Quotejust because something is crackable doesnt mean its not worth using

That is, if your bot (is private, gets leaked, then) gets cracked, and you don't care.

But, virtually everything is crackable in one form or another. It all depends on the lengths you're willing to go to make the cracker not want (or not be able) to go to the lengths required to crack it, and then the cost involved in you going to those lengths.

Basically, if all you're doing is writing simple client/server software, then all you need is simple protection schemes. It's going to get cracked anyways, so do your best to keep it away from the most newbie of crackers (which are the most common, such as comparing the number of elite vL programmers to the number of "Visual Bot Studio" users on this forum).

Quoteyeah, but he's using vb...so the asm would be total spaghetti, difficult to read. :)


[edit]and even so, just because something is crackable doesnt mean its not worth using
Don't count on it.  VB calls the runtime DLL to do most any operation, making it fairly obvious as to what's going on.

Huh?  I'm just stating my observations after having looked at several VB programs (battle.net bots, too!) with supposedly secure protection schemes.

For god's sake, ask for code if you're using something that's undocumented (if you must), but for a totally documented and public system?
