-----cut here------------------------------------------------------------------- How to crack for a random serial Count Down Timer 1.3a Target: Count Down Timer 1.3a (57344 bytes) WWW: http://www.nettaxi.com/citizens/HackSoft/index.html Cracker: --..__J_o_h_n_n_y__A_U_M__..-- (TNT) Protections to be removed: unique type of serial Tools: Hiew, W32Dasm & Windows Commander 4.03 --------Motto for my actions:------- I'm for peace, love and prosperity and one global nation but without money to divide us and without ego, who keeps men separated! Be a man of good sense - be naturally, be divine! Try to progress on spiritual way! No God, no freedom! I'm against tyranny under any form, against mondial iudeo-masonic occult domination and against infiltrated bad rase of aliens! Out with Satan from this planet! Real happiness, free and freedom for all! -------- I'm in a harry, because I must send to TKC my tuts and I still need a new one and clock is running quickly. So, I pick a shareware program from my archive, this Count Down Timer 1.3a, let's see it fast. 1. Disassemble with W32Dasm a copy of countdown.exe - > y.exe . 2. Let's take a look in the code, some exploration first... 3. After I take a deep look in the code, I observed not more but a helpfull thing: this code is the type like the one from ConFigSafe 3.06.04 (look for my tut -> tkctut 85/part 1). This mean that I should look for typical words, strcmp, remove, etc, may work... So let's take a close look to "IMPORT MODULE DETAILS"... aha, here at "Import module 002 MSVCRT.dll": are words like "strstr", "mbscmp", etc. 4. This word "mbscmp" is talking himself: must be something with string comparations. Let's search in W32Dasm after "mbscmp"; are 2 cases: a. 4039DA and is jump there a little down; b. 403CAC and is a jump there also; Let's try this jumps, let's modify them, is very probable (I say from my experience) that we are on the right places! The first, nothing no sign of registration (hiew 39E5 - 74 -> 75). The second (hiew 3CC0 - 74 -> 75)... WOW, it's working with any serial!!! The proggie said: "Thanks You For Registering"! I made some tests to be sure is working, ya, all it's just OK. Believe it or not, this method should be tryied first when you see some code like the one from our program, or like in ConfigSafe. This method is very fast and accurate. I encountered other programs that works to be cracked in this manner. Remember this method! I know, this program can be cracked with Softice, either for serial, either through breakpointing the nags, etc. But I'm still in a harry, bye now! ---------------- Greets: tKC, CIA, TNT (nice guys!), to all crackers, PRO or newbies, all cracker teams (keep going, we must eliberate from iudeo-masonic tirany, all must become free), we are great guys, and nice too. I love you all but be a good soul! Romanian Greets: Toate cele bune oamenilor inimosi din Romania! O sa vina si zile mai bune! Incercati sa evoluati spiritual daca vreti sa fiti fericiti! At last, but from all my heart: I love you Heavenly Father, I know you are with me all the time!!! God is pure love! Try this: www.geocities.com/john_aum Incredible infos for YOUR EYES ONLY!!!
