Lock-Master... Your software investment protector.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Introduction:
─────────────
Have you ever written a program, then found out the next day that your program
had been cracked/hacked and uploaded to all the bbs's across North America?
Have you ever invested lots of time and money developing a program which you
released as shareware with a registration option, and found out that someone
made a generic "key" registration program to crack-register your current and
future version of that software?
Ever invest in purchasing a copy-protection product like a key-disk or a dongle
plug protection to protect your software from being copied by everyone, and
then the next day, discovering a cracked copy of your program on a bbs - even
though it was "protected"?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is what you need. A
revolutionary new product, the only one in the world right now, a program
that will totally change software security procedures now, and in years to come.
It's called....
≡ L O C K - M A S T E R 9.0 ≡
Lock-Master v9.0 is a program that protects any program for the IBM or
compatible PC from being traced/disassembled or viewed. It's uses are
numerous, but it's main purpose is to protect your program from being
hacked/cracked or modified.
Lock-Master 9.0 can be integrated into any IBM or compatible executable
file (COM or EXE). Once integrated, the master program is locked. All
known debuggers will be shut down. If someone tries to trace the protected
master program, his computer will freeze and reboot. Tracing, disassembling,
or producing a source code listing is... let's just say nearly impossible.
Lock-Master 9.0 cannot be reverse-engineered, mostly because it's code
unencrypts the new data OVER the used up code while running. It
cannot be modified in any way, due to it's 8 layered reverse-encryption
and multiple CRC code checking routines. Also, all of Lock-Master's
anti-debugging routines calculate a complicated checksum, which they use
to reverse-unencrypt other modular routines, which inturn use the previous
checksum to complete their functions! Overall it's a nightmare to trace,
even to the most experienced cracker.
There are about 3 other products that say they "protect" your exe/com files
from hackers - but as you know, there are unprotect programs written for them
already out there. These programmers might write nice exe/com encryption and
compression routines, but they don't provide any anti-debugger/hacker
protections. And those that do, are always easily bypassed by the average
14 year old.
You see, a software protection is only as good as it's "envelope". You can
utilize the best hardware/software protection for your software, but if it
doesn't have a good "envelope lock", it's like protecting a 10 foot steel
bank safe with a barbie doll lock!
I have spent about 4 years on and off, optimizing and inventing
some of the best anti-debugger routines that you will ever find for the IBM PC.
As you know, everything can be cracked with time. Someday, some wizard out
there will figure a way to trace through Lock-Master's protection. After
spending a LOT of months, he might find a bypass method. But all you need to
do is request a Lock-Master routine modification upgrade, and you will put him
back to square one! - He will have to forget everything he did and restart
from scratch, because all the routines would be different.
Places where you might want to utilize Lock-Master 9.0 :
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Releasing a shareware program with a registration option.
* Releasing a commercial copy-protected program. (Either with a key-disk
or a security/dongle plug protection)
* Releasing any program that you don't want hacked, cracked or modified
in any way.
About the demo:
───────────────
This Lock-Master 9.0 demo was coded so that you would be able to experiment
and evaluate just how powerful Lock-Master 9.0 really is. The file included
with this zip called LM9-DEMO.COM is protected with Lock-Master 9.0. Try to
view, edit, trace, or modify that file - you will then understand the power
of Lock-Master 9.0. You can use ANY debugger for the IBM PC. It doesn't
matter which one you use, they will all be TERMINATED the hard way. (Be
prepared to reboot your machine VERY often!)
To start the demo, simply run LM9-DEMO.COM. Make sure you don't have any
debuggers resident in memory, otherwise the demo won't run. You will then
see a screen describing Lock-Master. You cannot quit the demo back to the
dos prompt. To quit, you have to reboot your machine. This was done so that
everytime you trace, and mess up, you will have to hard boot - this should
give you lots of "fun"!
This demo is just a demo - it cannot be cracked/hacked and used as a software
protection program. All the routines for protecting your exe/com files have
been removed from this demo, and are only available in the registered version.

│ Lock-Master 9.0 Registration │
└───────────────────────────────┘
When you register Lock-Master 9.0, you'll receive a disk with the latest
version of Lock-Master, the usage manual, and upgrade information. With
that disk, you'll be able to protect your com or exe files with Lock-Master.
There is no limit or "protect-count" on the number of files that you can
protect with Lock-Master.
Once you register, your name, phone and other information is serialized
into the Lock-Master protect program. It's not just encrypted and written
in the file, it's transformed into machine-language instructions, which are
then used by the Lock-Master protect program to do some protection calculations
etc! Your whole system info is also recorded and kept track of. Your
protected exe/com files will not contain your personal information, just the
Registered Lock-Master protection program will.
We are all sick of those hackers/crackers who steal our software investments,
it's time to do something about it. This program was not written to make
money, it was written to help the hard working computer programmers like
yourselves. The registration costs are very low, for the amount of time that
it took to develop Lock-Master 9.0 - This is the first public release, and
we are at version 9.0 already! - that's because all previous versions were
beta versions, or were upgraded and enhanced with more options.
