LatigoConditional jump NOPed :)Fri Dec 18 01:41:59 1998 Hi there fellow crackers!!!!!!i was going to bed when i decided to check the forum first, and to my surprise, task number 3 was on its way..so i decided to take a chance :)Someone once told me : ..'the human being tends to do things the most complicated way..' and thats what i did trying to solve task 3.I went from using softice,to searching the win32 api looking for calls such as 'enableButton' and weird things like those.And after about an hour of useless research and frustrated results, i decided to use our ol'friend w32dasm.I fired w32dasm,and remembering that when registered cyt will show the word 'Registered' in the about box, i searched for that word. This word appears twice, one at 0043f4f3, and its not preceeded by any conditional jump as i was looking for. (again paying tribute to my human condition, i started trying to resolve task #3 using the information provided in that zone of the dead listing without realizing that there was indeed another place in the code where the word 'Registered' appeared :) )After about another half hour, i searched again for that nice little word,and found it at 00444ba7...but this time this line of code was preceed by a conditional jump!!!!!Alegria!!!!! :)* Referenced by a (U)nconditional or (C)onditional Jump at Address::00444b7c(C)After this, i Goto Code Location 00444b7c,and find the following :00444b7c 741b je 00444B99This was it, this is the damn conditional jump that took an hour and a half of sleeping from me :)From here on, you know, i edited the .exe in Hiew and replaced the 741B with EB1B that is JumpIfEqual replaced by Jump :)thats all folks!NOW im going to sleep :)Latigo
