-INTRODUCTION:
--------------

Securom is a well known anti-copy protection by Sony DADC that identifies if 
a CD is "authentic" through a special authentication mechanism. In that process, 
they save a fingerprint which assign an unique number in each CD-ROM title.

UnSecurom 1.0 can remove the Securom protection in every game launch one or two
years ago protected with this system.


-------------------------------------------------
-HOW TO DETECT IF A CD IS PROTECTED WITH SECUROM:
-------------------------------------------------

If you run a game without CD, you'll get a cool message that says "No disc
inserted". Moreover, if you edit a file protected with Securom with a PE editor,
(like Procdump, PEditor, etc.) you'll see two section called ".cms_t" and
".cms_d".

A lot of people think that Securom doesn't change its protection from a long
while (1-2 years). That's not true. Aesthetically they are the same,
but internally they aren't. But, hey!, don't worry Unsecurom 1.0 can detect
and remove these new versions of Securom :)


--------------
-REQUIREMENTS:
--------------

Unsecurom 1.0 needs the original CD or a DAO RAW copy with SUBCODES to remove 
the Securom protection.

Unsecurom is compatible with Win95/98/ME but NOT with WinNT/2000 :(


--------------------------
-HOW TO USE UNSECUROM 1.0:
--------------------------

Insert a "right" CD and select the file protected with Securom (usually is the  
main executable). If everything is ok, in approx 1 minute, you'll get your game
without Securom ;). 

The obtained executable MUST work fine with a normal copy (Nero, CdrWin...). 

DO NOT USE Unsecurom to sell ILLEGAL copies!
  

------------------------
-NOTES for SONY-SECUROM:
------------------------

We have seen that SECUROM is a GOOD protection. We must say that we have enjoy 
a lot with some techniques like Anti-Hardware Breakpoint (BPM), Checksum,
APIs-IATs redirection,... it's a pity that there are some backdoors in your 
Securom ;)


-------------
-FINAL NOTES:
-------------

In this ZIP you'll find the SOURCE CODE of Unsecurom 1.0 (only in Spanish).
You can modify it freely, but if you find a bug or you improve something,
we'll be glad if you tell us your improvements/bugs ;)

We have released the source code cos we have NOTHING to hide. Maybe Sony
will use it  to change/improve something in Securom but, if ZEN wants,
we'll be here with a new Unsecurom...
