What's best? ASProtect or Armadillo

[dyn!o]

Well... the truth is very simple:

Everything can be cracked - it's a matter of time.

If you want to chose between these protectors then I would take Armadillo because it has far the best licenses management solution which gives you many opportunities. I'm not talking about the protection but licenses. Neverthless of your decision all the packers (SVKP/Armadillo/AsProtect) can be cracked fair quickly so, I suggest to take the advantage of licenses .

Armadillo is weaker than Asprotect?!

hmm... Let me see the only one good tutorial for unpacking Arma 3.60 or 3.70 with nanomites. Then, we'll see who is stronger

not in strongest is matter, but in correctness.

armadillo's nanomite/import elimination/code splicing is very strong.
not a lot of people can unpack armadillo. and there's no automatic unpack tool avilable for arma 3.0 or higher like there's asstripper 2.07 and 2.11 for aspack/protect

Correction: There is no public automatic unpack tool available for Arma 3.0 and higher.

A number of people have written their own private utilities that do the job quite well. I, for one, and also Squidge I think, and also a few people on Woodmann...

AsprStripper has never worked 100% on ASPR any of the times I have tried it (though it seems to work fine on ASPack), so I'm not sure I would say there's a "real" automatic unpack tool avail for ASPR 1.23+ either.

Regards

asstripper works perfectly on every aspack/aspr app i've seen.

Apparently you haven't tried it on ResBuilder or TweakRAM or any of the other apps I've had to unpack manually recently.

you are right, it doesn't always unpack correctly. asprotect has also some nice tricks that program doesn't work after unpacking, like the "Call Dword PTR:[xxxxxxxx]". for example, AnyDVD:

manual unpack: it can call it.
Stripper: DWORD is empty, no call. program crashes. you have to fix manually.

Advanced Administrative Tools: a large number of call eax, which code is dynamically unhashed. no way to fix all at once. but in this target, it doesn't matter if you use manual unpacking or stripper. but i think i have fixed nearly all of them.

there are a large number of targets which doesn't work after unpacking.
mostly that are targets which use the ASPR-Registration.

security never perfect,just delay sometime.human made never been PERFECT,so the best protection for your soft is FREEWARE
