Hello, I ran this tool and deleted the attend data, but when I ran the exe, no error, no open, nothing happened. I use this tool again to check it again, it said:

Scanning -> F:\Games\COD2TC\CoD2SP_s.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 1789952 (01B5000h) Bytes
[!] Safedisc 4.60.000 detected but verification not successfull
assuming exe includes a faked Safedisc version or it has been cracked !
[!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> cdkey
- Scan Took : 0.828 Seconds


so was there anything wrong with it? Thank you.

you mean appended data?

if so, why did you delete it, chances are the protection/crack needs it

like tippex said, the appended data is part of the safedisc protection.

u thought you can crack safedisc when removing the appended data?
it´s not that easy. u need a debugger, bypass the anti-dbg, get to the (hardcoded) oep, dump, fix imports, fix redirected calls, recover stolen bytes and rebuild the exe.

this safedisc discussion made me have a deeper look at it ;)
i´ve coded a better version detection when the version is removed.

here´s a list with a few games without any version info:
Flatout
Knight Rider 2
Need For Speed Underground 2
Need For Speed Most Wanted
NHL 2006
NBA Live 2006

i´ve only seen EA games without version info in it...

now you´ll see the version, not 100% exact but better than before (v3.20 - v4.xx or newer) ;)

Hi mate,

good to here you are making progress.

I have got two questions:

1) When will the next "public" be released ?
2) Will it also detect the most common app protectors/packers (I think, you know what I mean: Das Gürteltier mit all seinen Facetten, z.B.)

yeah the Armadillo protection has been improved a lot. PID can detect versions like v4.00 - v4.05, v4.10 - v4.20, v4.30, v4.40...
i´m also thinking about detections if some arma features like Import Elemination, Debug-Blocker, Copy-Mem2 etc are used.

during the following week.
no big changes thou, "just" updated and improved detections.
v6.0 will be the big one ;)

REALLY ??

Oh man, that sounds fantastic. I don't know how this could be coded, but anyway...when you tell me it does, I think I can rely on you :D
Detecting certain arma versions (e.g. 4.10 and NOT 3.78-4.xx, like PEID does) would already be rather cool, but detecting IAT elimination, CopyMem II, Code-Splicing, Nanomites, etc., would be..................
well, I am speechless

Can't hardly wait to see this tool "in action".

I cannot expect it... :)

v5.1 is ready to download :D

The last public version (v5.0 Final c) was released 14.12.2004.
Right after releasing it, the development of v6.0 has began and still continues.
Now we release v5.1 to keep you up to date. No core changes, just some files from v6.0 alpha thrown into v5 ;-)

protection id is going to be more than a pc-game protection scanner in the next release. the most important application protections are already be detected in this version. a lot more will follow later.

heh just noticed my post count beeing at 1111 ;)

Well done buddy. Nice work as usual. ;)

Yepp, just tested it on some Arma, AsProtect, Aspack, ExeCryptor etc. files.....very, very nice work.

Many Thanx, dude!

:D :D He he made me giggle. (I have been banned for advertizing) straight to the point Jor forster.

seems like it´s time for v5.1b ;)

Tages detection is broken in Act Of War High Tension.
seems like a new version (v5.4.x.x ?) or a custom one.

also i´ll include "TryMedia ActiveMark" and "KochMedia ePolice" detection cos they´r used in lots of "digital download" versions of pcgames.

the armadillo / asprotect detection will also receive an update to recognize the latest version.
