HOW TO GET VALID SERIAL NUMBER by using SoftIce



1.  Run HTMLPAD.EXE, on the Help menu click Register., in the 
    registration dialog box type these below informations :

	Name	: Pirates Order
	Code   : 73881050

2.  Load SoftIce by pressing [ CTRL + D ], set a breakpoint as follow :
    

	BPX hmemcpy  [enter]   and
   	F5  to return to the main program

3.  Now, click OK button... you'll return back into SoftIce!
    In within SoftIce press F11, F5, F11, then F12 11 times until you 
    reach the main program's code.

    Do a search string as follow : 

	: s 0 l fffffffffff E8 A5 D8 EF FF 8B C8  [enter]
	Pattern found at 0167:00506862

    Create a new breakpoint as follows :

	: bd *  [enter]

		Distributing your serial number is illegal and is no 
			different than distributing illegal 
				copies of the registered 
				 software. Violation of
					this rule may 
					  result in 
			temporary or permanent revocation of this
			     license and cancellation of the 
			              serial number; 
				   the original licensee
			   will also be held responsible for 
			    damages, physical and estimated.


   Do not distribute your crack release based on this tutorial, because
   you become a LAMER(s)!!!!!!!!
   ( tHATDUDE (PC97) defined LAMER(s) is the guy who sits in front of
   personal computer, using Hex Editor, ripping off other group(s)
   crack release, repacking (distro) them under his name. 
   Adopted from newsgroup alt.cracks, alt.crackers - February 1997 ) 

    More about LAMER(s):
	lamer /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang]
	Synonym for luser, not used much by hackers but common among warez 
	d00dz, crackers, and phreakers. Oppose elite. Has the same connota
	tions of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among 
	hackers.
