aUTHOr -- Bjanes pROGRAm -- VB6 Crackme vERSIOn -- 2.0a dATe -- 23/09/1999 pLACe -- Somewhere on my comp :) pROTECTIOn - Serial only rULEs -- There is only one rule -> You must find correct serial Greetings to all crackers out there, Hope you all sucessfuly crack previous version of crackme witch was, with right tools, very simple to crack. So here is new version of the proggie! I think it's a bit harder to crack then previous verison! Serial is not hardcoded and you can't find it just looking with hex editor. You also can't fish it with Sice. Program has simple calculation routine based on XOR function to generate correct Serial. I wrote it for NEWBIES to advance their R. C. E. skills on cracking Visual Basic programs. Every version will have one crackme marked "a", and another one marked with "b". Crackmes marked with "a" has serial-only protection and crackmes marked with "b" has name/serial protection! Also every next version will be more difficult to crack. [Maybe there will be crackmes marked with "c"(misc. protection)] Sorry, but I can't give you any hints, because I'm not experienced with cracking VB programs, actually I hate them :) If you somehow lose the exe file, have only this text file and don't know where to download the executable, go to the Eternal Bliss' homepage and you'll probably find it. The link is http://crackmes.cjb.net/ If you're so stupid that you can't crack this program don't mail me! :) Mail me only if you sucessfuly crack it, and tell me how. My Email is -- BornaJanes@hotmail.com Hope you'll learn something new from it, Good luck and Enjoy! Borna My gratitude goes to: Eternal Bliss, The Sandman, Jeff, Iczelion, _ytc.
