My first crackme :)

Please, no patching, self keygenning, etc, just make a keygen for it.

Good luck!

Cool solution qpt^J

I wouldn't have thought of just ripping code out of someone's keygen me (im kind of new to crackmes). :) I had the intention of people figuring out the algorithm and rewriting it, but your solution is valid to the rules i posted, so congratulations.

Would you mind telling me what the bug is you mentioned? ("If Serial's does'nt works - don't worry,restart keygenme - there is a small buffer bug in keygenme")

Thanks

Ultimate Pinecone,
thanx for nice Keygenme & your comment about my solution.
>>Would you mind telling me what the bug is you mentioned?
maybe I'm not right,but when I check serial for very big name(48 chars),then serial for very small name(3 chars),serial for small name has been invalid.
But when I restart the app,and check it again,it's been valid :)
The name's buffer isn't already cleaned and your entered name isn't that name which is on buffer.
That's why serial isn't works

Well, in reversing you really have several options. You can rip the code (if possible) or go the more fun route and understand it and interpret it. Ripping it is a good starting place, but eventually you'll get to where you want to understand the structure of the check scheme, functions, programming, etc. It's an art. Enjoy!

qpt^J,
Thanks, you're right. I'll remember this for future keygens (another one coming soon which should be as difficult as I hoped this one would be)

cobrasniper555: That "fun" route is what I want to force people to take to solve my keygens.


I also found another bug in it, I wont reveal any secrets here (check my website if you must know) but it should make it much more annoying to people trying to take the "fun" route :)
