Delphi: access violation when entering a line in an edit field?

Well, I’m learning to build in Delphi, and building crypto routines is fine until I try to parse ShortString into a text box.

The violation I get is as follows: Error http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/2410/43832949.png

The full code is here:

procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

var
len,keylen:integer;
name, key:ShortString;

begin

name :=  ShortString(Edit1.Text);
key := '_r <()<1-Z2[l5,^';
len := Length(name);
keylen := Length(key);

nameLen := len;
serialLen := keyLen;

asm

  XOR EAX,EAX
  XOR ESI,ESI
 XOR EDX,EDX
 XOR ECX,ECX


  @loopBegin:

        MOV EAX,ESI
        PUSH $019
        CDQ
        IDIV DWORD PTR DS:[serialLen]
        MOV EAX,ESI
        POP EBX
        LEA ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[key+EDX]
        CDQ
        IDIV DWORD PTR DS:[nameLen]
        LEA EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[name]
        MOVZX EAX,BYTE PTR DS:[name+EDX]
        MOVZX EDX,BYTE PTR DS:[ECX]
        XOR EAX,EDX
        CDQ
        IDIV EBX
        ADD DL,$041
        INC ESI
        CMP ESI,DWORD PTR DS:[serialLen]
        MOV BYTE PTR DS:[ECX],DL

        JL @loopBegin


end;

edit2.Text:= TCaption(key);


end;

If I put a breakpoint on the line "edit2.Text: = TCaption (key)"; I see that the "ShortString" key is indeed encrypted, but with a lot of weird characters behind it.

The first 16 characters are real encryption.

            ; This is obfuscation becasue the "MOV EAX, ESI" instruction could be written right here
            ; before the CDQ.
        IDIV DWORD PTR DS:[nameLen] ; We divide the current index by the length of the text
                                    ; to be encrypted. Once more the code will only use the reminder,
                                    ; but why would one do this? Isn't ESI (the index) always supposed to
                                    ; be LESS THEN nameLen? This is the first sign of trouble.
        LEA EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[name] ; EAX now holds the address of NAME.
        MOVZX EAX,BYTE PTR DS:[name+EDX] ; EAX holds the current character in name
        MOVZX EDX,BYTE PTR DS:[ECX]      ; EDX holds the current character in Key
        XOR EAX,EDX ; Aha!!!! So this is an obfuscated XOR loop! EAX holds the "name[ESI] xor key[ESI]"
        CDQ         ; We're extending EAX (the XOR result) in preparation for a divide
        IDIV EBX    ; Divde by EAX by EBX (EBX = $019). Why????
        ADD DL,$041 ; EDX now holds the remainder of our previous XOR, after the division by $019;
                    ; This is an number from $000 to $018. Adding $041 turns it into an number from
                    ; $041 to $05A (ASCII chars from "A" to "Z"). Now I get it. This is not encryption,
                    ; this is a HASH function! One can't un-encrypt this (information is thrown away at
                    ; the division).
        INC ESI     ; Prep for the next char


        ; !!! BUG !!!
        ;
        ; This is what causing the algorithm to generate the AV. At this step the code is
        ; comparing ESI (the current char index) to the length of the KEY and loops back if
        ; "ESI < serialLen". If NAME is shorter then KEY, encryption will encrypt stuff beyond
        ; then end of NAME (up to the length of KEY). If NAME is longer then KEY, only Length(Key)
        ; bytes would be encrypted and the rest of "Name" would be ignored.
        ;
        CMP ESI,DWORD PTR DS:[serialLen]


        MOV BYTE PTR DS:[ECX],DL ; Obfuscation again. This is where the mangled char is written
                                 ; back to "Name".

        JL @loopBegin            ; Repeat the loop.

Otherwise, I think you need to unload the assembler code to separate the procedure, so there will be no Pascal code that can also use registers. Please note that you will still need to complete the call protocol: not all registers can be used freely.
