So welcome guys to this School of Cracking and many thanks to bidibadboi for his Idea and Efforts.

Here is three of my own rules :

1- The best thing to do is to practice

2- The aim should be to learn and not to succeed in cracking.

The success is the final gift (it comes like that, without warning). One time during tracing the routines

you will say in your mind " He he I understand, here is what I am looking for" and with few bytes

you will kill the protection and make the trial a Freeware.

3- Collect and upgrade the tools ( mastering them by practice):

A hex editor : Ultraedit (the best) you will find the link in this Forum

A soft to compare binary files: UltraCompare Professional

A graphic debugger : IDA Pro (is the best for me) sometimes we can solve the problem without executing the soft.(cold cracking)

A virtual Machine : Sun VirtualBox (Free)

Microsoft Visual studio 2008 with all the SDK's and pdb's

+........

ORIGINAL POST BY CODYQX4 ON page 2:

All right, I got a little something, this is how to crack any Office 2007 suite or app. This is how they do the all zeroes phone activation.

No OGA crack is necessary and you can use a blacklisted serial.

You need a Hex Editor. I use Hex Workshop.

This works on any version of Office 2007 SP0 - SP2 and all updates between and after.

Go To C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office 12

Look for a file called MSO.DLL. This is your target.

Look for this string in hex: 75 48 39 45 08 8B

Change it to: 74 48 39 45 08 8B

Thats it. Now all zeroes in phone activation will activate anything.

If office ever says that it is not installed for the current user, repatch this file to fix it.

ORIGINAL TUT ON PAGE 1:

www.popcap.com

so either file your requests that you want cracking from that site,or i can help you guys crack these games!you wont believe how easy it is!haha

hey

plants vs zombies for me if u can

[tonyblair]

A brilliant place to start is:

www.tuts4you.com

on that site you can learn about patching,serialfishing,loaders,unpackers,keygenning and much much more!for begginners id start of "lena151's" series of tuts and then move on to more difficult projects from there:D

@tony, what do you mean by reserved?haha.e need to get this show rocking so soon ill start providing links to good tuts ive used in the past:)

Hi again,

Reserved means : I can edit that post later.

The first page in a Topic is very important later if somebody wants a link or whatever, he can find it easily in the first page ( not somewhere in the hundreds of posts).

Patching, cracking is a pure fun and improvement of knowledge (about software, hardware ....). The fun is 10x if the people share their experience.

That is what you are doing. So Bravo  :clap:

Hi bidibadboi,

I think, that you should ask the approval of Box about the title of your topic  "CRACK Heads III" as he is the Top starter of "CRACK Heads I"

and "CRACK Heads II" and he is the Author of these titles. I am sure he has his saying about that. Because he changes from I to II when

the I was filled with huge number of posts. And if he intends to move to III for the same reason, he will have a problem.

Please there is no offense in my remarks here.

Ciao 

[shought]

@tony

You know what's funny, just before I saw your post I realized the exact same thing :P (Your remarks were in no way offending :))

I'll try thinking of something...

@bidi

I renamed your thread to 'School of Cracking', which was formerly in your subtitle, I hope you don't mind and if you do you're welcome to change it into anything else(even CRACK Heads III), but I just thought this was the most practical solution to this matter ;)

hehe, formerly the subtitle I put last night ;). It's better this way I think, when it was called Crack Heads III I was thinking that anyone seeing the topic still won't know what it was about so I decided to add the subtitle.

Great ideas are always shared by great men. (Thanks for Box)
