Apple has to show it's commited to a business plan in it's switch to Intel and not being blaise with the company I.P.Īpple's hardware business is already in jeopardy - PC margins are extremely low and getting lower. Apple may be making a mint off iPod sales, but Macintosh sales are still the company's bread and butter. But if they stand idley by and become complacent about the piracy/hacking of OSX86 their shareholders are going to wonder how much Apple is working to protect it's core hardware business and their stock investments. They may want a little piracy to get word-of-mouth, first-hit-free publicity in the Wintel world. If Apple lets the situation get out of control it will put it's hardware business (which is Apple's real business, despite what people keep trying to claim about the iTMS and OSX upgrades) in jeopardy.Īlso, Apple has an image as a serious company to maintain for their shareholders. There are many people who would love to run OSX and could care less what the PC it's running on looked like or the build quality. It's true that Apple could benefit from some piracy on the generic vanilla PC side, but this would do little for the long run.

For now I'll ignore the debate of whether they could maintain their quality of software over a wider range of hardware or not. While I fully support the whole "It's their OS, they don't have a monopoly, it's still beta, they can do what they like" idea, I was under the impression that Intel piracy could actually be good for them (something I want, since I, like you, want to continue using Apple's products). That's an interesting counterpoint to what I was thinking actually. That does not mean the version of Windows you have today will run, they may merely mean they would not prevent MS from doing a version of Windows for Apple hardware. Remember, Apple only said they would do nothing to stop Windows from running on their hardware. The real cost savings comes from using Intel CPUs and PCI chipsets, not from having Intel design your motherboard.
Think interrupt controllers, DMA controllers, etc.

Apple has quite a bit of experience designing their own motherboards, they could easily redo their current custom design, or redo an Intel reference design, and ship something that does not use PC compatible parts and Mac OS X can be coded to only support those parts. The current hack only works because Apple is using an off-the-shelf Intel PC motherboard. Using Intel CPUs and PCI chipsets does not mean you have a PC compatible motherboard. The consumer hardware that ultimately ships may only partly resemble PC compatible hardware. I wonder how long before someone hacks into the OS/X code and does this. The CD included a directory called "crack" which contained some patches. I remember old PC games being sold (illegally) in the streets.

In the end, the best way for a product is to be good, useful, have nice manuals and have a proper support at the right price, then the majority of people will buy it, especially if it's bundled with good hardware, since it wouldn't make sense otherwise. It's still possible to analyze it, just a bit harder. Some of course are encrypted, but even then the code must be "decrypted" before being run so. The only product scheme which are more difficult to crack is those which they *seems* to be cracked, but fail unexpectively after a period of time which is very far apart the actual "test".Īnd for products which prevent "debug mode" utilities, well, there exist other products to go around this issue by simply masquerading the WinIce/SoftIce application, so it doesn't get detected and prevented from running in "debug mode". If ( input_key != calculated_key ) Īnother way is to run it in debug mode and then see the content of the register having calculated_key.

Other serials are simply generated by having the serial key code compare being blindly copied into another program to create a keygen. You might have to add a NOP to make the instruction the same length. This way any invalid serial is now actually valid.

So, one easy way is as simple as by passing the checks by renaming JZ into JNZ, JE into JNE, JO into JNO, or similar when the serial number is checked. Most cracks are extremely simple, crackers are simply looking for a conditional and unconditional jump instruction, that's it! Then it's all about stepping into the code step by step and having break points.
