Back in 1978 I took a class in programming BASIC.
From that time forward I understood that programming and/or reverse engineering are for much smarter folks than me.
Hell, I'll stick to playing the guitar and let the good folks at R2R take care of business.

 

No, I didn't mean that.
That would be too easy & almost impossible since developers always change something in their codes.
But of course it's quite possible that some Teams use *special tools* in combination with manual work.

 

here an easy start,

you want to hack cubase for example?

find cubase.exe in your folder reverse file name to esabuc.exe

open file with notepad and reverse each symbols one by one until it works properly, remember to debug otherwise bad comments are guaranteed.

 

and once your cracked Xubase is working, send it to me, because you can't release anything without it first going through me.

 

The real problem (pain) for both application (exe) or plugin/library (such dll) is ANTI-DEBUGGER implementations... R2R is using this technique in their keygens!
