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."
Here is the source. Another one.
If you're not aware, the hack was performed by Arion Kurtaj, an 18 year old, who has been put in ~~prison~~ a psych ward in a uk prison. He hacked rockstar at a hotel, where he was left with no computers or phones, only to find that the TV had a chromecast, which he used to buy a phone and a keyboard (presumably by selling his monero).
This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.
Don't get me wrong, he deserves a long and drawn out lesson on morals, but also a stellar salary where he can do what he's doing for the right side.
EDIT: I have made a mistake in my original comment, which has been pointed out. My bad, he's technically in a psych ward in a uk prison, because he's aggressive and unstable. I still stand by what I said (and what I clarified in the comments below), but I wanted to correct the record
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.
He'll learn great lessons in jail! /S
That’s why he’s in a prison hospital instead. I think they are called psyche wards or mental institutes in some places.
Don't get me wrong, he deserves a long and drawn out lesson on morals,
So do the executives of rockstar and every major game studio.

I keep hearing this.
Find me any company that will hire someone so unstable and destructive, and I'll show you a company with bad hiring practices.
This is someone you can never count on to do anything they don't want to do. Someone who will destroy things if they don't get their way. Triple letters won't touch him.
Also, let's be clear, a lot of this was social engineering. He didn't do anything impressive, he just did things others wouldn't be brazen enough to do because they didn't want to get caught.

definitely, but people can change
a lot of this was social engineering
people always have a high and mighty mentality when talking about social engineering, most attacks today use some form of social engineering and have for a long time, if not always.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
No one is condemning him for hacking Rockstar. They're defending the decisions to put him a hospital because he's unstable. It doesn't help anyone having this kind of black hat shit being so public, sloppy, and visibly unhinged.
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.
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?
There are 3 leaks in circulation:
4.3 gigs, src only
17 gigs, src + partial assets
1 TB, src + full assets
Data hoarders where you at?
Holy shit a whole terabyte? God damn.
All the code, commit history, build scripts, used assets, unused assets, modified assets, random extra stuff.
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.
This will finally put mount chiliad conspiracies to rest.
Tired of playing supertuxcart.
Lmao GTA6.py
As a release engineer for Electronic Arts for 13 years, this looks like to me a copy of either the source folder from Perforce, a devs machine that had synced a stream, or the same from a build machine. It's not uncommon to use batch files and python scripts to reconfigure a workspace to switch workspaces. I see a solution file in there.
I would bet that particular file is an automation script to configure a machine for development.
Great. Put it on torrents before rockstar files a lawsuit.
Apparently?
Quoting without source?
Open source Linux GTA with multiple cities would fuck. I'd set up my first dual boot for that.
It's written in Python? Is that why it takes ages to load?
I couldn't care less about holidays but this right here made my Christmas :D
