7.3 Changing the CGD password (using the password tool)

Overview

This utility modifies the encrypted password stored in the Microvolts client executable that's used to protect the cgd.dip archive. The tool can:

1. Locate the current password in the executable
2. Decrypt and display the current password
3. Patch the executable with a new password

Features

1. RC6 Encryption/Decryption - Uses the same crypto as the original client
2. Offset Searching - Can find password location automatically
3. Non-destructive - Creates patched copies rather than modifying originals
4. Interactive CLI - User-friendly command interface

Usage guide

Basic Commands

# Find and show current password
/try_find_password

# Find password at specific offset (hex)
/find_password_by_offset 0x00bd0c70

/find_offset_encrypted [ENCRYPTED_HEX]

# Search for password location (decrypted)
/find_offset_decrypted [CURRENT_PASSWORD]

# Apply new password
/patch_password_by_offset [OFFSET] [NEW_PASSWORD]

Password Requirements

• Must be exactly 26 characters long
• The password will be RC6 encrypted automatically, you just need to provide a plain-text one.

2. Find password offset (if default fails): /find_offset_decrypted MyCurrentPassword123456
3. Patch new password: /patch_password_by_offset 00bd0c70 MyNewPassword12345678901234
4. Verify patched file:

/chpath Microvolts_patched.exe
/try_find_password

Building

Requires:

• C++17 compiler
