How to find out how an exe was packed and how to unpack it?

[DavidXanatos]

Hi,

I'm trying to use IDA pro on two applications, booth seam not to like that, when trying to open them I get "Can't find translation for virtual address 0x[some number]" also trying to attach a debugger to a already running process results in that process crashing.
One of them just plainly refuses to start when ida is running.

Now I'm a bloody beginner so don't really know how to get around such an obstacle.

Booth Applications are 64 bit binary's although of one of them there is also a 32 bit Version.

The tool "protection id 6.2.3" tells me that that booth applications are protected by Obsidium x64 V1.5 build 5, respectively build 105


Can someone more knowledgeable give me some advice how to tackle such sort of issue.


Cheers
