Your welcome. ;)

which assembly code should i learn and also where could i find beginner info on this.

total noob still green behind the ears

ASM is ASM, pretty much alot of tutorials and books on the subject.

And File Headers (IAT's and PE's and the likes - which you will have to learn about also)

dude can u check those links? couse i got the first one working but anything on that site i get blank link. and also the think " you should start with" link also does not work!

is it me or?

From last year those links, good chance they arent about anymore.

@mods/admins/people like them
sorry for bumping such an old thread but I figured that instead of creating a new one I would simply resurrect this one as it has the subject and a few links already.

Running a google search about thamedia 1.0.0.5 protection used for Prey (yes it is, if you don't believe me check the retail when it comes avaible for you, some people have the retail already).

Well however, I ran across this site:
http://releases.accessroot.com/

It has tutorials on cracking, unwrappers for protections (one is for Safedisc v4.6!!!), information about different protections, how to create loaders, manually unpacking protected files and more. Atleast I found it interesting.

If you rather would've wanted me to create a new thread, please tell me and I'll probably do that or update the sticky about cracking.

Have fun everyone, it should prove an interesting read for most people... :)

ARTeam has some good stuff, shame the UnSafedisc 4.6 prog is a POS :)

Exetools is also good for Themida info too ;)

Yeah I saw exetools too but I didn't include it since it was kinda mixed...

So the 4.6 is POS? Sad to hear... :(

yup safedisc one is crap, done in the wrong way.. decrypting the pfe file etc... bleh, and other stuff missing

Anyone would like to write up a short essay, with links to actual tutorials, that can be added to the FAQ? ;)

woow
 

I am at 19..Do oyu think is it too late to start?

I am not so noob..At least I know waht is jmp if equal jmp if not equal...I know the groups...I have the Brain I think...

Its never too early or to late too start ;)

the links dont work

what part of 'those links were a year old' did you not understand?
as for access root, try http://www.accessroot.com
you can get to the forums too from there...

haha i checked the thread from the beginning, damn these links are outdated.
...yeh yeh old times ;)
