Lockpick 64 is cracking/parameter program. The image I have is from a ‘Snapshot’ file, which does not show any company information on it. Anyone know more about this program? Is it related to the Lockpick books?

Kracker Jax Trilogy
Kracker Jax Trilogy contained the three Kracker Jax Revealed books in one.
See the Hack U, ad on here for more info. This is a must have book if you are interested in Commodore copy protection schemes. Also includes information about ‘Rapidlok’ copy protection. Also V-Max! protection. This book can also be found today in PDF format on Commodore search site.
Kracker Jax
Kracker Jax disk series blast disk protection from your disk. I have disk version from 1 to 7. Each one would contain about 100 parameters. Also included a ‘Fast Copy’, which appeared to be the same on the Geosbuster disk.
Keymaster
Keymaster was a program by Jim Drew. Included copier and the Keymaster which unlocked protected disk by removing the protection schemes on them. It included 50 Keys and updated included 25-50 more. There was three KEY’s (parameter) Disk released. They are known as the #1 the Blue Dot, #2 the Green Dot and #3 the Red dot.

Hack U
Hack U – a school for higher learning. Included the CSM Newsleter Compendium, CBM Protection Manual and Kracker Jax Revealed Books. These can all still be found today in PDF version. Use a C64 search engine to find them.
Geosbusters
Geosbusters was a utility to crack Geos software. You could easily copy a Geos disk, but the first time you ran your original Geos disk if would write a two byte serial number on it. Next time you load the program if the serial number doesn’t match the disk would reboot. Read Lockpick #2 for tons more info on Geos protection. This ad was for version #3, but I have also seen a version #4. The disk also included a ‘Fast Copy’ program. When I ran it, it was the Fast Copy by Kracker Jax, see the photos below.
