that's not 100% correct. just changing a jmp is for targets like WinRAR. there are targets with more complex things like just changing a jump. together with CRC checks it's a fantastic new world... and unpacking makes it perfect.

i must prove a serial is better than a crack. but there are things you will never keygen... things with online-checks... or nag-screens which are shown in full versions (yeah, i had one which always showed "powered by"). or as i said the UXTheme.dll of windows XP or the SFC_OS.dll. or Trillian Pro 2

in fact there are two interesting worlds so i think there's no need to call one boring
