How to pack gunz for ollydbg.

[Trilest]

How do you pack your theduel.exe for ollydbg ;O ?

Thanks in advance <3

Packing Gunz is one thing, protecting is another - I'll assume you want the former, therefore, I recommend UPX for compression.

I got my antihack for protection. I just want it to be packed so you can't open it in olly or hex editor ..

Never use UPX, use a protector, UPX is shit, all know it, UPX offers the unpacking tool, too
so, its bull shit..

Use ASProtect /Themida or other good protectors ; )

Packing won't protect you - obfuscation of sorts is what you want.

I'd virtualize anything of importance, use a unique string loading algorithm (Decrypting strings to registers/the stack - not in the file itself), and pack it with UPX, for compression.

UPX is fine for compression, as I stated before - it's NOT supposed to offer protection, as I clearly stated.

ASProtect is terrible - it unpacks fully to memory; Themida is still easy to unpack with a mere software breakpoint (Restoring the IAT being equally easy).

We don't all have the same knowledge as you - unpacking an exe is pretty hard for one of us.

Back on topic, I recomend ExeCryptor. (This is my recomendation - there is better.)

Unpacking an executable is "pretty hard"? Most executable packers are written for compression, and unpack entirely to memory - I fail to see how dumping from memory constitutes as "hard".

Also, EXECryptor hasn't been updated since 2007, and dozens of articles have been written on defeating it thus far.

So final conclusion, what should I do to stop people opening my runnable in ollydbg / hex editor or any other edit program?

As I previously stated, a combination of obfuscation and virtualization (For the virtualization/obfuscation, I've been working my own custom solution - if you don't have access to a dev who is capable of such a project, I recommend VMProtect).

Ok, thanx
I'll look for VMProtect

[ZeroCold]

I choose for UPX. But it don't secure it. It just pack it.

gWX0 The VMProtect saves the new runnable as Theduel.vmp and when I want to open it it says file corrupted..


I want it to be packed for ollydbg and hex editor but that I can still use it. .
