When a user runs software protected by KeyAuth, the client application sends an encrypted request to KeyAuth's API. The server responds with a status (success, invalid, banned, etc.). If successful, the software unlocks its full functionality.
Since KeyAuth relies on a server-client exchange, attackers may use tools like Burp Suite to intercept the server's response. If the server sends a JSON response like "success": false , an attacker might change it to true to fool the local application into unlocking. 2. DLL Hijacking and Memory Patching
