By definition, vulnerabilities are what exploits are used on. Technically the keygen is the exploit since his application had a vulnerability which allowed the cracker to create the keygen in the first place.
I disagree. a keygen does not need a vulnerability. In reverse engineering, your only limits are your imagination and time you will spend. Even though you code the perfect SN validation, it is always possible to write a keygen. This is not like "No website is can not be hacked." hacking always needs a vulnerability to exploit. Cracking and creating keygen are like finding what's inside and copying it. You can complicate things but it never guarantees no one can find out your formula. "security-basics" My comments above are not technical facts, but my personal comments on the subject. I also think if someone can do reverse-engineering and crack my application, I think it is OK for him to use my program without paying, also people who take risk of viruses and download cracks are not potential buyers for my program and I don't care if they download and use cracks for personal usage. -- Husrev Ozayman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
