Adobe Golive 5.0 - VBOX 4.3

Type : Editor
Protection : VBOX 4.3
Tech : RegEdit & File Delete


Crack : Have you ever wondered how VBOX keeps track of your 30 day trial.
VBOX is realy a good protector.But it has its own weak points.

If you look in to the trial software i.e Adobe Golive ,we can see a folder "VBOX"
inside it we can see a file named "VSetupT.exe" i.e. inside "Adobe GoLive 5.0 Tryout\VBox\"

Secret Behind VSetupT.EXE :

VSetupT.EXE make four important files in your computer :

C:\os528730.bin
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ws986515.ocx

C:\WINDOWS\Vbox\Licenses\GoLive_5.0_E27D.lic
C:\WINDOWS\Vbox\Licenses\GoLive_5.0_E27D.prf

These files control "30 DAY Trial" :)
I used RegMon to find secret registry keys.
VBOX also creates two secret key in registry :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5EC2F300-3A29-4EF5-F75B-62B236A775FC}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.avi\{28EF5262-6FE3-91EA-E1D5-A0DECE5B5268}

These keys are made on first run .

So my point is that if your trial period is over delete following files :

C:\os528730.bin
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ws986515.ocx
C:\WINDOWS\Vbox\Licenses\GoLive_5.0_E27D.lic
C:\WINDOWS\Vbox\Licenses\GoLive_5.0_E27D.prf

And also use "Regedit.exe" which comes with your windows9x to delete following RegKey:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5EC2F300-3A29-4EF5-F75B-62B236A775FC}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.avi\{28EF5262-6FE3-91EA-E1D5-A0DECE5B5268}

Now last step :

Run the file "VSetupT.exe" to produce a fresh 30 DAY TRIAL copy.Which is found inside :
Adobe GoLive 5.0 Tryout\VBox\VSetupT.exe

NB : I don't know if same registry keys are made by VBOX on all computers.

Quickly restoring the patch in memory avoids page fault.
So each section act as an decryption key.

Patch :

Write String "Asshole" at end of file FCShare.dll and run it ... we can
see that there is no page fault.So that part is not part of key.

File offset : 46F60
In memory :

015F:6011CF60 41 73 73 68 6F 6C 65 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Asshole.........
015F:6011CF70 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

So we will use this place to write our code.


Winnt.h

#define PAGE_NOACCESS 0x01
#define PAGE_READONLY 0x02
#define PAGE_READWRITE 0x04
#define PAGE_WRITECOPY 0x08
#define PAGE_EXECUTE 0x10
#define PAGE_EXECUTE_READ 0x20
#define PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE 0x40
#define PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY 0x80
#define PAGE_GUARD 0x100
#define PAGE_NOCACHE 0x200
#define PAGE_WRITECOMBINE 0x400


Text1.Section
Flag : 60000020 -- Contains executable code + readable
Offset : 2DF


The section we where looking to patch have only Execute and Readonly permission.So we can't use runtime patching directly [ we will end up in page fault ].But there are loop holes ... If we can use some api with Ring0 prvg we can bypass this protection.

How To Patch This Baby :

What we are going to do is to change OEP to 6011CF40 using hex editor and quickly restore its OEP in memory so that Armadillo will think every thing is OKand do our stuff and then jump to real OEP

It is seen that while we reach here data is ready to patch

Note : I get a PAge Fault while closing IE ? But program is working in registered mode..

Special Note to Armadillo programers : You $%#$%^! ,you have no right
to control my PC ... which is my private property.Kick Ass $%^$#%!
