برنامه کمکی: تولید سریال فایل: gen_serial.c

برای راحتی کار و تمرین یک برنامه C ساده که همون الگوریتم رو اجرا میکنه و سریال برای یک اسم میسازه

// gen_serial.c
// برنامه ساده برای تولید سریال بر اساس اسم

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

// تولید سریال مثل gen_expected_serial در باینری
void gen_expected_serial(const char *name, char *out, size_t outlen)
{
uint64_t s = 0;
// s = s*31 + ch
for (size_t i = 0; i < strlen(name); ++i) {
unsigned char ch = (unsigned char)name[i];
s = s * 31 + ch;
}
unsigned g1 = (unsigned)((s ^ 0xA5A5A5A5ULL) & 0xFFFF);
unsigned g2 = (unsigned)(((s >> 3) ^ 0x5A5A5A5AULL) & 0xFFFF);
unsigned g3 = (unsigned)(((s << 7) ^ 0x3C3C3C3CULL) & 0xFFFF);

// فرمت AAAA-BBBB-CCCC (حروف بزرگ هگز)
snprintf(out, outlen, "%04X-%04X-%04X", g1, g2, g3);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char name[256] = {0};
char serial[64] = {0};

if (argc >= 2) {
strncpy(name, argv[1], sizeof(name)-1);
} else {
printf("Enter name: ");
if (!fgets(name, sizeof(name), stdin)) return 1;
name[strcspn(name, "\r\n")] = 0;
}

if (strlen(name) == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Name is empty\n");
return 1;
}

gen_expected_serial(name, serial, sizeof(serial));
printf("Name: %s\nSerial: %s\n", name, serial);
return 0;
}



نحوه ساخت Build

با MinGW (در ویندوز):

برای hotspot_sim.c:

gcc hotspot_sim.c -o hotspot_sim.exe -mwindows


mwindows برای حذف پنجره کنسول و ساخت GUI

برای gen_serial.c:

gcc gen_serial.c -o gen_serial.exe



با MSVC (Developer Command Prompt):

hotspot_sim.c:

cl /EHsc hotspot_sim.c user32.lib gdi32.lib

gen_serial.c:

cl /EHsc gen_serial.c


چجوری تست و استفاده کنید

داخل VM ویندوزی حتما VM و snapshot برای فایل hotspot_sim.exe رو اجرا کنید


اسم دلخواه بزنید مثلا Ali حالا یا سریال رو با gen_serial.exe Ali بسازید و در فیلد Serial پیست کنید یا داخل دیباگر تابع تولید رو اجرا و مقدار expected را بخونید


اگر سریال درست باشه MessageBox موفقیت نمایش میده

راهنمای کوتاه آنالیز در x64dbg / IDA

جستجوی رشته‌ها
: "Name:", "Serial:", "%04X-%04X-%04X", "Activate & Play" → رفرنس‌ها معمولا توابع مهم رو نشون میدن

IsDebuggerPresent: breakpoint
روی IsDebuggerPresent یا آدرسی که اون رو صدا میزنه اگر 1 برگرده برنامه مسیر خطا رو میزنه

GetWindowTextA: breakpoint
بذارید تا مقدار name و serial رو داخل حافظه ببینید

ثابت‌ها: جستجوی ثابت‌های XOR (0xA5A5A5A5, 0x5A5A5A5A, 0x3C3C3C3C) یا قالب %04X-%04X-%04X شما رو به تابع تولید سریال میرسونه

مقایسه: breakpoint روی stricmp تا قبل از مقایسه دو بافر رو ببینید

MessageBoxA:
گذاشتن breakpoint اینجا سریع میگه کدوم شاخه اجرا شده موفق یا خطا




Auxiliary program: Serial generation File: gen_serial.c)

For convenience and practice, a simple C program that implements the same algorithm and creates a serial for a name

// gen_serial.c
// Simple program to generate serial based on name

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

// Generate serial like gen_expected_serial in binary
void gen_expected_serial(const char *name, char *out, size_t outlen)
{
uint64_t s = 0;
// s = s*31 + ch
for (size_t i = 0; i < strlen(name); ++i) {
unsigned char ch = (unsigned char)name[i];
s = s * 31 + ch;
}
unsigned g1 = (unsigned)((s ^ 0xA5A5A5A5ULL) & 0xFFFF);
unsigned g2 = (unsigned)(((s >> 3) ^ 0x5A5A5A5AULL) & 0xFFFF);
unsigned g3 = (unsigned)(((s << 7) ^ 0x3C3C3C3CULL) & 0xFFFF);

// format AAAA-BBBB-CCCC (hex uppercase letters)
snprintf(out, outlen, "%04X-%04X-%04X", g1, g2, g3);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char name[256] = {0};
char serial[64] = {0};

if (argc >= 2) {
strncpy(name, argv[1], sizeof(name)-1);
} else {
printf("Enter name: ");
if (!fgets(name, sizeof(name), stdin)) return 1;
name[strcspn(name, "\r\n")] = 0;
}

if (strlen(name) == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Name is empty\n");
return 1;
}

gen_expected_serial(name, serial, sizeof(serial));
printf("Name: %s\nSerial: %s\n", name, serial);
return 0;
}

How to Build

With MinGW (on Windows):

For hotspot_sim.c:

gcc hotspot_sim.c -o hotspot_sim.exe -mwindows


mwindows to remove the console window and build the GUI

For gen_serial.c:

gcc gen_serial.c -o gen_serial.exe


With MSVC (Developer Command Prompt):

hotspot_sim.c:

cl /EHsc hotspot_sim.c user32.lib gdi32.lib

gen_serial.c:

cl /EHsc gen_serial.c

How to test and use

Inside a Windows VM, be sure to run the VM and snapshot for the hotspot_sim.exe file

Give it a name of your choice, for example Ali. Now either create the serial with gen_serial.exe Ali and paste it in the Serial field, or run the generation function inside the debugger and read the expected value

If the serial is correct, the MessageBox will display success

A short guide to analyzing in x64dbg / IDA

Search Strings
: "Name:", "Serial:", "%04X-%04X-%04X", "Activate & Play" → References usually indicate important functions

IsDebuggerPresent: breakpoint
On IsDebuggerPresent or the address that calls it, if it returns 1, the program will hit the error path

GetWindowTextA: breakpoint
Put it to see the value of name and serial in memory

Constants: Search for XOR constants (0xA5A5A5A5, 0x5A5A5A5A, 0x3C3C3C3C) or the pattern %04X-%04X-%04X will take you to the serial generation function

Comparison: breakpoint on stricmp to see the two buffers before comparing

MessageBoxA:
Putting a breakpoint here will quickly tell you which branch was executed successfully or failed
