Description

If you want to get started quickly on building rich gui-based crackmes using drag and drop method the easy way, then this course is for you. You will learn how to use Embarcadero C++ Builder (Free Community Edition) to create form-based apps much like Visual Basic, where you drag and drop buttons, input boxes, labels etc onto forms. A CrackMe is a small program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills.

You will also learn C++ programming. After learning the basic skills taught in this course, you will be able to create any type of crackme you can imagine. Publish them on crackmes websites or share with your friends, or, put up on youtube, etc. Your limit is your imagination!

This course is also ideal for Software Developers who want to learn how to protect their software from being reversed. They can rapidly create crackmes to test out new ideas and if it works implement the ideas in their real software. The CrackMe's you build are compiled into native exe files and are suitable for practising reverse engineering using x64dbg or any windows reversing tools you prefer.

This course covers:

Installing C++ Builder
Building Form Based Apps
Using Forms, Labels and Buttons
Using Edits boxes and Message Boxes
Use Strings and Integers
Build crackme's
Simulate serial keys licensing
Simulate trial expiration
Simulate functionality limits
Simulate time
Simulate server activation
Understanding Trial Period software
Understanding Software Registration process
C++ Programming
Build standalone programs
Using Forms, Buttons, Textboxes, MessageBoxes
Creating Auto-generating Serial CrackMe's
Nag screens CrackMe's
Implementing Anti-Debugger Protection
Build a Client-Server Activation System CrackMe
and more…

Who this course is for:

Anyone interested to create their own crackme's for practising Reverse Engineering or CTF (Capture The Flag) Challenges
Programmers who want to get started in Reverse Engineering but do not have any targets to practice on
Students who want to learn C++ Programming the fun way
Software developers who want to learn how to protect their software

Full source code is provided with each lesson. You can download them or build from scratch by following the lessons.

What better way to get started in C++ and also creating your own windows form-based programs the easy and fun way!
