fun and LOL
In a search for tools to translate large Fortran sources to another language(s) last nite I came across one for VB translation. It has a trial limitation so to evaluate it with large sources I had to deal with the protection. Why to rediscover hot water, first searched dupecheck for a serial or rls. There found nothing, though bit later I figured this was kgenned ages ago. Only that one must be careful and try some program *name* variations for hits. All right, have a look at inside, then.
Get h**p://www.2m2s.com/ftp/conv_for_bas.zip if interested. The protection is really weak and got my serial in no time. Almost cleared the bpxs when some steps cought my attention again. The algo was doing some strange steps, halfway in checking the serial. Those steps looked like sort of misplaced, no use. Then realised what this smartass programmer did. Gee, the serial checking routine does more than should: it is also the 'official' keygenerator, left in the product. Very bright idea, sonny :P Type in your Name/Id, then type the *magical* string of "JlagcVC" (without the quotation marks) in the Serial field. Clicking Ok will give you the GOOD serial to register. So, one more click on the OK button and you're done. Clean, fast, convenient; way cooler than any sweet lille keygen I could ever write for this thing. Well, oftentimes I think some authors would be better off NOT trying to protect their crap, at all. Why to bother, work and sweat for nothing. Like last week I saw some email/antispam application wherein the ingenious programmer put his public AND private (very large) RSA keys in the resources *G* But then, for us is just much better if they try hard. For one I'd really miss the fun and the occasional loud laugh. Cheers |
