PECompact v2 Loader SDK

One of the unique features of PECompact 2 is that it allows for a plug-in to provide the loader (symbiote, decompression stub) that is installed on target portable executables. By creating your own loader using the PECompact 2 Loader SDK you can increase the security of your application, add new features, and many other things.

Creation of a custom loader is still somewhat technical though and should not be undertaken by programmers not experienced with x86 assembly language. Loaders can be written in any language, though the only template available is written in x86 assembly (MASM).  A Visual Studio .NET 2003 VC++ project is included that merges both x86 assembly and C++ to form the loader template from which new loaders may be easily derived.

The loader SDK includes:

• MASM compatible source to the default loader used by PECompact 2.
• Visual Studio .NET 2003 Solution (VC++) for the default loader host DLL.
• Complete documentation on the loader.
• Priority technical support.
• The right to distribute modules with your custom loader attached by PECompact.

The loader SDK does not grant the right to distribute PECompact itself. You must purchase a PECompact Redistribution License for that right. Email support@bitsum.com with the subject "PECompact" for more information.

Requirements: MASM, Visual Studio .NET 2003 recommended.

Custom Loader Development Services (Software Protection and more)

The reason generic software protection mechanisms always fail is because since they are generic, they are targeted by skilled crackers and it is always merely a matter of time before a generic unpacker is released. Once a generic unpacker is created, even unskilled crackers can easily bypass your software protection.

The best way to create a layer of security for your product is to have one unique, so that skilled crackers are unlikley to think it is worth the considerable time to develop an unpacker for this single product (or perhaps multiple products). We can create a custom PECompact v2 loader for you.

Although each solution is different and therefore require different amounts of time and resources to develop, our base prices are:

$1250 USD = Custom loader with anti-debugging and anti-dumping technology.
$1850 USD = Custom loader with anti-debugging, anti-dumping, and anti-removal technology.
