//Program Name: Crackme 1a
//Programmer: n0p3x
//Date: 24th April 1999
//Version: 1
//FOREWORD
I managed to crack this program in the following way only because
i knew how the SoftICE detection routine worked. You would
probably be better of using WinDasm to crack this rather that
SoftICE.
//SOLUTION
1) Load the program.
1) Load SoftICE and type 'BPX CREATEFILEA'. Exit sice and click
on the 'RE-TEST' button
2) When Sice pops up press 'F12' until you exit all of the
windows routines.
3) after the call to the createfilea you will see a test followed
by a conditional jump.
4) Press 'F10' until you are on the conditional jump. Then alter
the register EIP to point to the line of code the conditional
jump would jump to if the test was true.(4010AD)
5) Done..
