Software Cracking

[odsamuels]

Getting into this discussion a little late, but yes Ropy is speaking truth. It is possible to create cracks or keygens for programs. The algorithms can be had by deciphering Hex codes using Hex Editors (the last one I used was Hex Edit 32). It is also possible to use decompilers, or even more effectively disassemblers... but don't think for an instant that you'll be able to just run these programs and see code like:

{
//Here lies code for generating serial
serial=date+2*3;
checkSerial();
}

Nope, sorry... like I said... you're gonna have to do some deciphering, because a lot of the decompiled code links to DLLs, OCXs and such.

Glad to be able to contribute to this "Educational" discussion. ;D

just for the purpose of education
has any one done any " real" online hacking

and what software was use

[odsamuels]

There is a considerable difference between Software cracking and "online" hacking. I'd have to say that I've done some... twasn't done with any special software tho... with online hacking it is more the know-how to apply information gained from common everyday simple network tools.

with online hacking it is more the know-how to apply information gained from common everyday simple network tools.

True...simple commands that can even be executed at the command prompt.

For example..
uh

Somehow I feel like I am helping to create Hacke... , uuhhh SOFTWARE ENGINEERS.

Just look up your command prompt commands and practice. (and please... practice on you own stuff first... make sure you KNOW HOW to "network" acurately, then do you may practice on other things)

This thread was very educational..... lol.: .

[jazzwadd]

and also very unethical...if i might add

Go and learn a programing language....
