Flexlm ECC alternate patching methods

[nikkapedd]

gurandiL, you can build your vendor using lmseeds
lmseeds1= 0x11111111
lmseeds2= 0x22222222
lmseeds3= 0x33333333
then use your new build as base with the tool "PubKey_Replacer170_win".. But i tried 3, 4 times and the tool does not work..
Other way is to build your vendor, but recovering the handshake 4 seeds with ida.. Then use the PubKey_Replacer170_win only for the right pubkey...

Here is the body of the core that you have to find in the original vendor, then put the seeds in your new build

In the body of this function find code like this:
code
if ((l_6buff == l_var_3315) && ((l_func_3313 ^ 2296) & 0xff)) l_func_3313 ^= 2296;
if ((l_6buff == (l_var_3315 + 1)) && ((l_func_3313 ^ 7557) & 0xff)) l_func_3313 ^= 7557;
if ((l_6buff == (l_var_3315 + 3)) && ((l_func_3313 ^ 1789) & 0xff)) l_func_3313 ^= 1789;
if ((l_6buff == (l_var_3315 + 2)) && ((l_func_3313 ^ 6361) & 0xff)) l_func_3313 ^= 6361;

The values (not in hex) 2296, 7557, 1789 and 6361 are the 4 seeds for the handshake process.

Find this function in the original vendor daemon and get this values. Replace values
in your lm_new.c file with the values from original vendor daemon.
Tested and working by a master flexlm reverser...!!!!!!!

then should we also patch the return compare of the public key verify ?

this part is not necessary if you use your pubkey...
