Greetings Crackers,

Play time is over, lets now see what we've learned so far..

Question 3. If someone asked you to 'Patch' this program so that it became *FULLY* registered then where would you patch it?. Explain why you think it's the 'best' place for the patch.

Question 4. This program uses a 'simple' XOR method to 'encypt' the registration code before it saves this to the System Registry file. Locate and identify the small routine that performs the task of 'encypting' the User's Name. There's plenty of clues on this forum..)

Question 5. (Optional)
Explain how we can extract the 'key' to what letters & symbols the program assigns to the User's Name when it saves this to the System Registry file. Once we have this 'key' we can write our own serial/registration codes directly to the System Registrty file WITHOUT even going through the program itself!. (hint) If you can complete question three then this question follows on from this.

Good Luck!
