The ACiD BuRN's FAQ ------------------------- This file has been written to avoid all mails about requesting me to crack their lame ass applications and some 'not cracking at all' questions... Hopefully there are some newbies who want to learn how to use sice and stuff.. What is cracking ? ---------------------- Cracking is the manual deprotection of software, using tools such as debugger , disassembler , hexeditors... Cracking is done for knowledge purpose and not for collecting the most possible 'pirated' stuff... By the way, Cracking is nothing to do with hacking , Burning CD, mail bombs , virus, torjans like netbus and lame ass shit like that... And moreover , cracking *IS NOT* using already made crack... Using an already made crack won't make you a cracker , that will make you a Lamer.... Frequently Asked Questions: (could also be called: Fucking asked questions :p) 0)Does your nick 'ACiD BuRN' come from the movie 'hacker' ?! ermmmm , i am getting pissed of that stupid question... my nick ain't going from this lame ass movie, i hate it. i got it since many years, this lame movie is not that old. I won't even bother to reply to your mail , but if you are pisssing me off on the #cracking4newbies channel , i would ban you without any remorse :p You are Warned heheh :) 1)Could you crack this program for me please ? it is very expensive BLABLA... Fuck no! i won't even bother to reply to this kind of mail , and i will delete it... i don't crack on request , except if it is from a *GOOD* friend trying to understand the protection itself and who don't care of the program ! Anyway, don't even think to learn the basis of cracking and then mailing me the request heh! i said *GOOD* friend only... I don't have much free time and got other things to do aswell... BTW, i do *NOT* crack for money, stop mailing me with such lame request. (e.g Crack this for me and i will send you Money !! <-- Fuck off ) 2)I have read your tuts and i have a similar VB program , and i would like to use it,but i can't crack it, have been trying to crack it for months now , but i keep failing... could you look it ? and send me the serial / keygen ? thx... *sight*, again such mails will be wiped out... read the 1st question! I WON'T look/crack/whatever on request... So, if you was thinking about such a mail for your shitty app , do *NOT* mail me... I will keep request mail somewhere and maybe publish them with the mail author.. so you better shut the fuck up and learn cracking hehe :p I WILL DEFINITIVELY *NOT* CRACK ON REQUEST! BEWARE LAMERS , YOU GOTTA BE PUBLICLY EXPOSED WITH SUCH LAME ATTITUDES... 3)I have read your tutorial but cannot understand all, could you explain me more ? and what is soft ice anyway ? is that an hexeditor ? thx.. Oh my god... 1st of all, before mailing me 'coz you don't understand something in my tutorials , you have to read it some more times untill you see the *light* ! :) If after many reads , you cannot get it , ask yourself that: "Is this tutorial at my level ?" by this i mean , do not mail me questions on my Cdilla or Dongle tutorials if you are a 2 Weeks aspiring cracker .. :p You get me ? and moreover RTFM !!!!!!!! Then , you might ask me courteously your question, explaining me where you are lost and i will do my best to help you ! Of course , if you are a newbie and if you ask me newbies questions i will answer :) *NO* MASS mail though :) BTW, Soft ice is not a hexeditor! it is a debugger... Read the tuts and you will see what they are used for :) 5)Man, i saw your tuts they are GREAT !!!! i am a newbie cracker and wanna learn more ! could you be my mentor or my master plz ! i learn pretty fast ... blablabla Get the fuck outta here ! i ain't gonna be the mentor/master of anyone.. Keep learning and read the most tutors you can and practice.. AGAIN , do *NOT* mail me for such questions.. 6)WOw, you seem g00d in cracking ! i wish to have you in my new cracking group... No many releases yet , but we need good crackers like you! wanna join ?! hah :) i have been asked lotta times to join groups... Lame/new/Famous one and i said : No i already belong to 2 groups and it is enough... I am in: - ECLiPSE: *Keygen* only group.have been in here since the beggining, been leader ... So i won't leave it for anything ! i got GOOD friends there and that the most important things for me... - Immortal Descendants: I do tutorials on Reversing , keygening , Dongle hunting , and all other nice subjects.. it ain't a releasing group.Knowledge purpose only ! You better forget to mail me about joining your group! i *WON'T* join anyway... i keygened CORE crackme and didn't join them.. So , i dunno why i should leave ECLiPSE to join a lame ass group! (not talking about CORE here hehe , they are amazing ;) Get it ? 7)Can you help me to install/configure soft ice ? erm, the feared question come :p Well installing soft ice is shit easy and i will writte a little on this here so don't MAIL ME for such a question after.. After installing Soft ice ( i assume you know how to run a setup else stop cracking and buy a Game boy instead heheh) you gotta reboot your computer... Once Windows started again , press Ctrl+D and soft ice should pop up ! else it ain't active so you gotta edit your autoexec.bat to get ride of the REM in front of the soft ice line... should look like that (The path may obviously differ): REM C:\PROGRA~1\NUMEGA\SOFTIC~1\WINICE.EXE modify it like this and reboot your computer again: C:\PROGRA~1\NUMEGA\SOFTIC~1\WINICE.EXE Under windows , press ctrl+D it works ..... When softice is visible, you can close the window by pressing CTRL-D again, or F5. Now , how to Configure Soft ice: In the soft ice directory there is a file called Winice.dat you have to edit it! For moron: use Notepad for example... Here the things you gotta change : PHYSMB=96 <---- here comes how many RAM you have (e.g: 16, 32 , 64 ,128 or more... ) you can aslo edit you INIT line.this lines contains a series of commands which are automatically executed when Winice loads... ex: INIT="LINES 60;WC30;set origin 10 10;WL;WR;WD 20;color 07 0B 71 04 02;CODE ON;X;" Then you have to kick some ';' in front of some dll files to export the 'function' in soft ice: ; ***** Examples of export symbols that can be included for Windows 95 ***** ; Change the path to the appropriate drive and directory ;EXP=c:\windows\system\kernel32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\user32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\gdi32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\comdlg32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\shell32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\advapi32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\shell232.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\comctl32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\crtdll.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\version.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\netlib32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\msshrui.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\msnet32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\mspwl32.dll ;EXP=c:\windows\system\mpr.dll This become: ; ***** Examples of export symbols that can be included for Windows 95 ***** ; Change the path to the appropriate drive and directory EXP=c:\windows\system\kernel32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\user32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\gdi32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\comdlg32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\shell32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\advapi32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\shell232.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\comctl32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\crtdll.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\version.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\netlib32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\msshrui.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\msnet32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\mspwl32.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\mpr.dll It will be clever to add VB5 and 6 dll to allow you to set BPX on them add this : EXP=c:\windows\system\Msvbvm50.dll EXP=c:\windows\system\Msvbvm60.dll Okay good :) now Reboot a last time and soft ice is configured hehe :) so *DO NOT* mail me stupid questions about configuring soft ice if you never read this FAQ... RTFM :p 8)Why when an app crash my soft ice always pop up ?!! it is very anoying... how to change this ? You can disable SoftICE's error by typing FAULTS OFF in softice, and then pressing F5 or ctrl+D again to close the window. Sometimes you have to type : 'exit' in soft ice to end a 'crashed' application... *DO NOT* mail me questions about topics already discussed here.. Will be updated later.....
