Quick question. Is there a way to, as in softice, set a breakpoint on for example hmemcpy in Ollydebug? I am working on this target (BillPro) and I have cracked it already (really easy to patch) but to keygen it is more of a challenge for me as I haven't keygen'ed any app before. Therefore I have to follow the methods used in keygen tutes pretty close and the problem is that most are written for softice. As I don't have softice I was wondering if I could achieve similar results in ollydebug? I know how to set normal breakpoints on interesting calls etc. Thanks.

btw I recommend this target (BillPro) for newbies as it's quite a fun target and good learning experiance (well for complete newbies like me anyhow).

btw anyone here know a good board for discussing game protection cracking like starforce, tages, safedisk etc.?

****btw anyone here know a good board for discussing game protection cracking like starforce, tages, safedisk etc.?

All protections are discuss in here afaik

hmmm. the exetools page seems to be down. I'll try it later... thanks for the info. The manual for ollydebug... never thought of that I'll check the web site. Thanks.

Hallo cHeCksUm,

I don't know in which language is you target coded but try to use alternative breakpoints, such as GetWindowText, GetWindowTextLength, GetDlgItemText (Ctrl+N in OllyDbg).

If it's in Pascal/Delphi these breakpoints won't help you .

Thanks for the help. I will try it. The program is written in C so I guess it should work.
