watever if yu know yu nt interested den dnt okay |
The best way to learn cracking (i.e. understanding, broadly individuating, locating exactly and eliminating or suspending or deferring one or more protection schemes inside a software application you do not possess the source code of) is to begin your tampering experiments using OLDER applications which have OLDER protection schemes. In this way you 'll quickly grasp the base techniques of the trade. Do not forget that the evolution of the protection schemes has not been a one way road, strictly speaking it's not even an evolution: you'll eventually find some very clever new tricks, but most of the time you 'll unearth only various trite repetitions of past (and well known) tricks. This is no wonder: the REAL knowledge of the "commercial" programmers themselves (the "protectionists" is often very limited indeed: they areinclined to use the old methods (albeit somehow changed, sometimes even improved) instead of conceiving new methods. This typical "commercial" degeneration happens every time people act for money instead of doing things for the sake of it or for pleasure. This "commercial" trend is blindly encouraged by the stupid, money-oriented society we are coerced to live in. So I'll begin the "hands on" part (-> starting from lesson 3), using as examples, some "old" applications and some "old" tricks. We'll be able to come later over to the newest protection schemes in order to understand them, and you 'll learn how to defeat this kind of junk too. I'll also explain WHERE you can find a lot of programs to crack for next to no money at all, and HOW 'grossomodo', you should proceed in your work. This tutorial is for people who are getting started with cracking. Maybe you are just contemplating doing some cracking, maybe you have tried it with mixed success. If you are here to get aimed in the right direction, to get off to a good start with the cracking tricks and procedures, then you have come for the right reason. I can't promise you'll get what you want, but I'll do my best. On the other hand, if you have already turned out some working cracking code in assembler and already cracked many different protection schemes, then this tutorial is likely to be on the elementary side for you. (If you want to review a few basics and have no where else pressing to go, then by all means stay). In order to crack successfully you need four basic things: * A passing knowledge of assembler language (the more you know, the better and quicker you crack) * Some intuition * Some help from more experienced cracker * A non mercantile mind (more about this later) The applications you'll use to learn with can be divided into: 1 - Password crippled applications (the easiest to crack) 2 - applications crippled on how many times, or how many days, you use them (fairly easy to crack) 3 - applications crippled on which date you use them before (easy to crack) 4 - applications that have some functions present but disabled (sometimes easy, sometimes difficult) 5 - applications crippled on Disk access (protections schemes that are now defined as "obsolete" and applicationscrippled on CD-ROM presence (more or less the same methods, but - somehow- not defined as "obsolete" (very easy to crack)6 - CRYPTOGRAFED ADDS ON (i.e. one of the previous protection schemes, but with some scrambled or self modifying code (XORring and SHRLing codes) (fairly easy to crack) 7 - None of the above (sometimes difficult to crack) WHERE TO GET THE STUFF The recent widespread appearance of "Demo"-CDROM on magazine covers is a treasure for all crackers! A short time after their release you 'll get all the copies that remain unsold for next to free. The demos on CD-ROMs will permit you to gather quickly a lot of applications -old and new- that have somehow been crippled (at times with interesting schemes). Truly a wonderful world of cracking possibilities! Gee! For next to no money you can secure on one CDROM the whole of LOTUS applications (or Microsoft or Wordperfect, or you name them) on "trial for 30 days" or "try it 20 times" editions. You'll really enjoy to crack them, to use them for ever and ever and/or graciously donate them on the Web to the poor lamers that have no money and no brain. GAMES are definitely not to be frowned upon! They are very interesting from a cracker prospective coz they are often "overprotected". With this I mean that they possess protection schemes of a relatively HIGH level hidden inside files that are relatively small. Now, see, it is much more easy, and simple, to track down and eliminate protection schemes inside a single 35.000 bytes long executable file than to locate them inside a collection of many lengthy DLLs and overlaids that could have swollen as long as 2.000.000 bytes each. The lazy bunch of "modern" programmers relies systematically for protection schemes on this "hide the sting in the wide desert" logic. As a matter of fact they are no longer able to program in assembler: they bank more and more on overbloated "fatty" atrocities like Visual Basic, Delphy or Visual C++. (Don't worry, I'll nevertheless teach you how to crack -and quickly- those huge applications too). |
