DRM5 Cracked Report
Downconvert DRM 5: Does it work or not?
Since I called the program fake and I can't find it work in my computer, anonymous people started to email me and teach me how to work it out:
"The discussions have been on alt.binaries.e-book and to a lesser extent on alt.binaries.e-book.d. Much of the talk of DRM5 stuff was on the undernet irc networks.
I have been looking at the program to some extent, but it is a lot to disassemble. Since I wrote you, I have gotten this to work with the (DRM5) FiercePajamas.lit free ebook from mslit.com.
The Blackbox error is what I viewed when I move "cxlit.exe" away from cxlit-exe-manifest.sig file. I think it only tries to find the file in the same directory, if so your .sig file should be in c:\test as well.
The cxlit-exe-manifest.sig file, oddly enough, is identical to the msreader-exe-manifest.sig in the reader directory, so the name is probably significant somehow."
And then I tried again to convert the DRM5 ebook to a nonDRM5, and....
It Works!
It cracked the DRM5!
This is the screen capture of the process

Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C

C:\test2>cxlit drm5.lit nondrm5.lit
Converted "drm5.lit" --> "nondrm5.lit".
The nondrm5.lit is the perfect copy of the drm5.lit.
Amazing after all, now I can backup my purchase ebooks, and please don't ask the copy, it is illegal to distribute the downconvert version. Use it fairly (Fair Use) and only for your back up. Prove to them, that honest buyers do not cheat.
And please don't ask me to send you that small program.
ConvertLIT (Version 1.0)
This program has two modes of operation:
First, is ** EXPLOSION **, or the expanding of a .LIT file into it's component parts.
To explode, you type: cxlit litfile.lit \directory to explode into\
For Example:
cxlit dmr1.lit explode\
If the directory doesn't exist, you MUST place a trailing \ or / after it!
Second, is the DOWNCONVERTING of a .LIT file down to "Sealed", or DRM1 format for reading on handheld devices.
To downconvert, you type: cxlit litfile.lit newlitfile.lit
For Example:
cxlit drm5.lit drm1.lit
