Questions concerning cracking skills..

hi
i am a newbie at cracking..only used others crack tools always and sometime cracked myself using hex edit(rarely)..
so how do you really learn,how to crack that particular file in that software...etc...
how do you come to know that it is that particular file in that software that should be cracked..

thanks

Hi,
learning is painfull process It involves lots of reading, try krobars collection, there is section for newbies; BUT the first thing that you have to do is learn how to use the tools - so also try to find some tuts on using most common tools like debugger, disassembler and so on.
And before jumping to commercial programs (well some of them has very trivial protections, but some are hard), try your skills on some easy crackmes - they are small so you don't have to search for the protection mechanism very much.
Also try forum at n2c.anbcs.com it is for people that are new2cracking.

Good luck,
least

thanks least ....
thanks a lot...


thanks

All of my tutorials, and nearly all of team's tutorials use OllyDbg, and various other tools (Imprec etc), they're fairly easy, and from the feedback I've recieved easy to follow. You can find them here:
