thanks guys, got it already 😉

Using a md5 algo now that i can bytewise feed with BaseFile::ReadByte() , seems to work quite well!

Hi Jack,

actually i dont want to change my serial with this. I noticed my plugins get cracked, so i just want to detect if the files were changed, using the md5 checksum.

About the keygen code extraction , i know what you mean, but then there's the possibility of asymetric encryption. Not sure if I'll go so far though..

I think I'll try a couple things and see if the situation changes.

Anyway, if somebody really wants to crack you protection, they'll do it. IMO there's no secure way to prevent it.

yeah of course, I just want to make the crackers life a little bit harder, maybe he'll lose interest when it costs him too much time 😉

CInema4d plugin serial dialogs have a distinct signature, wheather in IDA PRO or OllyDBG,peexplorer,etc etc. A simple (and I mean simple) md5 sum/crypto isn't going to stop anyone intent on cracking your plugin. The best bet is to forget about the nonsense of intensly focusing on protecting your plugin/application and just have fun and reap the rewards of the legit users/purchasers. Apps like Themida/ASProtectSKE/EXECryptor etc etc only irritate legit customers because of AV/Firewall/Virus etc etc. Even Maxons reverse Modulo encryption/math etc etc system doesnt prevent dedicated crackers from Keygenning their Cinema 4D Main Application or modules. Basically in a sum, let this concern die because in the end if it can be seen/loaded on a computer it will be cracked/keygenned/loaded no matter what you do. Be creative cheers. I hope this helps you all,And good luck!!!
