Software piracy! Cracked serial numbers! Thousands of commercial
products are posted on the warez sites and become available to all
every day! Companies lose millions of dollars every year to software
piracy, and faulty protection programs.  Shareware developers look for
unbreakable protection for their products and create some protection
themselves or try many of the ready-made tools. Unfortunately most
tools have already been cracked, and self solutions often only take one
determined cracked a few hours to bypass. As a result they soon find
the stoles keys and product cracks on thousands of hacker Internet
pages.
No solution ? Well there is

  It is time to turn to the uncrackable, time tested, EXECryptor
protection product. EXECryptor is a powerful software tool that provide
developers with software protection from reverse engineering, analysis
and modifications. Its main difference from other protection tools is
its brand new metamorphing code transformation technology.

With EXECryptor the protected code block is not just packed or
obfuscated like many other packers, but also disassembled into
nondeterminate transformations, effectively scrambling the visible
logical code structure and making it impossible to reverse. After the
code transformation, it remains executable and working as it is
supposed to but it cannot be analysed, modified, or circumvented.
It is not just a question about code encryption but also code
transformation.  You can optionally wrap additional parts of your code,
at a source code level, in special flags which then transform into
virtually impossible code to trace, crack, or bypass. Protected code
blocks are never decrypted during execution they remain in their
transformed code state. Code restoration becomes an NP-hard problem.
EXECryptor has the innovative very powerful antidebug, antitrace and
import protection features to stop the latest cracking software.
EXECryptor allows to use short registration keys of 12/16 characters
long, based on a new generation of our HardKey algorithm,
cryptographically strong ultrashort digital signature.
The power of software protection with EXECryptor is proved out in
practice: despite  numberous cracking attempts and challenges, the
EXECryptor's 2.x series has not been cracked since its inception in
July of 2004.
In addition to its advanced protection features, EXECryptor allows you
to compress the code and resources of your application.
EXECryptor is able to protect any 32bit PE executable file (exe, dll,
bpl, vxd, wdm). It has been tested with W95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP/2003. SDKs
are available for Delphi, C++Builder, Microsoft Visual C++, LCC,
PellesC, Visual Basic, PowerBASIC and PureBasic.

What's new in this version :
* added sdk and example for IBasic
* improved antidebug and antitrace
* improved: compatibility with MS signcode tool
* improved: PowerBasic 8 compatible
EXECryptor is distributed electronically over the Internet; free trial
version is available at http://www.strongbit.com  for evaluation.

* Operating system: Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003
* RAM: 32 Mb
* Hard Disk: 2.5 Mb

Spammers are funny. Multipost to every group known to man and make
ridiculous claims such as the one above.

$M0FHA.2***@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl:

I agree Ken, it is ridiculous, as we all know, ANY protection can be
cracked. Look at all the companies that based their protection on FlexLM.
Then out came FlexGen2000, which could generate flex license files with
very little additional input.

The authors of CuBase SX3 thought it was uncrackable. The problem was,
according to some reports, that 30-40% of the code checked protection which
really affected performance of the program itself. And now a cracked
version is out.

Well, if you think EXECryptor can be cracked please try to find though
one EXECryptor 2.x crack (launched ;ore than 1.5 years ago) or just try
to crack it yourself :)

Well as I lack ASM skills, there is no way I could do it, and I never
said I could.

I would try to find a program that was protected with EXEcryptor, and
cracked, but I haven't typically seen any s/w author saying what kind of
protection is used within their programs on a products web page.

Claims of being invincible protection encourage crackers to do so, as it
is taken as a challenge.

As I mentioned in my post, CubaseSX3........

"Although everybody thought that Syncrosoft and Steinberg had found the
ultimate protection, we prove otherwise. We admit that it's  getting
harder and harder  to do and this  one may possibly be the last one we
do.

Due to the complex nature of the protection we thought of  approaching
it from another direction. The Emulation is  now done on  driver-level,
which means  that the Emu essentially mimics  a dongle,  look in  the
License  Control Center to view the applications the Emu  supports. By
writing the Emu  at driver-level we probably went beyond cracking an
application. The amount  of effort invested in this project is staggering
, estimated at over 1500 manhours  during cracking,  developing & 
testing, and  probably will never be done again."

Note this link also, on a previous version of EXEcryptor (which I'm sure
was also touted as un-crackable):
