Ideas on how to crack an Active X Control?

[Zanith]

Seeing as i'm not a company nor do a charge for my program or have any trace back to my real life i think i'll be just fine.

Covey, are you trying to tell me that you violated the Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act by providing false whois data for your domain name?
Should I take the route which sees informing ICANN about your false whois data, how would life suit you without a domain name Covey?

I know that the Sythe forum users cheat at a game, thats not against the law. What I didn't realise that they endorsed somebody who does break the law and give him an honored status. Is that what I am to understand Sythe is about? Not the 'other' side of the RuneScape community, but a forum which endorses topics which promote law breaking.

Not being a company or charge for a program doesn't allow you to distribute software illegally. For the record, what does the 'Inc' stand for in coveyinc.com?

For the record, to stop you and future posters from wasting alot of their time. Knowing that the majority of a Cheating forum based on RuneScape, play RuneScape aren't the sharpest tool in the shed, no offense inteded, I doubt very few of the users here will have the knowledge of how to crack said software. I'm not saying that Sythe users are dumb, far from it, just they lack the knowledge required to crack said software.
Real advice: Its Salted, Give up

A quick question, when did this 'Annex' person 'thrash' 'my' IRC server. I have no knowledge of who 'Annex' is, what 'thash'ing entails, or where 'my' IRC server is.

Zanith, the 'thrashed' 'irc' 'server' wasn't referring to you. It was in someone elses' post and I deleted it.

Also, covey, if you're going to be stealing someone's work, at least don't make it obvious...

You've posted on Sythe, that's more than enough information to help track you down.

(I doubt you use a proxy on Sythe 100% of the time)

Why can't you spend the time trying to write your own instead of trying to crack it or to improve on the one you currently have?

 

[cp]

If you were a programmer (maybe you are, who knows), you would know that saving time beats rewriting existing code, even if it means giving credit to someone else.

The WhoIs information for CoveyInc.com isn't False, but it isn't mine. I never said i own CoveyInc.com. I may have paid for it, but it's not to say it's mine.
You're a bit biased saying this forum endorses law breakers when you know that a few said users from your forums were bot netting our IRC servers awhile back.

As for cracking this control, i will eventually get over it and give up, but at the moment i'll keep trying.

And this is Annex - http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=424020

cp_, programming is just a hobby of mine, i don't do it for a living. And i don't have time to write a full control like this, i'd rather take this shortcut.

 

[Curt]

Thanks Seph, but i asked first to try and do the right thing, but since you will not sell it to me you leave me no option.

Haha, I see a war going about soon.

Hm, I think I'm gonna order a cheap PO box next week or something, and offer it for the public to use for WHOIS purposes

Well, certainly you won't be distributing your program here. You're making use of someone elses' code against their permission, which is just as bad as ripping layers in the gfx section (which can earn a ban, I might add.)

First let me point out that sythe.org is about freedom (of trade, speech and action). Rules can be broken by those smart enough to break them and not get caught. Laws are just arbitrary rules. They have no more validity than school rules, and are often equally as unjust. Additionally, they apply to specific geographic reigons which become basically meaningless online.

Finally, providing incorrect whois information can, at worst, have your domain suspended until you provide correct information. You cannot lose a domain over incorrect whois information unless the suspension continues for a number of months without action on the part of the owner.

True wise words.

Sythe,
Yes, you're free to do whatever you want, and I don't mind that, but I'm pretty sure once you start aiding the distribution of copyright material, hivelocity.net might have a few words to say about you, no? Yes, laws apply to geographic reigons, but they don't lose meaning online, your server is in the US? Well all applicable US laws apply to all digital material on your servers. As my point did entail, he'll have to provide correct data, otherwise the only other route would be the loss of his domain name. Failure to update his whois records will cause the removal of the domain name, or parking until the domain name expires.
Covey, what forums do 'we' have? I have never nor do I endorse and botnetting of your servers as I am on friendly terms with several of your IRC Operators, and I don't see a really positive output from a DoS of your server. ANY attacks done by users of our client are done at there own will and are not endorsed by any staff members.

I'm not here to cause trouble, or to start a flame argument, but I was just very suprised to see that your forum stoop this low.

Some advice for Covey, give up with whats left of your dignity, I can guarentee that you'll never 'crack' it. Might I suggest spending five seconds to google another control for IRC, http://smart-coding.com/?p=12
Or you could, rather ask people to crack pre-made software, help you make a new control.

 

[Curt]

Interesting topic.

 

[Covey]

Haha Curt.

Zanith calm down, i'm probably just gonna end up coding my own rush job of an IRC or do up the current one i have (the old swiftirc).

I guess this way i can save whats left of my dignity, and hopefully you will not think any lower of me. Because since i know you, your opinion means alot to me.

 

[caapi]

Are you using portable VB6?

 

[Visual Basic Matt]

Ok, Ive had this error before too. I know just what to fix it.
There is this program I got from Microsoft that installs a whole bunch of ocx's
You can download that HERE
Or, I know a website where they have ocx's and you just find them manually on the list. You'll figure it out. The website is http://www.afreeocx.com/
I hope this fixes your problem.
