I don't know if this is a bug of something, but the program crashes when I close it ( it doesn't terminate after the "animation" ).

patching is allowed to enable the button and to remove the tricks/animations but no good-boy-jump and selfkeygen

For mucki:

I don't understand if it is a bug/ program is unclosable. It must be terminate with bruteforce.

Hm...
I have problems with this one. I killed the two procedures for protection, I enabled the button and went to password generating procedure.
Now in the first part the app gets the sum of Asc number for each char in the name, than from the sum it takes out the sum of Asc numbers of the name of the local PC. Now goes the part that I dont understand, but I'm, still working on it. In the mean while I run the target in SmartCheck and there is notice that our entered serial is compared with some serial. When I enter the serial that popuped in SC - BADBOY message.
Hm ?
Is someone working on this one ? Need some help.

Best Regards

hi Ank83,
you are very close to solve it, only two simple operations are missing. then there are a few lines of confusing crap code - sorry for that, maybe i submit an improved one soon also with bugfix. (next one will be better again / not in vb)
thx that you are still trying

binbinbin I think that this target has no valid serial.

you need a plugin against isdebuggerpresent detection

Very easy... I fished serial for my name/computer name ;)

btw, i don't know why exists a md5 implementation in the crackme and you don't use it?

md5 hash will be calculated if you fall into isdebuggerpresent-trap
