If buying is not owning cracking isn't stealing

Its cool that companies can make it increasingly difficult to crack a software, but they can never stop it, even if you had to take the program apart and construct back without piracy checks, like a theseus ship

[BakrxKiNG]

bro rickrolled and thought we wouldnt notice

Digital piracy/cracking is *NEVER* theft, it is just violation of copyright laws.

I used to be in a piracy cracking group in the late 90s. You're missing a few, and that's hardware based activation, like Windows where the serial is hard-tied to basicaly a GUID which is generated with almost a spefific instruction from Intel Secure Key for Windows and the secure enclave on Mac. Many games used this back then like SecuROM which checked physical aspects of the disk against known prime values which are hard to fake, however drive emulation quickly became a thing to counter this protection. Then there's virtualization protection like VMProtect, where the assembly is obfuscated in memory until absolutely necessary, usually a trampoline is placed at the head of the function to enter the VM. Cracking VMProtect applications is an exercise in masochism, but with the right tools and enough dedication it can be done.

I live in China, and here about 90% of people use hacked versions of windows, office, and adobe. I personally use them as well, because they are just so easy and they are free.

Once again, absolutely underrated. I learned more from this video than the past week at school.

It's pretty interesting, but I have to be pedantic and mention that neither c# nor java are precompiled into assembly code.

Reverse engineering c# and java code would happen in Intermediate Language or Bytecode respectively, which are not architecture specific.

[AAAAAAA-nhjv]

this was great, id love to see you do a vid on denuvo specifically

[arghyaprotimhalder]

Photoshop is morally correct to always pirate.

[enriqueisaacs]

If you're going to make a monopoly of software where the average person would really need that software to experience having a PC, and then jack up the prices to where the average person cant really have a nice experience - then you're software deserves to be Luffy'd

[jean-naymar]

You forgot the step where they (probably, maybe) add a modified dll that downloads a malicious payload from their servers :)

[bang]

meanwhile us:
"If you enjoy this software, BUY IT OR REGRET IT"

[solasauto]

Just to clearify, we do not use part of the original software when we make a keygen. We debug and figure out how it is calculated and write our own.

[Biaju_Project]

Remember kids, pirating adobe product is always morally correct

Technically Java and C# compile to byte code rather than machine code.
Machine code is what can be directly run by your CPU.
Byte code is something that has to be run by a custom program.

Wow this video is soo well made. I clicked and watched this video thinking this is a video from a larger channel. You deserve recognition.

[EVILBUNNY]

If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing

Hi there! Just letting you know, I think your content was stolen by the channel CyberFlow. I found your video while trying to find an alternative to his video, as it had an AI voice and I like to listen to humans, but from the little parts of his video I did watch, it was basically identical to yours! I hope you're able to take action against them, and nice video I enjoyed learning about cracking softwares. :)
