Hi,

I am looking for a good packer that will protect my .exe from unpacking. I am talking with asprotect about this product asprotect64bit and they say it will protect against unpacking most definitely, is this true? I don't want to spend $200 or so on it to find out people can still unpack my client .exe.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

You do know that the executable will be unpacked in RAM when it runs, right? Cant run encrypted data, only code.

Virtualization to actually add another layer of annoyance (something "between" userland tools and the target) will definitely stop the most people... but it only takes one person to distribute the right stuff.

- If you're making a single-player game, players are going to hack it.
- If you're making a multiplayer game and hacking the client allows cheats that affect other players, then the game is insecure in design.

Rydian is right! If it's single player, then don't worry about that which you have no control over (other people and what they'll do with bits loaded in to their RAM Wink

)

If it is multi-player, well then you don't have much to worry about since you will be controlling all variables that mean anything on your server(s). Just make sure your servers are secure!

So to directly answer your question, the best packer is NONE! Very Happy

No packer is the best packer. Packers are lame, they just make your game/application slower to load up with no real benefit.

EDIT: Just saw your post after I was in the middle of typing mine... In that case use a custom encryption perhaps? Encrypt the encryption key with a custom encryption? Then if they find the key it still wont work as they'll need to go a step further. In any case anything you do really would just be to slow a person down, or prevent a beginner from being able to pull it off. The advanced will be able to regardless of anything you might do. I don't think anyone will really want your models anyway, ask yourself what could they do with them? Make a mod or something? Well in that case they'll probably instead replace your models with their own.

ok, so the packing is not because of security but because you're afraid that people steal your 3d models? (assuming it's 3d, it'd be ridiculous if it was a 2d game)

If so, it's wasted money

direct3d hooks that work at runtime (or a modified d3d dll) can obtain all the data about the 3d models they need to reconstruct it. or hook the place where they get loaded in memory and then backtrack to the source of the model present in memory, perhaps even with the original file format making things even easier)

I recommend you edit the models and place a giant "This model belongs to <your companyname>" on every characters forehead. That way you can see when someone steals them and use it for themself
