Hi everybody!

I have a progg that tricks me every time I'm trying to trace it, its a program for micro controllers a c-compilator.
My problem is that this prog i I'm using is freewere white the limitation in the code size, but in my compilition I need
some rows of code more that the program letting me have.
I need it only once so I don't wont to by the proggy.
Well I'm just modify the maximum code size in the progg, but easier sad then dun,
I end up in some kind of nested loop, I think the programmer knows his assembler.

If there is somebody out ther who kould help me to fool the loop the download is here http://infotech.ir.ro/cvavre.zip 2115 in size

Do you not fucking read?!!! This is a forum, not a crack store!!!!

Then again, only messages posted that offend the moderators will be censored.

Kewl, have fun.

Hoof

(PS. No need to ban me for starting a flame war. If the censoring of posts is going to go on the way it has been then I am not interested in posting on this board any more anyway. Why dont you guys come up with some rules, CLEAR rules that apply to EVERYONE including MODERATORS???? That way, you know where you stand and if your message will be there tomorrow!!)

Hello Hoof Arted !

We have rules. They say not to post any crack/warez request, so everyone should should censor those posts. This is just what you did and what I did some times, too. Nobody will ban us for this.

Quoting someone I don't remember now:
"All people are equal. But some of them are more equal than others."

Here are more messages that offend somebody else, but this somebody else has no possibility to kick users and so the whole story vanishes in the sand. However if someone feels offended and is sitting in a higher position, he might react harder than someone else. This problem is not only restricted to this forum, it happens every day in everyone's life. There are always people who have more power and people who have less power. We can't change it. We can try, but most of the time it gets more worse than it was.

Hoof Arted,

You can't identify a crack request if it's done in a right way. Or actually, you can't identify a lamer cracker that
wants others to tell him how to crack the protection so
he'll have the prog.
Now, I'm not saying this guy is a lamer, but I AM saying
it might be a disguised request. Maybe he wants us to
tell him what to do, and then he wont bother again.

I say, stick for those ppl that come here, share and learn,
and leave the lamers that come and go alone, they don't
concern you, and you can't stop them either hehe

Hi Fake51 !

I didn't want to make anyone think he's an animal.
Here's the correct text:

Quote:
Orginally taken from George Orwell, "Animal Farm"

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS



"Listen!", said the teacher, "For tomorrow you all write a 500 word interpretation of these two sentences. Work hard, I might collect them and give marks on them. Please note down your first impression on a piece of paper and rewrite it in formal english in your exercise book. Start now. You've 38 minutes left."

Hi again !
Thank´s for nothing i fooled the loop by myself.
This was not a crack request, I was hoping that somebody could push me in the right direction
I was thinking I was stuck in a loop mad just to fool me but it wasen't (I think) the problem was to
find the right line of code (jmp near edx*4+xxxxxxxx) the program passing this line many many times and jumping to the same
address except the last one.
for me a tricky one for others not.

Thank's Lord_Soth not judging me in advance and sorry for my bad spelling sorry for everything !!

Hiya

Lord Soth made a point here that I feel bears acknowledgement... The point being that it is *sometimes* difficult to discern a genuine query for help from a disguised crack request. This is especially true with some of the newbie posts. After all, a newbie is by definition, the newest beginner to a field and may yet lack the vocabulary of our RCE trade. Consequently, even with a desire to learn, there is often a burden placed on the newbie's shoulder's to prove he/she is not a "lamer". The fact that not every one who visits this forum has a strong command of the English language makes matters even more difficult.

Having taught myself literally from the ground up, I can attest to the level of prerequisite knowledge facing a beginner in this field. Though its been nearly a year and a half since I first began RCE, I can still remember my first few "cracks"...Y' know, the infamous "change je to jne" (executed without even the knowledge of what an API was). LOL, I still can't believe that I actaully cracked a prog without even knowing what an API was! ...But that little half-blind taste of cracking was enough to inspire me to continue on and actually *learn* something by key-genning that self-same application I'd already cracked (took me 2 whole months of communing with the ASM manual for that first key-gen ) Did my ignorance automatically qualify me as a "lamer"? Does the fact that my first crack was made with the intent to pirate a piece of software still qualify me as a "lamer"?

Clearly, I have learned much from that point and I have been fortunate enough to find a few friends along the way to mentor me through my newbiehood. Indeed, more recently I'm finding my interest in "cracking" evolving more towards pure "reverse code enginering" and programming than simply removing protections from shareware. I suppose my point with this is that the ignorance and attitudes we begin with do not have to be the ones we end up with. Its too easy to become arrogant and cynical as we progress... I have to check my own reactions sometimes. I have to consciously remember where I began and how much further I have yet to travel on this quest for knowledge.

I absolutely do not condone the proliferation of crackz, warez, or serialz on this vast web of ours. But with that said, how many of us got into RCE because we wanted / needed to crack an application for our personal use? Realistically speaking,, how many of us took our *initial* interest in cracking from a facination with the arcane, abstract, theoretical world of academia? I'd hazard to say VERY few individuals here would make that claim. Rather, cracking is more a hands-on, learn-by-the-seat-of -your-pants, slightly illicit thrill that hopefully becomes a stepping stone to the more "legit" persuits of pure reverse code engineering, programming, and data security. Like it or not, there is a symbiotic relationship between crackers and protectors.

As such, I have to take the defense of Oskar. Given the proliferation of crackz and serialz, I'd have to say that demonstrating a desire to crack an application oneself over searching for a ready-made crack indicates a desire to learn. Probably many of us began our interest in RCE in a similar fashion. I personally did not percieve the above post as a blatant crack request, but my criticism lies in *how* the query for help was phrased. As they say, its all in *how* you ask the question... And asking a question while openly admitting a desire to pirate the software in question is a poor judgement call given our current legal problems with trialware.org and such... I'd not suggest deleting posts like this, but perhaps asking the author to revise them.

Well, thats it folks... No flames intended. Just my few cents worth of thoughts...

Best Regards
