Greetings Magenta(H2cPQ),

I don't wish to take any credit from your work on Uninstal Manager but it's better if people ask questions here, since the answers they get will benefit everyone.

Secondly, while I and perhaps a few others understand the process of XOR'ing of serials etc the vast majority don't, so with this in mind I shall be explaining later on a far easier way for people to understand how the serial number can be figured out without complicating matters with XOR'ing etc. Can I do this? Most certainly I can and far easier than you could imagine..:).

Trouble is, sometimes as Crackers, we seek the obvious way to a crack, ignoring in the process the *REAL* art of cracking that +ORC teaches us so well in his tuts, if only we would listen... My main aim in this exercise is to try and de-mystify some aspects of cracking while encouraging crackers to understand their target first before going in for the kill.

Kind regards

The Sandman
