In this Null Byte, let's go over how cracking could work in practice by looking at an example program (a program that serves no purpose other than for me to hack). This works because assembly allows you to speak directly to the processor and force a skip over the registration process. Using this, you can completely bypass the registration process by making it skip the application's key code verification process without using a valid key. This is mainly due to computer processes' ability to be completely manipulated by an assembly debugger. Even with today's most advanced methods of defeating piracy in place, it is still relatively easy to crack almost any program in the world. If you've ever wondered how software pirates can take software and crack it time and time again, even with security in place, this small series is for you.
