I needed a small project to brush up on some C# programming, so I wrote this in a few hours. It's a program that parses your encrypted Halo CD key from the registry in case you've lost it.

Halo CD Key Recovery Tool

(Note: The CD key above is not real)

Lost your CD key? This program can help you if you've already installed Halo on your computer.
Your CD key is stored encrypted in the computer's registry. This program parses and decodes the digital
product ID, leaving you with your original CD key as it appeared on your CD case or manual.

Download the program here.

Instructions:

To use this program, simply download the .exe file and run it. The CD key will appear automatically.

Note: You must have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed in order to run this program.

Original inspiration came from -Laser- from a thread of his on the GBX forums. I ended up using different process than he did, but I figured this was a useful thing to be able to do, and doing it by hand was really quite a pain in the ass.

Awesome man, this is going to be really helpful for alot of people.
I remember my CD-Key from the top of me head =p

Awesome. =D

How does it encode it, is it MD5 hash because that would be impossible to get back into a key, words are hard enough :P

Actually you did it the same way but oh well.

nice ghosty

I think rec0 found a way to get CD keys from key hashes iirc, but of course a method like that should absolutely not be public.

As for the application, I don't see me needing it, but it's still cool

What? You can't even see the code. How do you know how I'm doing it?

[Rescudo]

He could have disassembled the program... - but for some reason I doubt he did.

hehe, nice app, I actually glued my cd key to my keyboard, but this will come in handy

+ rep for joo, in return, I want as many red boxes as you can.
