Amnesty is a program that lets you run dashboard widgets on the desktop. The trial is a typical 30-day fully functional trial. The only protection is a function remindMe that is responsible for popping up the trial window:
====== B E G I N O F P R O C E D U R E ======
; Basic Block Input Regs: ebp st0 - Killed Regs: eax edx esp ebp edi xmm0
meth_AppController_remindMe:
0001a6a8 55 push ebp
0001a6a9 89E5 mov ebp, esp
0001a6ab 57 push edi
0001a6ac 56 push esi
0001a6ad 53 push ebx
0001a6ae 83EC5C sub esp, 0x5C
0001a6b1 A1E4650400 mov eax, dword [ds:objc_msg_date]
...
This can be avoided entirely by jumping directly to the end of the function:
meth_AppController_remindMe: 0001a6a8 55 push ebp 0001a6a9 89E5 mov ebp, esp 0001a6ab 57 push edi 0001a6ac 56 push esi 0001a6ad 53 push ebx 0001a6ae 83EC5C sub esp, 0x5C 0001a6b1 E94B030000 jmp 0x1AA01 ... 0001aa01 83C45C add esp, 0x5C ; XREF=0x1a72f, 0x1a9d5, 0x1a6b1 0001aa04 5B pop ebx 0001aa05 5E pop esi 0001aa06 5F pop edi 0001aa07 C9 leave 0001aa08 C3 ret 0001aa09 90 nop
