A crackme (often abbreviated by cm) is a small program designed to test a programmers reverse engineering skills.

They are programmed by other reversers to have a legal way to "crack" software.

Crackmes, Reversemes and Keygenmes have similar protection schemes and algorithms to those found in commercial protections. Also some crackmes are even harder than their commercial counterparts.

A Crackme is in which people try to find a password which is used to encrypt a program. A CrackMe section can be found in CEF.

That can be a fish me as well.

A good crack me example would be an expired application giving a message as soon as it is run and when you click OK it closes.
You would have to crack this application by possible OEP.


But basic explanation of what it is, pretty much home made applications that imitate software protection methods. They are for learning purposes.

Wow. Thanks for explanation too, Lab. I now have a clearer definition of a Crack Me. Thanks again.
