I hope this isn't in the wrong forum however it probably is, I just wasn't sure where else to go as this is a bit of a specialist topic.
I have a friend who has a crack that automatically starts playing music when the exe is run. Unfortunately due to a proxy at his work this crack isn't fully functional for him whilst he's at work. The crack works however he has to run it each time he wants to run the program the crack is for.
My friends problem is he has to run the crack at work many times a day, and each time he does so it plays an audio track which he finds very annoying. As impressive as it is, it interrupts his usual music. He's asked me if there's any way I can prevent the crack from playing the music when it's run. I've explained to him that registering the software legitimately or finding a different crack would be the best way to go however he is pretty insistent that neither of these are possible options.
The only way I can think of is opening the exe in an ASM editor and playing around until I get the desired result of stopping the music whilst keeping the crack functional. Unfortunately I don't have a massive amount of experience with ASM nor do I have any experience in this particular type of coding which, correct me if i'm wrong, is pretty specialist. (Most likely code generated music designed purely to be showy, no?)
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to stop the exe playing music on execution or what I'd be looking for in the ASM I'd be very grateful. Although in all honesty I'm not really expecting that there is much advice anyone can give me to help, I figure it's worth a shot at asking. Please no flames, I have a bit of coding experience, and a tiny bit of ASM experience but i'm sure nothing like the amount of many of you scene.org users.[Post edited by elwon20 on Thursday 24 February 2011 - 21:58] |
