KeyGenMe 1 by Taliesin

Window32 - Tested on XP and Win98.
Assembler - MASM32.


To complete:

1. Bypass debugger checks.
2. Write a keygenerator.
3. Submit keygen and tutorial.

Completion should be relatively easy. Only a few debugger checks. Algorithm for serial is not too complex.

Maybe it bug?
when you check first letter you do next:

00401423 . 80EE 41 SUB DH,41 <<-- not need!!!
00401426 . 8AF2 MOV DH,DL <<<<

and when you check 3rd and other letters you do:

0040145F . 80EE 41 SUB DH,41
00401462 . 8AD6 MOV DL,DH <<<<

it isn't important for solution, but... ;)

indomit, the minus 41 is used for the table...table is only 24 characters.
Originally, when I wrote it, I had self-modifying code in it - Olly instead of skipping breaks, just told me I had overwritten it's Int3 instruction. That gave me the idea.
The first call after GetDlgItemTextA does do something, it checks part of the serial format, among other things.

Good job indomit & l0calh0st, nice tutorials. And thanks to everyone that tried this one. I see I'll have to increase the challenge so my next one isn't solved in 3 days. ;)
