KeyGenMe #1 :: VB :: Difficulty : 3

KeyGenMe Location : KeyGenMe #1 @ Crackmes.de
Solution Location : Not Solved Yet


So, here is my first KeyGenMe. It's coded in VB 6.0. Features :
(*) NOT Packed
(*) NOT Encrypted
(*) Nice GUI with Color Code + License Key protection

The Rules :
(*) NO Patching
(*) NO Brute-forcing

The Tasks :
(*) Find algorithm for key and color calculations.
(*) Make KeyGen to generate key and color code for a given user-name.
[ The program accepts a particular color out of 9 colors for each user. The 9 colors are : RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW, CYAN, MAGENTA, BLACK, WHITE, GREY. So, either your KeyGen can show the color or it can just name it. Particularly for C/C++ programmers, you can just display the color name. ]
(*). Write a tutorial. ;)

Readers, if you solve this, please upload your solution to CrackMes.de.

My very first blog !!

This is my first ever experience in blogging. So, welcome to my first blog.

Why did I start this blog ?
Haha, nothing special. I got myself registered at www.crackmes.de on 5th March 2009, (yeah recently !). I saw some of the blogs by andrewl.us (RCE Junk blog), obnoxious (obnoxious coder blog) and I was inspired to start one of my own. That's it and here am I -- blogging.

What am I going to blog about ?
I will be mainly blogging about CRACKING (as the title says). I will be discussing about my CrackMes / KeyGenMes submitted to www.crackmes.de. I would discuss about the specialty of each of my work. I would discuss about the solutions to my works. [[ Suggestions by readers are most welcome ]]

I may not be able to maintain the blog regularly because of a wide-range of causes (workload, studies ...). So, just bear with it. ;)

So,.. I guess that was enough introduction. Next post, I will start with my KeyGenMes...
