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

[krondike]

hehee sorry about that, but just saying, becuase it's crashes, don't do "any new" things to the Protection ID it bring some new bug and fix some old bugs
Sound like Bill Gate....anyway... should we say, download at your own risk?

Hi,

i'm using your ProtectionID tool for quite some time now and i'd say: "GREAT TOOL" !!!

It's really great and i just want to encourage you to keep up your good work.

Besides, i have a somewhat offtopic request: I've got my hands on a program protected with ASProtect 1.23 and as you seem to have some experience with protections, maybe you can help me with it? Or you know someone? E-Mail or PM me, please.

You still got a problem (report it earlier don't know if you was taking notice) your protection ID gui, sometimes remains after you scan a .exe file (when you hit the context meny.

If you run protection ID (without context menu) and find your easter egg (what ever meny) you can't close it in the X mark! You must quit the program.

Da**it should seen it earlier!

(This should be fast fixed (becuase it's not big buggs - thinks protection ID is somehow still loaded in the memory when you after you scan then when you click on the mouse on the background it dissapeares) or do you waith to PiD 5? )

Another Scanner has hit although it's in it's infancy it is detecting tages, securom and safedisc.

[cdkiller]

i´m sure u mean the A-Ray Scanner.
it´s a nice tool for scanning the cd, still in beta but can be a good detection scanner in the future thou.

i would say my scanner is completely different...
both tools are coded in different programming languages.
A-ray scanner´s goal is to scan the cd and check for game protections while my tool scans the protected exe/dll/dat directly and also checks for executable protectors and encrypter used in applications.

maybe the future shows a big surprise for both tools

Protection iD is now exactly one year old on february 1st 2004.
It´s constantly updated to detect all at the moment availabe PC Game Protections and most of the EXE / DLL protectors.

The final v5.0 still requires much coding, testing and bugfixing, so i decided to release my current Beta
(and maybe some more soon...) on the net to give you the most accurate detection possible.

greets to all my friends for all the effort you put into my tool, making it what it is today, one of the best Protection Scanners.

here´s the changelog:

v5.0 BETA 3
----------------
quote from Tages developer: 'A tool that is able to detect correctly a TAGES™ protected CD does not even exist'
answer: sorry i was busy with other protections, but here we go..
btw, did u heard about A-Ray Scanner ? greets R!co ;-)
