What
Is Software Cracking
Welcome to
the cracking tutorial section of my site first a few words about
software cracking and a small message why software cracking is
not bad thing and why it is bad to criticize a cracker.
What
is cracking?
Cracking is
an art of removing software copyright protection from a program
normally a shareware. Most of us must have observed that when
we buy a computer magazine normally a CD full of software comes
with it but they have restriction like u can only use it for 15
days or 30 days or more according to company either after that
software refuses to work or legally u are not authorized to use
it and u have to buy it from the respective vendor or some times
it boots up with annoying pop up window or they give sucking adds
or it will show TRIAL mark on everything that u do with the software.
Now to your rescue comes a cracker who cracks the software for
u. What he does is to remove any such protection mentioned above
or any other from that software so that u can evaluate it for
as long as u wish and when u are totally satisfied u then buy
it, cracking removes all restriction from that program.
What
is a Crack?
Crack is a
piece of software or small program made in any programming langauge
depending upon Cracker choice which removes restriction from the
software u want and helps u in using your favorite program for
as long as u want without any forced banner, adds or just any
kind of restriction. There are basically three kinds of Crack
that we mainly use which are as follows:
* Serial Number
*Patch
*Key Generator
What
type of protection do the software have?
Usually when
u get a software it allows u a trial of 15 or 30 days depending
upon company and either u are free to use all features or some
features are blocked which are available on full version and after
the evaluation period u are not authorized to use u have to but
it from the vendor or others authorized source. Now how can u
remove them? Of course u have to Crack them basically u can use
that software after the evaluation period by either entering the
registration code or serial number or u can run a patch (an exe
or other file) in the folder in which the software is installed
normally the folder is in place something similar to this
C:\Program
Files\Your software. Or there is something like a key generator
that generates the required registration code for u. Some software
have different kind if protection like if u want to register that
program (i.e. want to use it without restriction and others) it
demands a serial number or registration code which normally u
can get when u pay the price of software to the company and they
send it to u, according to the data u would have entered onto
their site when u would have purchased the software. That means
registration code for a particular name could not be used for
the other so Cracker came up with something called a key generator
that will generate key according to your information like name
or others just as the company would have done it. So u get to
use your software without actually paying for it.
Why
Cracking is not a Bad Practices?
Because cracking
is done for gaining knowledge and information by a cracker and
to test the weakness in the security of a program and to help
people buy things worth their money, software are heavily price
starting from 30$ to 30000$ or even more and the company expects
u too see and use it only 15 days or so which is not enough and
there are time when u end up in bad deal; to help u a cracker
cracks it with the intention that u get things worth your money
; a cracker never wants that u use his crack for something immoral
if u like a program or software buy it , because what we all don't
know that a hell of a hard work is put into making a software
and by not paying royalty to the programmer for his software by
in turn paying to the company u are doing a wrong thing and doing
injustice to the programmer and something that is illegal. If
u like software do buy it, programmer deserves something in return
of his hard work. Cause if everyone starts using a crack no one
will buy the software and company will have no money to pay the
programmer and no new programs will be made think on it !!!
I have downloaded
a crack but I don't know how to use it has to more files with
extension .nfo and .diz ??
Actually it
is the file with extension .nfo which has the complete information
about how to use it normally it either has the serial number and
other information.
I
cannot open the file with the extension .nfo and cannot decide
which software to use for it. ?
Well u have
to use programs called "nfo viewer" they are easily
available on hacking site Or if u don't find it anywhere come
back to me mail me.
I want to learn how to Crack software myself how can I
do it??
Cracking is
a very tedious job u have to have good coding or programming skills
and have to be master of ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE if u haven't heard
of it try searching for it's tutorials on the intelligence section
of my site else mail me I shall send them to u, assembly language
is a difficult language to learn it almost sucks!!! And then u
will need tools like hex editor and debuggers.
Well
many of u readers already know about this and much more than given
in the text, this is just for those who don’t know it.
All question comments, queries, suggestions, improvements, addition,
death threats and hate/love mails are welcomed.
