PureUPX 1.13b (FEB 28th 2011)
Code: Select all
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?

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

Version 0.032?!
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!
