses TBF github.com/secretsquirrel/the-backdoor-factory. That would be interesting.

The only 3rd-party lib I used is https://github.com/secretsquirrel/SigThief whose code is fairly short and I believe it doesn't use TBF. I believe I don't I use TBF for sure. The only thing left is https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka which I used to compile my module into .pyd/.so files. I don't believe it uses TBF for sure (otherwise, a big news).

Fwiw, people are less active here. https://gist.github.com/maboloshi/feaa63c35f4c2baab24c9aaf9b3f4e47 is much more active. Actually, SelfPatcher is open-source to some of trusted cracker there, but you don't have to believe me.

First, sorry @Aholicknight sorry I missed your initial comment requesting what I found related to TBF. I saw the defencedog notification and the reply after that, and didn't scroll back far enough.

@n6333373 if I made a mistake, and spending some more time in IDA it is likely so, I apologize. After being pointed to the plugin I noticed the binary distribution which was a bit odd, rather than just the dependencies/tools. I spent about 10 minutes looking for anything horrific originally. It involving compiled python always adds a layer of abstraction. There wasn't anything obvious. There were no obvious network imports but these things can be hidden.

Only a spurious comment about code from BDF.

This paired with the one obvious link as well in the code of "https://github.com/sponsors/secretsquirrel" which first and foremost talks about their primary project of the Back Door Factory and malware related topics.

Again this was a dozen minutes reviewing a suspect random binary in an area where things can often be fraught with malicious code. It wasn't run, there was no deep analysis.

So of course with the comments I went back and took some more time.

As I see it now now:

• After running the extension sandboxed and reviewing the changes made to the assembly on the main executable there is almost certainly no malicious changes made.

• The references I found, while existed, clearly were not from the BDF library but the SigThief library @n6333373 mentioned. Specifically https://github.com/secretsquirrel/SigThief/blob/ffb501bcd86acd439e4458a33e9fc5ebed4b59a8/sigthief.py#L14 . SigTheif doesn't do anything malicious only transfer signatures between PEBs and is not used in a malicious way here.

• There are no other signs of anything malicious, network connections, etc. This isn't a full breakdown but again with a deeper dive than a glancing pass. Can things hide through something like this? Sure but is it likely here? no. I will note I only looked at the windows binary and not the linux library.

As I said at the top and will say it again now, I was almost certainly wrong. @n6333373 is quite believable and I am sorry for the hasty conclusions I initially made.
