One-Click iPhone App Cracker Released to the Public
Written by enigmax on February 01, 2009Crackulous, the one-click cracking application for software purchased from Apple’s AppStore, was previously only available to a select few. Now anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch can start cracking software purchased from Apple so that they can share them with their friends, since Crackulous has just gone public.
Recently we have reported on what can happen when iPhone software from the Apple store is cracked and made available to the public. In our articles we briefly touched on how these applications were cracked, via a piece of code known as Crackulous. This software removes the protection from iPhone and iPod Touch games and applications, to enable people to share them with their friends.
A project started by a coder named ‘SaladFork’, Crackulous was officially only available to a limited number of individuals, but it quickly gained notoriety as it makes the process of cracking software ridiculously easy. The successor to the more fiddly xCrack script, Crackulous is now being developed by ‘Angel’ and has a full GUI. All people have to do is buy an app from Apple and click a button, it’s that easy.
Although the software package was publicly released just hours ago, the source for this version (0.9) isn’t yet available. Crackulous is set to be released as open source software so that many people can contribute to its development, with original dev SaladFork commenting, “I’ve filled the source code heavily with comments explaining exactly what it’s doing and how it’s doing it. My hope is that Crackulous can be a learning resource for all the prospective iPhone developers out there, and will be able to revolutionize the cracking scene by producing a standard for application quality and functionality that can easily be reproduced to great effect.”
Currently a few people are reporting that they are experiencing difficulty getting the release to run, while others have no problems. There are also a couple of minor acknowleged bugs, but these are expected to be fixed shortly.
There was a hint of irony during November 2008 as the future of Crackulous was put in doubt. An early version of the software leaked out and SaladFork retaliated by threatening to cancel the entire project saying, “I personally think this leak is absolutely disgusting, and downright insulting.”
The latest version of Crackulous is now officially available from the Hackulous Cydia Repo. Expect it to become one of the most downloaded iPhone apps ever and, of course, Crackulous is free of charge. Let the app-avalanche begin – it could be a difficult one to stop.

Since apple don’t make the applications for the iPhone I seriously think they don’t give a shit. The only people this effects is the mobile developers who will now be making less money.
Cool.
A open source software that can crack protection with one click?
I would love to see the expression of the guys in apple when they see this (or have already seen it?)
I wonder what would be the apple reaction? Trying to ban the Crackulous or creating new protection for their software?
Hahaha this software is going to be a big big hit. Those guys at Apple deserves that. Lets hope the app works properly & is not a bogus one.
"force apple into rethinking the way of selling apps" What?? That statement is so stuffed full of stupid that it's hilarious. Most Apps cost less than $2. And anyway, who's going to be doing the re-thinking? You? Jesus, you people are a waste of skin. You all squeal and wave your sad little peckers in the air at the "fun" prospect of depriving developers of even the most reasonable amounts of return on their work, and yet if you were told to work for free and lose out on the paychecks that you blow on shit beer, doritos and cable re-runs of American Gladiator every Saturday night
I seriously laughed of this article. So funny that a one-click app can remove the protection of iApps.
Keep going, SaladFork :D
This is cool, I can imagine somone at Apple pulling their hair out… :)
This is great way to force apple into rethinking the way of selling apps.. But it's terrible news for iPhone developers!
I nearly read it as the cracking app was available at the apple store.
Now that'd be hilarious!
Please looool, if you see it on there, email me ;)
Now that is a nice tool to have
I wonder what would be the apple reaction? Trying to ban the Crackulous or creating new protection for their software?

Makes me want an iphone
They'll create new protection … however, if it's this ridiculously easy that one app fits all – what hope have they got I wonder? Expect a FLOOD of iphone apps I guess. Yippee!
FUN FUN FUN!
Good. Apple has been one of the biggest pushers of DRM.
madog, rather than remove your post entirely, I took the time to remove all the personal insults, flames and bad language while allowing you to still make your point. Maybe in hindsight that wasn't an 'intelligent' thing to do ;)
i wonder what roze has to say about this?
apple is not the biggest pusher of DRM by choice. it is therefor useful for you to inform yourself and read Apples statement on DRM.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/“target=”_blank”>http://http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/
and you *might* change your opinion.
right guys. wheres gonna be best to download all the apps that will be coming? any ideas?
Lame. You're not hurting apple with this, you're hurting small entrepreneurs some who have lost their jobs recently and are trying to find ways to eat. And what has apple done to deserve this anyways? Make a great phone that has lead to fun apps? This sucks. Anyone who uses this app is a jerk.
Guess I'll stop working on developing apps for the Apple App store.
I just don't understand what's so great about this. Out of all the platforms out there… iPhone development really is the only market that's currently dominated by indie developers. Yeah – EA and other big name developers are doing some applications… but by and large it's small/indie developers. I hate it when people try and take their anger of Apple, and then direct that at the developers. Also, I understand that most people (who aren't professionals) can't afford $500 to get Photoshop, especially when they're only using it for fun. If you can't afford $.99 for an application… how could you afford the initial cost of the phone? Or the internet that you're using? The answer is you certainly could – you just don't want to pay.
I would actually expect less iPhone apps as this will definetely decrease the prospect of a return for developers, i.e they wont get anything out of creating new apps
This doesn't it hurt Apple much at all.
The money Apple makes from the App Store isn't that important to them. They *want* lots of free apps to be available so that buying an iPhone or iPod Touch will be more attractive to potential customers.
This hurts the small indie developers much more than Apple.
What Bjorn and Nick said. There's not much difference between the DRM on AppStore apps and the serial key check in your normal desktop app, with the great exception that AppStore apps are a hell of a lot easier to manage for the end-user (that is, not at all) and completely hassle-free for developers. What is it that you feel you have accomplished here? Getting apps for free? Well, that's one good way to tell the platform's community of developers you don't want their work.
The one thing that sucks about the iPhone is the hard restriction on what you can do on the device, and that's already been solved as good as it can outside Apple with Cydia.
I can understand rationalizing downloading expensive software because you can't afford it, new tv shows because they won't be out in your country for half a year, music before there were any good online stores. But this? C'mon. $5? Or even $1? What's even the point? All you'd do by using this app is to ruin the platform, and then there won't be any more apps to crack.
This will lead to Apple working really fucking hard at trying to stop the iPhone Dev Team, instead of just lazily patching up bugs and exploits as they have been so far. Now there is a very, very good reason for them to patch it up real hard.
That means no more Cydia, no more NES emulators, no more iPhone Terminal.app. Good work.
Have you no ethics? Stealing a $0.99 or even $4.99 app? When free software began (I was there) the standard donation was $5. The App Store is the best thing going for small developers.
"I would actually expect less iPhone apps as this will definetely decrease the prospect of a return for developers, i.e they wont get anything out of creating new apps"
——————————-
your logic and common sense disturb me.
/flabbergasted
seeing all this logic and common sense on torrent freak is like walking outside to get the mail when you suddenly realize there's a unicorn eating your petunias.
hard to believe.

[Update] Okay, so it sucks that there are no demos, and not even videos. I had an idea a while back, and I will file a bug with Apple about it, that the App Store should require every developer to bundle a youtube video with every app, that should be playable in-store. It's really up to each developer to provide a demo or restricted version, though.
stealing?
it's "sharing"! and "sharing" is, of course, caring. when you "share" a developers work, what you are saying to them…is that you care. you care enough to use their work without compensation because your enjoyment of their product should be compensation enough. iphone apps want to be free, it's like, physics or something. if these app developers are greedy and actually want to make money from their hundreds of hours of sweat and turmoil, then obviously they should go on tour or sell t-shirts or something.
Well, well, well… looks like my post has been moderated… and not even intelligently… I guess the freetards don't like freedom quite so much when it involves showing up their so-called "philosophy" for the pile of infantile shit that it is.
was roze ever moderated when he was literally calling for blood and proclaiming mass assassinations to be a valid response against the entertainment companies?
So typical; you advocate theft and an utter disregard for the time, effort and creativity of others, and yet you demand respect while making no useful contribution yourself.
LOL. The sad point of 8 years of anonymous pilfering summed up in one brief paragraph. Well said.
The paybacks are coming; in loss of privacy, dpi, real-time filtering, licencing (only) for encryption, criminalization of infringement, caps, throttles, 3-strikes, fines and jailtime…….it's all on its way. And all because now even a $.99 app is "too expensive" so you hurt the little developer while you want us to believe piracy is a statement against greed. Don't ever forget to remember how much fun and private the network actually was before piracy.
Ha. Such moral-less asswipes pirates are. You'll destroy the network before this is settled, but you SO deserve EVERYthing that is on its way.
I think that is bad news for the entire community, both developers and users. More cracked applications will translate into higher prices for honest purchasers. You think $0.99 to $9.99 is a high price?
Perhaps you may have misunderstood enigmax's comment, but enigmax demanded intelligence, not respect.
If you are speaking of logic and common sense in MadDog's comment, it is nowhere to be found.
Just to clear things up for you, the industry like the MPAA and RIAA and its supporters are actually the ones who are in favor of the loss of privacy and the loss of the free transmission of information. File-sharers are actually not in favor of any of these repressive measures.
You are incorrect. According to a Gallup Poll on file-sharing, the fact that something is available for download for free does not affect most people's (above 80%) decision to buy some software or not.
I would suppose that it disturbs you only because fewer people have lost their senses enough to call it "logic and common sense" in the first place.
Tehcnically, all Apple needs to do is provide a list of serial numbers or UUIDs to the developer each time a purchase is made, and a refund is made; then, the developer can run a database for known serial numbers or UUIDs of the devices they want to approve the software to run on. Spoofing, and call home removal would come there after, yes; but that'd at least stop it for some time more, as each application can have different call home procedures at different locations.
do you mean the results from a single poll from over seven years ago? is that what you mean?
this just isn't worth the effort. there are only a few apps i would actually purchase & have done so. it's true, this is just ripping profits from the indies' mouth.
I don't know how you earn a living, but I'm guessing it's something along the lines doing X amount of work in return for Y amount of money.
I'm also guessing that if someone came along and "freed' you from receiving any money for the work you do, you would not bother doing that work for very much longer.
There is no intelligence in the celebration of this app's creation, only destructive greed and ignorance. Please don't ask for something of which you plainly have no conception.
In reality, for these applications to be free does not affect whether people buy them from the store or not, for the vast majority of people, according to a Gallup poll. It does not free the developers from their income. It seems like you have much less conception than myself.
It is a single poll, but it is not over seven years ago, because it is between six and seven years old. The margin of error was 4%, and the confidence level is 95%. There is no other poll to contradict this result as of now – certainly you are not able to come up with any scientific evidence to contradict this.
No, you're just in favour of taking what you want without any recompense to the person who created it because you're too greedy / ignorant / feckless / stupid / fucked up (delete as appropriate) to see how you're making every iPhone developer (you know, the people who actually *make* stuff worth paying for, unlike people like you) reconsider whether the investment of time will be worth it.
I'm not here to defend the MPAA / RIAA etc. They're idiots who don't have the brains to adapt. But that doesn't make the author of this app one of the good guys, either. He's just as corrupt and amoral as they are.
Ok, well I'll just come and help myself to some of your money. Don't worry, some hopelessly out of date poll says that as long as I leave the vast majority of it in your bank account, it's alright.
It *IS* alright for me to come and take something that belongs to you, right?
Like someone else said, with relation to this Gallup poll, do you mean the results from a single poll from over seven years ago? is that what you mean?
Please don't allow yourself to be blinded by your own idiocy. I'm a file sharer because I don't have the means to gain what software I need (N.b Necessity) for my studies. It is within everybody's means to pay app store prices, and the software is a luxury, never (really) a necessity anyway.
Only 15% of the impact of this will hurt apple; 85% will hurt developers (relating to the profits from what you're stealing). Don't fool yourselves by pretending it's all apple
"it is between six and seven years old"
You know you've lost an argument when you have to be *that* pedantic.
"The margin of error was 4%, and the confidence level is 95%"
*Sigh* there's so much wrong with your faith in that, that it pains me to think this level of stupidity exists. Yes yes, an objective, provable, empirically sound margin of error of exactly 4.141592654%; doesn't seem questionable in any way to me either.
Tool.
I'm not here to defend the MPAA / RIAA etc. They're idiots who don't have the brains to adapt.
And then…
taking what you want without any recompense to the person who created it because you're too greedy / ignorant / feckless / stupid / fucked up (delete as appropriate) to see how you're making every iPhone developer (you know, the people who actually *make* stuff worth paying for, unlike people like you) reconsider whether the investment of time will be worth it
… interesting.
So, how do you reconcile these two seemingly inconsistent statements?
Also, as shown by a scientific Gallup Poll, for it to be available for free does not affect whether people buy it or not.
You know you've lost an argument when you have to be *that* pedantic.
It is, sir, rather, sir, a sign that somebody does not take the argument seriously, sir, because this person realizes that the argument is somewhat pointless, sir.
Also, sir, if, sir, you want to disprove the law of large numbers and or the fact that the margin of error, for a fixed confidence level, is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, then you are the one with the burden of proof, because these mathematical principles, upon which this poll operates, is very much widely accepted.
Or, at the very least, come up with a more recent result that contradicts the results of this Gallup poll, especially since you have not provided anything better.

Well, sir, I must admit, sir, I was almost fooled when you, sir, have stated that you, sir, are a student, or, at least studying something, sir, but, of course, you, sir must be the same person as stfu/freetard/Reasoned Mind/MadDog… sir. After all, only you, sir would say that the results of the poll must have completely reversed because 6-7 years have passed, sir, without even providing any more recent scientific poll with a randomized sample, and a sufficient sample size (although it must be below 10% of the whole population, in order to ensure that the probabilities are independent), that contradicts this Gallup poll.
Only 15% of the impact of this will hurt apple; 85% will hurt developers (relating to the profits from what you're stealing).
Do you have any evidence to show that this statistic here was not just made up on the spot?
What evidence do you have that the results of the poll would have completely reversed itself between 2002 and now?
Also, sir, you, sir, do realize the difference between income and property, right, sir? For example, sir, businesses compete with each other all the time, sir, diverting the other companies' revenue stream, sir. It would be a stretch, sir to say that this is stealing, sir. In addition, sir, the results of the Gallup poll has stated that free availability would not divert the revenue stream in the first place, sir, since it does not affect most people's decision to buy it, sir.
I agree that this does hurt small devs, but you have to remember that this is Apple's fault for forcing people into using the appstore. If devs were able to release outside of the appstore, they would have to create their own protection mechanisms for the apps rather than use Apple's method. Then there would be no "One Program Cracks All" possibility, and each time a mechanism was cracked, it would only affect that company.
I do however expect Apple to have a new version of iTunes and the iPhone software out within the week to combat this though. If devs stop writing programs for the appstore or people stop buying, Apple loses lots and lots of money.
Maybe we object to the fact that Apple makes loads of money off of other peoples work and gives no way to sell apps but through them.
Well, sir, I must admit, sir, I was almost fooled when you, sir, have stated that you, sir, are a student, or, at least studying something, sir, but, of course, you, sir must be the same person as stfu/Sam I Am/freetard/Free Lunch Brigade/Reasoned Mind/MadDog… sir.

How is it ripping profits if there are only a few apps that you would have purchased in the first place?
How is it ripping profits if there are only a few apps that you would have purchased in the first place? Do you have any evidence that it would make people less likely to purchase any individual app?
any evidence? it's piracy dude, simple logic. in my case, there are a few other apps that i'm on the edge of buying (in particular spore & grind). i'd be very tempted to download 'em … and guess what. i've never pirated something and then went and bought it. i'm sure i'm not the only one.
of course, this isn't a site to have anti-piracy tone, so bury me away.
Indeed, one of the biggest concerns is that it places these independent developers on a dependency on and control under Apple. How could one call them "indie" when they are under Apple?
It does not strike at the independent developers; it merely strikes at Apple.

This is an illegal copy of Crackulous. You can buy it legally at http://www..crackulous.net. This version steals all your credit card info,and other sensitive data. iPhone users be very careful.
Actually, evidence has shown, in a Gallup Poll, that for something to be available for free does not affect whether people buy something or not. Most people who download would not have bought it anyways.
"There is no other poll to contradict this result as of now – "
————————————–
as usual roze you are completely wrong. i would think you'd be getting tired of being corrected so often, but you're like a little puppy, dumber than hell and always eager for more…
i was just going to ignore you because harping on a seven year old poll is pretty asinine and not really worth spending the time to refute but i've seen you mention like ten times in the last two days as if it was some kind of concrete, golden fact that puts to shambles the entire anti-piracy sentiment so hopefully this will get you shut up and help you to stop being so obnoxious:

oh, and it's not from SEVEN YEARS AGO like your example, this one is from last year. here's a choice quote:
"The numbers show that 63 percent of those in the UK and 77 percent of those in the U.S. would have purchased the DVD in question if they hadn’t been able to copy it."
roze there's a poll from last year that refutes your seven year old poll's findings. here's a choice quote:
"The numbers show that 63 percent of those in the UK and 77 percent of those in the U.S. would have purchased the DVD in question if they hadn’t been able to copy it."
if you'd like to read more just type in "many people would buy if they couldn't copy" into a search engine of your choosing.
(that better mods?)
Real good… now people like me that live off their sales get to suffer for it… real nice .. good going.. idiots.. you're not hurting apple.. you're hurting every small developer out there… it's comical that you can afford an iphone but can't afford a few $0.99 apps … and they're proud of this?! yeah real good… gonna go down in history as a thief.. high marks … ok back to work.. :-P
The iphone is great because of the easy to use apps. This will kill app development. So if you have an iphone, why would you use this. Shame really.
easier to crack -> more cracks -> more people know about cracking (beginners) -> less sold apps -> less money for apple.
This leads to:
a) new protection, so all already cracked apps cannot be used, phonehome
b) (as already noted) faster decline of the platform "appstore" for developers
you shouldn't have released that.
you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, do you?
No, you are absolutely wrong. I've written hundreds of articles for TorrentFreak (useful contribution?). I have NEVER advocated theft, not once, not in ANY article. Ever.
roze, this must be the thirteenth thousandth time you've mentioned this (seven year old, out of date, irrelevant) poll in the last three days…
it's seven years old. you were probably only seven years old when it came out. it's not indicative of today. kindly stop your obnoxious spamming.
a new poll, less than a year old, shows the exact opposite. i'd post a link but every time i do, the link gets mangled and the post ends up being moderated/deleted.
"So, how do you reconcile these two seemingly inconsistent statements?"
What, that's it? You think because I'm against the MPAA at al, I must therefore be in favour of stealing someone else's work? Two diametrically opposed, mutually exclusive viewpoints is the best you can do?
You're not very good at this, are you?
Its not so much the cracker whos the bad guy here – as a developer myself it would be an interesting challenge.
The only way this is going to have any effect is if other people actually use it. (And if they do, THEY will be the ones stealing from the indie devs).
Its like the people who complain about the bad language in a tv show – if you don't like it, change the channel. Likewise with this, if you're not a a-hole, don't use it. :P
Roze, please stop talking about polls like they are some kind of scientific evidence.
I dont understand that application makers are making this..

Er yeah great. This doesn't hurt Apple, it hurts the garage developers out there who have worked their nuts off to be able to release apps and games to the general public at low cost. How is that great? I'm currently working hard on my own app, but if it's just gonna be cracked if it's at all good, and I don't have an opportunity to make any money from it, then why bother? I'm all for the open source cause and all that but come on, I'll have been slaving over this project for 6 months. This is an insult to independent developers everywhere and there is nothing noble about it at all. If iApps continue to be cracked easily then this will see the death of innovation by independant developers out there who were, at one point, able to give you quality content at low price.
If you have even read the study, you would see that most would buy only a few of what they have pirated, and only for a lower price than is currently offered. It does not contradict the earlier poll findings.
Yes, it is scienfic evidence, especially when it is done by Gallup.
The new poll does not contradict the old poll. If you have even read the results, it has shown that in most cases people would still not buy if for those who have downloaded it.
Considering how you have made an illogical analogy, I would say that the same would be more true for you.
I'm against the MPAA
And then…
stealing someone else's work
Yep, you are touting the same line as the MPAA et al. Like it or not, you are espousing the same thing as the MPAA.
Do you have any evidence that sharing harms the sales of anything? Most people who download would not have bought it anyways, and it does indeed help the exposure of an app.
really cool!!!
I love how Roze keeps repeating the same nonsense … whatever helps you sleep at night i guess… it's just rationalizing stealing… "well .. uuh.. the poll says.. " gimme a break… i could rationalize things too.. i bet old people probably don't drive all too much (gallup) so it's probably ok to just steal their car.. cause they probably wouldn't have driven it anyway… and i worked really hard on my apps…. and i hate some pimply faced prick with a "noble cause" giving it away for free… come on.. it's $0.99…
"The vast majority of these copiers admit they would
purchase at least some of the titles on DVD if they had not been able to copy them – clearly
indicating the significant levels of lost revenue due to home copying."
Please don't pirate my app.
Nice job.

For those who pirate, this may seem like a good thing. But it seems to me that now Apple will get *very* serious about making jailbreaking/cracking methods difficult. It's one thing when users pirate Mac software, but pirating iPhone apps is literally stealing from Apple (as they get 30% of the cut).
http://www.woopid.com/“target=”_blank”>http://www.woopid.com/
All i got to say is if 1 program can really crack all their apps someone needs to lose there job cause thats just sad.
now somebody please create a one-click skript to hack the iphone’s mobileinstallation framework. (so i can send it to my friends, instead of doing it myself)
This is pathetic, a majority of the apps are between 1-5 dollars. If you can’t afford that, you don’t deserve an iPhone.
All this hurts is the amateur developers.
What Apple do need to do is moderate what is actually added to the App Store. There is soooooooo much crap on there that one would NEVER buy. Shithouse UI design, pointless features, and pointless apps.
