(I think they are of popular interest) WG> Just being in the middle of developing my very first shareware utility, I WG> was thinking about some kind of protection, and fortunately it seems like WG> your proggy could be the answer. I read the documentation several times, WG> and it is not clear to me what you mean "Commercial Usage", the WG> registration of which is 70DM. If I write a shareware program, protect it WG> with HackStop (after registering, of course) and disrtibute it, is that WG> commercial usage? That's right: If you distribute HackStop'ed files you'll need a registration of HackStop. Well you can use the normal "registered" or the "personal" version of it. (BTW: I will remove this sentence, it's confusing) >> Thanks! What version do you test? HS 1.13 will be availiable in a few days! WG> I experimented with version 1.11. I am looking forward to take a look at WG> the new version. Where can it be downloaded from? If you send a short mail to rar@fh-albsig.de you will be added to the hackstop distribution list, receiving Antivir stuff as well from me. You'll get allways new version now via Email. But I download every week the newest version at the Lionbox BBS (Germany). So if you want you can get it from there. For other adresses and BBS's see ROSEBBS.TXT WG> none of them were able to beat HackStop. Congratulations! Thanks! What version do you test? HS 1.13 will be availiable in a few days! WG> Also, one more question. I have a good friend who would like to know if WG> there is a Windows version of HackStop. Or are planning to develop it? Maybe, but you can not encrypt Windows Resource files. And there are different file formats between Win 3.0, 3.1 and Win 0.95. So if I plan to develope a HackStop/Win version it will be only for the Win32/NT file format! VT> Do you have any program that can remove Protect! 6.0 for EXE? Yes a beta version. Or use CUP/386, UPC etc. A lot of unpackers can bypass Protect 6.0. VT> I got WWPACK 3.05 beta 4, and I saw that it uses some anti-debuggin' VT> tricks! Do you think is better to use them before HackStop? Nope, most of the Anti-Debugging tricks are taken from HackStop. There are a lot of unpackers for WWPack, at least you can use CUP/386 or UPC too. VT> How can you recognize if an EXE was processed with Protect! 6.0? VT> There are apparently no signals! Take UnProt from my Untiny-Package to detect Protect 6.0 protected EXE files. ID> I tried using the shareware version in a DOS box under Windows 95 ID> but it hung my machine. I was however able to use it on DOS 6 Let me guess: You use HackStop 1.17b4 or below? I fixed a serious "segment violation" bug in HackStop'ed EXE files, which triggers W95 and NT :(( ID> There is only one other concern. My program makes use of Int1 and ID> Int3 interrupts and I am worried that the HACKSTOP program will ID> interfere with my own. Is this the case or do you release these ID> interrupts when the protected program is allowed to run? Sure, everything will be restored _after_ HackStop has done it's job! ID> Can you tell me how I can obtain a copy of radfaq from the www or ID> ftp. I loaded a copy from ID> http://www.smoss.org.za/prog/antihack.htm but the rar file ID> appeared to be corrupted. A search failed to find it anywhere ID> else. 1.) It's a rather old version 2.) it's RAR packed, which causes Netscape to garble it! 3.) Try to get the newest version at SAC ftp (see ROSEBBS.TXT) - Should be rADFAQ 1.05 or so.... ID> Please ignore my previous email about problems with Win95 I ID> realise now what the problem is. ID> I was running on my development machine and it never occurred to ID> me that just by having SoftIce loaded in my autoexec file would ID> cause hs.exe and any protected files to crash. Ok that's true.... HackStop doesn't like SoftIce to be loaded.... :) HackStop is incompatible with SoftIce :) ND> I'd like to register HackStop (the 30DM method). How much would it be That's fine :) ND> in USD? Can I send it to you in a registered envelope? About 20 USD... I see you're from Hungary... so if you want you can also send me the mount in Swiss Fr. (20 SFr) or in "Oesterreiche Schilling" (200 Sch)... You don't need to use a registered envelope - but it's more safer! ND> Can I sell my program protected by HackStop if I register it? Sure all your programs protected with HS (but not HackStop.EXE itself)! AB/b/> I'd like to ask you if you could send me some of your executable files AB/b/> protection/unprotection programs that you haven't released (for e.g: AB/b/> REC) or if you could send me some sources in this subject. Thanks in AB/b/> advance for your help, keep up good work, your programs are still the AB/b/> best, bye: No i can't... it's policy NOT to release source code. Even REC.EXE is unavailiable to the majority... only for registered users! All unpackers can be downloaded at SAC ftp, see ROSEBBS.TXT [to be continued]
