Well, if you have ever used premium software, you might know that serial 
keys or key codes are mainly required during the installation. Sometimes, 
the Serial key might be necessary after using a program for a certain 
period.
How to crack software registration key

Certain types of software available on the web let you find serial keys of 
any software. However, there are few risks associated with such software. 
Some critical finder software was filled with malicious script, whereas 
others were filled with adware and viruses.

The cracked version removes the activation process. This way, you will no 
longer be asked to enter the activation key to activate the software. 
However, Cracked Software was also filled with viruses and malware.

Even if you are only writing a paper for academic purposes, it is difficult 
to make a Keygen. It is illegal to use a dissasembler unless you are 
completely familiar with the program you are using. You should not try this 
method if you are living in the United States because it is illegal under 
federal law. The primary function of a program like a key generator or 
registration number generator is to generate a key or registration number 
for a piece of software. This technology is used as a countermeasure to 
piracy. This is legal depending on the laws of the states, cities, and 
countries. This is an educational guide to help you learn, which is 
provided in the link below.

What is key generator? It is a cryptographic tool that generates *product 
keys* that provide unique alpha-numeric sequences that indicate whether a 
user has initiated an installation of the software and whether that user 
owns the license to the software.

The purpose of Crack is to crack Unix passwords with its program. The 
software was specifically designed to aid system administrators in 
identifying users whose passwords are too weak and vulnerable to be hacked 
by dictionary hackers.

A keygen file is a generator that creates a *unique key* to register 
software. It is used to create a serial number or activation code to unlock 
the software. Keygens are usually created by reverse engineering the 
software and understanding the algorithm that generates the key.

One of the most important things that we can do to keep people and 
computers safe is detect and identify viruses. Viruses are capable of 
spreading through networks because they can damage files and devices. An 
antivirus program uses signatures to detect viruses, which are unique to a 
specific type of virus. Because antivirus software is based on a specific 
signature, you may notice that it has a variant for the *keygen virus*. 
When the virus attempts to conceal itself as a harmless file, it creates 
this signature. Using antivirus software, it is possible to identify a 
virus that matches this signature. It is possible that the keygen virus is 
a forgery. A fake virus, for example, could be created in order to appear 
as genuine as possible. You could also be infected with the keygen virus, 
which was designed to trick antivirus software. Because different versions 
of the virus are detected, there is no easy way to determine why the 
malware is detected.

Computer programs create keys or CD keys that are used to activate a 
specific version of a software program. Software pirates frequently use a 
license key to install the program on their computers because the user has 
illegally copied the software and needs to have a key to install it. There 
is no way for Computer Hope to offer or distribute keygens.

A Unix system administrator would need crack to find a root user on the 
operating system. This program would look through the password file and try 
every possible combination before finding the right one.

A keygen virus, for example, is a malicious file that is used as the 
primary means of distributing its payload. A keygen is not always malicious 
in and of itself. A keygen, which can be used to activate software, 
contains a serial key. The act of generating counterfeit licenses or 
license codes in order to circumvent software licensing models is known as 
downloading a keygen app. A large number of malware, virus, and trojan 
horse authors publish anti-geny applications on the Internet, which infect 
the machines of users of *unauthorized keygen applications*.

In the most simplistic case, it is as maxwell5555 described. A registration 
code ("CD key") is sent to the user who enters it into the program or 
installer. The whole process can basically be done offline; the program 
itself locally determines that the code is valid or invalid.

Then we get into online registration. You still have some kind of code, but 
the program will phone home back to the server to determine whether the 
code is valid and usually unique. This stops basic key sharing, because the 
company knows if too many people from all over the world are all using the 
same key. Perhaps there is some kind of indentification involved using MAC 
address, too, with infinte registrations allowed on the same hardware but 
maybe a limited number on what appears to be a different computer.

Sometimes the program itself is partially/mostly encrypted and is only 
decrypted by the online registration step. Depending on how well this is 
obfuscated then it can be pretty difficult and time consuming to crack. 
Bioshock was a high-profile example of this - debuting with a brand new 
encryption/copy protection scheme that took around two weeks from release 
to be broken.

A common, simple way of implementing software activation/registration is to 
create a license algorithm. For example, lets say I have some shareware I 
want to protect and when someone gives me money, I send them a 4-byte 
registration code. I could build the algorithm into my shareware such that 
it validates the code the users enters. My algorithm would be as follows:

When the user enters a valid code, the software unlocks its regular 
functionality by setting a flag somewhere. Obviously, this is an extremely 
simplistic example. Registration validation algorithms can be as complex as 
you want.

License keys are the defacto-standard as an anti-piracy measure. To be 
honest, this strikes me as (in)Security Through Obscurity, although I 
really have no idea how license keys are generated. What is a good (secure) 
example of license key generation? What cryptographic primitive (if any) 
are they using? Is it a message digest? If so, what data would they be 
hashing? What methods do developers employ to make it difficult for 
crackers to build their own key generators? How are key generators made?

These are still all open to attack: the program is still there and can be 
patched to bypass the check. Cleverer might be to encrypt part of the 
program using the known value from my third method, rather than storing the 
value in the program. That way you'd have to find a copy of the key before 
you could decrypt the program, but it's still vulnerable to being copied 
once decrypted and to having one person take their legit copy and use it to 
enable everyone else to access the software.

A good software license key/serial number generator consists of more than 
just a string of random characters or a value from some curve generator. 
Using a limited alphanumeric alphabet, data can be embedded into a short 
string (e.g. XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that includes all kinds of useful 
information such as:

The license key data is then encrypted and then encoded using the limited 
alphanumeric alphabet. For online validation, the license server holds the 
secrets for decrypting the information. For offline validation, the 
decryption secret(s) are included with the software itself along with the 
decryption/validation code. Obviously, offline validation means the 
software isn't secure against someone making a keygen.

Probably the hardest part about creating a license key is figuring out how 
to cram as much data as possible into as few bytes as possible. Remember 
that users will be entering in their license keys by hand, so every bit 
counts and users don't want to type extremely long, complex strings in. 16 
to 25 character license keys are the most common and balance how much data 
can be placed into a key vs. user tolerance for entering the key to unlock 
the software. Slicing up bytes into chunks of bits allows for more 
information to be included but does increase code complexity of both the 
generator and validator.

Writing a keygen is a matter of knowing what a license key consists of and 
then producing the same output that the original key generator produces. If 
the algorithm for license key verification is included in and used by the 
software, then it is just a matter of creating software that does the 
reverse of the verification process.

The above license server supports both online and offline validation modes. 
A software product might start its existence with online only validation. 
When the software product is ready to retire and no longer supported, it 
can easily move to offline validation where all existing keys continue to 
work once the user upgrades to the very last version of the software that 
switches over to offline validation.

A live demo of how the above license server can be integrated into a 
website to sell software licenses plus an installable demo application can 
be found here (both the website and demo app are open source too):

However, despite being broken up into steps, this falls prey to the same 
methods of cracking used for the normal process. The process used to create 
an activation key that is checked against the original CD key was quickly 
discovered, and generators that incorporate both of the keys were made.

Most secure schemes involve either the user providing the software supplier 
with some details of the machine which will run the software (cpu serial 
numbers, mac addresses, Ip address etc.), or, require online access to 
register the software on the suppliers website and in return receive an 
activitation token. The first option requires a lot of manual 
administration and is only worth it for very high value software, the, 
second option can be spoofed and is absolutly infuriating if you have 
limited network access or you are stuck behind a firewall.
