    there is to ways to see the code. Cracking a program is not impossible. Have you noticed the similarties between atmos and blade abers ? thats because chaos_bladder cracked atmos. Its very easy to do actually.

    From what I have experienced (In java) cracking / deobfuscating an obfuscated, compiled class file is fucking hard. Especially if a good obfuscation method was used in the first place.


    BTW mate, that .exe is most likely a torjan or keylogger.

    If it is an .exe file, like from Visual Basic, there is a lot of human readable meta data in there. Use a hex editor like Free Hex Editor.

    Open up the file, and see if you see the right kind of information. For example it may say the name of the person that created it, or the operating system it was compiled on, or the date, etc. Just check that kind of information and interrogate your friend to see if he gives you the right answers.
