| warrantyVoider Author 24. Jul 2005 | Sorry everybody! Contrary to the readme the program does NOT run on windows2000, only XP. As compensation and to make it a bit easier I will give you a valid serial to test whether it runs correctly on your computer: Name: "crackmes.de" Serial: "=>1803606519" technobabble: I tested it on 3 computers, but all were running XP ;-( Sorry. Apparently SEH-Handlers have to preserve ESI & EDI, and I failed to put in a rule to that effect. XP seems to forgive, W2k does not. |

| andrewl.us Moderator 03. Sep 2010 | congrats to alex_ls for an impressive solution to a long-standing crackme |
| jE! 26. Sep 2010 | probably i not examined this crackme also bcoz of MFC71 requirements.. |
| jE! 26. Sep 2010 | alex_ls, where is DEPROTECTED crackme? |
| alex_ls 27. Sep 2010 | jE!, In my solution I just described the way how to decrypt the protected functions with a trivial tracer. Removing the protector of crackme will take too much time(analyzing decrypted code,making a dump or connections - all of this is a manual process). Sorry, I couldn't code the generic unpacker! If someone can do it,please,upload the solution. |
| jE! 28. Sep 2010 | drop it. just asked, bcoz 2-stage was about it. |
