Hi all,

Can i point me to a essay on how to reverse engineer a program with on like 60 minute use limit before program expires.

Thanks in Advance

I think you can write the assay yourself when you are done with the program.
Disassemble it and look for time keeping API, like GetLocalTime, GetSystemTime, GetTickCount.
The program probably checks the time rather frequently, so it will quit right on time, when the 60 mins are up.
Also look at what happens when it quits: do you see a nag screen, or just stops?

Consider breakpoints in PostQuitMessage or EndProc sort of things.
Time limited Software be it 30 days or 60 min fall into the same scheme.

I found a dll called SHLWAPI.DLL It has StartStopWatch StopWatch in strn ref in w32dasm, so i need a essay on how to change the hex values in order to either remove min. timer or give me a billion millions, but i dont know hex.
Thank You

If you do not know hex, or assembly, and need step by step instructions to reverse your program, you may as well look for a ready made crack.
Try your luck here:

Thank You

Howdy,

You dont need to memorize hex, just get a manual.
