=====================================
- Introduction -         
=====================================

Hello Crackers!!!

In this tutorial we shall crack Lake Clear Animato 1.0c and get
a valid serial that match our name!


=====================================
- The Protection -         
=====================================

Lake Clear Animato 1.0c requires a serialnumber to be registered,
The shareware version of Lake Clear Animato 1.0c is fully functional
but after 30-days you will not be able to save to .GIF files.
Also, until registered, all .GIF files will contain a comment stating
it was created by this program.

And that can be damn annoying sometimes!!


=====================================
- Cracking The Program -         
=====================================

Lets start cracking!!

Start "Lake Clear Animato 1.0c"
A nagscreen will appear and you have various options to choose from:

1. Purchase
2. Register
3. Run Anmimato
4. Exit

Press "Register" fill in some info in the boxes.

I typed:
Registration User: -=Metal=-
Registration Code: 666666666

Well you dont have to enter the same info as me!
nevermind...lets continue..

After you typed the info in the boxes press CTRL+D SoftICE pops-up
Type Bpx Hmemepy then F5.

Back in the program...now press OK..SoftICE pops-up again!
Now press F12 until you come to this adress:

=========================START CODE=========================

:004933CD 8D55F0                  lea edx, dword ptr [ebp-10]
:004933D0 8B45F8                  mov eax, dword ptr [ebp-08]
:004933D3 E84841F7FF              call 00407520
:004933D8 8B55F0                  mov edx, dword ptr [ebp-10]
:004933DB 8D45F8                  lea eax, dword ptr [ebp-08]
:004933DE E89D06F7FF              call 00403A80
:004933E3 8B45FC                  mov eax, dword ptr [ebp-04]
:004933E6 8B55F8                  mov edx, dword ptr [ebp-08]
:004933E9 E88609F7FF              call 00403D74  <------------- looks cool :-)
:004933EE 0F859C000000            jne 00493490
:004933F4 A134584A00              mov eax, dword ptr [004A5834]
:004933F9 8B00                    mov eax, dword ptr [eax]
:004933FB 8B9088040000            mov edx, dword ptr [eax+00000488]
:00493401 8D45F0                  lea eax, dword ptr [ebp-10]

==========================END CODE===========================

See the call at :004933E9 E88609F7FF
Trace down to it and type d eax
You can now see the code that begins with ATM-

Remember that it was written that the code should start with ANM-
in the Registration Window.

Well thats it!!

My Serial and name was:

Registration User: -=Metal=-
Registration Code: ANM-5732920

Hope it worked for you!!

See ya!
