It's hard to put pressure on hackers in countries out of our
jurisdiction... like China, or Iran, or some such.

This topic is interesting to me because until the original post, I
was unaware of what a crack was nor did I know of the websites that
help "lamers" procure cracks. I would have thought that
the large software companies would have sued the crack sites out of
existence or had the justice department breathing down their
necks. Apparently not, though. Regarding network authentication,
if the user buys the software as a download, it seems reasonable to
me that they would register their shareware, demo or trialware over
the internet as well and would be required to submit their email
address to receive the key.I found the following URL to be
informative:http://www.woodmann.com/crackz/Tutorials/Protect.htmAt
the bottom of the page is Top Protection Tips or things to avoid.
It is written by a hacker, obviously. As smart as he appears to
be, I don't understand why he doesn't spend his time in pursuits
that contribute to reducing suffering in the world, or at least to
increasing the size of his wallet if nothing else. I think I'll
send him an email and ask him that question. On his site, he seems
to be receptive to receiving email messages. If anyone wants to
see his response, if he has one, I'll put it on this list.Since I
don't know much about this topic, would someone please take a
couple of minutes to explain why 128 bit encryption works for data
but why it can't be applied to some or all of the code of an
executable? Thanks for this topic and all the other information
that the subscribers of this list provide. I appreciate it.Steven
