hi folks, maybe this question is stupid,
but i'd like to try unpack/debug elcom soft software
'cause it changes regcodes in each version and get 'em ever
too late

could any1 advice what packing method used (& if possible suggest an unpacker) and how (if even) to trap common dialog routines (seems their soft doesn't use win api calls)

TIA

Elcom uses good old asprotect, and a check to see if the aspr api is resident.

Their apps are usually written in Delphi, hence you don't get all the calls you are expecting.

Hello _Servil_ !

They also use the ASProtect key signatures, so even if you're able to unpack an ASProtected application, some code will be still missing without a valid registration key.

DaikenDX,

blacklisted serials are useful

Hello Kilby !

Blacklisted serial are good for unpacking, but are disabled in the next version. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but ASProtect allows only one password for the key signatures (= serial) and this changes as soon as the serial appears on the internet. There are some hash values that the serial is compared against, but only the actual password for ASProtect is a 'good' serial.

Hi all hello kilby

In serial you have a Common key used to decrypt code and a personal part.
If you have a blacklisted serial you can decrypt code and save .text section !
I use same serial to rebuid ARCHPR new version.
