v6.2.3
-
bugfix: check_starforce.asm - starforce 'crap output'
bug fixed
- update feature - updated to show version number on update as well, instead of
some 'strange' number
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.2.2
core additions / changes
- new: incorporated PEiD / PE Tools database usage
-> additionally displays the protection
found via the userdatabases
-> peid database is expected to be in the
same folder as protection id
and should be called
peid_database.txt
-> petools database is expected to be in
the same folder as protection id
and should be called
petools_signs.txt
- enable/disable: go to Configuration
-> Allowed Scanning Types -> peid / petools (3rd party scan)
- once enabled you can browse
the signature files when
clicking the
'Extensions' tab (second icon from the bottom right)
- note: in cases of multiple
hits, the highest probability is automatically figured out and reported
- new: work
on compiler detection began
-> The compiler detection simply reports
what compiler was used to make
the executable, It can also
sometimes report the programming language
the executable was made
with.
current detections: dotnet, visual
basic & visual basic.net, some visual c/c++,
borland c++, delphi
enable/disable:
Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> Enable Compiler Detection
Scan
- new: tooltip preview (configurable option in the settings - under the gui
portion)
- new: added in drive type reporting in the misc tools section
- new: added in option in configuration to dedicate 1 cpu to scanning core (if
multiple cpu's are found on the system)
- new: added in little pause/resume button in the main dialog (green circle
when you load pid)
- new: added in activity reporting on hdd reads, pid is so quick though, you
may not notice it,
but
on large files, its useful because its an indicator pid is doing
something
- update: turned on scan inside microsoft cab files as default
- update: added more informative comments into pe
stuff
- update: file queue now reports the amount of files it has processed
- update: updated detection routine to report dll compiled in native mode
- update: folderwatch cleanup now works and reporting
is handled correctly
- update: updated version info core to handle 'strange' exes with fucked
version info,
or version information that version.dll does
not 'see'
- update: fixed some imports so that pid now loads on windows nt 4.0 (and
probably 3.x)
without the system throwing an import missing
error and exiting the process
- update: services now disables itself if the os is 9x/me (9x/me doesnt have
'services')
shares also disables itself if the os is
9x/me (api not present in these os'es)
- update: gui -> cd/dvd tools and the folderwatch buttons are now
automatically disabled if
the operating system is windows 9x/me (ie:
less than windows 2000)
- update: folder location shell32 output now made
9x/me compliant(old comctl32.dll listview issue)
- update: added in minimize to systray if its set in the configuration
if set, pid will minimize itself when its loaded for the first
time
- update: added in another handler for smbios, its
quicker, but only available in vista or higher
- update: windows product key updated code, now should be good for all windows
versions except nt 4.0
- update: windows product key is now also reported for 9x/me
- update: updated code so that windows 95, windows nt
3.x and nt 4.x do NOT have ownerdrawn menus
(95 couldn't handle them
properly anyway, and nt 3/4 had issues too)
- update: added battery reporting into misc tool window
- update: dep reporting done in misc tools
information section
- update: fixed icons in 9x looking too big (now pid looks the same in
98, me, 2k, xp, vista)
- update: pause / resume is now properly functional
- update: added in pause checking into the cab file handler
- update: progress bar resets once scan is complete
- update: added in animated rect for sizing (work in progress)
- update: added tooltip to sizer window
- bugfix: fixed 9x/me crash (bsod) issue in petools stuff
- bugfix: fixed crash issue when viewing reloc
information on some x64 files
- bugfix: silent exit / crash issue fixed in
win2000 server
- bugfix: fixed position saving bug (reported by Blazkowicz)
- bugfix: fixed os detecton (win nt was detected as 2000)
- bugfix: fixed the strange drag -> drop, file added to queue but scanning
not started bug
- bugfix: fix for buffer overrun error when saving a protection log containing lots

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v6.0
if you ever used an older version you will experience a totally new tool
with v6.0.
pid got a major overhaul on it´s GUI for a new and very easy using experience.
many protections have been added and tweaked for maximum detection speed
and as much accuracy as possible with the new core code additions.
Dongles, Licenses, polymorhpic protectors and Installer detections are just
some of the new additions...
our goal is it to release a very easy to use tool for detecting all kinds
of protections.
pid is easy to use for newbies due the cd/dvd scan and drag & drop feature.
reverse engineers will also benefit when using protection id due the
detailed informations
like multiple protections in one file, detection of nearly all protectors
(commercial and freeware)
and more injformations like appending data etc...
we hope you will enjoy the new generation of our tool :-)

scanning, just a cosmetic fix)
- removed: PE Bundle generic detection (heh it could be fooled too easily)
- removed: Krypton [generic] detection (version checks will do a better job)
- plus many minor fixes and improvements i can´t remember anymore ;-)
[ -= NOTES = -]
Dongle detections: to check
commercial applications for a Dongle protection, we recommend to use the folder
scan.
we know Dongle protections aren´t widely used in most apps but the usage of
Dongles in 3D/CAD/CAM
applications is growing.
examples - AICON 3D Studio
v3.6.00
- Hardlock
- Avisoft-SASLab
Pro.4.36.22
- Hardlock

License detections: to detect if an application is
protected by a License, we recommend to use the folder scan and select the
install dir.
i.e. DivX v5.2.1 is using 'nTitles Activator'. Scan the DivX folder and you
will notice bgregister.exe in the Protection Report
Window. The file will import the serial functions of a file called 'PSIKey.dll'
wich is present in your application dir or
(like in this case) in C:Windows\System32. Scan the dll and you´ll know the
version.

some notes about... SecuROM v7...
well you´ve probably seen SecuROM 7 "versions" displayed like
7.00.00.xxxx.
i don´t think it´s the "real" version, check out the following
version and their release dates:
SecuROM 7.00.00.0005
(Crashday)
- 25.01.2006
SecuROM 7.00.00.0008 (Conflict Global
Storm)
- 17.08.2005 (!)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0008 (CSI-3 Dimensions of
Murder
- 22.02.2006 (!)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0032 (Project
Snowblind)
- 09.04.2005 (one of the first securom 7 titles)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0107
(F.E.A.R.)
- 05.09.2005
SecuROM 7.00.00.0129 (Star Wars Empire at
War)
- 20.01.2006
just my thoughts on securom... the string is decrypted, yes, but it doesn´t
mean it´s part of the version.
if i´m wrong i´m going to correct it in the next release... but is there any
proof ? ;-)
greetings

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v5.0c (Protection Update #1)
v6.0 is progressing very well and the changes are incredible but we thought
we should release v5.0c to keep you up to date because protections have
changed...
- added: Safedisc v3.20 - 4.xx detection with removed version
i.e. Need For Speed Underground 2, Flatout, The Lord of The Rings
The Battle For Middle-Earth, Knight Rider 2
- added: 3PLock detection (i.e. Kreed, RTL Ski Jump 2005, RTL Ski Alpine 2005)
(consider our protection as the most proper one becaus we don´t simply
scan for the section names, we are anaylsing the exe ;-)
- improved: totally rewritten Safedisc detection (much faster and highly
accurate)
Our goal is to keep you up to date. While continuing work on v6.0 we might put
out some more minor updated v5.0x versions,
depends on how much PC Game protections will change.
cdkiller & [x/xxx]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v5.0b (bugfixed)
sorry for the fixed version... but there were some minor annoying bugs in the
FiNAL ;-)
- added: Auto Update feature to support Protection iD´s new website
(protectionid.gamecopyworld.com)
- added: Server selection when doing an Auto Update
- added: VOB Protect CD [modified version] detection (i.e. Sacred *german* )
- added: 2 more CD-Checks to scan for (MVP Baseball 2004, Battle Mages)
- fixed: Win9x system lock
- fixed: corrupt path names in log window when scanning a rar file
- fixed: [!] Unknown Protection issue when file is non executable or too small
to be executable
- fixed: CDCheck bug displaying 'No Protection found' when certain CDCheck
strings were found
- fixed: SecuROM detection when no version (crypted or unencrypted) was found
- fixed: LogWindow cursor now shown as normal cursor and not like the I-bar one
thx again x/xxx for all your help !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v5.0 FiNAL
Don´t get me wrong, I labeled it 'FiNAL' because i released a public Beta
some weeks ago.
Nor does it mean I´ll stop developing this popular tool ;-)
during the development of v5.0 many things have been added, improved,
changed, bugfixed and tweaked.
Protection iD got a totally new core with lots of enhancements, so i don´t
write every fix etc
into the changelog because they will make it explode...
also, may I say, our tool is the only one with a 99% Tagés detection.
other tools sometimes have trouble in detecting Tagés or detect Tagés wrong on
a CD/DVD where another protection is used.
the Tagés scanning feature is only available on Win2k / WinXP / Win2k3 without
the need of ASPI drivers.
soon it will be Win9x compatible, also without any additional drivers !

Aggressive Scan [default: on]
a very usefull feature wich enables you to check if a file is protected by more
than one protection.
Games: i.e. you can check if a SecuROM protected exe also has CD/DVD-Checks
Apps: some crypters are faking / hiding the real protection like Stealth PE.
i.e. if you scan an
ASPack protected file where Stealth PE is used to hide the real protection,
both will be detected by Protection iD
Context Menu
once enabled in the GUI you are able to scan every (!) file with a right click
'Scan with Protection ID...'
CD/DVD scanning
sector scanning only supports Tagés in v5.0 (for other protections
simply scan the programs exe)
file scanning supports all kind of protections.
once Protection iD is started it will pop up a tray icon.
click on it and select 'Scan File(s) / Folders / CD/DVD' -> 'CD/DVD drive
file/ sector' -> your drive letter
Auto - Updates
tray icon -> support -> check for updates
will check if a new update is available and it will be downloaded
