crack

   [warez d00dz]

   1. v. To break into a system (compare {cracker}).

   2.  v.  Action  of  removing  the  copy  protection from a commercial
   program.  People  who  write cracks consider themselves challenged by
   the  copy  protection measures. They will often do it as much to show
   that  they  are  smarter  than  the  developer  who designed the copy
   protection scheme than to actually copy the program.

   protection  of  a  program  or to uncripple features from a demo/time
   limited program.

   4. An {exploit}.
