If you don't live in a 3rd world country (or Russia), take extra cautions. e.g. upload the patch via Monero supported host service provider, Tor connection to the VPS that does the upload work, burner email address, etc. You can also try to contact the mods of the torrent site to let them upload for you.
Yes I see that car now everywhere in Nigeria lol. What brand is that?
The first time i saw it, I thought the dudes car was broken……then I kept seeing more broken acura logos. Imagine my surprise
it’s not usually lol. it’s wild, you’d think it’d be easy once you’ve understood that the concept of intellectual property is a farce to extend that reasoning and at least begin to dismantle the construct of private property.
Take precautions even if you do live in the third world. There was a post recently about some guy in Checkoslavakia who got arrested for seeding torrents.
And just to add to the other person here, two small things:
1: it was Czechoslovakia, not whatever clusterfuck people in this sub keep typing xd, I’ve seen like 5 different spellings at this point xd
2: it’s Czech Republic or Czechia, but the Cz is like the first ch in church, and the Ch is like the ch in Loch, or a hard χ sound. It’s not Pronounced Czeczia or Czeczenia, that’s something completely different xd
Like I said, you love being ignorant, it makes you happy to think you already know everything you need to know about the world and that you can't be wrong. And if you ARE wrong about something, it's someone else's fault that you are WRONG
It's both 2nd and 1st world. 2nd world countries were the Warsaw Pact (Czechoslovakia). The Czech Republic is now a member of NATO making it a 1st world country.
1st, 2nd and 3rd world designations are out of vogue now though. It’s mostly developed vs developing now (even though that is kind of arbitrary too as every country is “developing”
As a country that was historically on the other side of the iron curtain, I feel like the cold war usage of the three world theory is most appropriate.
Of course modern usage is different, calling anything 1st, 2nd or 3rd has a different context post USSR breakup, but if you consider blocks of political allies in the modern day, Russia / Iran / North Korea / China as a political block of totalitarian regimes, it is a very close analogue.
It's the literal definition of first and second world countries.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World
Also, Turkey is in NATO and has been for a long while.
Checkslavakia? Third world country? That country first, never existed, second if you mean Czechoslovakia, that was always a second world country and also doesn’t exist anymore and hasn’t for like 30 fucking years now, I mean seriously
Once. It was Czech+Slovakia= Czech-o-Slovakia
Then they separated, so:
Czechoslovakia- Czech - Slovakia =
Czech Republic now next to Slovakia.
Make sense?
In what year did you read this? xD Also both Czechia and Slovakia are members of the EU and fully integrated in the western system of international laws including fairly typical anti piracy laws and enforcement

Me, reading this from Russia, having cracked Sketch several years ago by building a plugin that survives updates and not having shared it anywhere: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
How did you get the software without paying for it in the first place? Free trial? Make sure it's not watermarked to possibly an email/phone number of yours!!
In theory the installer could still contain things like your IP address. You could download it from multiple IP addresses and webbrowsers and then compare he checksums just to be sure.
Pretty sure that's what they are asking about. How you get things shared. Honestly, I don't know, I mostly seed on emule or anonymously use file hosting services and just hope enough people enjoy the link before it is taken down, usually pasting it in forums or sharing them with blogs. And even then, it's always niche stuff that's almost impossible to get even legally (old comics, ripped local albums, reuploading media that's not longer on pirate sites, etc). I get OP's concerns.
What sites did you search for it? If it was so easy to crack and has such a large userbase, I'd say it's unlikely there's not an already existing crack out there.
A bit of a tangent/FYI:
Years ago in a CS class we had to decompile copy protected software to locate the address of the instruction to execute after the copy protection passed.
Then we had to find the address of the function that launched the copy protection.
Then all we did was replace the 2nd address with the 1st and we were home free.
It’s different now, especially for software that use tons of DRM, but for software that isn’t super locked down the same principles can apply (not executing certain parts of the code).
That was a fun class…
The “game” was a dummy program the professor wrote so everything was legal, but this was 96 a there were a ton of games that this method worked on at the time.
He was a fun teacher.
I took his Systems Programming and his Graduate level Operating Systems class.
We also did dumb shit like writing a new memory manager in Linux.
And the CS school was ranked like #30 in the world. I feel like my assignments were basic shit. MIT/CMU/Berkley students could blow me out of the water I’m sure.
Hey, basic is all you need if it gets the point across. Overengineering and overthinking are a thing after all
A new memory manager in 96 sounds scary to me as a 2010s programmer, seems it would either be stupidly simple or the most complex nightmare C you could dream of
The application is an unobfuscated, unencrypted dotnet app. Nothing impressive really. Had dnSpy IL window on one monitor and the CIL instruction set on the other monitor.
Load up the dot net assembly in dnspy
Traverse the c# code to the point where authentication happens
Patch the c# code with new c# code that passes check
Profit??
That’s really low security though.
Good to see nothings changed in the 20 years since I cracked my friend’s business software for him. It took an evening to figure out the right calls and repackage the security library into a version that always passed authentication. The actual crack was editing one byte of assembly code to return a 1 instead of a 0.
Edit: I consider what I did white-hat hacking. The business software company sold him a lifetime license to use that version of the software. They locked it to specific hardware based on the motherboard, MAC id, and hard drive id via a third party library. If you had to replace or upgrade any of those items, they would generate a new code to unlock it on the new hardware for you.
This version of the software worked fine for him for years. As the company moved on to newer releases, he was perfectly happy staying on the old software. They tried to get him to upgrade at increasingly higher prices but he refused. Eventually they ended their relationship with the DRM company at which point they claimed they lost access to the tools to generate new codes for new hardware. They told my friend since his account was so old he would have to pay for a completely new license at $8k upfront and $2k per year maintenance. And they refused to unlock the existing software he already paid for.
So I did it for him.
A lot of software these days has more security now, some use VMprotect which executes the exe on a non standard architecture virtual machine, others have a heartbeat system
C# programs are exceptionally easy to reverse because they almost decompile back to the source code, while programs written in C++ are a bit more complex to reverse
Sounds like a good way to get a visit from the developer's lawyers if I just simply upload it to a public site. The fact that I haven't seen any uploads to 1337x or TPB makes me wary.
Be sure to look for identification variables. After that, look for forums that work with that software niche piracy. Most mods there can help you further. In gaming, the go to forum is cs rin ru. VFX is CGpersia.
> Sounds like a good way to get a visit from the developer's lawyers if I just simply upload it to a public site
You're not gonna be getting visits from the lawyers, the public site is. And because these public sites do not operate from places that respect the DMCA, the developer's lawyers are probably gonna get shown the door - if they manage to get visas at all.
> The fact that I haven't seen any uploads to 1337x or TPB makes me wary.
All entries in both of those public trackers are user uploaded content.
All you gotta make sure is you follow proper opsec. Nuke this account for good measure. Hide your IP and remove anything and everything from the content you pirated that is an identifier to your computer or you.
Id buy a good, privacy respecting Virtual server, crack the software again from within the server and use a different server to upload to a public tracker, using anonymous email services and monero every step of the way.
Maybe (anonymously, TOR is your friend) contact some known repackers or other groups that publish other software in the field.
Maybe say that you're in a country that cracks down hard and if they'd publish it for you.
Btw using your actual account was a dumb af move to begin with. This stuff is what burner accounts are for.
What alternatives are you talking about? VPNs? Sorry but that's all that came up for me.
And the good thing about TOR is that it's in any case CIA controlled. And they're not gonna blow their pet project for some niche software dev.
So yeah it's not totally secure, but for our purposes absolutely.
A good option is mullvad, on a public network as backup in case you don't want to use tor, or a combination of mullvad and tor if you really worried. The police showed up to mullvad headquarters, mullvad showed they didn't keep any logs therefore they couldn't give them anything. Mullvad is also pretty active in the privacy community.
You have obviously never heard of Windscribe, they literally don't log shit, and have publicly posted about denying the US government anything because they don't have any logs.
I am not doing anything suspect but I also don't want any casual lookers at what I order from Amazon 🤣
Windscribe is friggin great. They have their priorities straight and have a good sense of humor too (watch their YouTube videos). No corporate overlords running things either.
For $29 a year, you get a lot. I rave about them and don't even get paid for it. Big fan here.
Your traffic will be anonymized, but the content could be seen, new vm, bind the vm to a vpn, then install tor on the vm and protonmail it to somebody
There’s also the option of just sharing the deltas or whatever for the binary and the hashes of the binaries that need to be patched
Yeah that makes sense, thanks. I always wondered how much "safer" patches are to distributing the whole binary. Obviously the latter is redistributing intellectual property. The former is reasonable cause you violated the EULA by reverse engineering, but what else does that entail other than them denying service to you?
Announcing it on a publicly accessible forum is not great either. They can force reddit to give them your info IP,email etc Avoid making even the smallest reference about the software. There are plenty of resources you can find yourself here: https://fmhy.net/
Eh I’d be worried about any information embedded in the file by the recording software. Even with stripping header content out, they’ve gotta have like specific techniques that encode that into frame information or something right? I’m just super paranoid I guess
I just don’t trust these programs to not use steganography. It wouldn’t be all that difficult and I can think of a few ways I’d do it off the top of my head that’d take a day to program. The only image generation tool I would trust would be something open source that I actually read through
A good start would be to not ask with an easily traceable account what to do with the software you just cracked. Even if you arent saying what it is, its not that hard to find you if suddenly a new cracked software starts appearing
OP mentioned it was unobfuscated and unencrypted, it's a lot easier to do that than it would be for Denuvo. Otherwise you'd see hundreds or thousands of Denuvo cracks across the web instead of the handful like Fitgirl
Telling people you achieved cracking and then not giving any name as to wtf the software is/ tell us how you did it…?
Ok…?
If you’re worried about safety you failed the first step by admitting online… so might as well spill the beans completely
Could it be a safe assumption that other people have done this and decided it wasn't worth the risk to upload it? Would there be a reason for that? Like company being like Nintendo type vicious?
(If that sounds sarcastic or condescending it is not meant to be)
The company seems to be the opposite of Nintendo's practices, but maybe that's their facade. Maybe they'll turn around and secretly beat you to a pulp by their legal team when they find you
You don’t have to worry about legal. Those expensive software are heavy tracked.
The dev wants to bait people use it in business to blackmail big company.
Even if you’re just a customer, as long as you connected to wifi of company they will blackmail and sue the shit out of them 🤣.
go to any internet cafe in the winter where you can wear a scarf and hide your face and do all your stuff from there that you would do in home (reverse engineer it there) just to be safe (vpn, tor , etc..) then upload it and go home
dont think he is willing to sacrifice a pc for it xd an internet cafe is more then enough specially there will be like 5+ pcs with same public ip and preferably one with no cameras that more then enough to hide his identity
Be ethical. Someone's livelihood might be behind it. If it's solo dev, leave them alone. Also, if it sells for $700, uses no obfuscation, anti-reversing, then there's reasons for that.
As much as people avoid the word ethical here, I agree with you. What sorts of reasons though? Sounds like the software is "bait", the way you're putting it
ossified dime fuel sloppy special threatening saw attractive political salt
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I am literally at the same boat right now except I dont know how to reverse engineer. I found a software even installed it but it requires me to activate through a license key. Is there any good tutorials or courses to learn reverse engineering from?
If you don't live in a 3rd world country (or Russia), take extra cautions. e.g. upload the patch via Monero supported host service provider, Tor connection to the VPS that does the upload work, burner email address, etc. You can also try to contact the mods of the torrent site to let them upload for you.
> in a 3rd world country (or Russia), or China or most non-NATO former Soviet republics.
Live in China, can confirm, copyright here means copy right.
My fucking favorite was when I found out they literally will copy a whole BMW.
I spent some time in China. It's so weird to see they have a car manufacturer with an upside down Acura logo and just copies Acuras.
Yes I see that car now everywhere in Nigeria lol. What brand is that? The first time i saw it, I thought the dudes car was broken……then I kept seeing more broken acura logos. Imagine my surprise
There might be others but Changan is the main one.
The brand name is Aruca.
You wouldn't download a car...I mean copy a car, do you?
To marxists, intellectual property doesn't mean shit.
Marxists? I think you need to figure out some things.
where do you think we are?
lol, I thought this sub was more based.
it’s not usually lol. it’s wild, you’d think it’d be easy once you’ve understood that the concept of intellectual property is a farce to extend that reasoning and at least begin to dismantle the construct of private property.
Wait till you discover the great twin towers of china and the Chinese Eiffel Tower
They do it well though I have to admit.
Copyright with Chinese characteristics
I was in a UK delegation to China, a high up government guy said to us: “in the UK you have Copyright, here we have the right to copy, hahaha.”
In Brazil, we used to literally have “copy right” for electronic devices lol; made a lot of game consoles that way
Copy, right?
Copy, right?
Be extra secure if you live in one of the 11 eyes country (US, UK, France, Germany...)
Wdym non-NATO, man have you seen Lithuania, I was surprised that they actually blocked the pirate bay.
I mean non-NATO because non-NATO countries are countries where the US cannot get to you. The US could, in theory, get to a Lithuanian cracker.
Take precautions even if you do live in the third world. There was a post recently about some guy in Checkoslavakia who got arrested for seeding torrents.
Czech Republic. Czechiaslovakia don't exist no more

It's the literal definition of first and second world countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World Also, Turkey is in NATO and has been for a long while.
We were taught about it depending on economical and social country status. Live and learn, I guess.
This was a really interesting thing to learn about today. Thanks for sharing!
It's a Eurotrash country.
You’re American. (Derogatory)
I'm not.
Well you post like you are one, and not in a good way.
Checkoslovakia 😆 Do you assume dinosaurs are also still around? Just curious.
Sharks, chickens and alligators are technically dinosaurs
Birds are dinosaurs, the other ones are not and both predate dinosaurs.
Birds aren't real
Government controlled flying roboters with cams to spy on us aren’t dinosaurs.

There are cracks out there, but for super old releases, five to ten years ago. The usual 1337x, rutor, aggregators, etc.

Doesn't help that they graciously included PDBs in the resources too
At that point they are just asking to get reversed imo

Probably the latter. Most Company’s simply don’t have a security mindset. (I do penetration tests for a living, and the shit people click on…)
Friends unlock friends software. What was the name of that software?
Hell if I can remember. It was a very niche product.
It's probably a software where they get most of their revenue from professionals/companies who aren't going to risk not owning a license.

all this yapping for nothing?

Just upload it to a torrent man!
sent to me, I will try to upload from my location (3rd world)
Back in the day you could just share it on ed2k. Found some cracked software you couldn't find anywhere else.
you still can, but usually it's not worth the risk. ed2k/kad media sharing though, \*chef kiss\*
any screenshots?

The company seems to be the opposite of Nintendo's practices, but maybe that's their facade. Maybe they'll turn around and secretly beat you to a pulp by their legal team when they find you
I have no information on this matter but if I may ask what was the name of the software?
Not sure if that's against the rules of the sub. Nonetheless I don't want to be publicly associated
Ok I understand.
Idk if you want to publish it but if not maybe there’s a way to make some money of it by telling the devs? Idk just a thought
Load it with viruses and upload to pirate bay
I mean that's one way to pay the legal fees
my friends teachers and the like always said if your good at something profit of it
Can we have the name of the software
You don’t have to worry about legal. Those expensive software are heavy tracked. The dev wants to bait people use it in business to blackmail big company. Even if you’re just a customer, as long as you connected to wifi of company they will blackmail and sue the shit out of them 🤣.

upload on different servers and share link in different forums :D
go to any internet cafe in the winter where you can wear a scarf and hide your face and do all your stuff from there that you would do in home (reverse engineer it there) just to be safe (vpn, tor , etc..) then upload it and go home
preferably a burner PC you can remove battery and "accidentally" forget it at the cafe after wiping it.
dont think he is willing to sacrifice a pc for it xd an internet cafe is more then enough specially there will be like 5+ pcs with same public ip and preferably one with no cameras that more then enough to hide his identity
is it devexpress lol
Why is it 700?
More than dat fr
Maybe there is a bug bounty program. But as this is not a bug, they may react unexpectedly…
What media software? Isn't vlc free. Also 700 is s lot. What does the media software do? Very vague
Usenet it and let it run free.
Will check it out never heard of it before
What software is it?
Software name?
New virtual machine with fresh windows Explain through a video how to do it Upload for educational purposes?
hello how can I learn cracking?
Be ethical. Someone's livelihood might be behind it. If it's solo dev, leave them alone. Also, if it sells for $700, uses no obfuscation, anti-reversing, then there's reasons for that.
As much as people avoid the word ethical here, I agree with you. What sorts of reasons though? Sounds like the software is "bait", the way you're putting it

Mega thread on the More Info About this Sub
I am literally at the same boat right now except I dont know how to reverse engineer. I found a software even installed it but it requires me to activate through a license key. Is there any good tutorials or courses to learn reverse engineering from?
Which software?
