Introduction

 

This program teaches the fundamentals of assembly language programming in a fun way by letting you solve given task with an assembly like type of scripting language. It is fun because it helps you to solve programs in a gamelike situtation.

 

About this protection system

 

Registration is via the startup nag screen. There are two edit boxes for user info, namely :-

Name :

Serial Number :

The Seriaol number is hard coded into the program. You can use any name with the serial number.

THE ESSAY

Install IntelliBots and run the program you will be preseented with the registion dialogbox. There are two buttons and two editboxes for info. One button says Evaluate now and the other says OK. Enter a fake name and Serial Number and press OK. The dialogbox is clear and and you are presented with it again. You can only get into the program by pressing ok if your serial number is correct. You will continuously get the reg dialog.

Press The Evaluate Button. You are now in the main progfram screen. Some of the items on this screen are disabled. They will only be enabled if you register the program. Ok let's find the serial number. Exit Intellibots.

Start W32Dasm and disassemble Ibots.exe.

When the disassembly is complete check the String Data references. You will see the Serial Number there. It is made up of Apha-numeric characters (numbers & letters).

The Serial number is made up of 15 characters, 3 letters a dash 5 numbers another dash and another 5 numbers. eg XXX-#####-#####. The Serial number is case sensitive so you must take down the Letters as they are.

Now run Intellibots again and put in any name and the serial number you wrote down. and press OK. the program will be registered and all cammands will be enabled.


You should buy this program if you intend to use it longer than the evaluation period.


I will like to say thanks to +Fravia, Sandman, CrackZ, Cruehead, Iczelion and all the others out there who help by providing the knowledge to make this possible.
