I am always curious about how people can crack the password of some games.
Can someone please tell me how I can do so? Like using Norton Utilities,
or any editor. Please tell me what to look for? Thanks 8)

Old rogue games used the crypt(3) command (DES encryption) and compiled the crypted pw into the executable. If you got a copy of it, you could edit the binary and insert your own encrypted pw into it. Strings would find the apprpriate string. I was playing around with mounting partitions w/o root access. This is on Ultrix 4.0 and can be done by anyone. Talk about distributed computing! I see some interesting things here. -- _---_ Stefan Chakerian / o o \ | \___/ | \_____/ Have a nice day... somewhere else.
