Furthermore HackStop has > different levels of encryption to stop tracing or analysing at- > tempts on protected programs. HackStop is the most advanced exe- > cutable protection program of its type that you can buy to keep > your programs from being altered or reverse engineered!

HackStop uses a variety of different anti-debugging tech- > niques, therefore ANY unpacker I know will crash when trying to > trace through HackStopped programs. [...] > In my opinion it is NOT possible to trace HackStopped programs > with a real-mode software program! Additionally HackStop uses op- > code and normal encryption, so it could take days to disassemble > the code! If you have a program with is able to remove the protec- > tion added by HackStop: Please send me the program and I will send > you an enhanced version of HackStop! [...] � hmpf, this guy talks too much, but I think he fairly did well in explaining what Hackstop is all about. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]release note[ Some friends were teasing me since XHS wasn't updated to the newest modification in Hackstop. So what the fuck - do you think i have nothing better to do than playing around with every little new modification made by the author of HS? It's a piece of stupid dumpshit crap not noteworthy! My time is rare thus i explain you in short words: this release of XHS will be more or less *DEFINITLY* the last PUBLIC release. Yeah! Rose, you can easily modify your Hackstop and every unpacker will fuck up. But what will you do if XHS remains unreleased - just available for a few people who want to safe roughly 10secs time for unpacking?!! Rose: > The requirements to run HackStop are basically zero: DOS 3.0, an > IBM PC with 128 KB, etc... I can run this program on my 8 MHz XT > and I have done much testing of HackStop on even this lowest com- > mon denominator type of machine, to make sure that HackStop will > run on every type of computer from 8088 to Pentium and beyond. Hoho, i guess now it's time to raise up the requirements ;-> tHE riDDLER 1996! 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]hints[ � Since there are different & modified versions of Hackstop floating around, XHS has different ways to check for the existence of a hackstopped file. � If XHS cannot find a signature you are asked to continue or not. Please note that a backup of your file is recommended. � Hackstop doesn't save the exact file size of a com file being encrypted. A deprotected file can differ in its size from the original. Since a com file contains an absolute image of a program and ms-dos loads the com program by copying this image directly from the file into memory one or two bytes more take no effect on the program itself. � HACKSTOP V1.12cs can only be unpacked with XHS in a non-protected-mode operation system environment (e.g. windows...). Don't ask me for details; it has something to do with the privilege allocation between ring0 and ring3 apps. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]what's new?[ 1.1a->1.3 � unprotects exe & com-files protected with Hackstop v1.12cs (just to show the useless of hs!) � somehow *definitly* the last *PUBLIC* version of XHS :(( 1.1 ->1.1a (03/27/96) - never released � fixed a bug which caused XHS to output undefined ascii chars instead of a correct error message. � fixed a bug which sometimes calculated a file size being too small for unprotected com files (hmpf....). � added other analysing methods ;) (1.1->1.2 - released by Predator666) � added other analysing methods � interrupt restoring bugfixed 1.0�->1.1 � fixed a bug which caused XHS to set a wrong breakpoint sometimes :( � added COM support! 1.0� � first public release of XHS!! � written in one day - thus beta without thoroughly testing. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]XHS has been tested with:[ � Hackstop V1.10� � Hackstop V1.11 � Hackstop V1.11c � Hackstop V1.11f � Hackstop V1.11gs � Hackstop V1.12cs � several modified versions of Hackstop 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]coming soon...[ � another piece of crap version of Hackstop... 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� ]greetings[ Marquis � watching "married with children" at night is kewl!
