Hi everyone,
Cool site cool content cool people ! Greetings from Istanbul.
I have an application (App.exe) with environment files below.
File monitoring toolbox couldn't capture it but manual checking gave positive relationships between ;
App.exe - main application
SKCLNET.dll - returns a value to be used in startup of App.exe
AppUtils.dll - various stuff but not related to startup serial prompt
ClAll.dll - wtf is this anyway :)
These are the files needed to view startup serial prompt.
My concern is that when I do patch 2bytes of the code (actually doesnt matter the size, problem remains) patched exe gives a generic 'inconvenience' error and wont run.(couldnt grab the error code yet but same error occures when removing one of the files above).Form asking for serial in App.exe calls ShowTriggerDlg() from SKCLNET.dll which finally returns ValidateorNot() to App.exe.
Something catchy about this is that it does not make any difference if I kill serial prompt from App.exe or SKCLNET.dll, either way program does start and end with a generic error.I tried lots of different bytes to get over it but no luck.I checked if there is an external function or file just to validate integrity of these files - but no clue. :mad:
Application is not a sophisticated one, maybe some not well-know protection (Protection Plus?) technique is used.And yes you are right I do suck at .NET stuff :D
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Cheers!
