IntroductionWelcome! on this fine you have reached CrackZ's Reverse Engineering Page, on the web now for 10 years, despite many censorship attempts. Amongst these pages you will find what is now a very rare commodity on todays commercialised web, a site where you can acquire all the skills you need to become a competent reverse engineer. This site provides information for analysts and protectionists alike, focusing mainly on the protection schemes of Window's software whilst debunking some of the mystery surrounding the sublime art of 'copy protection'. Everything here is yours for free, I hope you will enjoy taking some time to look around. In the last few years commercial profit motives have transformed the nature of web information and searching forever, a bitter irony indeed that in our rush to embrace a world of 'free information', more and more is now hidden, coves of free knowledge have been shunned in the stampede for 'e-commerce' gold, snake oil products infest the web. This site is fiercely against these trends, but is also realistic in that it will make not one iota of difference. Upon my pages you will find many teachings that should enable you (with a little work) to reverse engineer most of the software you'll ever encounter (probably saving you a considerable amount of money in the long term). On this site you will find no dubious advertising banners, irritating pop ups, endless loops of smut site referrals or top 100 this / that or other voting links, they couldn't pay me enough to promote their useless products anyway, this site aims to provide you with the basics to start reverse engineering, much of the material here is at a level where little more than a 'willingness to learn' is assumed, of course if you delve a little deeper you will (I hope) find much more. |

| If you are a new visitor, you might like to read my Getting Started Guide which may save you a considerable amount of time, if you are interested in reading a little about the history of my site, (including the many censorship attempts I have had to endure) as well as a few personal facts about me, then click here. You might also find my SoftICE Installation Guide and SoftICE Command Reference useful too. |
Legal NoticeAfter many legal problems, I am obliged to point out that this site is an information resource and a copyrighted original work by the author. Your acceptance of the terms of my disclaimer are expressly implied. Please understand here and now that there are definitely NOT any 'cracks' here, they aren't hard to find, go to your favourite search engine and type in 'warez' and you won't ever need to learn anything. I have never intended to collect law suits from annoyed software companies, sadly EmuLive Imaging Corporation didn't understand the real face of the 'warez scene' and proceeded to waste their money on expensive solicitors regardless. |
Message BoardsThe latest trend in our community seems now to be the 'Message Board', probably many of these existed a long time before I stumbled across them. I'm more for pooling information in a few places rather than spreading it with a knife 1cm thick since constantly checking these is a sure job for a lifetime. However, if you want to quickly seek information from the RCE community, I dare say they have a use, the quality of response remains quite variable. AntiCrack.de Message
Board :- Many forums with experienced moderators, one of
the best places for your crypto queries (roy/Thigo). |
Contacting Me (E-Mail / IRC) & SubmissionsI can be contacted using my longstanding e-mail at CrackZ__(at)hotmail(point)com (note the 2 underscores), alternatively you can try ICQ (#131635002, note that I don't use ICQ very much at all). I welcome any comments, key generator sources, information, scene news, Shania Twain concert tickets (I should also add that I've now seen Shania live in Hyde Park), suggestions & tutorial submissions (even the 404s which some day never I may fix). Before sending ANY e-mail, please take the time to read my FAQ, else I definitely won't answer. Please do NOT send me cracking requests or lists of software you want (even if you see them featured on my site), such requests will almost certainly be deleted and ignored. When I have some free time I can often be found on IRC (nick CrackZ or ZEN-<some_suffix>), you could also visit #cracking4newbies on EFNet where I idle (far too much). |

| No site would be complete without the obligatory list of phoney e-mail addresses which should (we hope) annoy the e-mail address gathering spiders. On your way out you may care to read my personal greetings and some of the very positive feedback I've received whilst running this site, you might also like to read one of my favourite poems Footprints which often provides me with the inspiration I need to continue. |
