This feels like an old school error, just with modern protection code.
Like in the Win95 days where the installer would ask for a serial number to install… But you could load the installer in a hex editor, look for the PKZ magic bytes, and run unzip on it. :)
I unlocked a ton of “paid” games on Windows 95 from Compaq at ~5 years old just by typing
000000. It was even easier because it gave away the maxlength.Remember the stickers on the side of PC towers with the serial number on it?
i spent a day analyzing enigma protector
Bro, that was already broken in 1945. /s
Did I get this right? The enigma-stuff works good but the devs of the protected VST plugin messed it up by protecting the installer instead of the payload?
Or is this is inherently a problem of enigma?
