This one is another tutorial that i’ve written for Krobar’s website and that you can find here. I believe that it has some good value, especially if you are into reverse engineering cd protections.
More than 6-7 years ago, i’ve written a small tutorial for the great and well known Krobar’s website that featured thousands of reverse engineering tutorials at the time. This essay was about diffing, a technique that, among other things, can be used to make cheats for games. Unluckily, in today’s games there is a high chance that this one will not work, due to serialization, encryption or compression.
Reverse Engineering has actually been the main reason why i first began learning more about computers. The days when i would go about opening up hiew editor in order to change that little 74 opcode to 90 seem hilarious at the time of writing this text, but i can understand all those people who just begin learning more about software cracking.
