Anyone how WinXp hibernate(sp?) works?

Doesnt that dump you current mem to the HD??
Then reading that on the HD how would SOE detect it?
(I realise there is various issues with this)

Immediate problem I see with this is the fact that say you did dump the memory to the HDD to hibernate the system. Well, considering you are gonna have to do that EVERY FRAKKING TIME YOU ZONE... hehehe....I suppose if you were just gonna stay in one zone the whole time you could get away with it. But have fun trying to read things out of the .sys file that XP dumps to. Not even sure if you are allowed to open it, never bothered to try. besides that when the system resumes (and I may be wrong on this) that .sys file dumps everything straight back into memory and you are no where closer to getting it off your HDD than you were before. Unless of course you have something like R-Studio to snag "Forgotten" info off your HDD. Even then, thre is a fairly decent chance that while windows is coming back up, it may overwrite the particular sectors where that .sys file is (although not likely at all) in which case R-Studio would do you 0 good.

So then you would have to use another computer to read the info in the .sys file, which would just add that much more hassle. Can it be done? Probably. Is it at all practical? Nope. Not one little bit. Does it decrease your chances of being caught? Not really.

Oh, one more thing. When you hibernate the system...you WILL be disconnected from EQ. IN which case even if you DID manage to read the key, by the time you got around to using it, it would be useless as another one would be assigned.

Hybernate will also most likely make you go LD, what you would need to do is make a system file fail and have windows (only nt/2k/xp) do a full core dump and read from there.

I would not recomend that, the ony person I know that could pull it off 1.Hates SEQ Users 2.is too Uber already to need any cheats(yes, I deny that is cheating also. But it IS).

This is not a very simple task. I am sure to some programmers it is. I have watched him reading 2gb dumps before and know what services were running and I dont think many people can do that, I guess thats why he gets the big bucks and is able to play EQ 12+hrs a day.

Im not saying hybernate the system. but I core dump or a part of a dump is possible I was thinking. I was just wondering how hibernate does this I doubt it Reads everything individually and how detectable is it by the game.

Like i said their is various issues with this approach but i was just spitting out an idea that was in my head and was wondering opinions/ or if anyone had any knowledge on it. (Actually came from just thinking about how vunerable this must leave a computer)

I don't like calling Dr Watson on every zone in ... not a practicable way, beside that waht SeqTester already said :)

realise it isnt practical from many points, but my initial thought was how does hibernate do its memory dump?
