here is a link to my latest crackme, again written in Visual Basic 6 using a custom protector i've written specialized for any VB6 application.

Protected.rar

The goal is simple... get the good boy message by entering the correct serial...

A note of warning, if u manage to find a valid serial do NOT post or share it anywhere as it will stop working if a share is detected. Simply PM me here or at ARTeam with the serial you've found/made and i will verify

A couple things to note:

Avira detects it but it's not a virus... contains simply 3 calls to a msgbox and the call to the verification routine

and must be allowed thru your firewall for the server check

To further show that it's not viral, here's the NoVirusThanks Scan:

I assure you Avira is a false positive, probably due to the server check and reading from itself... but i swear nothing bad

Although Patches would be interesting to see, i'm more curious about keygenning it. Emulations of the good boy message are clearly not allowed. Best of luck to anyone interested.

Note: The server should always be up.. if you are getting a message stating otherwise, please make sure the application is allowed thru your firewall.
