I know I said I wouldn't be doing this again but ... I had some spare time, decided to patch ARM64 again but for both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge this time. Below are the patched variants for both x64 and ARM64. I may have patched them wrong (as I've no way to test so verify yourselves). Yes you'll need to resign the file for it to work as expected on MacOS.

Sublime Text v4118 MacOS (x64 + ARM64)

These are the patched IDA offsets shown using a mapped base of 0x100000000 instead of a file offset for Mach-O ARM64. x64 offsets are in my above post.

1F 20 03 D5 = NOP
E0 03 1F AA = MOV X0, XZR
C0 03 5F D6 = RET X30

Sublime Merge v2062 MacOS (x64 + ARM64)

These are the patched IDA offsets shown using a mapped base of 0x100000000 instead of a file offset for Mach-O ARM64. x64 offsets are in my above post. With this one, mov x0, xzr isn't correct since 281 is required to be the correct return value. mov x0, #281 instead works fine.

Yes, I realized I accidentally omitted the offsets here but the patched bytes and original bytes + the provided file should be enough for you to get them. Sorry about that.

Maybe this time I'll actually not do this again. 😄

@bms8197 For MacOS M1, it looks like both X64 and ARM64 need to be cracked to boot? I read that for the x64 and ARM64 parts of ST (I presume) are actually the same as what @leogx9r gives

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@maboloshi ST for Mac uses "universal binary" which contains the applications for x64 and ARM64. Only the ARM64 part must be patched in order to run on Mac M1. But you can patch both if you want.

Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe commented Oct 17, 2021

@leogx9r thanks for your patch. I do hope you still have some time to rest.

@maboloshi I compared the patched ST (from @leogx9r) with the original file and saw that the patch you proposed is correct. The only difference is that his file contains both the patches for x64 and ARM64. So, the patterns I gave you for 4114 still works with 4118.

Then why your patch failed on @bms8197's machine? Because you made a typo when you change your patcher's output to a nanny script. You wrote \x5 instead of \x5F in the patch for license check, and it crashed ST.

You should write patcher like I did. It's harder to make this kind of mistake.

@maboloshi

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I saw the cracked binary file provided by @leogx9r and I changed it. Probably other platforms are also applicable.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@maboloshi I think it still works the same as before.
When @leogx9r add the patch for Disable License Notify Thread, leogx9r said Simply return 0 here to disable.

If you looked carefully, you'd see I added two additional things, disabling the crash reporter (which sends telemetry back to the server, not something I personally like) and also disabled the "phoning home" method when a new license is entered. The phoning home method can potentially be used to detect you cracking the application (as it'll send invalid info, also containing your unique identifier) and you may get your IP blacklisted, hence I've decided to disable it entirely, I also recommend you guys do too, just in case. If you'd like the patterns for that:

# Sends the HWID, license Information the moment a license is entered to the server for logging.
# Most likely used to detect when a license key is shared across too many systems with differing HWIDs.
# Simply return 0 here to disable.

I asked leogx9r about return values, and the answer is that any value is acceptable, the return value isn't actually used (except the function for license checking)

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe It does have the same effect. The function returns the value of pthread_join() or something similar. I didn't see Sublime Text/Merge use the return value but decided to have it return the proper value anyways for consistency (which upon research seems it required zero so I guess I documented that wrong).

The only function you really need to have a return value is for the license checking function, which requires zero always. The rest are basically optional. The return value isn't actually used (based on my reverse engineering) on the other functions.

Edit: On Windows it returns the value of CreateThread() which requires a non-zero value to indicate success. I originally patched this on Windows so I used the same method for Linux/MacOS -- they instead use pthread which requires a zero value to indicate success, so I guess that's where I got mixed up. So you should ideally return 1 on Windows (or any non-zero value) and 0 on Linux but it doesn't matter really since the value is never used.

Thus, leogx9r uses ret 0 all the time, while you use ret all the time. And it still works fine.

@maboloshi Apologies for the delay, was quite busy these past few days. Your offsets align with mine so all seems good. 👍

For the record in case people need them, here's the new patterns for Windows/Linux (x64) for the invalidation/validation functions that work on v4121:

    Linux x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x5) BA ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B B7 ? ? ? ?`
              Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? BF ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 83 25 ? ? ? ? ?`

    Windows x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x6) 41 B8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B 96 ? ? ? ?`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 4C 89 F1 E8 ? ? ? ?`

MacOS (x64) patterns remain the same.


@bms8197 Sorry, when I said "remains the same", I was referring to x64. I don't have my patcher wired up to work on MacOS so I've no idea if the same method would work. I'll see if I can get some free time to do MacOS ARM64 this weekend since it does take much more time to do it manually than automate it as I've done with x64, no promises though -- I'll have to see if I can fit in about 30 minutes.
