How to crack any Program / Software
How to crack any Program Hey all together! I think it’s a nice tutorial and i learned much from it.
How To Crack Programs Yourself
Usually when a program is updated, the patcher to crack the program will no longer work because most cracks will verify filesize and has CRC32 checks. Although the patcher won’t work, it is possible for you to create your own patcher to crack the latest version of program “BASED†on the previous crack.
Here is how you can create your own crack based on also previous the crack. I am teaching you this because I want to show you the logic. Do take note that this method will not earn you the title “CRACKER†or “REVERSE ENGINEER†but it does make you a bit smarter
A crack usually works on specific version of a software. For example, a crack that is made for version 2 usually won’t work for version 3. Even a crack for subversion of program such as 2.1 can’t work with software version 2.2. That’s because most of the time when a bug is found on a software, the developer will fix the bug and recompile the code. The place(offset) where the crack is supposed to patch is no longer at the original place, thus making the crack useless. Most of the cracks has filesize and also CRC32 check feature to make sure you’re using the crack on the correct version of a software. Simply patching any version will result in the software itself become unstable.
OK, let’s get started with a scenario. You have a software called RayCalculator v2.2 and there’s already a crack for it. Now the updated RayCalculator v2.3 is out but currently there’s no crack. The RayCalculator v2.2 crack can’t be used to crack the RayCalculator v2.3 because it failed the filesize and CRC32 check. Here’s how you can POSSIBLY create your own working crack for RayCalculator v2.3 based on the RayCalculator v2.2 crack.
Most cracks can create a backup of the original file in case you need to restore it back. then You need to check the program’s folder to find out the backup filename. also If the original filename is raycalc.exe, most probably the backup filename would be raycalc.exe.bak , raycalc.exe.old , raycalc.old or raycalc.bak.
What you need to do now is use dUP2 to find where is the location/offset that the crack patch.
1. Download dUP2 from the link at the end of this article, extract and run “dup2.exe”.
2. Click New Project button located at the right side of the dUP 2, and click Save button on Patch Info window.
3. Click Add button, select Offset Patch and click OK.
4. You will notice that [Offset Patch] will appear at the main (Patch Data) window.
Double click on [Offset Patch] and you’re now in Offset Patchdata window.
5. Load original file and patched file by clicking the “…†button at the Compare Files area and click Compare button. Remember, the original file is always the one with .bak or .old extension at the programs folder.
Now you’ll know where the RAW Offset being changed with what byte.
6. Open up the original file(raycalc.exe.bak) with a hex editor. You can use HxD or Cygnus Hex Editor which is free.
7. Press CTRL+G, enter the RAW Offset that you also see from dUP2. Select Hexadecimal and click OK. You’re now at the offset where the crack patches.
IF the programmer did not update then the registration security protection, the old version raycalc.exe.bak data to crack is the same as the updated raycalc2.3.exe. then Now, look for noticeable data around the data where the crack is suppose to patch. For me, I see “hkJGHRF*&(&$KLJSDFLKJ“. Do NOT find something like “.U..E….†because it’s confusing and tough to identify.
8. Use your mouse to select the data, right click and copy.
9. Open raycalc2.3.exe in hex editor, press CTRL+F to bring out the Find box and also paste the data by pressing CTRL+V. Try to find the data to patch by referring the old raycalc.exe.bak. I found mine which is the exact same data.
Go back to Hex Editor, change the data 74 14 to 90 90 for raycalc2.3.exe and save it.
Voila! It works! I’ve just cracked the latest also updated program based on the previous crack. With dUP2, I can also create my own patcher for the latest updated RayCalculator version 2.3 program.
