I bought igetter for my imac but it won't register on my macbook pro. I spent all day in gdb trying to crack it. It has so many different sources from which it runs. I don't believe the main check it in the igetter program itself but an extension. I just really got into learn gdb today, and cracked a couple programs.

Audio units are not applications that run on themselves, they need a host application. Gdb is the answer (never used ida debugger so I'm not sure if it's capable of doing what is required in this case). There are excellent guides about assembly for Windows around the web.

Reading text versus a human tutor are two different animals. I got IDA to disassemble the binary located within the macos directory of an audio unit ".component". The wall I'm running into is IDA telling me that it needs to be pointed to a host application; the debugger won't run the binary. I'm assuming its because of the identity of the package is .component, not .app. I have no problems running the debugger with any other ".app" binary. IDA has three criteria for the debugger to run Application Input File Directory The debugger will run an .app but not .component. If you don't want to tell me, for the sake of learning, could you please push me in the right direction so I may find an answer. Thank you. fG, have you considered making a guide to assembly reading / interpreting, and the mechanics of code manipulation, video tutorials?

IDA has three criteria for the debugger to run
Application
Input File
Directory

The debugger will run an .app but not .component.

I'm trying to get IDA to debug an Audio Unit without success. How would you go about loading an A.U into IDA's debugger? Is it because A.U's extension is ".component", not ".app" Thank you again...

IDA_patcher from IDA book is a good tool if the patch is very big, else it's usually faster with an hex editor. Those are warnings that do not pose any problem to your compiled ida_patcher.c.

I appreciate your suggestion. Could you please help shed some light on using IDA to compile (patch?) edited assembly. Google brought up a few variations of "ida_patcher.c" to use on a IDA diff export. Can IDA directly change and save assembly code within a Unix Executable without having to go through the patching process? I'm using 10.6 SL OSX... Also, could you please help me compile this http://www.idabook.com/examples/chapter_14/ida_patcher.c I tried in terminal using the command gcc ida_patcher.c and got this: ida_patcher.c: In function ‘main’: ida_patcher.c:51: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ ida_patcher.c:61: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ ida_patcher.c:70: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ ida_patcher.c:86: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ Any suggestions? Thank you kindly. DP fG,

I am a novice, but not without a brain, and I would really love to see a video of you using your recommended tools to show the mechanics of how to locate and negotiating a challenge/response authorization. If not, could you please direct me toward a resource that can illustrate the process from a hands on perspective? My interest right now involve an Audio Unit plug-in called Fielding DSP Reviver. You're right, everyone seems to love One-Byte... Maybe it's time for you to have an apprentice that will be your next Vader. Take Care, D.P Sir,
