is it possible to crack HASP protected program without the dongle?

I have read from somewhere (I think somewhere from fravia's site) that the HASP encoding algorithm has a vulnerability in it that makes it rather easy to work out the code backwards. I will try to find the source....


I can't find the online source, but I found this which may help you.

All You need are http://www.wasm.ru/tools/6/hasp.zip + IDA+ ASM skills

- will help you only with old hasp API protection (used old drivers haspnt.sys). Now migth all applications protected with hasp use new drivers (all queries via hardlock.sys/vxd)...

There a 3rd generation techniques about "HASP" protecting a software.
To perform a "traffic-spy" between the computer and the HASP , the hasp is 100% required.

But try to find first of all , if the software is already cracked...
This is the best way...and after that , if you don't have find the crack try to find the dongle and do the emulation by using the Brain HASP Emulator.
