+ORC: A real university

Greetings, new and old friends, I owe you some explanations. And I have some work for you. I'll tell you a (minor) secret: when I started publishing my tutorial on Usenet, back in 1995, I did not know exactly where I would have landed. My idea, to put it simply, was to take advantage of the might of Internet in terms of anonymity, international dimension, easy access and "just in time" modifiability, in order to spread a very simple message using (as major vector) software cracking... this I deemed necessary coz verba movent, exempla trahunt. My message was threefold: - knowledge should from now on be free, we should not allow any bar...

+ORC: Reality Cracking - Maggots and fags

published by +ORC - 27 January 1997

fravia, hope you'll get some more essays on what you call 'reality cracking' on your most beautiful site, here are some short notes of mine, I'll prepare something better as soon as I have more time. CIGARETTES As anybody with a couple of eyes and a still working brain can easily notice, few things are more reality aliens that cigarettes commercials... I mean: all advertisement and commercials that you are bombarded with are of course totally reality alien, but cigarettes commercials beat the rest of the lot in spades. Since the fags-producers are on (a well deserved) defensive, their generously founded self-promoting propaganda is partic...

+ORC modern zen: The Bus Conductor and The Mineral Water

published by +ORC - 21 August 1997

Dear fravia+, dear +gthorne, dear +sync, Ok, here I am, back from a very long (and interesting) journey... and I'm very happy with what I see (I was almost netless): the cracking landscape has changed! The quality (and the quantity) of the essays that you have made and published is astonishing... I have myself never received so much input in my life! Your "unit" is the only one that survived from the 1996 "levy", and I'm happy to say that you went beyond all my expectations. So I'm happy :=) Very happy :=D I would say that, should I ever have had a role as cracking teacher, this role is over now, thanks god. You three (and many of the ne...

+ORC: Supermarket enslavement techniques

published by +ORC - 13 March 1997

Ok, Fravia convinced me to publish separate without interpolating all this in my tut, coz it would have been too heavy, even if in my opinion it is part of cracking and he may be wrong, coz nobody will read my crap if I don't mix it with software cracking info, coz people do not want to learn to be free, and to free them we have sadly to "circumvent" them with more or less the same techniques that our enemies use to enslave them :=) Let's crack the very temples of the enemies of the humanity and poetry, the prisons where we are forced to buy and consume... let's show all idiots the WHIPS that are used to enslave them... as always light co...

+ORC (Old Red Cracker)

ORC how to crack lessons

Old Red Cracker (abbreviated +ORC) is the pseudonym for a hacker that wrote the very famous +ORC "how to crack" lessons. Today his identity is still a mystery and many different hypotheses have been made. One rumour is that +ORC was a Professor, expert an Mathematic, cracking against commercialistic trends. Another theory suggests he was simply an exchange student who translated some cracking notes and then posted them on Usenet and around the web. He used an526164@anon.penet.fi as a contact e-mail. The anon.penet.fi domain was an anonymous re-mailer service that shut-down in late 1996. It is unknown which e-mail address was connected to ...

[WEB TRENDS] It's really amazing: I began this tutorial in february 1996... the year is not yet finished but many things have already changed, and how! First of all the Web proves to be even more significant that I would ever have thought: it's -de facto- an ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT and ANTI-CONSUME "permanent" tool... more than that: it's an EVOLVING...

Later, when you'll crack on your own, try to recognize the many routines that fiddle with input BEFORE the relevant (real protection) one. In this case, for instance, a routine checks the correctness of the numbe...

ORC how to crack lessons

Lesson C.1, Cracking as an art: Barcodes and Instant access I LESSON C (1) - How to crack, Cracking as an art [BARCODES] [INSTANT ACCESS] [BARCODES] First of all, let me stress the importance of cracking in our everyday life. Cracking it's not just about software, it's about information, about all patterns of life. To crack is to refuse to be controlled and used by others, to crack is to be free. But you must also be yourself free from petty conventions in order to crack properly. You must learn to discerne cracking possibilities all around yourself, and believe me, the development of this ghastly society brings every day new codes, prot...

Lesson A.1, Advanced cracking (Internet-Unix) -------------> INTERNET CRACKING: FIREWALLS With each new company that connects to the "Information Superhighway" new frontiers are created for crackers to explore. Site administrators (Siteads) have implemented various security measures to protect their internal networks. One of these is xinetd, covered later. A more general solution is to construct a guarded gateway, called a [Firewall], that sits between a site's internal network and the wild and woolly Internet where we roam. In fact only one third of all Internet connected machines are already behind firewalls. Most information ser...

+ORC Cracking Lesson 9.4: How to Wincrack, Hands on, Nagscreens (dead listing)

ORC how to crack lessons

Lesson 9.4, How to Wincrack, Hands on, Nagscreens (dead listing) Part II *********** +HCU material FEBRUARY 1997 LECTIO IN FIERI *********** First of all I'll give you a fundamental advice: don't stroll too much inside the dark codewoods without taking a due amount of notes: our paths are narrow, and wind in and out among codetrunks. Everything may seem 'obvious' to you when you are continuously cracking a given target, but after a break, or having cracked something else, you'll notice, as soon as you begin working anew on the original target, that many 'obvious' things are not so evident any more, and that you'll probably have to follow...

ORC how to crack lessons

Lesson 9.3, How to Wincrack, Hands on, Nagscreens (dead listing) Nagscreens galore (B): The 'Dead listing' approach In this lesson I'll teach you another cracking technique known as "dead listing" approach, in opposition to the "live" cracking (through Softice/Winice) that we have used (and we'll use) most of the time. Since this approach requires a good Hexeditor and a good disassembler (and a good Wordprocessor), it suits us well to begin the 'hands on' part cracking what we need: a good Hexeditor. I'll crack here the nagscreens out of Hexworkshop, Version 2.10 (32 bit version). A good and relatively quick (for Windoze's standards)...

Lesson 9.2, How to Wincrack, Hands on, Nagscreens (psp) LESSON 9 (2) - How to Wincrack, Hands on Nagscreens galore: The Paint Shop Pro crack (part A) Merry Xmas. We'll learn, beginning with this lesson, how to eliminate the "nagscreens", i.e. the protection and or annoying schemes that many commercial and shareware windows programs use in order to annoy us and push lusers to buy them. In order to understand (simple) nag screen deprotection we'll crack following different approaches Paint Shop Pro, the de facto standard used to day for graphic manipulation. It's a good choice, I believe, because - it's a very widespread application: you'l...

+ORC Cracking Lesson 9.1: How to Wincrack, Hands on (1)

ORC how to crack lessons

THE [DATA_CONSTRAINT] TRICK - [WINFORMANT 4] I have chosen an older windows application for Win 3.1. (WIN4MANT.EXE, 562271 bytes, Version 1.10, by Joseph B. Albanese; you'll find it searching the web with the usual tools, see how to do it at the end of this lesson), in order to show you how to use a nice little trick, at times really useful in cracking password protected programs: [data_constraint]. Inside almost all protection routines, as you have already learned, there is a moment when on the stack the ECHO of the real, "correct" passnumber or password appears. The location of this ECHO varies, but most of the time it'll be in...
