I wanted to make this post for a long time, and mostly I want to request a training course from King R2R or Knight VR or Major Generals BUBBiX, BTCR, r4e , vkDanilov.
MORiA, Audiowarez, bobdule, TEAM HCiSO (did I do a good visualization?)

Is it possible for you dear ones to teach regular users here from the basic to professional level by the same publishers (DECiBELLE, Hidera) or with your own name?

 

Ghidra and IDA pro are two decompilers I have used in the past. If you are interested in learning how to crack, these are the tools you should be looking at.

There are a few courses already available on the web for these tools. You’ll need to understand your processor architecture and OpCode a bit first though

 

Im also interested i wanna crack ilok 3 plugins that team r2r doesnt want to release

 

You need a degree in computer science from Harvard University. Apply to the university and study for a few years. After completing your studies, you can do an internship with Team R2R and if you prove yourself, you will get a trial job with Team R2R.

I wish you the best of luck in your further education.

Kind regards, Hu-mor

 

Something tells me that if R2R cant do it, that means there is no chance in hell you would ever get remotely close to it..

 

it's sad this generation of YouTube tutorials
that offers nothing in exchange
just for the sake of being a regular user.
the answer will probably be: but who cares.
i think this approach doesn't offer a realistic view of things.
because we're not in star wars.


and you forget our friend TCD

Step 1:

Learn the basics of machine code for your hardware platform (x86_64, ARM, what have you), learn the C calling convention for your operating system. Figure out the executable format for your software platform (PE or ELF). Read up on the basics of encryption/decryption, and a bit more on applied and practical cryptography.

That should keep you busy for a couple of months (or years).

Step 2:

Use some sort of decompiling tool to figure out program flow. Hook up a debugger to inspect the software in flight.

Step 3:

Find where it bugs out due to protection, circumvent that step.

Step 4.

***

Step 5.

PROFIT!

...

Actually Step 5 is: you messed up step 3, go back.

 

@bobdule Mmm...maybe if I can crack that puzzle... I can crack Anything.

 

Take comfort @Aileron, because only 0,00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the human species on this planet are even mentally capable of cracking iLOK.

 

I heard soon team R2R will release a Cracking with the Masters series live from Elon Musk Mars colony .

 

Ähm, no - I don't think so. Not if you stay average
Even software that is only secured by a serial cannot be cracked by the average user.
The person who programmed the protection has already put in a lot of effort to prevent this. So you would have to be at least as good as him to crack a program.
To crack more complex mechanisms, years of experience are required to find out where the dev has set up small traps. To pool this experience, crackers like to work in teams I suppose.

btw
("crack a software or plugin Tutorial") there is no real difference between a software and a plugin when it comes to cracking. Plugins are .DLLs (a kind of encapsulated collection of functions) that are used by the host app. Both are softwares.

I've already cracked part of that series. I made a post on it a while ago...

These are all related to synthesis. Each machine has different pathways, different output. Some levitate. Some are cutting machines... I'm starting to think some even grow plants (like a grow room - harvesting using electromagnetic sound)... The hieroglyphs probably changed into these letters over time, but originally the describe the tech inside pyramids... Seems to match in what cases I've already decoded

Twisted flax is interesting. Its how they made the granite vases if you're aware of those, according to the cartouches.

 

Related question: how do virus scanners immediately identify a Keygen or similar exes? How do they recognize that it's this, even though it is just a small Programm that calculates a code?

 

Heuristics.

 

Cracking With The Masters sent me

 

There are plenty of materials on the net on this topic. I don't know about iLok but you can find enough info about cracking custom protections and such systems as VMProtect. There are plenty info on Youtube. More academic info for example here:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=ru&as_sdt=0,5&q=reverse+engineering&btnG=
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=ru&as_sdt=0,5&q=deobfuscation&btnG=

Look at this article about VMProtest and think twice whether you want to go deeper:
https://blog.back.engineering/17/05/2021/

Yes, this a tutorial you are searching for. It looks like this.

 

You forgot AudioUtopia and their Protools crack. No doubt R2R are king and reign our hearts though.

 

what you want to do, is download the demo of the software you want to crack. open it up, and while the gui is on your screen, take a hammer or other similar tool, and hit the screen until it cracks.

 

dunno whats funny about or why makin fun about somebody who want to learn about , also it might be the real future novice in this realm will know where to start , anyways .
...but hell when a almost certified troll comes and says he cant plug a few cables from mixer to interface and sets baits about crystal clear warm sound from a 80 bucks unit without any expensive dedicated ad/da unit or DAW troll baits , this one gets rolled out the red carped .

 

Maybe because the opening title is a bit silly: Where to find a cracking tutorial?

Just feels like one of the many posts where someone thinks something is super trivial and just a bunch of "common sense" and likely won't accept that they need to put in the work, instead of looking for shortcuts that compress a multiyear endeavour into a single 7 minute YouTube tutsi between sandwiches on lunch break.
