Ok do not flame me .. I HAVE read everything i could find on CRYPKEY 6 (which was only posts here by squidge & others). I have googled my brains out looking for the 6.0 SDK and came up empty. WDasm is of no use. SoftIce will not run on this PC so i have been using Olly and Hiew. Finally i realized the crypkey calls and protection etc and have been researching that for a week now. I have my site code and have decoded it via ckinfo, but now i am at a loss of what to do next or what tools i need to use for 6.0.

I am new at ASM and reversing but grasp the basic concepts (I think). I have limited experience in writing basic code(VB, COBOL, C++, JAVA).

I have read TNT'S Crapkey ..oops tutorial (too no avail).
Woodmans Crypkey text
Fravia;s CRypkey removal

When i read woodmans and fravia i could understand them but they are of little help with a 6.0 problem ... and i just got lost in TNT's and need "instructions for the instructions".

Sooooo... now .... what do i need to do? Is it too advanced for a newb? I have completed a couple of the crackmes, but cannot find anything pertinent to my crypkey problem. When i open with olly the "program entry point is outside the code as specified ,....blah blah"

IS there any material anywhere else to help me figure this out anyone willing to point me towards something here?

Please do not flame, this is the ONLY place i have found ANY info on crypkey6. App is protected by version 6.1 (cki32j.dll). After tons of "googling", Yahoo, and atsa and others i am declaring myself stuck.

Thanks,

Commercial protection systems like CryptKey might be a little too hard for a newbie to begin with, yes. You should get some experience with easier protections first, serial fishing, time trials, easy packers and such. Then make an attempt of understanding the instructions in that TNT tut again, that's the best advice I can give, good luck!

thanks, afraid that was gonna be the answer. back to the boring little tuts and crackmes.

Thanks

Does the program which protected by CrypKey 6.0 run normal?
Please give a link.

I also met the same problem with you, and I even don't know which version that my app was protected, I also tried to dig out some useful information from internet, but it's really so poor.

Its been a while since I last looked at crapkey. (Note the spelling. Try a search on that on this board and you will find more info.)

I would be interested in the target name (PM only do not post here).
The reality of 6.X was that they implemented anti cloning i.e harddisk ID included into their standard protection.

An easy way to defeat most cryptkey software is to remove the User and Master Key's from the executable. They are stored in plain text and are really easy to find. Once you have those you can generate a key using a modified crypkey sdk keygen or ckinfo in some cases. Finding the OEP can be hard sometimes, but generally is fairly easy also. Make sure you create a loop where the program enters through the loader, then dump it. Otherwise you will have an encrypted piece of software, which won't run even once you change the OEP.

hi,fluxin , can you gine me more about crypkey6.0 uppack information??? a tour is good!
