The Zone, as the area got to be known, was characterized by anomalous energy disturbances, rendering even the most advanced form of protective suits worthless to would be rescue teams. Months passed and nothing could be done. The military quarantined the area to prevent unauthorized entry and perhaps even reassure the local populace that the area was under control and confinement. Almost 4 years after the initial event, expeditions can now safely traverse several kilometers deep into the Zone. Among these are the Stalkers, poachers that enter the zone searching for artifacts and anomalous formations that are highly sought after by certain organizations and groups. The player controls a Stalker, venturing into the Zone in order to acquire information, technology and artifacts to sell and possibly put a mysterious puzzle together. Avoiding the dangers within and the military because as a Stalker you are effectively a thief, and the army that has quarantined the area, don't take kindly to trespassers. Within the Zone you will have to detect and avoid the bizarre phenomenon's (anomalies) that plague the area, avoid or eliminate various kinds of mutants and you can even expect competition from other Stalkers. PROPER NOTES: Well, well... STALKER got released as clone from Unleashed (who have had their own share of problems lately) and only a few hours later ViTALiTY managed to release the ISO. Impressive, almost too good to be true... and guess what... it was... First of all we want to stress that we don't like to proper because the whole NFO-wars is really not helping the scene. We have tolerated much from ViTALiTY... First they did some SecuROM cracks where all the essential hard-to-rebuild code was not reconstructed but rather just stolen from an executable with a weaker protection (Battlestations.Midway-ViTALiTY) and later we witness a giant 8 MB executable that was UPXed and PE-Sections renamed to hide this embarrassing fact. We really had to restrain ourselves to witness them label this as a "fully rebuilt crack" (Supreme.Commander.Update.1.0.3217-ViTALiTY). We reacted to none of these insults in public. But this time ViTALiTY has gone too far. We all know that STALKER is a major title and it came as a surprise to us how weak a flavor of SecuROM is on it. In fact there is only 1 spot where SecuROM have molested the original code, otherwise its a simple matter of dumping + fixing entry point (which is a task any baboon can manage). We like to keep an eye on the competition so we examined this crack from ViTALiTY, and we were shocked at the low-quality of cracking ViTALiTY is now ready to release. Lets have a look shall we? The single SecuROM modification that i speak of is located here: 004acb80 (03) 81ec 40030000 SUB ESP, 0x340 004acb86 (05) e9 32639000 JMP 0xdb2ebd As some of you may know this "SUB ESP, 0x340" is a typical routine header instruction and following it is a jump redirecting to the "artem" section (one added by SecuROM). This is what we call a partially relocated routine where SecuROM relocates part of a routine so that if the SecuROM modules are removed the code will fail. The relocated code in the SecuROM section is this: 00db2ebd (05) 68 bbcb4a00 PUSH 0x4acbbb 00db2ec2 (05) e8 598ba4ff CALL 0x7fba20 00db2ec7 (01) 90 NOP 00db2ec8 (01) 50 PUSH EAX 00db2ec9 (01) 9c PUSHF

909b6fff JMP 0x4acc69 This is the code as it looks after SecuROM has molested it. This was once a real routine in the virgin executable and clearly plays some sort of role as a part of the game code. Partially relocated routines is a common SecuROM feature and you will see it have been fixed in several previous hatred releases. We were impressed that ViTALiTY was able to crack an executable with this feature so we decided to take a closer look. OH MY GOD! 004ACB80 B8 00000000 MOV EAX,0 004ACB85 C3 RETN What a sophisticated fix. Seems ViTALiTY have decided that this routine is not important and since they were unable to rebuild the original code they simply inserted a "MOV EAX,0; RETN" which means that the entire routine is now disabled. It is not for us to judge whether this routine is an essential part of the game code. If the ViTALiTY crack appears to run flawlessly then it probably isn't but the fact remains that this code was in the original executable and therefore it should also be in the cracked executable. This is an undeniable fact and any unbiased cracker you ask will agree. I mean come on ViTALiTY... This game had only one single SecuROM modification and you couldn't even manage to fix that, and even if you want to replace an entire routine with one that returns 0 you could have at least saved a few bytes by doing "XOR EAX,EAX; RETN". ;) What ViTALiTY should have done (but cant) was to rebuild the routine so that the original code was restored like this: 004acb80 (03) 81ec 40030000 SUB ESP, 0x340 004acb86 (05) e9 75f40c00 JMP 0x57c000 0057c000 (06) 8b0d 7c744c00 MOV ECX, [0x4c747c] 0057c006 (02) 6a 40 PUSH 0x40 0057c008 (02) 6a 00 PUSH 0x0 0057c00a (04) 8d4424 08 LEA EAX, [ESP+0x8] 0057c00e (01) 50 PUSH EAX 0057c00f (03) ff51 0c CALL [ECX+0xc] 0057c012 (03) 8d1424 LEA EDX, [ESP] 0057c015 (01) 52 PUSH EDX 0057c016 (08) c74424 04 40000000 MOV DWORD [ESP+0x4], 0x40 0057c01e (06) ff15 8c704c00 CALL [0x4c708c] 0057c024 (02) 85c0 TEST EAX, EAX 0057c026 (02) 74 2f JZ 0x57c057 0057c028 (04) 8b4424 08 MOV EAX, [ESP+0x8] 0057c02c (04) 8b4c24 0c MOV ECX, [ESP+0xc] 0057c030 (04) 0facc8 14 SHRD EAX, ECX, 0x14 0057c034 (03) c1e9 14 SHR ECX, 0x14 0057c037 (05) 3d f4010000 CMP EAX, 0x1f4 0057c03c (02) 76 22 JBE 0x57c060 0057c03e (04) 8b5424 18 MOV EDX, [ESP+0x18] 0057c042 (04) 8b4c24 1c MOV ECX, [ESP+0x1c] 0057c046 (04) 0facca 14 SHRD EDX, ECX, 0x14 0057c04a (02) 03d0 ADD EDX, EAX 0057c04c (03) c1e9 14 SHR ECX, 0x14 0057c04f (06) 81fa c4090000 CMP EDX, 0x9c4 0057c055 (02) 76 09 JBE 0x57c060 0057c057 (02) 33c0 XOR EAX, EAX 0057c059 (06) 81c4 40030000 ADD ESP, 0x340 0057c05f (01) c3 RET 0057c060 (01) 56 PUSH ESI 0057c061 (01) 57 PUSH EDI 0057c062 (02) 6a 00 PUSH 0x0 0057c064 (06) ff15 90704c00 CALL [0x4c7090] 0057c06a (06) 8b3d 50724c00 MOV EDI, [0x4c7250] 0057c070 (05) 68 00010000 PUSH 0x100 0057c075 (04) 8d5424 4c LEA EDX, [ESP+0x4c] 0057c079 (01) 52 PUSH EDX 0057c07a (02) 8bf0 MOV ESI, EAX 0057c07c (05) 68 17080000 PUSH 0x817 0057c081 (01) 56 PUSH ESI 0057c082 (02) ffd7 CALL EDI 0057c084 (02) 85c0 TEST EAX, EAX 0057c086 (02) 74 19 JZ 0x57c0a1 0057c088 (05) 68 00020000 PUSH 0x200 0057c08d (07) 8d8424 4c010000 LEA EAX, [ESP+0x14c] 0057c094 (01) 50 PUSH EAX 0057c095 (05) 68 18080000 PUSH 0x818 0057c09a (01) 56 PUSH ESI 0057c09b (02) ffd7 CALL EDI 0057c09d (02) 85c0 TEST EAX, EAX 0057c09f (02) 75 0b JNZ 0x57c0ac 0057c0a1 (01) 5f POP EDI 0057c0a2 (02) 33c0 XOR EAX, EAX 0057c0a4 (01) 5e POP ESI 0057c0a5 (06) 81c4 40030000 ADD ESP, 0x340 0057c0ab (01) c3 RET 0057c0ac (02) 6a 10 PUSH 0x10 0057c0ae (04) 8d4c24 4c LEA ECX, [ESP+0x4c] 0057c0b2 (01) 51 PUSH ECX 0057c0b3 (07) 8d9424 50010000 LEA EDX, [ESP+0x150] 0057c0ba (01) 52 PUSH EDX 0057c0bb (02) 6a 00 PUSH 0x0 0057c0bd (06) ff15 b0724c00 CALL [0x4c72b0] 0057c0c3 (05) e9 a10bf3ff JMP 0x4acc69 This is what a rebuilt routine looks like ViTALiTY, take a close look as you might learn something. Like we stated earlier we don't like to proper unless there is a good reason, but ViTALiTY has really been pushing trying to see what sorts of crap they could get away with and it seems ViTALiTY themselves have not been hesitating to proper RELOADED for screw-ups much smaller than this. Well we hope you have all learned something and STALKER is really too big a title to let the world only have the improper crack. The last thing we want is to escalate a silly NFO-war in the scene but ViTALiTY is really insulting all hardworking crackers in the scene by releasing such crap as if it was proper work. I promise you anyone who knows even a tiny bit about cracking will understand that this is a completely amateurish and unacceptable cracking-technique to simply disable a routine instead of rebuilding it. If their executable runs reliably it is PURE LUCK! So please ViTALiTY take a little time to research, develop your techniques and then start releasing again. Long story short: ViTALiTY doesn't know how to fix partially relocated routines therefore they choose to completely disable that routine since they didn't know how to fix it. This routine was present in the original executable and therefore it should also be in the crack. This is a bad crack, and we bring you the proper one.
