@leogx9r I'm trying to do the patching with a hex editor, but can't understand why the first pattern in your walkthrough is E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0:

Make isLicenseValid return 0, pattern is a reference to call isLicenseValid. I personally just replaced the method with xor rax, rax; ret so 48 31 C0 C3.

    Linux/MacOS x64 Pattern: `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0`
    Windows x64 Pattern:     `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8B 8B ? ? ? ? 85 C0`

and in your ready-to-use script it is completely different - 554157415641554154534881EC68240000:

For Linux x64 on v4107, you can use this (replace /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text with the path to the binary):

# 554157415641554154534881EC68240000 -> 4831C0C390909090909090909090909090
sed -i 's/\x55\x41\x57\x41\x56\x41\x55\x41\x54\x53\x48\x81\xEC\x68\x24\x00\x00/\x48\x31\xC0\xC3\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g' /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

@lepotic You'll need more than a hex editor to use those patterns efficiently -- you will need a disassembler like IDA or Ghidra, like I mentioned I used above.

E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0 like I mentioned, is a pattern that will give you another function that contains call isValidLicense. You'll need to jump to the function it references to find where you need to patch. Aka those 4 bytes after E8 contains a relative offset to isValidLicense. That's something you'll need a decompiler to find easily.

When you jump to that function, the start of it will show you 55 41 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 53 48 81 EC 68 24 00 00 which is not a pattern, it's the actual bytes that make up the function isValidLicense. That "pattern" as you called it, will only work on v4107 and nothing more or less and will only work on Linux x64, the Windows/MacOS versions will not contain that sequence. The pattern to find that referencing function however, should work on more than v4107 (and earlier versions too).

direct reference sig refers to the pattern not directly pointing to where you need to go, it points to a reference, eg. call targetFunction or jmp targetFunction etc.
direct reference sig (+0xABCD) is similar to the above but you need to add 0xABCD to wherever you find the address to reach your target reference.
raw sig refers to the pattern pointing to directly where you need to go.

SOLVE version 4107 final
You must add the following lines in your host file

0.0.0.0 sublimetext.com
0.0.0.0 license.sublimehq.com
0.0.0.0 45.55.255.55 #sublimetext

Can you please tell me - do you already have keys for version 4 for Windows 10?

@lider33 4107 = version 4

Build 4107

• AMD64: https://www.upload.ee/files/13167341/sublime_text_4107.92_amd64_patched.zip.html
  Just register with the Twitter license. No hosts or firewall needed. No upgrade.

Thanks @n6333373. Confirming it works great on Linux Mint 20.1 with sublime text 4 4107. For reference, the binary needing replacing is /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

/opt/sublime_text$ ls -la sublime_text*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8429232 Jun  5 20:22 sublime_text <--(cracked)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8429232 May 20 02:03 sublime_text.bak <--(old binary)

Funny the binary sizes are identical.

Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa
Base: Ubuntu 20.04 Focal
Kernel: 5.4.0-70-generic x86_64

Also confirmed working on Windows Server 2016
OS Name: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard
OS Version: 10.0.14393 N/A Build 14393

For the record, Sublime Merge can also be defeated the same way. Did the same on v2056.

License Validity Checking

For this, the only difference with Sublime Text is you need to return 281 instead of 0. I just did a simple mov rax, 281; ret.

    Windows x64 Pattern: `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 3D ? ? ? ? 75 15`
    Linux x64 Pattern:   `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 3D ? ? ? ? 75 12`
    MacOS x64 Pattern:   `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 3D ? ? ? ? 75 14`

Invalidation/Validation Threads

    Windows x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x6) 41 B8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? B9`

Proof

Can you please provide Linux commands for Sublime Merge(like in case of SublimeText)? I would really appreciate it.

@karrgozeyan You can try this, according to the method provided by @leogx9r

# for Linux
cd /opt/sublime_merge
printf '\x48\xC7\xC0\x19\x01\x00\x00\xC3' | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A0C9C)) count=8 conv=notrunc
 
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90' 			  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A3761)) count=5 conv=notrunc
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90' 			  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A377C)) count=5 conv=notrunc
 
printf '\x48\x31\xC0\x48\xFF\xC0\xC3' 	  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A2096)) count=7 conv=notrunc

@maboloshi Thank you very much, that worked for me.

Does anyone experience ST lost all user settings after upgrading to v4107?

@naml3i I lost all my open notes, however, my user settings didn't reset

@brian6932 for me it's quite the contrary: all the opening notes are still there, intact, but the settings were lost (thankfully I have a copy of the file on github but still feel a bit confused with this update. Normally with all the previous update, it went smoothly).

I realize that right away because the font face was changed and the caret was replaced by a long, non-blinking one.

@naml3i I think they change where the data is stored. the sublime 3 store the settings at "%appdata%/Sublime Text 3/", but the sublime 4 store the settings at "%appdata%/Sublime Text/"

@duckimann not sure if that's the case of uninstalling ST3 and doing a fresh installation of ST4.
For me, ST4 still starts in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Sublime Text 3, settings are stored in
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Preferences.sublime-settings

@naml3i weird. on my computer it creates a new directory which i mentioned and discard the old one.

how to do it on Linux? thx

Worked :)

Thanks @leogx9r :) I have my version on powershell here, tested on windows 10 x64, run as administrator (if sublime text/merge is installed)

This works for most of the Sublime Text 4.X x64 (Including 4107) - block the license check via host or patch it out of EXE

Hi. Do you know the correct replaces for x86 32bits version?

Thanks @leogx9r :) I have my version on powershell here, tested on windows 10 x64, run as administrator (if sublime text/merge is installed)

@thegrapevineprogramming can you try my script above? Run it as administrator, patch the sublime and input anything to the registration box

Does this work on Sublime Text 4 x86 32bit version? Because I've already managed it successfully on the x64 version. I just want x86 to use on another computer. Could you just pass me the code to find and replace on x86? Thank you.

Sublime v4 does not have x86 version on windows i believe... soooo that means you have the sublime v3 and you can use the license include in the script + using hosts to block the license check

You don't need to do the host patch, if you're replacing the license check in the exe (the 2nd search/replace)

I've also whipped up a quick python script for it, if anyone wants, you'll obviously need python installed..
save as whatever_name_you_want.py (and put it in same folder as sublime_text.exe) and run it, or run it from command line.,.. python .py

with open("sublime_text.exe", "rb") as binaryFile:
    byteData = bytearray(binaryFile.read()) 

# create backup
with open("sublime_text.exe.bak", "wb") as binaryFile:
    binaryFile.write(byteData)

# search for rsa key function
byteData = byteData.replace(b'\x41\x57\x41\x56\x56\x57\x55\x53\xB8\x28\x21\x00\x00', b'\x33\xC0\xFE\xC0\xC3\x57\x55\x53\xB8\x28\x21\x00\x00')
# search for license host check
byteData = byteData.replace(b'\x6C\x69\x63\x65\x6E\x73\x65\x2E\x73\x75\x62\x6C\x69\x6D\x65\x68\x71\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D', b'\x73\x75\x62\x6C\x69\x6D\x65\x68\x71\x2E\x6C\x6F\x63\x61\x6C\x68\x6F\x73\x74\x00\x00')
