Protection ID info thread - v6.4.0 (build 08.07.2010)

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

[!] Safedisc 4.60.000 detected but verification not successfull
assuming exe includes a faked Safedisc version or it has been cracked !

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.)

Das Gürteltier mit all seinen Facetten

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.

When will the next "public" be released ?

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
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".
