Ok, so after years in the programming in various languages I decided to venture into ASM. I did it at university, very little of it, so I understand it to a certain degree.

I was following a tutorial on cracking software. It's not something I'd want to do, but learning how to do it definatly gives you a deeper insight into things.

Anyway, sort of hit a snag.

I disassembled the software I'm attempting to crack. At start up it asks for an email address and password. The software validates online. So anyway, I took some text from the dialog that popped up and searched for it in W*2Dasm and it returned nothing.

The string I was searching for is "Verify!" ... its what's on the button. I tried other strings that were on the dialog box, and still nothing.

All I'm seeing is lines that say:

* Possible StringData Ref from Code Obj -> "Verify your account"

The question is, why wouldn't the string be there in the code? Something I'm missing?

Thanks. Appreciate any comments.
