ZipClean by NE(c)RO'99 [DoB] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this tutorial I will teach you how to crack ZipClean of CFA. Url: http://pages.ripco.com:8080/~swb/ Target: All programs have the same registration routine, so ... Cracker: NE(c)RO'99 [DoB] Type of program: Serial protection with computername Code language: Visual Basic Cracked with Smartcheck Well, this is a verry easy target, so just d/l it and install. You'll get a pretty image when it start's.. (A crackers live could be so beautifull... :-) Well, if you've installed it, you'll get a annoying splash screen and a (irritation) sound. So, what do we dont? We like registered software, so there we go. Launch smartcheck, open the program, and launch ZipClean with it. You'll see zipclean starts when you press [F5]. Now you need to register. But, the serial is different for each computername. Enter a fake serial (I use 2244668800), but you only see stars... Now, you'll get a annoying box which says: Nope, that's not the wright code But, in some minutes, you'll gonna get the wright one. Close ZipClean and go back to Smartcheck. Now you see this: + Command1_Click Just click on it. The first thing you can click on and which will give you some information (in the right window): LEN RETURNS LONG: ******** Click on this and it will show you your computername. Now, scroll down. When you're at the bottom, you'll see this: | Right: | Left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(We need this)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Text2.text | + form5_Unload | MsgBox returnes Integer: 1 (here you see you were wrong) | Str$ | ----------> Command1_Click (the end of Command1_Click) So, we see.. Left: Click on it.. (at the last 2 lines) ="8852274100668" Long length = 10 0x0000000A (this 10 points on the number of char's we need to give as serial,so finaly my serial should be --> and IS 8852274100 But these characters are diferent for every computername. So, I hope you understood this, and I hope you'll gona read my tutors in the future. Cya l8er.
