Warranties, Disclaimers, Liabilities, and Other Legal Stuff I'd Rather Not
Have To Deal With:
DarkLord is SHAREWARE: After 14 days, I would highly appreciate it if you
would register. Registration is 20 bucks, or less if you really can't afford
that. When you register, I make/send you a personalized copy with text that
you specify and your name if you want. (See Registering later in this
DOC)
WARRANTY/GUARANTEE/LIABILITY:
There is NONE. Let me make this clear. By using DarkLord, you agree
to take all responsibility for any/and all loss of data, system and or data
damage(s), hardware or software losses/damages, or any other damages or
losses, incidental, implied, real, or otherwise. I make no guarantees or
liabilities in anyway, now, or later in the program or its documentation.
Usage of this software and or reading beyond this statement expressly, directly
and indirectly states that you waive all right to any and all legal/civil/criminal
actions against the author of this software.
That done with, let's proceed...
FILES that SHOULD be in this ZIP file:
DARKLORD.EXE (main program)
DATA.TXT (sample password data file)
DARKLORD.DOC (this document)
REGISTER.FRM (registration form)
FILE_ID.DIZ (description of ZIP)
WHAT DARKLORD IS/DOES:
DarkLord is a SERIOUS security password program. It is CTRL-Break
AWARE, allows the user only ONE shot at the password, and then
locks the system. If a user tries to hit CTRL-Break, it locks the
computer.
DarkLord is NASTY to your intruders, making them feel highly
unwanted.
DarkLord now has AntiHacking procedures built in(see new features)
DarkLord WILL NOT hurt your computer in any way. However, see
disclaimer for info...this is NOT a guarantee.
DarkLord is EASY to set up.
Simplicity Docs-
The copy of DarkLord you have, is, at the moment, unregistered. It's $20 to
register, but if you haven't got that much, send what you can afford to, and
I will send you the registration anyway.
I know how it is.
When you register, you get CONFIGURABILITY. With your registration, fill
out the TEXT entries and PASSWORD length area of the REGISTER.FRM
and I make you a PERSONALIZED, Registered copy of DarkLord.
There are no delays, self-destructs, backdoors, or any other things that
could breech the program.
QUESTIONS about DarkLord? Call me Voice at: (304) 267 - 5543
Tech support will be given free.
Registering: Send $20 in form of cash, check, or money order, to:
Jack Kleiss
2203 Brenda Drive
Martinsburg, WV 25401
PLEASE save your time: Fill out the REGISTER.FRM for quick and easy
registration!
P.S. I could have, in one line of the program, inserted a twenty-second
delay, displayed a nasty register message, or made the program "self-destruct"
after x number of days. But I didn't. I trust you to register.
INSTALLING DarkLord.exe
COPY darklord.exe to the root drive (C:\)
CREATE a text file called "data.txt" in your C:\ directory
EDIT DATA.TXT. What you have to do now is edit the first line. Type in
what you want to be your password. As there is room in the program for a
15 character password, this can be a big word or short phrase. Spaces and
Upper/Lower case DO count!! Whatever your 15 character password(phrase) is,
add the number 0 onto the end, making it the sixteenth character.
YOUR ENTIRE LINE IN DATA.TXT *MUST* BE 16 CHARACTERS(including the zero you
tack on the end that is.)
Make sure to ONLY edit the first line and to start your password on the very
first space.
However, 2 words of warning:
A) You must *NOT* make the last characters, or the "null" character, spaces
or ALT-255's. In other words, the password "notdos 0" will NOT work!
"n o t d o s00000" will, but having space at the end won't.
B) Due to a NULL needed in the program, you should make the sixteenth
character a 0. Just tack a 0 on the end of your password, making that 0 the
sixteenth character. Besides, it's easy to remember.
Don't rename DATA.TXT. You can rename DARKLORD.exe if you want.
EXAMPLE:
There is an included, sample DATA.TXT in the ZIP file you got this from.
It is in the correct format.
If you copied all of these files right now to your C:\ directory, then ran
DARKLORD.EXE the correct password would be:
fifteentotest!! <ENTER>
Because DATA.TXT reads:
fifteentotest!!0
See how easy it is?
RUNNING DarkLord.exe (once you have configured/made your DATA.TXT file)
TYPE darklord.exe
HIT Enter.
FEATURES:
Changable passwords.
IF the password is wrong, the computer executes one message over and over.
If CTRL-Break is hit(CTRL-C is disabled), then a really awesome thing
happens. They see a message that tells them it is insulted that they hit
CTRL-Break, and then the screen clears, and they think they are out! They
see a C:\> prompt and think, "wow, I'm in", but then it just sits there
for 7 seconds, then displays a message to the effect of "Just screwing
with your head!" and the system locks down HARD. A reboot is necessary.
Changable text messages(when registered!)
Changable Password Length(when registered)
NOTES: This is my first release of a true shareware program. If enough
people register, I will be releasing more "specialty" programs. I wrote
this one because I had been looking for a good password program that is
SERIOUS about protection! Put it in your autoexec.bat, or (this MIGHT work)
in config.sys as INSTALL=C:\darklord.exe ....but I never tried that.
In your letter, please let me know what you think of DARKLORD! Suggestions
will be highly appreciated, and possibly incorporated into future versions.
D A R K L O R D was written entirely in Turbo C++ 3.0
by M U S A S H I, (Jack Kleiss), sysop of DarkLord Systems BBS.
DarkLord's New, Cool Features:
1) I have been releasing a new one of these every several hours it seems,
so I have decided that once you register, I will send you (free) an
updated copy of your personalized one.
2) AntiHacking - AntiViral routines
Way coolness, I thought. I have 2 different routines in there. One for
a 32 bit CRC check, the other for a 16 bit check. The sums are cross-
indexed and referenced against each other. Try editing just ONE
character inside of DarkLord.ExE! Warning: Running a modified copy of
DarkLord.ExE will "lock" your PC, requiring reboot. But I would do it
anyway, so you know I am not BS'ing you about this.
REVISION HISTORY:
VERSION 1.0 - First release of DarkLord. Had to use a separate program
I wrote in order to do the "do-4ever" and CTRL-BRK loops. Insecure due
to an obscure "out of memory" error(only occurred if the user screwed up
the DATA.TXT file, but I fixed it anyway)
VERSION 1.1 - (NR) Fixed all errors.
VERSION 1.2 - (NR) Fixed somewhat problematic code-logic
VERSION 1.3 - 2nd Release. Eliminated need for separate program to do the
loops...incorporated it into DArkLord's code.
VERSION 1.4 - This release (final?) cleans everything up, including DOC's
and just made everything prettier.
VERSION 1.5 - This release adds AntiHacking, AntiViral routines.
Cross-referenced, dual CRC (16 and 32 bit, separate routines) ensure
that your copy of DarkLord.ExE is virus and hack free. OK, sure it also
keeps you from editing out my shareware screen, but hey, CYA, right?
