A hardware ID has one of the following generic formats: ID> This is the most common format for individual PnP devices reported to the Plug and Play (PnP) manager by a single enumerator. How to find hardware id use for James Cameron'avatar the game keygen.

Yes I have read the FAQ (maybe I could of been a bit more specific) I am using SI with frogice to stop SI being detected. I am geting to the password screen and using hmemcpy as a breakpoint to gain access into the code.

I can usually crack this type of protection by looking through the code for were the password you entered is compared to the actual password (serial fishing) but I have never come accross the protection were the password is locked to your computer using hardware ID. Also can the programmer use the password in binary format so it will just display meanless letters were you are trying to display the memory location output.

Sorry for any misunderstanding WonderWoman. I have come across this type of program before and its a royal pain. Most likely though all you have to do is patch one jump where it does the compare unless of course it stores other information like what kind of user you are etc. Often patching in these cases would require more work than its worth. I would definetly go for a keygen. You can get the hardware ID I imagine from the registry so just input that into the keygen and have it generate valid keys. The algorithm should not be hard to find.

Disassemble it and see if IDA gives you library functions that can make life much easier. Hiya, Without knowing the name of your target and without benefit of any code, it is difficult to give.specific. advice. With that said, have you considered running an API monitor? Its very probable that the prog is using a standard windows API to obtain the hardware specific info (ie. Like GetvolumeinformationA which Esther suggested).

You should be able to pick out suspicous function calls from your log and then you can look them up in your API reference. Alternatively, you could study the list of imports from your disassembly, but IMO the real-time API log will give you less 'noise' to sift through in looking for your function. If you need more specific help, I'm afraid you'll have to provide more specifics about what you've tried, some code where you think the serial is calculated.ect.

Cheers, Clandestiny. I'm sure you don't think of the HDs MBR, else you must be mistaken. No serial number is stored in the MBR, only the partition boot sector loader. Hello cyberheg!

Only the P3 had a serial number. It was always activated and if you didn't like it you had to run an Intel program every time you restarted your computer to disable reading the serial until the next reboot. Some weeks after the P3 was out the first magazines found ways to enable the serial again without rebooting. Since the endusers weren't very happy that they were 'unique' users, Intel decided to drop the CPUs with serial number again. Hello, Thought I might give some general advice. I cracked a program that uses the same type of scheme (i.e. Hardware based; program Legato Networker Solaris/Windows if your wondering.) What I found there was that it was really annoying (read hard) tracing around the code to find the serial routine (it uses like twenty different exe's; and all do specific stuff.

(talk about unix prog. Port ) and it has multiple codes. Anyhow in the end the easiest way to crack it was by simply cracking the compare routine. However I still go back to that target now and again to see if I can make a keygen for it.

An idea would be to find the DLL it uses to check the serial and (if possible. Speculating here) write a 'custom' keygen which utilizes their own DLL to create a valid serial. Another approach is to find the part which generates the hostid and simply make it the same as your other machine either by: a.) modifying the generation routine b.) having it not generate but set it rather. Well as I am myself a newbie this is all the advice I can give.

Hope it maybe gave you some ideas of how to attack it. I know exactly what you mean checksum I spent 12hrs yesterday searching through the code for the right compare and I am still yet to find it. I used the getwindowtexta breakpoint and searched high and low for the correct compare statement.

Is it possible as I know the serial is 11 sets of 4 number (12c4-1221.) that the serial number will not show up as it is stored in hex. I also think that each set of 4 numbers are compared seperatly and there is eleven of them.

I think I am a bit out of my depth with this program as I do not have a great deal of experience, I have cracked simple serial protection but his is another level. I do know it uses the getvolumeinformationa to get the hardware ID, but I have got no chance of patching the hardware ID.

I will check to see if it uses the partition ID it may well do. The program is called winserver but it is not avaiable to download off the internet, it is not commercially available Thanks everyone for your posts, wonderwoman. Bottom line is the hardware ID you are seeing could be any number of things. Look at the one Microsoft makes!

Hashes together all kinds of things to try to make it as unique as it can. The P3 serial might or might not be in there. It could check if the P3 serial is a available if it isnt it stores one value and if it is it stores the actual serial value hashed etc. Theres infinite possibilities of what could have been done. You need to use API spies and see if theres any hardware function or special CPU instructions CPUID for one being executed.

Chances are everything is done in one routine. Hi wonderwoman, as promised I'm attaching here the doc. It's incredible how much it reminds me of some old 'dongles' (the boasting I mean): 'Impossible to crack', 'the ultimate anti-pirating gizmo', 'it would take 10,000,000 years to find the correct password'. That's the pdf. And if you visit their page you have there some more info PLUS a complete explanation of how they hacked Windows XP hardware-checking routine. Hope it helps.

(Now, how about a date?) EDITHi wonderwoman, the.pdf was too big to download (it's 140.985 bytes long), so I just copyed the first page, and let you search for it.

Ohio nursing homes' low staffing called a 'crisis,' puts residents at risk For residents of many nursing homes in Ohio, low staffing levels mean increased risk of falls, developing bedsores and urinary tract infections, and failure to obtain necessary treatment in emergencies, according to state records and published reports. CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Plain Dealer explores the quality of care in Ohio nursing homes. We looked at the federal government's statistical measure for rating care facilities, the importance of staffing and the millions of dollars in fines levied against nursing homes.

We also offer consumers tips in finding a quality nursing home. It could be one of the most important decisions a family member makes. The decision is made even more difficult because of the long waiting lists at some of the best facilities. For those not on Medicaid, the out-of-pocket cost could reach $6,000 to $8,000 a month. Scroll down to follow our continuing coverage of this important issue.

The 2011 Ohio budget included a little-known concession between lawmakers and the nursing home lobby. Legislators cut $360 million in Medicaid to nursing homes.

At the same time, they reduced the minimum staffing standards at nursing homes, a move that has angered advocates. Top-rated nursing homes in Ohio's 88 counties Using updated data released in April, The Plain Dealer below lists all of Ohio's above-average rated nursing homes as determined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
