Install a certain file in Giveawayoftheday even if the Giveaway is over

Sunday, June 3, 2012




In this guide , i will demonstrate how to install a file even if the giveaway is over.

In Giveawayoftheday , they distribute two kinds of packages -

#1 Protected installer (usually two files , Setup.exe , Readme.txt) (occassionally a serial key is included in the Readme)

#2 Unprotected installer with Activator (usually comes with three files : Activate.exe , Readme.txt , Setup.exe)

The type of file we will be cracking today is the first one. We will be removing the protection around the Installer , so that we can run the installer anytime.

Things in the video to note:

To get Process Explorer , go to http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe

We will be enabling "Show hidden files and folders" and disabling "Hide file extensions for known file types"

Theory behind this method
-
The installer is actually integrated into a wrapper software made by giveawayoftheday , which verifies if the giveaway is valid. When the wrapper validates the file , it extracts the installer into the temporary file folder of Windows. We are easily able to track that file , as the wrapper will automatically execute the installer , therefore it will be the Parent of the installer's process (as seen in Process Explorer in the video)

The file is hidden , and usually has a prefix of "we" , and a suffix of ".tmp"

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
