If you can understand what is being done in Linux, and you can translate that in Windows then you are good to go ;-).</p> <p>We begin by downloading the crackme. Before opening any crackme, I recommend you to scan the file for viruses on <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload">Virus Total</a>. Even though all crackmes are checked for malwares before being accepted, it never hurts to stay cautious. Sometimes Virus Total gives false positives too, so make sure to check whether the executable is packed or not before executing it because sometimes packed executables are detected as malwares by some AV softwares. I&rsquo;m telling you this <em><strong>becuase this happened with me</strong></em>, while I was solving my third crackme!</p>
