I haven't got the time to write an essay about CoSH's CrackMe 1. However just a few things about 'the crack': Rating: 1 The protection is a simple FileCreation-Test (CreateFileA; 401374); he uses 'fake' CD-Checks using the GetDriveType-Function. If everything is OK, flag will be set and then a simple CMP as the REAL CD-Check. Could be an example of a poorly protected game like most M$ gamez ... they normally just use the GetDriveType-Check. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TORN@DO [Immortal Descendants]
