The full GTA V source code has been leaked The leak contains GTA V source code and stuff from Bully 2 and GTA VI Leaked in a discord server by a random British guy in the 360 modding community known to get sued by Rockstar multiple times
“Now i am expecting a open source version of gta to arrive soon on linux natively . Tired of playing supertuxcart.”
Immediate summary execution.
It’s weird to me that, in this specific community, people is condemning this kid as a cyber criminal and as someone playing for the “wrong side”.
Just corpo simps being corpo simps from what I can tell.
I don’t see anyone simping for corporations, just not rushing to celebrate or defend someone so obviously unhinged.
Also, the point is not to get caught, and he’s extremely brazen about it even when directly under police watch.
There are plenty of other black hats out there that don’t act like this. No one is shaking a finger at them. By all means, crack these corporations wide open.
But this guy in particular is not worth raising up.
Lemmy and the fediverse is filled with SJWs
You went through the trouble of creating a new burner account to post this unconstructive garbage, wow. Starting to see a lot more of this pop up within the past few days. Show that you actually stand behind what you say, and post this from your main account instead so we can block you
No one wants to risk getting their main account suspended for posting a harmless comment. Even reddit was better in regards to that.
Rockstar has made over $6bn USD on GTA5. I have no pity.
Hack the planet.
If you’re not aware the hack was performed by Arion Kurtaj, an 18 year old, who has been put in prison by the uk government. This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat
As far as I recall he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.
It’s not the first young hacker on the spectrum that has urges to hack stuff.
It’s a whole different question when someone is conscious he is doing something illegal and actively seeks to do it.
This is not another Aaron Swartz story imo. It’s an autistic individual that doesn’t hack out of curiosity but in order to damage businesses, and people or benefit himself.
Penetrating is legal cybercrimes.
he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.
In 5-10 years he would change his mind. As of now - kid had no idea about life.
Yea, I mean he’s an 18 year old autistic kid. He’s going to be a bit slower than his peers to develop adult skills and fit in to society. People in here are talking as if he’s unredeemable. He’s still just a kid who has some maturing to do.
He deserved (past tense) all that opportunity before he proved his willingness to use it to do damage. Given his dedication to committing crime, I can’t imagine who would ever trust him enough to want his talents.
This guy defends criminal. What an idiot.
Please look into penetration testing.
Unless his attitude and stance changes, there’s not a single red team that I could see taking him. You can’t just throw someone who wants to be a criminal into pentesting and think it’ll go well
No disagreements here, but this is all something that can change easily, he just need to understand the repercussions of his actions
Not every black hat, even autistic ones, lack an understanding of their actions. Some know perfectly fucking well what they are doing.
This guy rigged up hardware to pull off a massive attack while in police custody. Bro knew full well by that point what the consequences were, he pulled off another attack in the middle of dealing with said consequences
If it’s malicious, it’s not penetration testing. It’s just malicious.
Just what the “security” industry needs. It’s all either talentless hacks, or skilled assholes.
This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.
You’re forgetting a vitally important part of being a pentester.
Namely that they need to be trusted not to leak billions of dollars worth of trade secrets.
This kid is a prodigy as a black hat, but he’d be an embarrassment as a pentester.
I agree with you in principle, you are definitely objectively correct, however people can redeem themselves.
To name two:
- Mitnick (RIP) started as a black hat
- Gollumfun started as a twisted criminal
eight months in solitary
Jesus shit
How about the good old Danny Trejo?
To be fair to those two:
-
Mitnick did much what he did before hacking was even a crime, and almost all of it before offensive cybersecurity was even a viable career option.
-
the damage caused by the entirety of ShadowCrew (4000 odd members) was a drop in the bucket compared to that caused by this single kid
-
neither of them had compulsion issues that would cause them to attempt to hack even while under surveillance.
-
I used to work as a pentester. It’s an open secret that like a good chunk of people in the industry are former criminals. But former is kind of the keyword. Not only is he doing crime after being arrested and still under surveillance, but he can’t even lie and say he won’t do it again. The kid is unhireable, at least not until he can get his compulsions under control.
that’s exactly my point tho, he needs to understand why what he did was objectively wrong, and needs to understand that actions have consequences, but he’s still a teenager, and one with autism at that, there is plenty of time for him to change sides
What did he do that was wrong?
My GF works with autistic individuals and for a majority of them they simply cannot lie, at least not big lies. He may not even see it as being that wrong (probably does know to some extent that it is wrong), especially with all the (correct) rhetoric that companies are scum bastards obscuring the truth. The kid is indeed unhireable for the time being but he could be helped to understand the morals, ethics and laws surrounding his interests to integrate him into the capitalistic world he finds himself in.
I certainly didn’t mean to make any moral judgments about the kid. I’m not even sure that I think it’s morally wrong (unwise and legally wrong, no doubt, I just don’t think his actions hurt any person and I don’t care if an action hurts a corporation). The kid is clearly talented and I hope he gets the treatment he needs. I sure hope he can eventually make a living with his talents and perhaps eventually use his talents towards positive change.
Completely agree, its a waste of useful talents that has through one reason or another has not been influenced in the right direction.
He’s talented, but the problem is jobs like pen testing require a LOT of trust to work in. So far this guy has said and shown that he intents on staying in cybercrime rather than doing legitimate work.
As it stands, given how he’s acted, I can’t see a single company that would let him pen test their systems or a red team that would take that risk to their reputation.
From what I’ve read the kid is a genius but also has mental issues that makes him want to perform criminal acts all the time
The kid was an idiot and a dickhead. He extorted companies and sim swapped people for his private gain, and was stupid enough to continue his hacking spree while he was on bail for another hack.
He could’ve made 7 figures, but decided to go down the criminal route again by using Samsung Dex over Miracast (which the news liked to present as some kind of amazing hacking feat).
He’s currently being held in hospital care for an indeterminate amount of time until the mental health tribunal can make up their minds. He’s violent, damaging property and injuring staff.
He’s going to be put away for a long time, hopefully he’ll change for the better over the years. I don’t get what this “he deserves a stellar salary” mentality comes from. This isn’t some high schooler who found a problem and got sued because they tried to get it fixed, this is a criminal who decided to try to take a shortcut to a life of riches.
Now, he will never work in cybersecurity again, and after his release his devices will probably be monitored for some time. Don’t extort companies, kids, companies don’t hire the “legendary hacker” guys if they can’t be trusted.
Ironically, white hatting generally pays more than black hatting

Yeah I don’t think anyone here disagrees with that; his actions are objectively wrong and as I said, he definitely needs to learn morals and ethics.
Samsung Dex over Miracast (which the news liked to present as some kind of amazing hacking feat)
I mean, duh, the media can’t tell the difference between a computer and a toaster, but that’s besides the point
He’s violent, damaging property and injuring staff.
I didn’t know about this, thanks for sharing. Can I get a source?
I don’t get what this “he deserves a stellar salary” mentality comes from
I’m a firm believer in meritocracy and the importance of rewarding skills. He should still pay a hefty price for his crimes, including jail time, where he will hopefully learn to change his ways, but once he gets out, if he’s truly remorseful for his actions and he’s willing to have others monitor his device usage activities, I don’t see why he shouldn’t be hired by a red team

The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

The thing is, people who are highly skilled at computers and pentesting aren’t that rare. Working in the industry also requires trustworthiness, reliability, communication skills, the ability to work well with others, and many other things - those are all key “merits”, too.
It doesn’t matter how good he is at typing rapidly and then saying “I’m in!” if he’s too unreliable and untrustworthy to actually get work done, or if his communication skills suck to the point where he can’t / won’t convey the problems he finds and how to fix them.
I agree, this kid would be a great pentester.
Not possible if he can do that but not wipe his own ass…
This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison
he is not obedient enough for these corporations as is.
so throw away his talent it is.
An hero
I want to bet this dude is a giant asshole. Not sure why people keep making a hero out of him, he sounds like an awful person.
Maybe, I’ve never met him, but that changes nothing.
Linus Torvalds is a giant asshole and he doesn’t know how to talk to people, he’s still one of the most important people in tech.
Linus is not an asshole, he’s just right and tells his opinions straight without playing games. That’s called honesty.
That… Sounds exactly like how every smart asshole describes themselves. Don’t know anything about Linus, just basing that off your description.
Linus Torvalds never extorted anyone. I don’t see the comparison here.
Yes, you can be a massive dick and have power. You generally need to do something useful first, though, or get born into money.
Torvalds isn’t an asshole because of a nonexistent moral compass. He just has strong opinions, and he’s usually right, anyway.
Absolutely, didn’t mean to imply otherwise
Unfortunate that society punishes those that can do things that a lot of people don’t understand
Social engineering, SIM swapping, and basic data extortion is understood perfectly well, though. It happens all the time, whether it’s North Korean APTs, the Ukrainian Cyber Army or some idiot kid in his basement.
There are plenty of stories about “genius hacker kid tries to do the right thing but gets arrested”, but this isn’t one of them.
A true agent of chaos
Don’t get me wrong, he deserves a long and drawn out lesson on morals
Fuck that. His morals are completely correct.
You have to convince him first it is what he wants to do. He seems very fixated on being a cyber criminal at this time and money is unlikely to sway him.
He can learn once he understands the repercussions of his actions. Remember that he’s an autistic teenager, he has a lot to learn about life and especially morality.
Not like this code could be used in any Open Source project doing something similiar. You know, the Wine and Windows leaks thing.
Anyone got magnet hash so I can seed it?
85a4f24753bbbb4db2821bd01a1a06b3c3a8dc1b
Your the MVP ⭐
Apparently there a full 1tb one floating around.
1Tb torrent. Man, that’s gonna take ages.
That’s what seedboxes are for. I am more than happy to download it only to re-seed.
~22h with 100mbit.
1 Tb of source code ?! Is this really this long or are there all the assets too (musics, textures, 3D models…) ?
The bigger dumps contain assets
Open source Linux GTA with multiple cities would fuck. I’d set up my first dual boot for that.
Citation…?
Okay, my bad. Here is the source
Wrong source but ok /s
I found this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38760031
That’s all I know.
Okay guys, looks like the mediafire one has been taken down, Rockstar lawyers are really freaking out
The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?
Code is pretty small but images, textures, voice lines, etc can crank it up
lol, i think we can agree that 4+ GB of pure letters are not by any means small
Apparently, GTA V has around 36,000,000 lines of code. Slightly more than modern Linux.
Most of that size is assets rather than programme code
Yeah I would be shocked at 4GB of text haha
It’s probably just the code without any assets (textures, 3d models, etc.). Code really doesn’t take much space. You’d have a hard time actually building it to something playable as is, but this is still useful to modders.
Tired of playing supertuxcart.
This makes me want to download it to snoop around.
snoopPING AS usual I see!
Apparently?
Quoting without source?
.py lmao
