Interesting conversation we are having here, and very worrying from my point of view. I believed my code was hackable and crackable, of course it is ! It's only software afterall. Set a break point with SoftIce and break it at the cd key entry, set a jmp, patch it and thats that (i guess, i've never used SoftIce, although I more or less know what it's capable of) ...

... the bit that worries me is your assertion that the exe can be decompiled into it's original source, with the original symbol names. Now if you are right, I just might start crying.

Please tell me you are wrong. Please tell me that it is not possible to get the source code from my release exe.

One other thing, and please forgive me for my ignorance, but what's the point in a crc check on your code, if the cracker can decompile your code, find the check and remove it ?

Looking forward to further conversation on this issue. I've gotta tell you, the bottom of my world just dropped out if you are right
