PureUPX 1.13 (Shell to UPX)

gnozal · **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2004 4:46 pm

PureUPX 1.13b (FEB 28th 2011)

Code:

PureUPX is (yet) another shell to UPX and various UPX-Scramblers.

UPX Compressor : - UPX 1.25w (c) 1996-2004 Markus Oberhumer
                                         & Laszlo Molnar
                 - UPX 3.02w (c) 1996-2007 Markus Oberhumer
                                         & Laszlo Molnar

UPX Scramblers : - UPX-Scrambler Release Candidate 1.05 by OnTooL
                 - UPX$HiT by Sibaway7
WARNING : these scramblers may trigger Malware/Virus alarms !!
                   (Scrambling is only available for UPX 1.25)

All four are included in this PureUPX Release.

Its purpose is obvious : compressing and scramble EXE's!

NB : if you use my PureValid library, you can also use PureUPX to
     validate your application after compressing (+/- scrambling).
     If the PureValid library is installed, you will see an extra
     PureValid section when you start PureUPX.

work very nice on my WinXP + SP1, and in addition very nice tool !

I sometimes use UPX, and i have made me a batch file, but this shell has all i need, even better a context menu entry for executable when you right click on it, very good job

But what is scrambling an executable ??
For a plain text i see, but for an executable i don't.

UPX-Scrambler just hides UPX-Signature, so UPX cannot decompress the EXE. But it's a very lame protection...

Both links sadly don't work for me...

Ah, ok. Yahoo doesn't like direct links. Works now for me.

I know this was maybe not intended, but i downloaded the packer also. The upx tool is !nice! and the packer also is. But i dont understand.:
If i write a file, test.txt with this in it: "I AM UNCOMPRESSED", and packs
it, if i open the packed file, i still can read "I AM UNCOMPRESSED". Thats
weird. It happens to all i pack with purebasics algorithm-

If a file can't be significally compressed (allready compressed files, very small files, ...), the file is simply stored in the archive (ratio = 100%).
Try with a larger text file (or word document) for exemple.

offtopic: but scrambler (or TRIM) sign/code/stub of UPX is OK with UPX LICENSE? :wink:

Probably not, but : the scrambling is an option (disabled by default) ...
... it's up to you :wink:

Version 0.032?! :lol:

Wazz up with that?
Didn't test it yet, but is it really that buggy?
And hey, why don't you enable xp-skin for that, it would look neat on my vista build!
