Hi there,
i'm quite new to reversing and up till now have only made cracks using wdasm. Now I would like to move on and try softice. My target is bryce 5 trial which is vbox protected. I've read +tsehp's tut on it and I it might be a bit too much for me, but a try never hurts
When I try running vbox together with sice 4.05 or trw2000 I get a pirating message and it won't run. Also newest procdump gives an error when dumping.
Do I need some additions to sice to keep it from being detected?
Any comments are welcome

Tnx, MH2K

btw the packed executable is 5Mb alone, so a vbox removed exe will probably not show up as a crack.
Doing it yourself is much more rewarding anyway

to +Tsehp: Amok has released a great utility to remove the vbox (also version 4.5) related files and reg-entries, so 30-day trial is reset. Downside is you have to reinstall
vbox cleaner 1.0 util can be downloaded from their website

CU, MH2K

Use Icedump, frog's ice or conutless others to hide s-ice. Or do it manually and learn: either download frogs ice and check the doc that comes with it, or find some info on anti-softice trix. The last option is ofcourse recommended.
