* How create crack archive?

Use zip/rar. With rar you can use password protection.

Along with content provide these files:

 * .nfo - crack team logo, info about content, enjoy greeting.
 * .url - internet shortcut file.
 * FILE_ID.DIZ - plain text file containing brief content description of the
   archive in which it is included.

** .nfo

Old .nfo use code page 437. New .nfo file use ISO-8859-1/ISO-8859-15 or
Unicode UTF-8 characters.

* Crack intro.

A crack intro, also known as a cracktro, loader, or just intro, is a small
introduction sequence added to cracked software, designed to inform the user
of which "cracking crew" or individual cracker was responsible for removing
the software's copy protection and distributing the crack.
