Reverse Engineering Rogues #3 - AdwarePunisher | Keygen | [more md5]

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!

AdwarePunisher - another relic, rogue anti-spyware that finds ‘infections’ on a clean box like a detective finding a speck of dust in a vacuum. Of course the user would have to pay and register the software to have ‘them’ removed.

Today, for educational purposes, I share my notes from the dissection of the registration routine and we take another look at md5 while having fun dump watching.

Today, for educational purposes, we’ll craft a keygen for this maleficent artifact.

Tools:
- x64dbg
- SysInternals Process Monitor
- python
