I take no responsibility for what u do with this tutorial, and I dont really care =) Using this info may bring ya to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) If u like the program, please register, the author deserves that... URL: Hi reader!, in this tut I intend to teach u guys how to crack ShareMan 1.6.... I will assume that u already have: 1.SoftIce for win95 (If not , get it+Crack from www.acp.xforce.net). 2.Good knowledge in Assembler. 3.Strong ambition to CRACK! =) 4.Supporting family (Well, this and all next r just recommended...=)) 5.A chick.... Well, that's it for now....... lets go cracking..... 1.Launch your softice and then ur Shareman. 2.goto the registeration dialog box (/Help/Enter ID). 3.Well, ok, we`re ready for the mission... what to do now? Since this program is 16Bit we`ll set 16 Bit Api's... Set a breakpoint on the following API's : (with BPX [API]) 1.getdlgitemtext. 2.GetWindowtext. what next? write ur name/nick in the dialog box, and a dummy registeration number...... 4.Now , press OK button, BOOM! we popped up in Soft Ice window!!!! in the api GETWINDOWTEXT, after seeing this, we wanna delete the unused bp's... type this: bc 00 (the 1st bp we set...), and press F12 twice (!), to get to the code of Shareman... 5.Now, here comes the real cracking job... ;) ************************ Theory ************************** in this point, lets say u have a tool that loox for the [regcode] u entered in the memory? Could this possibly help us? Could it? Take ur time for thinkin... Well! STOP THINKING! =) That`ll help us to find the place where the generated Registration number is compared with the reg number u entered!!! and ofcourse, the CORRECT reg number..... ********************************************************** ok, the tool I mensioned in the theory section isnt exactly a tool, but a command in Soft Ice... Lets type:"S 0 l FFFFFFFF '[regcode]'" (L stands for length...). Now softice will give u the location of the regcode on memory... (Segment:Offset). now, lets do a Break Point on Memory location! type:"BPM Segment:Offset". press CTRL+D (to make the program continue). several times until u reach to the following instruction: PUSH AX REPZ CMPSB POP DS JZ 0C87 YES!!!!!!!! we found the place where the reg numbers r compared!!!! ;) all u have to do now is to type: D DI-4 and take the registration number out of there...(Make sure that I`m right, and the correct reg number isnt in SI! in case im wrong... u know what to do..=]) Well, now I wanna greet the following ppl: ========================================== [ACP],Niabi,JosephCo,Sice_Boy,Kipn,Leddy,Volcanic (yo man..=)) Atomic^F1 & Diffuse (Keep up the good job,guys), _rANDOM,|KAIRN|,Scorpion,razzi/a, All the dudes in #cracking in #Cracking4newbies And all the dudes that deserve that......
