Bullshit. Put an erase head after the read head. Write once, play once. That has been the case for decades. To claim it wasn't possible before, is a poor excuse to undo a decades-old accepted practice.

... and who's going to ge the first one of us to open that end-user product up and cut the leads going to the erase head?

There's a reason you don't find any products that use that type of read-once technology, besides the fact that nobody would pay extra for the erase head: there's always a way around it!

I don't really know, but Fravia did put up some of +ORC's tutorials here.

Google is your friend.

Wow, you know all that stuff and cant simply go to astalavista like everybody? ;-)

btw (but you probably already know of), fravia made a nice website about searching, another quick place to use search engines is on freddo's search page.

Of course, for those of us who are slightly more lazy, this Easier to use version.

Here's possibly one of the best sites on the net about the philosophy of designing shareware. Note that copy protection is not the answer!

Basically, the author does triage. There are 3 types of people: those who will always pay, those who will never pay (pirates), and those who might pay. He focuses on trying to convince the latter group, and doesn't waste time with copy protection schemes that will just annoy the honest users and not stop the pirates.

What's wrong with copy protection:

Some typical attack methods:

You might want to read all of these before deciding if your efforts on copy protection are really worth it in the long run.

The author of the first link has a page of more links that are also very good.

Hehe, no he didnt disapeared at all. And i can tell you he's alive and kicking. Yet you may find his old data here on the AntiCrack website.

One question: does WoW stands for Warriors of Wasteland?

I wonder in what it is different from AGORA, Web-To-Email, Gopher, and such services services? If you dont know bout them, you might want to check the Accessing The Internet By E-mail -- Guide to Offline Internet Access and Fravia's "How to search the web" lesson 10.

Have fun.

you might want to have a look at AntiCrack which is a huge collection of tutorials cracking , reverse engineering, and programming. They also have a copy of the Old Fravia'Site, the new one being about searching).

There's a few games/challenges out there about reverse engineering, cracking, logic and programming. Give them a try if you wish (Arcanum is really nice):
AngularVision, Apotheosis, Arcanum, Aspect, Aspect2, C&CDisIncorporated, CyberArmy, Disavowed, Electrica, Escape, HackME, HackersGames, HackersLab, HackQuest, Hybrid, ICEFortress, Lamebulun, Mod-X, NetSplit, NGSEC'sSecurityGame, ProblemSetArchive, ReverserCourse, SlyFX, TheGame, and Try2hack.

have fun ;-)

For an excellent source of reverse engineering material, you really should check out the old Fravia pages. This is the original stuff right here.

Along with reversing tutorials and materials, there is a rich history behind this stuff. A man named +ORC published a tutorial on how to reverse engineer a Windows program called pooldemo.exe. From this text, an era was born. The Fravia website was created and was home to the +HCU. Many people sought after the true identity of +ORC, and he left a strainer (riddle) behind that would take you to a URL where he would be unmasked supposedly. Just look up "ORC riddle" on google for details. Neat stuff!
