Keygens (Short for key generators) are awesome tools created by 1337 haxx0rz with far too much time on their hands, most likely because they have no life. Keygens are a necessity for anyone looking to get softwarez. $600 for Flash MX? Fuck that shit nigga, why pay ridiculous amounts of money to The Man when you can just get it for free? No, srsly, 99.9% of all programs can be gotten for free with keygens.

ZOMG VIRUSES LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

However, some people are out there to spoil the lulz that keygens provide by advertising them as keygens, when in fact they are spyware or viruses, some of which can infect your boot sector and render your hard drive unusable and lead to loggedy loggedy keyz. NEVAR, EVAR DOWNLOAD KEYGENS FROM KEYGEN SITES. THEY ARE VIRUSES. DOWNLOAD THEM FROM TORRENT SITES, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

Some keygens display a crappy visual effect while playing an equally crappy chiptune created with Fasttracker 2.

How they work

Keygens request a certain field of information that the software you are getting the key for also requests. Based on what you entered it generates a valid key.
