They gotta be trolling now. As maboloshi already found out, the patterns have reverted as well as the method to patch it. For whatever reason they decided to change 1 as the valid value back to 281 as it was before. I'm curious whether subsequent dev builds will use the "new" method or they'll keep to the old method.

Regardless, the offsets maboloshi updated match mine as well so it'll work for all OSs.

@leogx9r can you point me how to read RVA offset using python without IDA?

@leogx9r can you point me how to read RVA offset using python without IDA?

For example：SM 2059 for mac

About "License Validity Checking":

Use "E8 ? ? ? ? 3D ? ? ? ? 75 14" pattern, Position to offset:
0x290EC-->Read The next 4 bytes: CA D0 FF FF -->Byte Flip: FF FF D0 CA -->Complementary offset： 0xFFFFD0CA
hex(0x290EC + 0x5 + 0xFFFFD0CA - 0x100000000) --> Target offset: 0x261BB

Other patterns are basically a direct binary search. Individual patterns may need to be shifted by a few bytes

Ah!... So easy.. thank you @maboloshi :)

Here's a C&P Python method that I'm using for ya:

# Converts 4 byte chunk of a bytearray() into a 32-bit Little-Endian encoded integer.
def LE32(value):
    return value[3] << 24 | value[2] << 16 | value[1] <<  8 | value[0]

# Calculates an absolute offset from a relative virtual address using a base offset and instruction length.
def RVA2ABS(base, rva, instruction_len):
    return ((base + instruction_len) + rva) & 0xFFFFFFFF

How I've used it:

       offset = pattern.locate(self.binary)

       # Check validity of pattern
       ...

       # Add any displacement required by the pattern
       offset += pattern.displacement()

        # Calculate the absolute offset from an RVA instruction if required.
        if self.rva:
            # The RVA value is stored after the first byte relative to the found offset as a 4-byte LE integer.
            rva = LE32(self.binary[offset + 1: offset + 5]) # Reverse byte order due to CPU encoding
            offset_abs = RVA2ABS(offset, rva, 5)            # Get true offset from referenced pointer
            print("[*] Found RVA pattern for \"{:s}\" at 0x{:X} -> 0x{:X} -> 0x{:X} ..." \
                .format(self.name, offset, rva, offset_abs)) if log else None
            return offset_abs

        # Not an RVA so no additional calculations required
        return offset

The instruction length is always 5 bytes here because the patterns that I use reference a CALL instruction which are 5 bytes long.

@leogx9r thank You very much for examples.
Seems to be working.. I need bring together boxes and I'll have it. 😎

How to crack it for Linux?

Any commands like this:
cd /opt/sublime_text
sudo sed -i 's/\x97\x94\x0D/\x00\x00\x00/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\x55\x41\x57\x41/\x48\x31\xC0\xC3\x0/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\xE8\xAC\x82\x18\x00/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\xE8\x91\x82\x18\x00/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\x55\x41\x56\x53\x41\x89\xF6/\x48\x31\xC0\x48\xFF\xC0\xC3/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\x41/\xC3/' sublime_text

sudo sed -i 's/\x55/\xC3/' sublime_text

I tried this, but now Sublime won't open at all.

@lowendgamer You seem to have no clue what that sed command does. It replaces all occurrences in the file with a predefined sequence. Because you attempted to replace \x41 and \x55, both function prologues that are present in MULTIPLE functions unrelated to just license verification, you essentially corrupted the executable. Why not use the bash script maboloshi made for Linux? It works and if you're using Linux, you should already have printf and dd.

Literally enter this in a terminal for v4113 and it will work:

printf '\x48\x31\xC0\xC3'                 | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x0036567C)) conv=notrunc
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90'             | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x0035BCCB)) conv=notrunc
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90'             | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x0035BCE6)) conv=notrunc
printf '\x48\x31\xC0\x48\xFF\xC0\xC3'     | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x00367171)) conv=notrunc
printf '\xC3'                             | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x003653CE)) conv=notrunc
printf '\xC3'                             | dd of=sublime_text bs=1 seek=$((0x0034F5F0)) conv=notrunc

@abranasays You can't do this. Snaps are squashfs images, which are by definition read-only. This problem of yours is not the problem that should be solved here

Sir, Then How Can I install Sublime Text 4 without Snap Store ???

@abranasays You can't do this. Snaps are squashfs images, which are by definition read-only. This problem of yours is not the problem that should be solved here

Any Solution???

@abranasays Either extract the files, patch them and rebuild the SquashFS image as a snap or install the application via apt the way Sublime Text recommends.

You can try to use commands or scripts to patch in the terminal. my sublime version is 4113. I use the script to patch sublime_text, it work perfect , but it can’t be modified manually using hexed.it, and the app cannot be launched just like you.
