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

would be nice if you can help me improving this tool
and finding bugs

iīve written this tool,
cause there is no other available wich detects the major protection alll together.

protection ID scanns exe files for:
* Safedisc
* SecuROM
* Starforce
* VOB Protect CD
* Laserlock

next version adds support for even more protections and
detailed securom and safedisc version.

get it on my website -> Download Section

Hehe if ya want to know, it don't work with Windows XP Longhorn. Ether do SafeDisc Unwarper by Boolseye.
But it is about 2 year for the final releas. So U got very much time. Or it is a bug in Windows. I don't know.

Nope. I can se the start box, where U thanks peoples. But when I press OK. The thing dissapering/exit.
On the bOOlsEyE:s, Unwarper I can start the unwarper, but when I press on the unwarp button, the program dissaper/exit.
I've try to the emulation, en press in Windows XP, and still there is a problem.
I've try to the emulation for Windows 98 and still there dissapering.
So it's somthing wrong with the programs, so it can't go for Windows XP Longhorn.
BUT! It also can be a bug in Windows XP Longhorn. Becuase it's plenty of bug there.
For example U can't download anything with Internet Explorer that is larger then 50kb, becuase if it is, U get a error message. Forbidden thing. So I most use getright.
But that's It's a hole other story.

But to be focus, try to see if there is any bug on the source code, that can eject/exit it self, for example in Longhorn. Maybe more and I have problems with a diffrent OS.

Some suggestion.

Now I've tested in Windows XP SP1.
Nice program. Hopfoly I can be a part to cange the appearens, becuase I've have a few requestions.

I've tested to look what protection Harry Potter 2 has. And it just saying SafeDisc version 2. Not more. Couldn't the program be more specific?

And if I want to look up for more, couldt U do a menu like.

So I can look the proctetion for more than one file. With out restart the program. and if I can't see a protection I can open a new file and don't start the program again.

The menu could have things like these:
Open file
Exit
About

And the program could'nt see if the .exe was clean or not. So U can have like boolseye, when I try to unwarp a unwarped file. It's say like. It's was found a SafeDisc string, but how ever the file seams to be clean.....more one...

Just a request, could be cool if U do these for the next update.

my site isnīt down. i uploaded the files for 3 mins.
just sometimes itīs not available...
try again later

i know about the cd-checks problem
---------------------------------------------
- it scans for a software protection (sd, securom, starforce,vob)
- if no protection was found, it looks for
GetVolumeInformationA and GetDriveTypeA (cd-check apis)
- if nothing was found it looks only for GetDriveTypA
this can be in all apps like in ICQ.exe or Notepad.exe
- this can also be a string inDivX503Bundle.exe

but i will boost it up.
iīm now looking scanning for strings like:
"Please insert the original cd"
"Disk not found"
...

next version supports safedisc 3
and a much better laserlock detection

AND use it only on game executables and it will work fine !!!
