CODEX (also known as CDX) – is a warez group founded at the end of January 2014. They are known for releasing copies of games which use Steam licensing and also for emulating Ubisoft’s Uplay DRM protection. They were accused by the warez group SKIDROW of stealing their code to crack Trials Fusion, something CODEX denied, stating that they had written their own code for the DRM emulation. From 2016 to 2018 they have been one of the most active warez groups releasing commercial computer games. In late 2017 CODEX gained notoriety by becoming the third scene group (and fifth overall entity) to crack Denuvo DRM when they released a cracked version of Middle-earth: Shadow of War on its release date. CODEX collaborated with STEAMPUNKS on at least one game which used Denuvo DRM, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, which they released under the name “CODEPUNKS”. In February 2018 CODEX began releasing cracked copies of games from the Microsoft Windows Store. In June 2018 CODEX released a cracked version of Forza Horizon 3 and the crack included with it was discovered to be a generic Windows Store licensing API emulator for most games using Windows Store licensing DRM. In mid-2018 CODEX began releasing cracked copies of games featuring the latest versions of Denuvo DRM, including updated versions of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Far Cry 5, both of which used Uplay licensing DRM and contained additional anti-modification and anti-debugging code through the use of VMProtect.
On February 1, 2019, CODEX published a cracked copy of Resident Evil 2, which used Denuvo DRM, 7 days after the worldwide commercial release of the game. On June 27, CODEX released a crack for Star Wars Battlefront 2 after 527 days of its release. On October 29, they released a crack for Borderlands 3, another Denuvo protected title 46 days after release, Currently, it is the most constant and active group of the last games with different protections.
