 AK> Anybody interested in cracking DOS (or other) software?

 AK> I have done some reverse engineering work and have some familiarity with
 AK> software disassembly, so I've been poking at some DOS programs for fun and

 AK> for Buccaneer (door game) - my interested was sparked by a post on reddit:

Old DOS software has been around long enough that I'd be surprised if there weren't already some cracks and keygens for a lot of it..  I think you'd have to know where to look.  Years ago I was aware of some groups of people who were doing that and releasing their cracks and keygens, and I imagine a lot of that may still be around, and may be hidden from the usual search engines online.

Also I thought there was already a key generator released for Buccanneer?  I remember seeing some posts here and on Reddit about that recently, from the son of the developer of Buccaneer, and I thought he said he himself released a key generator that he reverse-engineered?
