Hacking .DAT File - Jc2012 - Mar 21, 2015
Hi hoping you guys can help
I have License file for piece of hardware (automotive) that i wish to decrypt so i can understand how the license file checks against the hardware serial number before allowing you to use it.
The file is a .dat and i have tried Notepad++ but all of the information still appears scrambled can anyone assist me or point me in the direction of being able to reverse engineer the file so i can read it play with it and see if i can get it to work?

Data files can contain custom data. I mean data that the serial checking program only can understand. Or maybe it is obfuscated.

Ahhh okay bugger - basically i have a copy of the updated software from another guys machine - need it to run on mine. Or alternatively someone to see if they can bypass a server to obtain the latest updates.

Your best bet is to crack the program not the dat file.

Well. You need to provide us more info. What type of software? Even better the name of it.

Below is a the software you use to update the device.
h t t p : / / w w w. autoboss . net /en/v30update.asp
If someone can bypass the security on that to allow a full download / update it would be great
anyone fancy giving that a go - or is there any more information you require? let me know!
