-
-
-
- 2)The cracking of the death
-
-
- Run the Crackme and click on the exit button. A fucking messagebox appears, and explains
- you your goal again. But, after clicking on the Ok button of the messagebox, the process doesn't
- exit. So let's dasm it.
- Go in the String Data References and click on the text of the messagebox "Your job is to
- make me work as", to locate quickly the problem. You'll arrive at :
-
- * Reference To: KERNEL32.ExitProcess, Ord:0075h
- |
- :00401024 E843000000 Call 0040106C ;Calls ExitProcess when clicking on the Windows Exit Cross
- :00401029 55 push ebp
- :0040102A 8BEC mov ebp, esp
- :0040102C 817D0C11010000 cmp dword ptr [ebp+0C], 00000111
- :00401033 751F jne 00401054
- :00401035 8B4510 mov eax, dword ptr [ebp+10]
- :00401038 6683F864 cmp ax, 0064
- :0040103C 752A jne 00401068
- :0040103E 6A00 push 00000000
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"GOAL:"
- |
- :00401040 682F304000 push 0040302F ;Text of the MessageBox
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"Your job is to make me work as "
- ->"an exit button!"
- |
- :00401045 6800304000 push 00403000 ;Caption of the MessageBox
- :0040104A FF7508 push [ebp+08] ;Handle of the MessageBox
-
- * Reference To: USER32.MessageBoxA, Ord:01BBh
- |
- :0040104D E832000000 Call 00401080 ;Calls the MessageBox, we will patch
- :00401053 EB2A jmp 00401068 ;those two lines !!!
-
-
- If we go to offset 40106C, which is called at 401024, we see :
-
- * Referenced by a CALL at Address:
- |:00401024 ;Call 0040106C
- |
-
- * Reference To: KERNEL32.ExitProcess, Ord:0075h
- |
- :0040106C FF2504204000 Jmp dword ptr [00402004] ;we will patch with this jump
-
-
- So if we replace the bytes at offsets 40104D and 401053 by those at offset 40106C, the
- shity prog will exit by clicking on the exit button and the fucking MessageBox won't appear
- anymore hehe. So I patched :
-
- :0040104D E832000000 Call 00401080
- :00401053 EB2A jmp 00401068
-
- by
-
- :0040104D FF2504204000 Jmp dword ptr [00402004] ; = Call ExitProcess
- :00401053 90 nop ;just to make pretty ;)
-
- And the prog exits now by clicking on the cross or the exit button, hehe. It was easy, but great.
- We just had to know the ExitProcess API :).
-
-
