i wonder what's the most expensive piece of software ever pirated Cadence Virtuoso, an ASIC design tool, is reporteldy $1M USD per person per year https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5517341 …

When it was first leaked there was speculation that it was an attempt by NSA to get terror groups to install RATs on machines. Cadence doesn't let people install virtuoso on personal machines, and the encryption is un-fucking-real, so noone has a valid release to compare against.
> un-fucking-real Really? My universal experience is that the higher-end/more niche a product, the more hilariously shitty the security is. Games and video DRM usually have better security. And at least the Cadence crypto they use in FPGA stuff is hilariously trivial.

Cadence's FPGA team is a joke >.<

Let me guess FlexLM lel

Oh I was thinking the RTL encryption. Which is just RSA and Blowfish. And at least a certain FPGA vendor just has the private key embedded in the Verilog compiler, highly secured with XOR™.
