This is mainly due to computer processes' ability to be completely manipulated by an assembly debugger.

Even with today's most advanced methods of defeating piracy in place, it is still relatively easy to crack almost any program in the world.

This function generates lovely passwords such as “RlF&-sL&Y” that successfully pass the check.If you've ever wondered how software pirates can take software and crack it time and time again, even with security in place, this small series is for you. <- char ( 0 xFB - v3 - v2 - v1 ) else aux3 () aux3 () System. <- char ( v1 + v2 ) //finally 4 in range values that add up to 0xFB (251) //each character must be at least 32! let rec aux3 () = let v1, v2, v3 = getAscii (), getAscii (), getAscii () if v1 + v2 + v3 < 0 xFB then pwd. ^^^ 0 xB ) let rec aux2 () = let v1, v2 = getAscii (), getAscii () if inRange ( v1 + v2 ) then v1, v2 else aux2 () let v1, v2 = aux2 () pwd. <- char 0 x2D // always x2D '-' let rec aux1 () = let v = getAscii () let v = v ^^^ 0 xB if inRange v then v else aux1 () pwd. silly brute force keygen let keygen () = let getAscii = let chaos = System. Loading the program in the debugger and viewing the Memory Map screen will show us how the operating system has laid out the program along with all the additional libraries it has loaded. Since the program already tells us it was written in Pascal, and this is a really simple crackme - there’s not much to investigate, but lets look at it anyway.
