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

[cdkiller]

it will be released next week. tages seems to have a newer version (v5.4 ?) within spellforce 2 (+ patch v1.01) and act of war high tension patch 1.

i´ll prolly include some new and more improved app detection like nspack, enigma protector, exestealth, molebox, themida...

another new detection is Sysiphus, this protection is a joke it seems.
lots of read errors to fool burning apps but just a simple GetDriveTypeA routine to check the disc. not even antidebug...

BTW gorgeous program

thx but without the help of a good m8 PiD won´t have this success, it isn´t coded just by myself.

is being and will (hopefully) be put into creating this great piece of software

yep of course

Hi

I have try your tool, but on Desperados2 Coopers Revange he say no protection found. Why he not find the protection used in the .exe file ?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Perhaps, because it's not protected by any of the known commercial copy protections? Doesn't the documentation of ProtectionID tell you what to do in such a situation?

[cdkiller]

prolly new tages v5.4 or higher also seen in Panzer Elite Action.
next week i´ll release pid v5.1b wich detects Tages > v5.3.

[DIDDL]

I have hear that the game have Tages but i not know what for a version.

I wait then for the new version

Thanks
