That forum post is an uncredited reprint of the years-earlier MSKey Readme [1], a brief history of which I've outlined in the first footnote on this blog post[2]. [1] https://bbs.kanxue.com/thread-10032.htm [2] https://tinyapps.org/blog/202304230700_xp_wpa.html

It's so odd to me that people are trying to RE an executable here. Like if I cracked a crypto system just for community credit I'd rather blog the algorithm than release a closed source executable. Seems to happen a lot in these cracking communities though.
