Have you ever wanted to learn how a program


protects itself from being copied? With the right
tools, you can examine the inner workings of a
program and look at how the copy protection
works. Using assembly language, you can even
change these programs so that they never have
to be registered or purchased. Doing so
requires you to crack the software by modifying
DLL files.

Steps
1 Learn Assembly programming. In order to crack most software, you will need to have a good grasp
on assembly, which is a low-level programming language. Assembly is derived from machine
language, and each assembly language is specific to the type of computer you are using. Most assembly
language is expressed through binary and hexadecimal.
2 Gather your tools. In order to examine and modify DLLs, you will need several different tools.
W32DASM is a software disassembler that allows you to pick apart programs. SoftIce is a Windows
debugging tool. You'll also want a good coding text editor, such as UltraEdit or Notepad++.

3 Start the program you want to crack with W32DASM. This will show you what DLL files are being
loaded by the program. Use W32DASM to examine which functions are being called from the DLL.
4 Find the counter function. Many programs use a timer for copy protection, and when the timer runs
out, the user is no longer able to access the program. The goal is to find this counter code, and then
bypass it.

If the program you are cracking uses a different form of protection, you will need to look for that
instead.
5 Set a break-point on the counter. Once you've isolated the counter function, set SoftIce to break
when it is encountered. This will allow you to look at the exact code that is occurring when the
counter function is called.

6 Change the counter code. Now that you've found the code for the counter function, you can change
the code so that the counter never reaches the point where it shuts you out of the program. For
example, you could make it so that the counter cannot count up to the break limit or you can bypass the
counter by jumping over it.

Question
Can I bypass the activation key on Trend Control's System Engineering Tool 7.02?

Community Answer
Theoretically, any activation can be bypassed. If you know assembly, I suggest you search for an input
value being compared against a complex algorithm and bypass that block of code.

Question
How can I learn assembly programming?

Community Answer
Tutorialspoint has assembly programming in it. It has a link to Coding Ground which has an assembly
IDE on it so you can practice assembly without installing software on your computer. It's a great site,
but you can utilize the internet too! Look up tutorials to help you learn. There are also some great tips in
How to Start Programming in Assembly.

Question
How does hacking differ from cracking software?

Community Answer
Hacking is an encompassing term which includes many activities, which can include cracking
software, but is generally applied to attempting to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or a
user's data.
