My favorite Hex Editor hack was when I cracked a Windows software simply by changing the instruction "Equal to" to "Not Equal to" where it matches for Software Key with user entered key.



branch if not equal.

and noops.

we were reverse engineers, make no mistake


It was something like: find "74", change it to "75" lol


Yes, but the hard part is that were a lot of "74"s and you had to figure out which one had to be changed... :)


Ahaha wow this brings back memories :)
