I don't get any point in ranking protections. I think crackers already approximately know about hard and easy protections. So this topic may help only to software developers to choose the hardest protection. And that's the reason why I'm also against releasing protectors to the public. I think it's a bit egoistic and looks like: I can unpack this protector so I'll release it to the public so anyone can pack it's software with it, it's time for you to have some pain with unpacking. Anyway it's just imho.

What about the topic, I successfully unpacked with some generic private tool Themida, ExeCryptor, AsProtect, StarForce and many other packers and protectors. So I think some dongles offer the best protection. Maybe the ones that allow to load arbitrary code into them.
