Another simple crackme I’ve managed to solve. The crackme’s author didn’t rate it explicitly, but as it’s supposed to be for newbies, I think it’s safe to assume that it’s somewhere around 1/10. The task was again to create a keygen, not a modified executable.
Picture 1. Main window.I’ve finally managed to pull my act together and solve a crackme. It was a really simple one (its author rated it 1/10 on the difficulty scale), but I feel it was adequate to my skills. The purpose of this crackme was creating a general key generator, not modifying the executable to accept any key. I’m going to explain how I accomplished that. The only tool I’ve used was OllyDbg.
Warning: it will be all pretty basic stuff, so if you’re an experienced reverse engineer, you’ll be bored out of your mind.
