Haven't been posting here for a while, but I came from time to time to read through the posts, but here's my latest problem.

Some friend of mine asked me to crack mIRC Stats 1.18. So I tried to do this. Bad luck, a keyfile is needed (called License.txt) to get it registered. First of all: I hate that. And then, I tried to disassemble it. No success here, only some RVA crap. Then SI didn't want to popup on OpenFile. So Im kinda stuck here, if only I could disassemble it well...

I'd appreciate it if anyone could have a swift look at it and maybe give me some clues. d/l url: http://home.wanadoo.nl/argoth/mIRC Stats 1.18.zip

Grtz all

Hi Argoth,

I see you speak about keyfile. Have you tried following (not only OpenFile) breakpoints?

ReadFileA
WriteFileA
CreateFileA (my fav. ... )


Bye,

i have given him a (fast...) look.
the proggie is packed with upx and maybe this is the reason you are not able to disassemble it.
the OpenFile api is not imported by the proggie so SI didn't popup. use (as stealthFIGHTER said) CreateFileA and ReadFile

Ok, thanx for your help. I'll have a look for a upx unpacker and I'll try to break on the other API
