Im not an expert on this, but as far as i know decrypting and rebuilding the .exes manually is a lot of work and takes up huge amounts of time which most people just dont have.

Which is why you pool resources. Yes, it may take hundreds of thousands of man-hours to decrypt and rebuild all games. Therefore, if you don't wish to wait on one man to do it, you throw hundreds of thousands of men at the job.

However, if you want to learn how to do that stuff start with the easiest of protections, cd checks, and work your way up through the older commercial protections (in case you havent done that already). I know there are tutorials out there for them. You will most likely meet people with knowledge you are looking for on the way.

The older tutorials are no longer really effective because the ones i have seen don't detail how to hide debuggers from the newer protections. The basic principle remains the same, but some of the techniques need to be updated.

So, would anyone like to share how to hide a debugger from securom and safedisc protected executables? Send me a private message if you don't want to post it.

Well, thats a possibility, but i was thinking of a worst case scenario when writing my post.

So was I. The worst case scenario is you rebuy the game. However, it will be much more likely that you can just obtain the deprotected file or files you need from the Internet if more people knew how to create them.
