Hello All,

I have been trying to solve this crackme, called VB Crackme v 2.0 by
Eternal_Bliss (from http://crackmes.cjb.net). I am able to see my fake
serial being tossed around, but Iam unable to comprehend what is being
done with it. As a result Iam not able to solve the crackme.

These are some of the interesting API's I found out.
Please help me with them.I don't know what they do.
I know this is a very long list. If not an explanation of each of these
API's, please tell me the source from where I can learn about them, or
please explain only the important one's.

Any help will be greatly appreciated by this SuperDumb Newbie.

1.) __vbaVarMove
2.) __vbaFreeStrList
3.) __vbaI4Var
4.) __vbaVarCopy
5.) __vbaVarForNext
6.) __vbaFreeStr
7.) __vbaFreeObj
8.) rtcR8ValFromBstr
9.) rtcMidCharVar
10.) __vbaStrCmp
11.) __vbaVarTstEq
12.) __vbaVarCat
13.) __vbaFreeVar
14.) __vbaLenBstr
15.) __vbaFreeVarList
16.) __vbaEnd
17.) rtcAnsiValueBstr
18.) __vbaHresultCheckObj
19.) __vbaVarForInit
20.) __vbaObjSet

also WideCharToMultiByte & MultiByteToWideChar (I think these are very
interesting API's in the context of this crackme)

Sorry for the trouble. Hope I can share this knowledge you give me, with my fellow newbies.

Thankyou Once Again.

With Regards

Hola,

That's quite the list, so instead of going line by line, I'll just give you a nudge to help yourself a bit ;-)

Most API's are fairly self explanatory with a little thought...

var = variant (more or less...variable)
str=string
cmp=compare
free=release from memory(more or less)
alloc=allocate to memory
i4=4 byte integer (i think)
cpy=copy

etc.....

multibyte to widechar take a string from regular text(multibyte) to unicode(widechar format)

hope that helps you out a little
