Super Simple Hacking

Before you start this tutorial you must have basic knowledge of Assembler language (ASM) and preferably some programming knowledge. This will make it much easier to understand. In case you never learned any ASM, click here to download an ASM tutorial. Come back after you have a solid understanding of ASM, or I guarantee you will have a hard time understanding the next tutorials.

For this tutorial, you will need a few tools and programs.
  -Ollydbg: This is a debugger. Debuggers let you "debug" programs in real time. Using a debugger, we can see how a program works, line by line. Download Ollydbg on its website or click here to download(comes with W32DASM).

  -W32DASM is a program that decompiles programs into ASM code. You can use it to search for strings and memory address(es). You will not need it for this particular tutorial, but you will need it for upcoming tutorials.

 -Crackmes - These are simple programs made to test you cracking ability. The ones I have included are very basic and do not contain any protection. Download.

Now you may be wondering,"Why am I cracking Crackme's, I was here to learn to crack real programs!" The reason is that actual programs are probably beyond your scope. We will first cover simple protection methods before you move to more advanced stuff. It is more important to get a firm hold on the basics before you try to do the hard stuff.

Sorry, for the poor video quality, the blogger video upload sucks. I will probably be using a different video method next time. In the meantime, you can either watch the below, or download the high quality original version here.Thank you for your cooperation.
