This post is very interesting. Quick question:
Does the fingerprint creation allows for some variable that allows to change of hardware or software that happen to every pc over a period of time?
My pseudo code would look like this

This would allow the program to run if the fingerprint is not a perfect match. This would be covering for Hard drive failure and so on. I am sure the finger print key would not work on a second machine.
One level more
This would allow to have a key that will adapt to change over time.

Does anyone know:
If i compile a script such as Lazslo's to an exe is it possible to pass parameters to (for example) the TEA function without an input box?

It is in the Help, under "Passing Command Line Parameters to a Script".

I will be re-reading this today, because that is where I am at with my new version of CPULOCK, bug free, ready to release.
I, and a fricken idiot, want-to-be genius, thief, MFing bastard, whom I may hunt down and treat him like a rabid dog, came up with this..
(Long story, yes I am bitter , but, an ex friend, used and abused me, I paid the bastard for a bunch of stuff, he flaked off and got nothing working right, so I am taking him to court)
Anyways,

Something else cool to do with urldownload, data base manipulation..!!
AHK code

On the web server, asp code


So with this urldownload - asp web page talking to a simple Access database, one can do all their software copy protection, collect client data, make sure only one copy is installed per hard drive, (or other ways like you talked about here), and do an unlimited amount of stuff.

Because that idiot-ex friend, flaked off, and I can not seem to get majkinetor interested in helping me for money as a side job, (she is a very smart and nice lady), I am going to have to expose this info and potentially open my system up to attacks, and ask for help...

I always wanted to share this knowledge because being able to manipulate a database through AHK is cool and opened the door to many things, but it also exposes the system I use and some immature jerk could try to find the URL and attack my databases, but I hope they have more important things to do and can be nice.
Just think, no need for a network connection, being so unique, makes it secure, you could add a field in a simple shopping cart that tells how many the person bought and what the auto number is for the invoice, then let AHK take care of the rest, email, name, HD #, etc, etc..

lol!! Dude as much as I love reading your hilarious posts please scale down your image or post a thumbnail in future. Imageshack can do this for you.

On a related note the thread titled see if clients are using my script discusses some options for logging usage of your applications. Obviously no method is fail-safe, and good developers will bear that in mind when writing DRM.

thank you for taking the time

Hi,

I wonder if someone can give me some advice about this script. I looked into a while back and plan to protect my script with it to circulate it amongst a group. I was satisfied it was fine and thought I'd come back to it when I needed it. So by chance I put my script onto my girlfriends computer and had left my rego in there. Next thing the program starts. But she uses my domain at my place at times so I figure maybe it's all tangled somehow. So I setup my program today and send it to my brother in another state, my rego enclosed in another folder, he starts it and gets the please register, fine, so he puts in my rego and the program starts. This is meant to be unique to one computer or domain right? I'm using the script right at the beginning...

Hmm, I checked back to see if there were answers and realized the question is cryptic at the end. I used the script at the beginning..of this post. I layed it out as instructed, put my script in where the msgbox and sleep is, the remainder at the end of my script.

Not sure if you still need help or not with all these posts
But, as I understand you are trying to make the protection GUI libraries work, so try this:

First, get the two libraries from the 4th page of this thread:

Then, your application header should look something like this:


When someone runs this script for the first time, they need to press Get Registration Key. They will then be shown a computer ID which they need to send to you.

Then, when you have their computer ID, you can use a code like below, to generate a registration code for them. You can put whatever email you want and whatever company/name you want - but the computer ID must be THEIRS.


Once you generate the registration details, you should email them to the user.
They need to type it exactly as specified, and on the same computer.

If they do it successfully, a "Reg.ini" file will be written in the app folder, so that next loads of the application will no longer ask for a registration.

Does this help?

Great all this but is it possible someone can convert the TEA cipher in the original Lazlo script to PHP or Ruby so the unlock key can be generated from a website when the fingerprint is entered. That would be most useful!

TEA can be replaced with Windows’ built-in AES functions, leaving only the system calls for the web script, which should be easy.

Thank You i try that and i was about to ask this.

Would the script still work by changing the TEA routine to RC4. By just removing the TEA routine and changing the call to the TEA routing correctly as i found alot more for RC4 in PHP. If the TEA encrypt function variables independant of the rest of the script then it should work if i use the same key length.

RC4 should work, too, but in the client machine the AHK script has to work exactly as the PHP version, which is a potential source of problems. Windows system calls are faster and don't have these issues.

The encryption functions and the rest of the script are completely separated.
So you should be able to replace them with whatever you want.

See the SWProtect-Internal script.
You only need to change this file, and only the section marked as "Internal Functions by Laszlo" (I think it is marked like this)

Make sure that the functions get the same arguments and return the same result, and you are good to go.
If you need to change arguments and return value, than obviously, you will need to make these adjustments in other places of the code.

whats to stop them jumping onto another pc with another email and requesting another code. there has to be sort of extra prevention against that. maybe a database of hardware ids but then again that would discriminate new registrations as well ha.

i got the AES code but im having a job implementing so it works for AES.
