Crappy Fun - by HMX0101

The name says it all :)... just a piece of crap to entertain you!
this crackme isn't intended for totally newbies, you must have
at least some knowledge ;)

There exists two tasks to do:

- Make a valid unpacked (it will not run until you find
why it don't! :))
- Find the correct serial (easy, huh?)

The rules as always:

- Don't patch
- Write a tut

The patching only applies to the serial, right ?

Ps: got a working unpacked file. Some nice little tricks there.
I hate IAT destroying/repairing =).

@DigitalAcid: yep only applies to the serial :)
Good job on unpacking ;P.. the harder is getting the serial, you'll probably get confused and leave it ;)

If you need any hints, just ask me... :D

The crackme doesn't run on my machine, is it normal?
I have XP SP3.

@Ox87k: It doesn't run untill it is unpacked.

I found 2 serials that bypass the first check (there are 6), but I only found them by trial and error.
I'm still trying to figure out how a valid serial can be created =).

@Crosys: thanx mate.. :) long time without see you :D
I forget to include in the readme... don't bruteforce it ;) there's a way to solve it without brute... :)

I solved it in the "proper" way but seems that bruteforce would be the easiest way. :)

If no one writes tutorial this week, maybe I'll do that - this crackme deserves it. :D Thanks for really nice crackme!

Very nice solution, zairon.
Nopping the jmp to get a working unpacked file is exactly what I did.
It would have been too much work to fix it manually, so I searched a faster, easier way :).
