That maybe the case, but according to my source they appear to be existing cracks with the headers realigned and resources changed to reflect version numbers, making them FAKE!

Check the reloaded v1.0 crack for Commandos Strike Force, and the Carbon 1.2 crack in LordPE. Look at the Section Table and notice how the Voffset and Vsize are IDENTICAL! Also note there are the same number of sections and the last section in the Carbon crack has been renamed to .cre and in the Reloaded crack it's .rld! Now if you dump those two sections to disk and hex compare them they are identical except for an extra 143 bytes of zeros padded onto the .cre section, probably due to realigning of the section.

Also, if you compare the second data section you'll find that 1.00 in the reloaded crack has changed to 1.20 in the Carbon crack!

Now things get a little more interesting if you dump the _rwcseg section and compare them, guess who's name appears in the Carbon crack, yup it's phil8900!!!

Now WHY is YOUR name in a Carbon crack?
