Are crackers skilled programmers?

[metalmackey]

Hi Folks,

I think I can post this as i'm not saying iys legal or linking to dadgy sites

Are the people who make cracks for games and other apps great programmers? Or, is it that copy protection on most games is poo? If its the latter, why bother to have it if its cracked in a week or so?

Thanks

Can't the .exe be encrypted so its near impossible to decompile?

So if they say AES takes thoundands of years to crack, how cme the encryption on theese games are cracked so fast?
