Welcome to the forum.

No asking for pirated software.

It's not in the rules, but it's not condoned.

Which doodad?

The gizmo doodad or the widget doodad?

Such a thing does not exist. If you want to crack software you need a debugger and to learn some ASM.

Thanx emosaurusrex, where can i find such a debugger?

I have one in my Downloads, its on my server here:

ftp://cvillian.darke..._8.93_fixed.rar

Don't ask me how to debug, i spent a couple hours stepping through and following jump operations before giving up. But maybe this will help:
If I remember correctly, usually there is some kind of native windows library (DLL) which has a method that invokes the CDROM drive, usually to check for some kind of return code that there is a CDROM in the drive. You can usually find that pretty easy.

Manipulating the code so that the actual method which does the protection check returns 'true'... thats the hard part.

Here is a link to the common instructions for x86: http://ref.x86asm.net/

Good Luck. In my opinion, most software security engineers have years of experience, so dont think this is some easy venture you will figure out in a day or two.

Yea, it's definitely something you can't just jump into/figure out as you go.

umm, ok i know this topic is abit old but yea..

im not asking for pirated software, im interested in learning programming, hacking, game dev and hopefully graphic design.
what i mean by software cracking is to have an inside of cracked software you see if i get a job in that line of work and i can see the source of the cracked programs then i would know how to stop it, e.g for companies that need more security.

yes i know, i was looking for how to do it and hopefuly finding tutorials here.

A little something I know about thieves: When you catch a burglar, he'll always pretend he was on his way in, not out.

I always dress casual when breaking and entering. Even get a yogurt out of the fridge. That way when someone catches you, simply apologize for taking the yogurt while making your way out, nothing could be more harmless. -Michael Westin (paraphrased)

Bahahaha

You're not pirating? Kinda find that hard to believe

why?

[SIlhouette]

You don't just learn hacking, game dev, programming and graphic design...

you start with programming, then after a few years, move to graphic design, then move to game development...

Then you see someone cracked your crumby little iOS game on the pirate bay. So you learn how to crack so you can try and prevent it next time.

then you realise learning how to crack didn't really help...

But I guess its handy for cracking games, so you take revenge on the world by cracking every single iOS game in the world and upload it to the pirate bay!!!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

*clears throat* or something like that I guess.
