Hi All. Not sure if this should be offtopic, but......
Have found that there is a crack on the net for my software (fortunately its
out of date).
This is a surprise to me, because the reg code I use is very powerful and
uses 32-bit encryption on several different checks, including the
hdserialnumber.
Which makes me think, and maybe you can confirm that:
Do these buggers do a dissasembly, and check for program patterns which
typify startup reg code. EG conditional jumps in the startup code which may
indicate registration checks.
It would appear so, because what their crack code does is rebuild the EXE.
If so, that is interesting to me, because it leads to another aspect of
software protection which is outside the regimes of software protection
components, in that the protection is lost due to the vulnerability of the
EXE itself. Or, to be clearer, if a regcheck is done at the start of a
program by you, and it is correct, you set one boolean variable right? If
that can be cracked, the whole program is then compromised.
Thanks,
Al+
