RAR Password Unlocker 4.3

I've been digging around this program for awhile now trying to find the part that checks to see if it is registered (in order to disable or alter it), but I am at a loss. I've ran it through a debugger and disassembler as well as went though every registry entry pertaining to it, I just don't know where to look or what exactly I'm looking for. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.

It's so strange to have worked on computers for years and have the people around you think you're some kind of genius with them, yet be a complete novice with no idea where to begin. I pretty much only know how to repair them, and do basic IT work. :obscene-hanged:

What protection is it using? that's the first thing you should look for!

I think it just has a key check, but I have no clue how to figure out if it has protection nor what it uses.

No that's the activation method, not the Protection.

Let's see :D
Some of the tools you would need:
  • OllyDbg
  • PEiD (for protection detection type)
  • ProtectionID (for protection detection type)
