| Scortile 04. Jul 2005 | haha, this one sounds pretty unique to me.. I think I'll give it a try some time, but not yet, I'm sure I need more time for this one than I can spare at the moment.. |

| Oorja-HalT 06. Jul 2005 | What exactly is the task. is it 1.To change the crackme information that is displayed when the crackmeOS is selected . 2.Beside is it ok to patch the file 3. you have to create the new file if no1 is yes and no2 is yes and no3 is no i can submit my solution |
| bilbo 06. Jul 2005 | Well, since he doesn't indicate any constrains, I thought we can do what we like better and I submitted mine... Anyway, I am pretty confident that it is impossible to patch directly floppy.img, do you agree? |
| Otton 06. Jul 2005 | Hi. I'm new here and I liked an idea of crack OS. Unfortunately I have impression that I misunderstood the rules or monkey must be joking ;-) Anyway, I uploaded my solution, too. We'll maybe see what will happen ;-) [bilbo] I think so, too. Mainly because direct patching of kernel seems not possible. |
| Oorja-HalT 06. Jul 2005 | hey guys you sre makes me lazy.Now i dont have to write a solution.And yes you cant change floppy image directly. It has to be copied in to a floppy and changed using hexeditor. BTW do you agree that it deserves a this high rating. |
| monkey Author 06. Jul 2005 | Yeah. It took long enough for you to get it. Within the time it took to get the first solutions, I have made some real crack-worthy stuff. Now that I have my own API's and basically a DOS clone that runs it's own executables from a ext2 floppy, so it isn't gonna be so easy next time. |
| bilbo 07. Jul 2005 | [b]monkey[/b], your idea deserves appreciation... I hope anyway next time you will add at least a checksum control, to force us to do some disassembly ;-) [b]Otton, Oorja-HalT[/b], I was saying it is impossible to directly patch FLOPPY.IMG simply because the stuff to patch is gzipped! |
| Otton 07. Jul 2005 | Hi again. [bilbo] I meant that, too (kernel==gzip). [Oorja-HalT] It couldn't be so hard if I could solve it ;-) [monkey] Really nice idea. I think that coding and testing it wasn't just piece of cake. It could be fine base for something harder. First integrity checks could be made in modified stage2 code (I suspected that to be honest). Ok. Should we start to search (code) debugger for v. 2.0 of your OS ? Regards. |
| monkey Author 07. Jul 2005 | Next version is going to test your skills. Now I can run a checksum against itself, and the kernel will load objects which are in my own special format. I suggest you read a lot of cryto stuff because as your probably know, I love crypto :) |
