toolz: Good HexEditor
       (I like HexEdit alot)

Target:Buddyphone2

Target Address:WWW.BUDDYPHONE.COM



 Ok well lets have a brief description of this program...This program lets people talk to each
other thru thier MIC...A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me to get Buddyphone so that i can
listen to some CD's of his over my puter.But he didnt like the stupid ass Advertising so he asked
me to get rid of it for him...so i did :)
Ok enough of that shit lets getta crackin :)



 Well install Buddyphone and run it...see that annoying ass banner above the GUI??? well thats
the only sign of registration that i found so we want to get rid of that right??? ok well first
thing first, when you see a pop-up like that I always see if it has any affect on the program
and if it doesnt and its just a stupid pop-up it usually means we can NOP it out with our 
trusty Hex Editor. Ok now we need to make a copy of Buddyphone... so either use Win Commander
to do it or I just use MS-DOS..So now we got a copy of buddyphone right??? so lets open it with
our HEx Editor...Done??? well in almost every case the pop-ups or messageboxes are at the bottom
so lets scroll down till we see it...well you might not see it at first so heres the location

:00071DC0

Ok go there and you'll see this


........W.a.n.t. .to
. .g.e.t. .r.i.d. .O.
f. .t.h.i.s. .a.d.v.e
.r.t.i.s.i.n.g.?. ...

Now look to the left at the (........W.a.n.t. .to) part until you see 82 which is about the 7th
set of digits...and 82 means for the pop-up to show so we dont want that right??? so we have to 
NOP it right? and what is NOP in HEX?? yup its 90 so change the 82 to 90 go and save it, then 
close your Hex Editor and open Buddyphone backup...and VOILA no more NAG :)


I tried to go slow and explain what is goin on so that you may be able to apply this knowledge
to another program...I hope you found this helpful but if you didnt follow a certain part just
E-mail me or ICQ message me with your question....bye for now...L8terz
