freeze protection is a type of EUD-powered protectors.
How does this work?- 1. Read an entire map content.
- 2. Compute a checksum.
- 3. Use that checksum to decrypt map triggers.
How to use? - 1. Download the latest version of euddraft at
here- 2. Extract it somewhere. You'll have euddraft.exe
- 3. Drag & drop your homemade map over euddraft.exe
So it modifies the triggers in the map to be encrypted and places a checksum in the map file, and upon executing the map if the checksum matches what is expected, the triggers are decrypted by the EUD engine?
Is there any practical way to unprotect a map protected in this way? What encryption key is used for each map? I presume it's somehow based on the checksum? Can someone unprotect the map by copying it out of SC's memory?
None.
1. It uses a map checksum as encryption key. No checksum is stored.
2. Because map tampering will result in incorrect checksum, thus incorrect decryption, map just won't work after tampering.
3. One can unprotect the map by memory dumping and some hard work. I don't expect anyone could practically do that
EUD
Oh, so another question: after freeze protection is applied, the map can still be opened by editors (scmdraft etc)? Are the triggers readable, or are they garbage?
Ie, is this changing the map file contents directly?
None.

Triggers become garbage. Location become garbage (though locations can be recovered fairly easily).
IIRC, Frozen maps can be viewed (in encrypted state) via starforge. I've focused on preventing further edits, so I don't think this as a vulnerability. So if you'd like, see how freeze encrypts the map with SF.
EUD
Can this be used on a map thats been compressed w/Tinymap? I think a combination of preventing tampering plus compression would bring us back to the age of when protection was the last word.
Right now, tinymap isn't EUD safe, because it makes a lot of assumptions about unit relationships, using the standard SC rules, so it can make maps with EUDs unplayable. Depends what you're doing with your EUDs though (discuss any concerns with Farty).
None.
I just tried applying freeze protection to my map (which has a lot of EUD triggers in it), and upon hosting I get "unsupported EUD".
I'm assuming that freeze protection is supposed to be supported, since it sounds like Blizzard deliberately went out of their way to support it, but it doesn't work on my map? Combination of EUD actions + EUD freeze maybe?
None.
Now I'm using EUD Editor 2, when I attempt to freeze my injected map, I get these errors:

You cannot freeze a map generated by EUD Editor 2. You should request freeze protection inside EUD Editor.
EUD
According to the EUDEditor2 dev, you should add this line to '추가 eds텍스트' section in the following window.
[freeze]
Don't know how they're presented in the English version of EUDEditor2

Could you make a screenshot showing where to put [freeze]? SEN doesn't seem to support your korean unicode so I have no idea where to put it on that screen.
Edit: NVM, I see it's the "eds" section. Was using linux at work and the text you posted appears as unintelligible garbage, but on windows I can see "eds" in the middle there. Will try it later today!

I tried out the freeze protection as part of EUD Editor, but it fails on my map:

I thought maybe it's because my map has got raw EUD triggers in it, but I tried an earlier version (2.63) which has no EUD triggers at all (from 1.16.1), and it also fails the same way. It looks like it may actually have injected stuff in to the map, as it's now over 900k in size (normally its ~500k), and looking in chkdraft it does appear that there are some extra triggers in there, probably for the freeze, but when I try to play the map I get "unsupported EUD error", so it's clearly not working properly.
I tried it on one of the blizzard melee maps and it worked without error (and I confirmed the freeze triggers are present in chkdraft), so it doesn't seem to be a problem with EUD editor.

None.
I'll look into that on the next week. (Studying for test now)
