It’s not that I don’t trust, but I want to understand. What is actually happening and how do these Repack thingies work?

And why are they called that 😂

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks so much for the replies all, I think I got it! :)

Cracking something doesn't mean you created the Crack, it means you applied one. Automating the process for most people is a separate topic. Most pirates know they're there for convenience.
