A 4am and san inc crack      2018-08-15
---------------------------------------

Name: Stepwise Multiple Regression
Genre: educational
Year: 1980
Publisher: Belanger & Boyle
Platform: Apple ][+ or later
Media: 5.25-inch disk
Sides: 1
OS: DOS 3.3
Previous cracks: none

This disk was automatically cracked by
the development version of Passport
(dated 2018-08-14), using a new module
by qkumba that handles this protection.
It stores encryption keys in unused
bytes of each file's track/sector list,
which are then used by the RWTS to read
that file's sectors from disk. Each
file has its own keys, so we get to
parse the DOS 3.3 disk catalog on track
$11, follow each directory entry, make
a map of each sector's encryption keys,
and write out the unencrypted version.
Then we patch the RWTS to ignore the
encryption keys.

Here is the transcript:
