hi there and welcome to a new release of Protection ID - the best just
gotten better !
as you probably know, we are always trying
to get our best into Protection ID and to keep it up2date for all YOU users.
this is of course very time consuming. it
all started as a simple pc game protection scanner back in 2003 - look what it
has become now :-)
if you are using Protection ID on a regular base and you like the quality
& work we have put into it
(and will continue to put in), why not giving a donation as a reward ?
if you want to donate use the link in the manual (ProtectionID.chm, included in
the download)

v6.3.5
hello folks!
We are proud to present you the next and most up2date version of protection id.
it was about time to bring this to the public, as the
last version was released back in march.
During development of this version we ported it over to MASM v10,
using the latest compiler & linker available at the moment.
This version of pid features highly optimized scanning
routines, resulting in very fast detections.
i.e. a 2 GB setup.exe in processed in less then 1
second (smart mode kicks in).
We tweaked nearly all scans to benefit from our new
procs.
core additions / changes
- new: compiled using masm v10 compiler & linker
- new: added in new and optimized scanning routines
- new: protection id is now able to scan inside msi files
- new: clean temp tool (Extensions -> Clean Temp)
- new: added in our own fast internal zlib decompresion routines
- new: compiler detector updated to detect:
- more Visual C++
- appended flash
files
- Power Basic
- Watcom C/C++
- MinGW
- GoASM
- update: reporting part on file type, now
reports bitness & file subsystem
- update: added in recovery system - if a crash happens when scanning a
file/cd/dvd and the crash is in the scanning thread,
the seh system will 'recover' the crash, skipping all other scan
modules and simply clean things up.
So a crash when scanning does NOT take protection id down (the
crash is reported to the log)
- update: windows error code resolver dialog got a
face lift and some added functionality
- update: initial modification to report cpu usage on ALL available cores
- update: shortcuts are now not made if pid is
run from a removable drive
- update: added in reporting for uac setting in vista or higher
- update: scan size threshold increased to 50mb
- update: added in the nfo association configuration
- update: compiler detection enabled by default now
- update: adjusted the way the systray worked
- double left click on the pid icon will cause the pid window to be
shown / hidden
- right click on the pid icon will cause the right click systray context
menu to appear
- bugfix: cab file handler
bug fixed
- bugfix: scan file on cd/dvd did not work
- bugfix: fix for shortcuts getting fucked
- bugfix: fixed bug in the seh system, which lead to a crash
- bugfix: file queue stuff (pause, remove, clear all)
fully operational again
- bugfix: logic fix, checking section count could
technically be wrong if exe was x64
- bugfix: selecting scan folder 2x resulted in it messing up
- bugfix: minor adjustment to avoid closing an invalid handle
- bugfix: fixed output bug on small files
- bugfix: fixed a possible win9x issue
- bugfix: minor gui fixes

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:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

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 !
* added: aggressive scan (read notes) for a more powerfull detection

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
