 lets start :
+------------+
well.. this is not a real tutorial, its more kind of an essay..
today we will review the basic of cracking...
it is important for you to know the basic rules of cracking, this basic rules will
help ya to become a good cracker...

1.  you cant crack everything,
    remember this, always. you are not the el-mighty, you'll never know enough...

2.  EVERYTHING IS CRACKABLE.
    everything become crackable sometimes, if we see asprotect 1.3 almost impossible,
    in a year or two, every newbie will inject funtions threw this protector...
 
3.  Share your knowledge, if you learnt some tricks, tell them to others, write tutorials,
    essays, crackmes do all you can do to help the next crackers generation in cracking...

4.  read MORE tutorials, as rule no. 1 says, we are not the best, but other crackers
    know things we dont and we know things they dont... so keep on reading tutorials.

5.  learn to code, if you'll know how a complicated program works, and how its coded,
    it will be easier to crack it...

6.  dont be one of the gang, be the rebel, use alternate tools, so the sharewares coders
    wont be able to blick ya, find a tool, learn it, be a master of the tool, be the tool...

7.  learn tools, dont be just a rebel, be a rebel that know the usual tools, like me..
    i use w32dasm as debugger, almost no one use it so no anti-coding.. but i know sice..

8.  if you'll join groups, even as trial member, you'll meet people, they'll probably help you,
    you will might be able to help them as well, finally, you'll get to know the protections
    you are working on better and better...

9.  keep yourself updated, this one is very important, you should be using the latest tools,
    learn the newest protections, start a hotmail that will use ya to be a member in a mailing
    list of sharewares coders, learn thier techniques, be almost one of them..

10. discover things by yourself, teach yourself on tricks you've found and you never read about'em.
    dont forget to teach other these tricks, self-learning is the best...

11. dont ripp other people's work, they've worked very hard on thier releases, 
    dont ripp the cracks/keygens/create serials from other peoples keygens its not fair.

12. code more, read more, crack more, write more, be cracker.


 Ending :
+--------+

this is an essay on the basics you should remember on being a cracker, a good one.
you dont have to obey all of them, but you shuold remember all of them...

and just remeber, a looser is a good cracker, as long they keep obeying rule 11. 

so, read more tutorials.
