You used the process name in a string as part of an anti-debugging attempt?

Password: F8lXZ-UG9LT-K1

Anti-Ollydbg and Anti-CE trick didn't hasten me at all, just edit the string, problem solved.

BUT a better method would be;

Code:
00451859   . C41C4500       DD CrackMe_.00451CC4
0045185D   . 0A             DB 0A
0045185E   . 4B 6C 50 72 63>ASCII "KlPrcTimer"


One can easily deduce that KlPrcTimer is the Timer that continually checks to see if the two programs are open. The code related to that particular procedure, is located above the command label, in this case "CrackMe_.00451CC4"

Goto this address, you will see;

Code:
00451CC4   . B8 E41C4500    MOV EAX,CrackMe_.00451CE4                ;  ASCII "CheatEngine.exe"
00451CC9   . E8 3AFCFFFF    CALL CrackMe_.00451908
00451CCE   . B8 FC1C4500    MOV EAX,CrackMe_.00451CFC                ;  ASCII "ollydbg.exe"
00451CD3   . E8 30FCFFFF    CALL CrackMe_.00451908
00451CD8   . C3             RETN


We want to completely skip those string params and calls, and jump directly to the "RETN" at 00451CD8. We could either 1) Insert a 'JMP 00451CD8" at the start of this little snippet (ie. at 00451CC4) or 2) where it had ;

Code:
00451859   . C41C4500       DD CrackMe_.00451CC4
0045185D   . 0A             DB 0A
0045185E   . 4B 6C 50 72 63>ASCII "KlPrcTimer"


Change;

Code:
00451859   . C41C4500       DD CrackMe_.00451CC4

TO
Code:
00451859   . C41C4500       DD CrackMe_.00451CD8
.

Protection moved.

An alternative approach requires absolutely no coding or cracking knowledge at all.

Open up the crackme_.exe in Reshack. Goto RCDATA > TCRKFRM. Scroll down to;

Code:
object KlPrc: TTimer
    Interval = 300
    OnTimer = KlPrcTimer
  end


Change the interval from 300 to 9999999, interval is sufficiently large to render the timer useless.

I wonder how can you have a valid code for random-generated password? Rolling Eyes

crackmes are meant to simulate the real-world application, where user can register the application with your supplied code. As such, this "creativity" does not apply here.

I find it interesting that everyone had to do all that stuff. I mean its not like it was super big I mean if you went back to olly (or ce if you prefer it) and searched for text strings. You would find all of the strings for the password.

Edit:

By suggest, my sorta-maybe-idk crackme is now going to be released here. You know what to do. If you guys can't do it, I will tell how.
