Cracking Projects For Newbies

Stumbling along at the rear of the pack... Tuesday, 09-Feb-99 02:42:14 24.64.74.244 writes: Ok, apparently not only am I a newbie, but a retarded one at that. I tried to follow along with Jeff's newbie ice tutorial. First I made sure that SoftICE was properly configured to start up during windows boot. Then I ran mem95, entered the registration stuff and hit ctrl-d. Up pops ICE, just as expected... However, bpx getwindowtexta results in a 'symbol not defined (GETWINDOWTEXTA)' error message. Hmmm... Checking mem95 with WinDasm reveals that yes indeed, GetWindowTexta is a valid imported function. Try again, this time watching my caps, as if that makes any difference. Nada. Hmmm... So I drag out my UsingSoftICE.pdf manual and browse. Apparently I have to load 'Symbol loader' with debug information. Following the instructions in the manual exactly, I open memo95.exe successfully. Attempting to 'load the module' or 'translate symbol and source code' results in a 'error: no debug info found'. Load anyways? it asks me. Sure, why not. But I am exactly where I was before. Hmmm... Plowing through the help file, I am told I need to compile my program with the 'save-debug-info' attribute on. Thanks a lot, that will really help me. Browse through 'SoftICE Command Reference'. Lots of great info, but nothing to help me here. What am I doing wrong? I am sooo close I can just about taste it. On another note, thanks again all for links and suggestions. I now have found the 17 MB 'psaoa.zip' file that I downloaded from Randall Hyde's Art of Assembly site when it was still operating at UCR. Now that the online version is up again elsewhere, I could not find the zipped pdf. Anyways, I have it now, along with some other handy assembly tutorials and cracking tutorials and the opcode list from HarvestR's site. Thanks man! Excellent info at your site. I certainly have enough reading material to keep me busy for awhile. Well, thanks for taking the time to read my sad little ramblings. Any help on running SoftICE (please don't flame me) would be SO much appreciated. JT JT
