Hi everybody,

I'm just moving from SI to Ollydbg and have a small problem. I try to write a no-cd patch for my 'Noone lives forever 2 v1.2' but there seems to be some anti-debugger tricks. When I start the file lithtech.exe by double clicking on it, it gives me a messagebox saying that there is no CD. But when I start it from ollydbg (no breakpoints set) it breaks with 'access violation event' and when I disable that (under debugging options) with 'single breakpoint event' and finally 'hardware breakpoint'.
Are this anti-debugging tricks or is it me ?
If people are interested I could post lithtech.exe (1.2M), but I don't know to attach binary files at this forum.

Any ideas ?

MrSmith: you cannt attach files in this forum
... and also this forum is not about cracking, it is only about OllyDbg.

till i will made the FAQ section i will made this kind of warnings about posting
cracking related question, even if it involves OllyDbg. after that all "bad" posts will be deleted without notice!

please, do not post anymore cracking questions !!! remember, this is a free service -> DO NOT ABUSE IT

I agree, cracking threads (such as "help me keygen this commercial program" should just be deleted, or locked. However, I think "crackmes" should be allowed though, as they're an excellent way to learn reverse engineering, analysis, and debugging, and no harm is caused by cracking them.

Anonymous: crackmes are allowed, as all tutorials from OD Stuph page are dealing with, but no commercial programs. there are other forums that deal with this...

TBD: sounds fair enough to me
