while installing some cracked softwares, i found that even on the installation window, it shows "cracked by.... " etc, so i was wondering if these are the original developers who crack applications, because you need to have code of an app in order to show your branding in installation windows.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks

1- they can create a new installer for the cracked software.
2- they change the texts & images of installer code.

to crack a software the most popular tool is ida pro. you can debug and find out when a software checks your license code and you can pass it.

I believe that cracked versions of software have completely new setup executable files. So that installer isn’t the same one people who paid for the program get. Honestly, I admire people who do software cracking so much, I bet that takes some real skills.

Learn assembly code. Use ida pro. Then learn how to interpret assembly from the compiled language it was built in. Takes a long time to learn those skills.

Disassembly. Basically you have to figure out what the program is doing from the binary, then change it.

The first step is to learn the assembly language for the platform you are interested in. And you have to become very good at it, because release build software tend to be highly optimized, so the assembly will be very unintuitive to read.

It will probably take at least a few months of intense studying. It's not something you can learn in an afternoon.

I would recommend spending your time on more useful things unless you are interested in joining the criminal world.
