Hi there
I dont know this is a newbie or an advanced topic but anyway..
how can we crack applications which requires an access to internet for verifying valid registeration?

Thanks

you can use several ways to find needed APIs:
1-you can use monitoring such as APISpy,... to trace API running and find
needed network access API.
2-setting breakpoint on APIs such as gethostbyname(),... that usually use
before connecting or other network APIs.

And another suggestion:If you want to use this forum,You should use do
what you promised in signature.Search before posting!

sincerely yours

You can also inspect the data being sent back to a server using some packet capturing software, such as Ethereal, which may or may not assist in reversing. Quite often some interesting info turns up in a packet capture, as people go to all the trouble of online registration checking but then forget (or cannot afford the server capacity) to protect the data being sent out.

thanks guy, i found another approach instead of registering that software, it requires to dump a ASPacked dll and changing it, but something interesting happened! i changed the dumped dll and it works pretty nice in windoZe98 but it doestnt work in winxp ! any idea?
