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"wink is often very limited indeed: they are

inclined 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"wink and applications

crippled on

CD-ROM presence (more or less the same methods, but -

somehow- not defined as "obsolete"wink (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).
