| Everything works as intented. This crackme contains some hidden booby traps on certain screens and paths and you, my sir, have been unlucky one and triggered most rare one - Napalm strike - which overtime increases cpu usage. Nothing malicious is going on, it only does dummy calculations on all cores :) (i can provide proof, so if you want, just contact me on crackmes.one discord).
Not a single trap in crackme does anything malicious that could harm system and napalm strike is only one that affects "more" than just crackme itself. |

| I have been notified crackme doesnt work on Win10 x64, will try to fix it ASAP. |
==> |
| @marci1175: that string is there, but you must search for it while crackme is running.
BTW: i just posted solution to all stages in crackme here: https://crackmy.app/crackmes/rose-exe-by-xorkey-28468
I have also posted it here, but approval process takes too long, so i cant say when it will be here. |

;) I will post solution withing next few days. It has around 100 pages of A4. |

| False alarm, i just tried found password and it works. I dont know, either solar eruptions or i was just tired and entered it repeatedly wrong :D
So one last push to finish line. |
==> |
| You want me to post it here or discuss it in private? I will see again all checks if i missed something or there is multiple possibilities and i forgot about it. |
==> |
| @xorkey Could you pls verify if stage 12 (virtual realms) is doable? Because i am basically at the end, i have "working" password that passes all checks, shows correct message, but fails then after new stage is decrypted. There is one series of checks that seems to me bit strange and i suspect those could be cause of issues. So either i missed something or something doesnt add up :) |
==> |
| This isnt even for comment, it should have been in description :D And i dont see it as unfair advantage knowing its there, because it really isnt cool feature and because it is in specific position in checks order, it wont give any advantage knowing it. Imagine someone would make something like Delete C: on failed attempt and then told you - this is a joke man :D |
==> |
| Alright, got past stage 11 even with that bug. But i must say, reseting save is really dick move and if i lucky didnt make backup (i dont even remember why i did it), then after reset i would just drop crackme and moved on.
WARNING FOR OTHER SOLVERS: Once you get to Stage 11 (Bouncers Arsenal), do BACKUP of your save! Stage contains resets in in case of almost successful attempts. You have been warned.
P.S. @xorkey you can message me on discord. I am in crackmes.one discord, you can find me there and PM me. I have same nick. I can guide you to that error (if it wasnt intentional). |
==> |
| By slipping you mean reseting progress on fail? o.O
BTW: it is intentional crackme will close itself on stage 11 even without debugger? |
==> |
| Uff, got past labyrinth. That one really took some time and effort :D But to be honest, i didnt enjoy it as much as i would like because of some aspects of given stage that i do not like in overall. I do not want to spoil here what exactly ;)
Tomorrow will continue with next bouncy :D
BTW: how many stages it has? I really hope i am almost at the end, would really love to finish it and write solution :) |
==> |
| I like it a lot, and i hope i will reach end soon :D |
==> |
| Stage 9 done :) |
==> |
| Chicken crossed the road :P |
==> |
| Finally! Cant wait to continue :D |
==> |
| Alright :3 |
==> |
| No problem, just let me know once you update it :D I want to finish it :) |
==> |
| Hey, i just got to stage 8 (the chicken), but when i type go, cme writes several lines of Chicken lives and program ends. I have also tried to close debugger and run it from terminal, but result is the same. Is it expected behaviour, because it seems like bug to me? |
==> |
| Just solved it, will write solution in next few days |
==> |
| @Fatmike You are welcome :) |
==> |
| @Joshli my solution to this crackme just got approved. If you are still stuck, maybe take a peek for a hint :) |
==> |
| So far i have end up in same situation. There are contradictory conditions that cannot be met. I am starting to believe there is something fishy going on, but so far not luck in figuring out what. |
==> |
| Uff, finally kicked its ass, took me longer than i would like to admit. My reversing skills are bit rusty after almost 20 years :D |
