Have you ever written a program/game and now want to protect it against cracking, hacking, modifying, changing... You tried many, many encryptors and protectors but each could be decrypted/unprotected while just using CUP386, GTR, Iceunp and some other ! Even SS,GA,CS 1.02, HS 1.18... can be removed with them. It's time to change the protector : Use TRAP ! TRAP does not encrypt your files, it will 'only' add AntiTraceCode to your file to hang up/reboot any 8086/80386 Tracer/Debugger existing. So you need to encrypt your files with an other encryptor like : Protect,Xpack,HS,GA,WWPack,Compack,AVPack,ICE,RJCrush,Jam,PKLite... or any other else. Ŀ 2 TRAP stops the following GenericUnpackers/Debuggers: - GTR 1.90 (and any other version) - CUP386 3.4 (including all hacked versions) - ICEUNP - AUP386 - IUP - XO (-C) - TR 1.92, TR 1.97 - Softice - Winice - Debug/TD/TD386/TBClean... *AND ANY OTHER* Ŀ 3 Can trapped files be unpacked by REAL unpackers too ? No! If you pack your file with LZEXE and now protect it with TRAP it cannot be unpacked by UNP or UNLZEXE. This was possible before using TRAP. This happens because these 'real' unpackers do not recognize the file anymore. Ŀ 4 Very important! TRAP ShareWare does NOT support EXE files! If you register TRAP you'll be able to protect both EXE and COM files. The Anti GTR code has been fixed now - it runs under Cyrix without problems and kicks GTR 1.90. Ŀ 5 How secure are files wich were protected by TRAP ? It should make tracing/debugging very difficult. Of course the hacker could just 'NOP' the code out. But TRAP can't be modified that easy because it uses several (in S.W. only one) random encryptions to make 'NOPing' of AntiTraceCode difficult. Ŀ 6 How and why should I register TRAP? Registered users get the full version of TRAP with these futures : Both EXE & COM files are supported ! Better protection (several different encryption layers,even more traps) ! The complete version of INSIDER.FAQ ! A switch to disable including the ' TRAP ' string ! The registration price is very low : Send me 30 DM and you'll get the newest reg. TRAP available. ! You see it's worth to register so don't wait before it's too late !
