Hi
I am totally in agreement with you except in a thing, the antidebug-driver do not detect ring 3 debuggers (Olly) and if you want to unpack manually it's very hard.
Unpack a file (DLL) with Pace for me and with the last version it's no possible...
I don't understand you when you say:"you can still run Pace protected software without the need to hide these data"- How???
Actually it's used in audio programs, but it's very agressive with the SO and many companys refuse to buy it (Inaccessable floppy drives. This could also apply to any other device using IRQ 6.,BSOD on shutdown or startup with "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_ERROR",Spontaneous reboots,corrupt registry entries (could be related to spontaneous reboots if Windows is writing to the registry when this occurs.) missing (not zero-byte, but none) paging file (swapfile.) ,etc...)
And of course it's very expensive
Use ADS in folder systems, create ghost cookies files... it's very stupid but how pack the files Ipace, it's not stupid.
are the 2 unpackers older?
where are the unpackers?
I've found 1 from TNT but it's for a old version.
If you can,please send me a link for this unpackers.
Regards
