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

[cdkiller]

new version released.

v1.1
----
* when scanning a Safedisc unwrapped file, the Safedisc version wich was used will be shown
* improved scanning for English & German CD-Check messages
* first scanning for English CD-Check messages, than German messages

[krondike]

I've have test the scanner a little bit.
These problems have I found out.

Battlefield 1942 1.3 (Road to rome exp) cracked .exe, CD-Checks found, no CD-checks are.


James Bond Nightfire cracked.exe file. SafeDisc 2.8 found. (cracked.exe aren't safe disc removed?)

Suggestion. U are tipping how U can crack the game. Why can't U first search like U do now, and then look if the file is patched or not? like with jmp that U tipping.
When they found a unwarped file. It's only goin up to 2.6 (U should write it so everyone knows)
and it's only the unwarped file U got question if U want to scan for CD-checks. Why can the question bee for every protection.
And if it found CD-Checks first then ask for SafeDisc scan.

Just some sugestions.

ok i will install BF1942 RTR + Nightfire and have a look at the executables.

James Bond Nightfire:
when scanning the Bond.exe a message will pop up wich says:

------------------------------------------------------X-
File WAS protected with Safedisc 2.80.010
But the Protection has been unwrapped.

Scan for CD-Checks ?
---------------------------------------------------------

cosaverystoned**********com

[cdkiller]

if anyone has a game executable wich is protected,
but my filescanner don´t recognize
please let me now.

the version 1.2 BETA detects the new Slovak Protector.
(used in ArxFatalis 1.16a.exe).

anything i should add for future versions ?
just tell me.

[krondike]

O sory I mean Nightfire 1.1 patch. Not Nightfire 1.0, 1.1 I mean. Sorry I forgott to write that. Slovak Protection have I never run in to, so I gues I don't see any difffrent.

[cdkiller]

version 1.2 fixed all the safedisc problems !!!
it also detects if safedisc was unwrapped or not
(99% working!).
even in fixed executables from GimpsRus / Fairlight
who don´t riped sections inside the exe

still needs some tweaking,
but should be released today...

[cdkiller]

1.2 released :-)

* detection for Slovak Protector (thanx to Mplayer Warlord for the ArxFatalis 1.16a.exe)
* detects if a Safedisc protected file was cleaned by GimpsRus and Fairlight
* scanning for 5 more CD-Check strings:
- "Please Insert" (Street Legal)
- "Check CD" (Drift: When World Collide)
- "InsertCD" (Iron Storm Launcher)
- "Insert CD" (Safedisc unwrapped Nightfire Bond.exe)
- "cd-rom" (Safedisc unwrapped C&C Renegade Game.exe)

The best protection scanning tool available !
What about an unCDcheck function, so we can transform a Fixed-EXE into a NoCD ?

[cdkiller]

a uncdcheck function is hard to realise.

[krondike]

I've got files that the scaner are saying I'm having Cd-checks wich I'm not having...

[cdkiller]

this bug can´t be fixed.
cause it scans for cd-checks strings, wich are always in there.
in normal files and also in nocd files

[cdkiller]

it get´s even better with every future release
now the nasty SecuROM bug is also fixed !

v1.3
-----
* added scanning for CD-Checks in cracked Safedisc - Executables by Fairlight (their releases are often protected with CD-Checks !)
* able to detect if a cracked Safedisc - Executable was cracked by Deviance / Fairlight / GimpsRus / MYTH
* able to detect if a cracked SecuROM - Executable was cracked by Deviance / Fairlight / GimpsRus / MYTH
* fixed some lines in SecuROM detection code (found SecuROM 4.xx.xx in a SecuROM unwrapped file is now fixed)

[krondike]

I've gonna test it right away
