Introduction to common software cracking tools

A swordsman cannot do without a sword, and a software cracking expert cannot do without a software cracking tool. This article mainly introduces several software cracking tools.

1. debugging tool SoftICE
2. debugging tool trw2000
3. Disassembly tool wdasm8.93
4. hiew
5. smartcheck, A Visual BASIC program debugging tool
6. hexadecimal Editor (for example, ultraedit, winhex, and hex Workshop)
7. Registry monitoring tools: regshot, regmon, or regsnap
8. Detect file types such as typ, gtw, and fileinfo
9. Shell removal tool procdump
10. debug tool icedump
11. Create crackcode2000 on the registration Machine
12. Backup windows preparation file tool ERU
13. File monitoring tool Filemon
14. Resource modifier exists
15. frogsice

Soft-ice is currently recognized as the best tracking and debugging tool. With soft-ice, you can easily track software errors or monitor software errors for debugging. You can even use it to replace the C-language debugger-if you do not like to use the C-language debugger. The idea is that it has several platform versions, DOS, window3.1, Win95/98/2000/, NT, so do not make a mistake.

The debugging software compiled by trw2000 Chinese people is fully compatible with various SoftICE commands, but many software can detect SoftICE, and trw2000 is much better in this regard. Trw2000 has its own unique aspect and is optimized for cracking software. In Windows, the tracing debugging program is more powerful. You can set various breakpoints, but there are more types of breakpoints; it can remove the encrypted shell like some shelling tools and automatically generate the EXE file, leaving more options for users; the version in DOS is tr.

Wdasm8.93 is the best tool for disassembly. It is convenient to disassemble the program. It can analyze the program process statically or dynamically, and is easy to operate and necessary to crack!

Hiew is a hexadecimal tool. In addition to the common hexadecimal functions, hiew also has a unique feature that can disassemble files and modify programs using assembler commands, is it cool!

The smartcheck vbprogram is essentially interpreted for execution. They only call vbrunxxx. in DLL, vb exe is a pseudo-code, and all programs are in vbxxx. DLL execution, you can only use SoftICE in vbdll to turn around, nothing can be changed, and the code quality is not high, the structure is quite complex. Of course, as long as you understand its features, SoftICE can also be used to crack it, but the appearance of smartcheck greatly facilitates us. It can completely record the operations executed by the vbprogram, making it easy for us to crack most vbprograms.

The hex editor hiew is a hexadecimal tool, but it is a DOS interface, so it is necessary to prepare a tool in windows. There are many such tools, such: ultraedit, winhex, and hex workshop. Among them, Hex workshop has its own characteristics and is easy to operate, but unfortunately there is no Chinese version.

The Registry monitoring tool registry is the core database of Windows 95 and Windows 98. The table contains various parameters, it directly controls Windows Startup, hardware driver loading, and whether some Windows applications run normally. During application software installation, it is possible to register in the registry and put some necessary information, such as the installation time and usage. Regshot, regmon, or regsnap is a tool used to monitor registry changes, to learn where the application is modified in the registry, and to assist in cracking.

Tools such as typ, gtw, and fileinfo are used to detect file types. This is an encrypted shell that can detect which software is encrypted (as if your file is compressed by zip, rar, and ARJ, if you do not know which software is attached to the shell, it is much more difficult to strip the shell ). Generally used with procudump.

The procdump shell removal tool can peel off many shells. Many of the software you use are compressed. You can use this tool to easily restore them and then modify them. You can also write your own script files, in order to shell the new shell. It is also an excellent PE format modification tool, essential for shelling!

Icedump is used in combination with SoftICE. It can capture memory data to reconstruct the EXE file, which is essential for shelling. You can debug and listen to MP3 under SoftICE! For more information, see readme.

Crackcode2000 is a brand new registration machine tool that can retrieve the registration code you want from the memory of another process. It can make you a high-level hacker overnight, with it, A lot of software can write the registration machine in 20 seconds, and you don't need to speak any language, because it is just a tool, a very simple tool, its parameters only have four lines, it's so simple that it's no longer simple, it's also very small, it's only 11 K, if you use other compression software, it will be less than 10 K, so it can be used to make a very good registration machine.

ERU is a tool that comes with the Windows installation disk. It is strongly recommended that you back up the system before you crack the software, because when you are looking for key points in the process of cracking some software, you need to modify it to verify your judgment. The result is successfully registered correctly. Then you want to go back and check out the results, it's useless to reinstall the software. Haha! It will always be a registered version, unless you reinstall the system. At this point, you only need to restore the registry and the preparation file, re-install the software, and register again. This time you can study it well ......, of course, this situation is rare, but it is necessary to back up the registry before cracking some software.

The Filemon file monitoring tool can monitor the running status of system files, such as which file is opened, which file is closed, and which file reads data. It is very useful for cracking, to understand what the application is doing when it starts, closes, or verifies the registration code.

Exescope resource modifier exescope can be called as the final parsing tool for execution files such as EXE and DLL. It provides the parsing and display functions for execution files (such as EXE and DLL) and extracts resources to external files; rewrites resources, record file records, and re-edit (batch edit) functions. It is a common tool for Chinese software. Of course, it is also useful for cracking software.

Frogsice's best soft-ice enhancement software! It does not simply hide sice, but allows you to cooperate with sice to avoid various traps in popular encryption and protection software. With it, you no longer have to worry about loading a program to prepare for debugging. The program tells you to terminate the operation when sice exists, or simply restart your machine, and even trigger more cruel revenge measures.
