Sentinel query/response emulation : available tools? how-to?

[exploder]

I am trying to emulate a Superpro that has a very simple set of 10 fixed query/response pairs to an algorithm. TORO's monitor (all versions) has shown that this is very reliable.

I have searched high and low for an easy approach to emulate this, since simple emulation (TORO's .reg dumps) won't work. The only tool I can find that seems to do it is on exetools. And of course NOT AVAILABLE to all but the very lucky. See below for info.

It's my guess that this is the perfect for many poorly protected programs, and I know it would work for the one I'm fighting with.

Q. Is there anything else that can do this kind of query/response emulation? Am I missing something that's stupidly obvious?

Q. Can the tool from atomix be found anywhere else? (eg. rapidshare)

Q. Me stupid newby. Why would TORO disable the saves in his 2.xx monitor? Are we supposed to hack it first? Why no instructions anywhere? Perspective please?

Thanks in advance for any help with this. I have spent many many hours trying to get up to speed, and it's not easy.

2. Use Toro's sentinel monitor v1.6 or 1.7 (the newer one did not work for me, error code 2 at start up) to read the dongle and save the *.dmp file.
See the included Sx32w.dmp as dump template.
...
4. Just copy the attached sx32w.dll over the original one and put the sx32w.dmp file (not the included nul template but the one you get from Toro's monitor!) in the same folder. Note that there is no error handling code in the .dll so make sure the .dmp file has the correct format.

Hi explorer,

if you have extracted all q/r, then you can simply use SentEmul from UCL; the .reg file for this emulator has a simple format and a sample is included in the package too.

Thanks for the fast reply.

...you can simply use SentEmul from UCL...

I can't find it, although I probably already have it. All the forums I know including this one, Emule, and google, have no clear answers to where/how/why. I have so many versions of all this stuff, and have been through so many forums, that I'm nearly ready to just write my own sentinel.sys driver for this program. It's only a few functions, and only a couple of them need return values other than 0. Those can come from very simple select/case logic. I just need to find a V7 SDK since the tutorials all do V6 stuff.

Maybe if you have a sample .reg file to show it would shed some light, since I think I have the other bits, but not the ULC package you are talking about with its example.

Thanks again.

You can download the UCL sentinel emulator at: http://rapidshare.com/files/34999754/sentinel_emulator2.20.zip.html
Enjoy it.

I can emu it . Please use the dumper2.exe to dumper the dongle data.

Thanks. However I am really curious to see what UCL Emu is like. Pl share that too.

Hi shiyuna,

where can I find dumper2.exe?
