INTRODUCTION
Introduction
------------
Welcome to the wonderful world of cracking. What is
cracking? If you don't know and you're reading this, ask
yourself why? Anyway, cracking is the art of removing copy
protected coding from programs. Why do this? In recent
years, software companies have been fighting to keep copy
protection in their software to avoid their work to be
illegally copied. Users feel that such copy protection is
ridiculous in that it violate their own rights to make
backups of their sometimes expensive investments.
Whichever side you may favor, this manual will go into
some detail on removing copy protection from programs. If
you feel offended by this, then I would suggest you stop
here. Please note, I do not endorse cracking for the illegal
copying of software. Please take into consideration the hard
work and effort of many programmers to make the software.
Illegal copying would only increase prices on software for
all people. Use this manual with discretion as I place into
your trust and judgement with the following knowledge.

The Cracking Manual
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
What You Will Need
------------------
Like all programming, cracking is the debugging stage of
software development. It is the most tedious and hectic part
of programming as you shall see. However, unlike software
development, you are given no source code, only the machine
level code commonly called machine language. Cracking
demands patience. No patience, no cracking.
Before we begin, you will need certain tools. These
include:
- A decent computer. By this, I mean at minimum a 286
computer with 2 or more megs of RAM. A 386 is the
ideal since it can load a debugger into usable memory.
- A source level debugger (eg. Turbo Debugger)
- A low level debugger (eg. DEBUG)
- An assembler system (eg. MASM, LINK, EXE2BIN)
- A hex dumping program (eg. Norton Utilities)
The source level debugger is what you will try to be using
most of the time. It provides many features that are a
convenience to the cracker, such as interrupt redirection.
Become comfortable with its features. However, in some
instances, the source level debugger may not be suitable for
cracking huge games since the debugger itself may take up too
much memory. In such a case, a low level debugger must be
used since their memory usage may be considered negligible.
This manual will focus on its use.
The assembler package will be used in the creation of
the famed loaders, which provide the cracker with dynamic
memory alterations without changing the original program.

CRASH COURSE IN ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
Crash Course in Assembly Language
---------------------------------
If you are already well familiar with the assembly
language, you may wish to skip this section. Cracking
demands the knowledge of assembly language. If you wish to
become a "serious" cracker, you might like to read up more
about this fascinating language. This section will only give
you enough info for intermediate level cracking.
At this point, you should familiarize yourself with
DEBUG and its commands as we will be using them shortly.
Registers
---------
One of the neato things that you will be fooling around
most often with are called the registers. Registers are like
variables (such as in BASIC) that are located within the CPU
itself. These registers may hold a positive integer from 0
to 255 or from 0 to 65535. They can also hold negative
integers from -128 to 127 or from -32768 to 32767. The
registers are given names as follows:
AX => accumulator - this register is most commonly used
for mathematical or I/O operations
BX => base - this register is used commonly as a base or
a pointer register (we'll talk more about this
later)
CX => count - used commonly for counting instructions
such as loops
DX => displacement - much like the base register
The registers stated above are considered general purpose
registers, since they can basically be used to store whatever
the user wants. Let's try putting some number in these
registers. Type in "R {enter}". You should see a bunch of
info, of which are four of the above mentioned registers.
Now, type in "RAX {enter}". Then type in a number like
8FABh. Type in "R" again and noticed how the accumulator
(AX) has change its number.
These general purpose registers can also be "split" in
half into its higher and lower order components. Instead of
having one register AX, you can have two registers, AH and
AL. Note however that while you have a range of 0 to FFFFh
for AX, you will now have a range of 0 to FF for AH and AL.
You cannot change these directly in debug, but be aware that
programs will use it. If AX contains 0A4Ch, then AH will
contain 0Ah and AL will contain 4Ch.
The following are called the segment registers:
CS => code segment - the block of memory where the code
(instructions are located)
DS => data segment - the block of memory where data can
be accessed. In block move operations in which
Page 3
The Cracking Manual
huge blocks of memory are moved, this is commonly
the segment in which the CPU reads from.
ES => extra segment - also another data segment. In
block move operations in which huge blocks of
memory are moved, this is commonly the segment in
which the CPU writes to.
SS => stack segment - this is the block of memory in
which the CPU uses to store return addresses from
subroutines. (more on this later)
In introductory level of cracking, we don't mess around with
these registers. Later, we will see how we can use these to
trick a program into thinking other things, but that's later.
You can also change these registers in debug. Type in "RCS
{enter}". Then enter "0 {enter}" and notice how the CS
register changed.
There are other registers that we use to see what the
program is doing. These registers can also be change in
debug. Included are the following:
SI => source index - this register is used in
conjunction with block move instructions. This is
a pointer within a segment (usually DS) that is
read from by the CPU.
DI => destination index - this register is also used in
conjunction with block move instructions. This is
a pointer within a segment (usually ES) that is
written to by the CPU.
BP => base pointer - a pointer used commonly with the
stack segment
SP => stack pointer - another pointer used commonly with
the stack segment (this one, you don't touch)
By now, you may probably be confused about this
segment/pointer bit. Here is an analogy that my straighten
things out.
Pretend you are in kindergarden learning to read. There
are four black boards surrounding the room. These black
boards are like SEGMENTS. Let's pretend the front blackboard
is the code segment (CS). The teacher has written some
instructions on pronunciation rules. This is what the
students refer to when they try to pronounce words. In a
program, this is what the CPU refers to when it follows
directions.
Okay, now the teacher has gone to the blackboard on the
left of the classroom. We will call this board the data
segment (DS). The teacher has also written a set of words on
the board. Then she uses a wooden stick or a POINTER to
point to a word. Let's pretend this stick is the source
index (SI). She points to the word "their". Now, the
students look at the front blackboard (CS) to see how to
pronounce the word and they say "their".
Now, the instructor wants the students to learn how to
write. She points the stick to the word "apple". The
Page 4
The Cracking Manual
students pronounce the word. Then she goes to the blackboard
on the right. We shall call this one the extra segment (ES).
She then uses her finger as a different POINTER and points to
a location on the board where Mary Jane will write "apple".
That's basically what segments and pointers are.
Segments are the blackboards and pointers are the teacher's
stick (we're not talking sexually here) or finger.
One last important register is the flags register.
These registers control how certain instruction work, such as
the conditional jumps (in BASIC, they are like IF-THEN's).
They are stored as bits (0's or 1's) in the flags register.
We will most often use:
zero => ZR/NZ (zero/not zero) - tells you whether an
instruction (such as subtraction) yielded a zero
as an answer
sign => NG/PL (negative/positive) - tells you whether an
instruction yielded a positive or negative
number
carry => CY/NC (carry/no carry) - tells you whether an
instruction needed to carry a bit (like in
addition, you carry a number over to the next
digit). Various system (BIOS) functions use
this flag to denote an error.
direction => DN/UP (decrement/increment) - tells a block
instruction to either move forward or backwards
in reads and writes
Try changing some of these bits. Type in "RF {enter}". Then
type in "DN {enter}" to change the direction flag to its
decrement position.
The Instructions
----------------
MOV - move
----------
Now we get to the actual instructions or commands that
the CPU will use. The first instruction you will see most
often is the move instruction. Its form is
MOV {destination},{source}. Let's try programming now. Exit
(q) and reenter debug again. Now, type in "A {enter}". You
will see a bunch of number to the left. You can think of
these as line numbers. Now type in "MOV AX,7A7A {enter}".
Then type "MOV DX,AX" and so on until your program looks
similar to the one below: (type "U 100" to see)
xxxx:0100 B8A77A MOV AX,7AA7
xxxx:0103 89C2 MOV DX,AX
xxxx:0105 B90000 MOV CX,0000
xxxx:0108 88D1 MOV CL,DL

xxxx:0112 BB0200 MOV BX,0002
Page 5
The Cracking Manual
xxxx:0115 26A30005 MOV ES:[0500],AX
Press enter again until you see the "-" prompt again. You
are ready to run your first program. Type "R {enter}" and
note the values of the general purpose registers. Then type
in "T {enter}". Debug will automatically display the
registers after the execution of the instruction. What is in

Keeping an eye out for viruses
Computer viruses are everywhere! This guide will show you how to stay alert and how to avoid getting infections on your computer. Having an updated virus scanner is only a small part of this, there are many ways that you can prevent having viruses other than a virus scanner, as it will not always save you.

The difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW
The difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW explained
There's DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and even DVD-ROM! So what's the difference between all of these different names, aren't all DVDs the same? Well, it's not quite that simple.
Let's first start with the most obvious difference: some have R and some have RW. The "R" stands for readable, while the "W" stands for writeable.
The main difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW, or DVD+R and DVD+RW is that the R disc formats can only be written to once, and then it is only readable and can’t be erased for the rest of its digital life. While RW discs are can be written to and erased many times, they are both readable and writeable.
"R" discs are perfect if they are only needed to be written to once, such as giving some files to a friend or transferring them between PCs. "RW" discs have their strength in the ability to be used many times over, which is great for routine system backups, etc. And naturally, the RW discs are slightly more expensive than the R discs, but you'll have to decide if the trade offs are worth the money.
Now, onto the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R. As I just described above, DVD-R & DVD-RW are sister discs, the difference being one is writeable once, while the other is writeable multiple times. The same thing is true for DVD+R & DVD+RW. So the question is, what's the difference between the plus and minus?
In order to explain this we must take a trip back in time. When DVDs were first being developed, there was no industry standard. Multiple companies were competing to develop what they hoped would be the dominant form of the future.
The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarized by the following:
* The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These "minus" discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the "plus" format.
* The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Mcft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the "minus" format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than "minus" discs.
A couple final things to clear up is the difference between DVD-ROM and DVD+RW, or the other DVD formats I mentioned above. The DVD-ROM drive can only read DVDs, while the other DVD drives can read and write data to DVDs.
And naturally the DVD+RW CD+RW difference can be explained by the "DVD" or "CD" prefix. DVDs, on average, can store up to 4.7 GB of data, while a CD can only store about 700 MB of data, or about 15% of a DVD's capacity. While CDs are slightly cheaper, in my opinion, the benefits of DVDs are much greater.
So now that you've learned about the difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and even DVD-ROM, which one is right for you? The easiest way to determine which is more beneficial is to watch the industry trends. A few years ago all pre-built computers were shipping with DVD-ROM drives. Today, most PCs have a burnable DVD drive.
I feel that the benefits of having a burnable DVD drive far outweigh any additional costs. They store much more data, and they are ideal for storing your home movies to watch on your DVD player.
My advice is to look at DVD burners that support all of the major formats I've mentioned above, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW. While a DVD drive that supports all of these formats may be slightly more expensive, it will allow you to use any type of DVD disc to burn to, and you'll be protected from any industry shifts to one format or the other.
There's DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and even DVD-ROM! So what's the difference between all of these different names, aren't all DVDs the same? Well, it's not quite that simple.
Let's first start with the most obvious difference: some have R and some have RW. The "R" stands for readable, while the "W" stands for writeable.
The main difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW, or DVD+R and DVD+RW is that the R disc formats can only be written to once, and then it is only readable and can’t be erased for the rest of its digital life. While RW discs are can be written to and erased many times, they are both readable and writeable.
"R" discs are perfect if they are only needed to be written to once, such as giving some files to a friend or transferring them between PCs. "RW" discs have their strength in the ability to be used many times over, which is great for routine system backups, etc. And naturally, the RW discs are slightly more expensive than the R discs, but you'll have to decide if the trade offs are worth the money.
Now, onto the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R. As I just described above, DVD-R & DVD-RW are sister discs, the difference being one is writeable once, while the other is writeable multiple times. The same thing is true for DVD+R & DVD+RW. So the question is, what's the difference between the plus and minus?
In order to explain this we must take a trip back in time. When DVDs were first being developed, there was no industry standard. Multiple companies were competing to develop what they hoped would be the dominant form of the future.
The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarized by the following:
* The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These "minus" discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the "plus" format.
* The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Mcft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the "minus" format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than "minus" discs.
A couple final things to clear up is the difference between DVD-ROM and DVD+RW, or the other DVD formats I mentioned above. The DVD-ROM drive can only read DVDs, while the other DVD drives can read and write data to DVDs.
And naturally the DVD+RW CD+RW difference can be explained by the "DVD" or "CD" prefix. DVDs, on average, can store up to 4.7 GB of data, while a CD can only store about 700 MB of data, or about 15% of a DVD's capacity. While CDs are slightly cheaper, in my opinion, the benefits of DVDs are much greater.

Guide For Getting Free Stuff
k, if you are like me you have heard so much about the FreeIpods and FreeFlatScreens websites on different forums, blogs, IM's, etc, you are about to puke. So am I. But yet the draw of getting an Ipod for doing basically nothing is pretty strong. I dismissed all the "stories" of people getting their ipods as the marketing machine at work. However, when Kevin Rose published that not only did he receive his, but a few of his friends did as well, I figured I might take a chance and give it a go. Today I received proof that it does indeed work. Yep, I got my iPod.

20 Great Google Secrets
Google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web (see

But most people don't use it to its best advantage. Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google's index, it's still a struggle to pare results to a manageable number.
