Introduction

This document is for covering the basics of software cracking.

Why crack software?

I personaly want to crack software because i enjoy the challenge also it feels quite
nice making a serial number for something or removing a nag screen.
Most cracking tutorials say stuff like, this is only for educational purposes and to an
extent i would say this is right but software is extremly expensive and cracked software
is distributed so easily accross the internet that its far to easy to just search for a crack
on google or use a p2p network.

What needs cracking?

• Limited functionality (cant save/print because the menu item is greyed out)
• Nag screen (asking to be registered every time its loaded for example)
• Serial number (finding a serial number or creating a keygen)
• Dongles (Autocad for example needs a dongle, an electronic key that will be plugged into the back of the pc)
  Above i have listed the most common things to fix, there are others date/time locks etc.
