Well this is probably the hardest project yet without much question---I'm pretty much stuck, but here is what I've found so far: First of all, that counter thing that says 'Validating. This may take a while' is going to make our job harder...Why? Because we don't know how far to go with SoftICE, or if SoftICE can even follow the movement of the counter...Deadlisting came to mind, but then I recalled that this was a VB program, making that not an option...And since its just a serial your entering, it's therefore hardcoded (probably) Anyways I set a breakpoint on HMEMCPY, pressed OK, soft ice broke, i F12ed about 16 times or somewhere around that area, through kernel and user and MSVBM50, and finally found the VB5CRACKEM!CODE place...My hope was to find something that stuck out here...No such luck...I guess it won't always shine with flashing neon lights...I had a look around by tracing further, and I ended up back in KERNEL eventually, don't ask me how, no API's were called or anything...I found a few Compares between the good message and the bad message, I don't know what this means though---Perhaps there will be some manipulations on the message later on or something...Basically that's all I've found...And here I am, completely stumped. :) Craftie Craftie |
