Hi there and welcome to the home of Protection ID - the best just got better!
As you probably know, we are always trying to put our best into Protection ID and to keep it up to date for all 
YOU users, this is of course very time consuming, and is purely a hobby.

It all started as a simple pc game protection scanner back in 2003 - look what it has become now :-)
If you are using Protection ID on a regular basis and you like the quality and work we have put into it
(and will continue to put in), why not consider giving a donation as a reward ?

If you want to donate, use the link in the manual (ProtectionID.chm, included in the download)

If you want to help with the project (code / test / do the web page etc) please feel free to email as well

Note

CDKiLLER has not been involved in the project since 09/09/2011, and has been totally uncontactable, 
I hope he’s safe and well, and that he will get in touch. As a result the development paused for a while 
as I had other things to deal with too, but I then thought that cdkiller would want the project continued, so
when / if he comes back he’ll be able to continue, and we always wanted to keep our user base happy….
So, I restarted the project relatively recently, as a result I also lost the contact information on the beta 
testers, and had to try and find them, if I missed any, or indeed, if you want to beta test then please

Contact me at the email address -> [email protected]

The current beta is in a stable state and I plan to release it very soon (after it has passed all checks and is as
up to date as possible), I would like to thank the beta testers for rallying around and bringing some support
and testing back into the project, and I know people are wanting an update too, the project is not dead, I just
want the next beta (6.5.6) to go as smoothly as possible J

The beta currently supports 543 scan modules, improved scanning speed, quite a few bug fixes, it is now
compiled with masm & linker versions 12.00.20827.3, and is STILL compatible from windows 95 right up
to windows 8, and still coded in 100% assembly language. And is about 1MB in size ( 1,121,720 bytes currently)…

v6.3.5

Hello folks!

We are proud to present you the next and most up to date version of protection id.
it was about time to bring this to the public, as the last version was released back in march.

During development of this version we ported it over to MASM v10,
using the latest compiler & linker available at the moment.

This version of pid features highly optimised scanning routines, resulting in very fast detections.
I.e. a 2 GB setup.exe in processed in less than 1 second (smart mode kicks in).

We tweaked nearly all scans to benefit from our new procs.

core additions / changes

- new: compiled using masm v10 compiler & linker
- new: added in new and optimised scanning routines
- new: protection id is now able to scan inside msi files
- new: clean temp tool (Extensions -> Clean Temp)
- new: added in our own fast internal zlib decompression routines
- new: compiler detector updated to detect:
       - more Visual C++
       - appended flash files
       - Power Basic
       - Watcom C/C++
       - MinGW
       - GoASM

- update: reporting part on file type, now reports bitness & file subsystem
- update: added in recovery system - if a crash happens when scanning a file/cd/dvd and the crash is in the scanning thread,
                the seh system will 'recover' the crash, skipping all other scan modules and simply clean things up.
                So a crash when scanning does NOT take protection id down (the crash is reported to the log)
- update: windows error code resolver dialog got a face lift and some added functionality
- update: initial modification to report cpu usage on ALL available cores
- update: shortcuts are now not made if pid is run from a removable drive
- update: added in reporting for uac setting in vista or higher
- update: scan size threshold increased to 50mb
- update: added in the nfo association configuration
- update: compiler detection enabled by default now
- update: adjusted the way the systray worked
                - double left click on the pid icon will cause the pid window to be shown / hidden
                - right click on the pid icon will cause the right click systray context menu to appear

- bugfix: cab file handler bug fixed
- bugfix: scan file on cd/dvd did not work
- bugfix: fix for shortcuts getting fucked
- bugfix: fixed bug in the seh system, which lead to a crash
- bugfix: file queue stuff (pause, remove, clear all) fully operational again
- bugfix: logic fix, checking section count could technically be wrong if exe was x64
- bugfix: selecting scan folder 2x resulted in it messing up
- bugfix: minor adjustment to avoid closing an invalid handle
- bugfix: fixed output bug on small files
- bugfix: fixed a possible win9x issue
- bugfix: minor gui fixes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v6.2.2

core additions / changes

- new: incorporated PEiD / PE Tools database usage
         -> additionally displays the protection found via the user databases
         -> peid database is expected to be in the same folder as protection id
             and should be called peid_database.txt
         -> petools database is expected to be in the same folder as protection id
             and should be called petools_signs.txt 

             - enable/disable: go to Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> peid / petools (3rd party scan)
             - once enabled you can browse the signature files when
               clicking the 'Extensions' tab (second icon from the bottom right)
             - note: in cases of multiple hits, the highest probability is automatically figured out and reported 

- new: work on compiler detection began
         -> The compiler detection simply reports what compiler was used to make
              the executable, It can also sometimes report the programming language
              the executable was made with. 

              current detections: dotnet, visual basic & visual basic.net, some visual c/c++, borland c++, delphi
              enable/disable: Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> Enable Compiler Detection Scan 

- new: tooltip preview (configurable option in the settings - under the gui portion)
- new: added in drive type reporting in the misc tools section
- new: added in option in configuration to dedicate 1 cpu to scanning core (if multiple cpu's are found on the system)
- new: added in little pause/resume button in the main dialog (green circle when you load pid)
- new: added in activity reporting on hdd reads, pid is so quick though, you may not notice it,
           but on large files, its useful because it’s an indicator pid is doing something 

- update: turned on scan inside microsoft cab files as default
- update: added more informative comments into pe stuff
- update: file queue now reports the amount of files it has processed
- update: updated detection routine to report dll compiled in native mode
- update: folderwatch cleanup now works and reporting is handled correctly
- update: updated version info core to handle 'strange' exes with fucked version info,
               or version information that version.dll does not 'see'
- update: fixed some imports so that pid now loads on windows nt 4.0 (and probably 3.x)
               without the system throwing an import missing error and exiting the process
- update: services now disables itself if the os is 9x/me (9x/me doesn’t have 'services')
               shares also disables itself if the os is 9x/me (api not present in these os'es)

- update: configuration - windows product key showing is now a configuration item
- update: configuration - now 'themes' and 'flat mode' can not be selected at the same time,
               this is how it should be as themes override flatmode etc... so now only one can
               be selected, and the other is 'auto unselected' (suggested by syk0)
- update: configuration - added in code to enable/disable the 'protection report bubble' after a scan is completed
- update: Memory Optimiser - the progress bar should get to the start again when user
               clicked on Optimize and Purge was successful

                                   instead, a warning message is displayed
- update: process view - added in check for terminate, dump, priority change..
                                       if selected process is pid, the menu items are disabled (for safety and security)

               save selection (txt)
               save selection (csv)
               save log (txt)
               save log (csv)

              You can't use the complete SFV feature as it's all grayed out (reported by Blazkowicz)
- bugfix: sfv output for large files (mb, gb etc) was VERY wrong, it’s since corrected
- bugfix: fixed 'disappearing window' problem
- bugfix: 'large icons' issue fixed in 9x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v6.0

if you ever used an older version you will experience a totally new tool with v6.0.
pid got a major overhaul on its GUI for a new and very easy using experience.
many protections have been added and tweaked for maximum detection speed
and as much accuracy as possible with the new core code additions.
Dongles, Licenses, polymorphic protectors and Installer detections are justsome of the new additions...
our goal is it to release a very easy to use tool for detecting all kinds of protections.
pid is easy to use for newbies due the cd/dvd scan and drag & drop feature.
reverse engineers will also benefit when using protection id due the detailed informations
like multiple protections in one file, detection of nearly all protectors (commercial and freeware)
and more injformations like appending data etc...

we hope you will enjoy the new generation of our tool :-)
/cdkiller & x/xxx

- removed: Krypton [generic] detection (version checks will do a better job)
- plus many minor fixes and improvements i can´t remember anymore ;-)

[ -= NOTES = -]

Dongle detections
:  To check commercial applications for a Dongle protection, we recommend to use the folder scan.
                                    we know Dongle protections aren´t widely used in most apps but the usage of Dongles in 3D/CAD/CAM
                                    applications is growing.

                                    examples  - AICON 3D Studio v3.6.00                        -   Hardlock
                                                    - Avisoft-SASLab Pro.4.36.22                     -   Hardlock
                                                    - Image Craft AVR ANSI C Tools v7.00b    -   DinKey
                                                    - BrainVoyager2000 v491                            -   HASP
                                                    - Canops ProCoder v2.0                              -   HASP PE Envelope
                                                    - Solidscape JewelCAD v5.12                      -   Key-Lok II
                                                    - Quark XPress v6.1                                    -   Sentinel
                                                    - NewTek LightWave 3D v8.0                     -    Sentinel
                                                    - Electronic Image Animation System v5.5.1 -    Sentinel Super Pro
                                                    - PointLineCAD Version 19                         -    WIBU

License detections
: To detect if an application is protected by a License, we recommend to use the folder scan and select the install dir.
                                    i.e. DivX v5.2.1 is using 'nTitles Activator'. Scan the DivX folder and you will notice bgregister.exe in the Protection Report
                                    Window. The file will import the serial functions of a file called 'PSIKey.dll' wich is present in your application dir or
                                    (like in this case) in C:Windows\System32. Scan the dll and you´ll know the version.

                                    examples 1 - Avid Softimage XSI Advanced v4.0                -   FlexLM v6.1     (ilImageTPF.dll)
                                                      - Intel C++ Compiler for Win.v8.0.046             -    FlexLM v7.1    (codecov.exe, xilink.exe...)
                                                      - Gauss v6.0                                                     -    FlexLM v8.1    (gauss.exe, tgauss.exe)
                                                      - Pixar Renderman Artist Tools v6.0                  -    FlexLM v8.2    (rampEditor.exe, slim.exe...)
                                                      - Code Warrior v9.3                                         -    FlexLM v8.4    (lmgr8c.dll)
                                                      - Digital Fusion Render Note v4.04c                 -    FlexLM v9.0    (DFRNode.exe)
                                                      - Cambridge Animations Systems Animo v6.0   -    FlexLM v9.2    (lot´s of *.dll files in \bin dir)
                                                      - Geoslope Geostudio 2004 v6.02                    -    FlexNET v10.0 (GeoStudio.exe and lots of *.dll files)

                                    examples 2 - Minnetonka Disc WELDER Bronze v1.01      -   Sentinel LM
                                                      - IronCAD Inovate v7.0                                    -   Sentinel LM v7.2.0.0
                                                      - CSI SAFE v8.0.4                                           -   Sentinel LM v7.2.0.18

                                    examples 3 - DivX v5.2.1                                       -   nTitles Activator v1.3.6.18    (bgregister.exe, PSIKey.dll)
                                                      - Corel Word Perfect Office v12           -   nTitles Activator v1.3.4.89   (Prwin12,exe, PSIKey.dll...)
                                                      - Kaydara Motion Builder v5.5             -   nTitles Activator v1.3.4.13    (klicense.dll, PSIKey.dll)
                                                      - PowerQuest Drive Image v7.03          -  nTitles Activator v1.3.0.43    (PQV2iSvc.exe)

Safecast detections:    examples:  - Dreamweaver MX 2004 v7.0.1               -  Safecast v2.42.000 (actlib.dll, MMxpt.dll)
                                                      - ArcSoft Media Card Companion v1.0     -   Safecast v2.50.030 (Media Card Companion.exe)
                                                      - Autodesk Inventor Professional v9.0        -   Safecast v2.51.000 (invadlm.dll, invaip09.dll)
                                                      - Data Becker Web To Date v3.1              -   Safecast v2.60.030 (web2date.exe)
                                                      - Adobe Photoshop CS2                           -   Safecast v2.67.010 (Tw10122.dat)

SecuROM 7.00.00.0129 (Star Wars Empire at War)              -    20.01.2006

just my thoughts on securom... the string is decrypted, yes, but it doesn´t mean it´s part of the version.
if i´m wrong i´m going to correct it in the next release... but is there any proof ? ;-)

v5.0c (Protection Update #1) 

v6.0 is progressing very well and the changes are incredible but we thought
we should release v5.0c to keep you up to date because protections have changed...
 
- added: Safedisc v3.20 - 4.xx detection with removed version
   i.e. Need For Speed Underground 2, Flatout, The Lord of The Rings The Battle For Middle-Earth, Knight Rider 2
- added: 3PLock detection (i.e. Kreed, RTL Ski Jump 2005, RTL Ski Alpine 2005)
  (consider our protection as the most proper one because we don´t simply scan for the section names, we are analysing the exe ;-)
- improved: totally rewritten Safedisc detection (much faster and highly accurate)

Our goal is to keep you up to date. While continuing work on v6.0 we might put out some more minor updated v5.0x versions,
depends on how much PC Game protections will change.

v5.0b (bugfixed)

sorry for the fixed version... but there were some minor annoying bugs in the FiNAL ;-)

- added: Auto Update feature to support Protection iD´s new website (protectionid.gamecopyworld.com)
- added: Server selection when doing an Auto Update
- added: VOB Protect CD [modified version] detection (i.e. Sacred *german* )
- added: 2 more CD-Checks to scan for (MVP Baseball 2004, Battle Mages)
- fixed: Win9x system lock
- fixed: corrupt path names in log window when scanning a rar file
- fixed: [!] Unknown Protection issue when file is non executable or too small to be executable
- fixed: CDCheck bug displaying 'No Protection found' when certain CDCheck strings were found
- fixed: SecuROM detection when no version (crypted or unencrypted) was found
- fixed: LogWindow cursor now shown as normal cursor and not like the I-bar one

thx again x/xxx for all your help !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v5.0 FiNAL

Don´t get me wrong, I labeled it 'FiNAL' because i released a public Beta some weeks ago.
Nor does it mean I´ll stop developing this popular tool ;-)

during the development of v5.0 many things have been added, improved, changed, bugfixed and tweaked.
Protection iD got a totally new core with lots of enhancements, so i don´t write every fix etc
into the changelog because they will make it explode...

also, may I say, our tool is the only one with a 99% Tagés detection.
other tools sometimes have trouble in detecting Tagés or detect Tagés wrong on a CD/DVD where another protection is used.
the Tagés scanning feature is only available on Win2k / WinXP / Win2k3 without the need of ASPI drivers.
soon it will be Win9x compatible, also without any additional drivers !

* added: aggressive scan (read notes) for a more powerful detection
* added: CD/DVD sector scanning for ISO protections (Tagés only in v5.0, more will follow)
* added: CD/DVD file scanning for all possible protections if executable is present in an uncompressed state
* added: context scan menu for all files (can be enabled / disabled in the GUI) (read notes)
* added: drag & drop support for the GUI, simply select as many files as you want and drop them into Protection iD
* added: folder scanning
* added: glowing buttons to GUI
* added: log window showing all detected protections
* added: online update (systray menu -> support -> check for updates)
* added: progress bar showing total progress of scan to be completed
* added: queue window, displaying the files in queue when doing a multiscan or drag & drop of more than one file
* added: status window displaying the current operations
* added: systray icon / menu (single / multi scan, folder / cd / dvd scan, drop me a mail, check website, download update, visit cdmediaworld.com)
* added: updater wich will download the latest version for you (systray menu -> support -> check for updates) (read notes)
* added: detailed information about a program crash
* added: detection for Laserlock version (if detection is possible...)
* added: detection for Settec Alpha ROM (used in Korean games, will hit Europe soon... thx mate for the exe !)
* added: detection for VOB Protect CD version
* added: detection for Air ExeLock
* added: detection for Crypto-Lock
* added: detection for E-Zip
* added: detection for latest EXEStealth v2.74
* added: detection for Perplex PE Protector
* added: detection for UPX Scrambler
* added: detection for latest X-treme Protector v1.07
* added: detection if a  CD-Key is required (i.e Call of Duty, Savage, Quake 3 Arena...)
* added: more CD/DVD-Check detection strings to database (i.e. Fire Starter, Massive Assault, Apache Longbow Assault...)
* added: scanning in all files wich are valid PE files (i.e. in Lords of Everquest, the Lords.ree is protected with SecuROM)


* improved: totally new scanning routines (much faster and more stable)
* improved: ASPack detection
* improved: FSG detection
* improved: Krypton detection
* improved: Neolite detection
* improved: PE Compact detection
* improved: PE Lock detection
* improved: PE Shield detection
* improved: Softdefender version checking
* improved: Special EXE Password Protector detection
* improved: Stealth PE detection
* improved: UPX detection (to detect fakes and modified versions)
* improved: VBO Watch detection
* improved: VGCrypt detection
* improved: X-treme Protector v1.00 - v1.07 detection (i.e. Spellforce exe is protected with v1.06)
* improved: checks if a file was cracked by an iso / dox / rip group
* removed: checks for possible CD-Check API Calls (i got enough CD-Check strings wich should find the checks)
* removed: scanning exefiles for Tagés (use the proper detection with the cd/dvd sector scan feature)
* fixed: 4 KB file scanning crash

Aggressive Scan [default: on]


a very usefull feature wich enables you to check if a file is protected by more than one protection.

Games: i.e. you can check if a SecuROM protected exe also has CD/DVD-Checks
Apps: some crypters are faking / hiding the real protection like Stealth PE.
          i.e. if you scan an ASPack protected file where Stealth PE is used to hide the real protection, both will be detected by Protection iD

Context Menu


once enabled in the GUI you are able to scan every (!) file with a right click 'Scan with Protection ID...'

CD/DVD scanning


sector scanning only supports Tagés in v5.0 (for other protections simply scan the programs exe)
file scanning supports all kind of protections.


once Protection iD is started it will pop up a tray icon.
click on it and select 'Scan File(s) / Folders / CD/DVD' -> 'CD/DVD drive file/ sector' -> your drive letter

Auto - Updates

tray icon -> support -> check for updates
will check if a new update is available and it will be downloaded

v6.3.5

hello folks!

We are proud to present you the next and most up2date version of protection id.
it was about time to bring this to the public, as thelast version was released back in march.

During development of this version we ported it over to MASM v10,
using the latest compiler & linker available at the moment.

This version of pid features highly optimized scanningroutines, resulting in very fast detections.
i.e. a 2 GB setup.exe in processed in less then 1second (smart mode kicks in).

We tweaked nearly all scans to benefit from our newprocs.


core additions / changes

- new: compiled using masm v10 compiler & linker
- new: added in new and optimized scanning routines
- new: protection id is now able to scan inside msi files
- new: clean temp tool (Extensions -> Clean Temp)
- new: added in our own fast internal zlib decompresion routines
- new: compiler detector updated to detect:
       - more Visual C++
       - appended flashfiles
       - Power Basic
       - Watcom C/C++
       - MinGW
       - GoASM

- update: reporting part on file type, nowreports bitness & file subsystem
- update: added in recovery system - if a crash happens when scanning afile/cd/dvd and the crash is in the scanning thread,
               the seh system will 'recover' the crash, skipping all other scanmodules and simply clean things up.
               So a crash when scanning does NOT take protection id down (thecrash is reported to the log)
- update: windows error code resolver dialog got aface lift and some added functionality
- update: initial modification to report cpu usage on ALL available cores
- update: shortcuts are now not made if pid isrun from a removable drive
- update: added in reporting for uac setting in vista or higher
- update: scan size threshold increased to 50mb
- update: added in the nfo association configuration
- update: compiler detection enabled by default now
- update: adjusted the way the systray worked
               - double left click on the pid icon will cause the pid window to beshown / hidden
               - right click on the pid icon will cause the right click systray contextmenu to appear

- bugfix: cab file handlerbug fixed
- bugfix: scan file on cd/dvd did not work
- bugfix: fix for shortcuts getting fucked
- bugfix: fixed bug in the seh system, which lead to a crash

- bugfix: file queue stuff (pause, remove, clear all)fully operational again
- bugfix: logic fix, checking section count couldtechnically be wrong if exe was x64
- bugfix: selecting scan folder 2x resulted in it messing up
- bugfix: minor adjustment to avoid closing an invalid handle
- bugfix: fixed output bug on small files
- bugfix: fixed a possible win9x issue
- bugfix: minor gui fixes

core additions / changes

- new: incorporated PEiD / PE Tools database usage
         -> additionally displays the protectionfound via the userdatabases
         -> peid database is expected to be in thesame folder as protection id
             and should be calledpeid_database.txt
         -> petools database is expected to be in thesame folder as protection id
             and should be calledpetools_signs.txt 

             -enable/disable: go to Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> peid /petools (3rd party scan)
             - once enabled you can browsethe signature files when
               clicking the'Extensions' tab (second icon from the bottom right)
             - note: in cases of multiplehits, the highest probability is automatically figured out and reported 

- new: work on compilerdetection began
         -> The compiler detection simply reportswhat compiler was used to make
              the executable, It can alsosometimes report the programming language
              the executable was madewith. 

             current detections: dotnet, visual basic & visual basic.net, some visual c/c++, borland c++, delphi
              enable/disable:Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> Enable Compiler DetectionScan 

- new: tooltip preview (configurable option in the settings - under the guiportion)

               without the system throwing an import missingerror and exiting the process
- update: services now disables itself if the os is 9x/me (9x/me doesnt have'services')
               shares also disables itself if the os is 9x/me(api not present in these os'es)
- update: gui -> cd/dvd tools and the folderwatch buttons are nowautomatically disabled if
               the operating system is windows 9x/me (ie:less than windows 2000)
- update: folder location shell32 output now made9x/me compliant(old comctl32.dll listview issue)
- update: added in minimize to systray if its set in the configuration
              if set, pid will minimize itself when its loaded for the firsttime
- update: added in another handler for smbios, itsquicker, but only available in vista or higher

v6.0

if you ever used an older version you will experience a totally new toolwith v6.0.
pid got a major overhaul on it´s GUI for a new andvery easy using experience.
many protections have been added and tweaked formaximum detection speed
and as much accuracy as possible with the new core code additions.
Dongles, Licenses, polymorhpic protectors and Installer detections are justsome of the new additions...
our goal is it to release a very easy to use tool for detecting all kindsof protections.
pid is easy to use for newbies due the cd/dvd scan anddrag & drop feature.
reverse engineers will also benefit when using protection id due thedetailed informations
like multiple protections in one file, detection of nearly all protectors(commercial and freeware)
and more injformations like appending data etc...

we hope you will enjoy the new generation of our tool :-)

[ -= NOTES = -]

Dongle detections
:     to checkcommercial applications for a Dongle protection, we recommend to use the folder scan.
                                   we know Dongle protections aren´t widely used in mostapps but the usage of Dongles in 3D/CAD/CAM
                                   applications is growing.

                                   examples  - AICON 3D Studio v3.6.00                       -   Hardlock
                                                   - Avisoft-SASLabPro.4.36.22                    -   Hardlock
                                                   - Image Craft AVR ANSI C Tools v7.00b    -   DinKey
                                                   - BrainVoyager2000v491                           -   HASP
                                                   - Canops ProCoderv2.0                             -   HASP PE Envelope
                                                   - Solidscape JewelCADv5.12                     -   Key-Lok II
                                                   - Quark XPressv6.1                                   -   Sentinel
                                                   - NewTek LightWave 3Dv8.0                    -    Sentinel
                                                   - Electronic Image Animation System v5.5.1 -    Sentinel SuperPro
                                                   - PointLineCAD Version19                        -    WIBU

License detections
:    to detect if an application isprotected by a License, we recommend to use the folder scan and select theinstall dir.
                                   i.e. DivX v5.2.1 is using 'nTitles Activator'. Scan the DivX folder and youwill notice bgregister.exe in the Protection Report
                                   Window. The file will import the serial functions of a file called 'PSIKey.dll'wich is present in your application dir or
                                   (like in this case) in C:Windows/System32. Scan thedll and you´ll know the version.

                                   examples 1 - Avid Softimage XSI Advancedv4.0               -   FlexLM v6.1     (ilImageTPF.dll)
                                                     - Intel C++ Compiler forWin.v8.0.046            -    FlexLM v7.1    (codecov.exe,xilink.exe...)
                                                     - Gaussv6.0                                                    -    FlexLM v8.1    (gauss.exe, tgauss.exe)
                                                     - Pixar Renderman Artist Toolsv6.0                 -    FlexLM v8.2    (rampEditor.exe, slim.exe...)
                                                     - Code Warriorv9.3                                        -    FlexLM v8.4    (lmgr8c.dll)
                                                     - Digital Fusion Render Notev4.04c                -    FlexLM v9.0    (DFRNode.exe)
                                                     - Cambridge Animations Systems Animo v6.0   -   FlexLM v9.2    (lot´s of *.dll files in /bin dir)
                                                     - Geoslope Geostudio 2004v6.02                   -    FlexNET v10.0 (GeoStudio.exe and lots of *.dll files)

                                   examples 2 - Minnetonka Disc WELDER Bronze v1.01      -  Sentinel LM
                                                     - IronCAD Inovatev7.0                                   -   Sentinel LM v7.2.0.0
                                                     - CSI SAFEv8.0.4                                          -   Sentinel LM v7.2.0.18

                                   examples 3 - DivX v5.2.1                                      -   nTitles Activator v1.3.6.18    (bgregister.exe,PSIKey.dll)
                                                     - Corel Word Perfect Office v12          -   nTitles Activator v1.3.4.89   (Prwin12,exe,PSIKey.dll...)
                                                     - Kaydara Motion Builderv5.5            -   nTitles Activator v1.3.4.13    (klicense.dll,PSIKey.dll)
                                                     - PowerQuest Drive Imagev7.03          -  nTitlesActivator v1.3.0.43    (PQV2iSvc.exe)

Safecast detections:    examples:  -Dreamweaver MX 2004v7.0.1              -  Safecast v2.42.000 (actlib.dll, MMxpt.dll)
                                                     - ArcSoft Media Card Companion v1.0     -  Safecast v2.50.030 (Media Card Companion.exe)
                                                     - Autodesk Inventor Professional v9.0       -   Safecast v2.51.000 (invadlm.dll, invaip09.dll)
                                                     - Data Becker Web To Datev3.1             -   Safecast v2.60.030 (web2date.exe)
                                                     - Adobe PhotoshopCS2                          -   Safecast v2.67.010 (Tw10122.dat)

some notes about... SecuROM v7...

well you´ve probably seen SecuROM 7 "versions" displayed like7.00.00.xxxx.
i don´t think it´s the "real" version, checkout the following version and their release dates:

SecuROM 7.00.00.0005(Crashday)                                      -    25.01.2006
SecuROM 7.00.00.0008 (Conflict Global Storm)                   -    17.08.2005 (!)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0008 (CSI-3 Dimensions ofMurder         -    22.02.2006 (!)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0032 (ProjectSnowblind)                        -    09.04.2005 (one of the first securom 7 titles)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0107 (F.E.A.R.)                                      -    05.09.2005
SecuROM 7.00.00.0129 (Star Wars Empire atWar)             -    20.01.2006

just my thoughts on securom... the string is decrypted, yes, but it doesn´tmean it´s part of the version.
if i´m wrong i´m going to correct it in the nextrelease... but is there any proof ? ;-)

greetings

v5.0c (Protection Update #1)
v6.0 is progressing very well and the changes are incredible but we thought
we should release v5.0c to keep you up to date because protections havechanged...
 
- added: Safedisc v3.20 - 4.xx detection with removed version
   i.e. Need For Speed Underground 2, Flatout, The Lord of The RingsThe Battle For Middle-Earth, Knight Rider 2
- added: 3PLock detection (i.e. Kreed, RTL Ski Jump 2005, RTL Ski Alpine 2005)
  (consider our protection as the most proper one becaus we don´t simplyscan for the section names, we are anaylsing the exe ;-)
- improved: totally rewritten Safedisc detection (much faster and highlyaccurate)

Our goal is to keep you up to date. While continuing work on v6.0 we might putout some more minor updated v5.0x versions,
depends on how much PC Game protections will change.

v5.0 FiNAL

Don´t get me wrong, I labeled it 'FiNAL' because i released a public Betasome weeks ago.
Nor does it mean I´ll stop developing this popular tool ;-)

during the development of v5.0 many things have been added, improved,changed, bugfixed and tweaked.
Protection iD got a totally new core with lots of enhancements, so i don´twrite every fix etc
into the changelog because they will make it explode...

also, may I say, our tool is the only one with a 99% Tagés detection.
other tools sometimes have trouble in detecting Tagésor detect Tagés wrong on a CD/DVD where another protection is used.
the Tagés scanning feature is only available on Win2k/ WinXP / Win2k3 without the need of ASPI drivers.
soon it will be Win9x compatible, also without anyadditional drivers !

* added: aggressive scan (read notes) for a more powerfull detection
* added: CD/DVD sector scanning for ISO protections (Tagés only in v5.0, morewill follow)
* added: CD/DVD file scanning for all possible protections if executable ispresent in an uncompressed state
* added: context scan menu for all files (can be enabled / disabled in theGUI) (read notes)
* added: drag & drop support for the GUI, simply select as many filesas you want and drop them into Protection iD
* added: folder scanning
* added: glowing buttons to GUI
* added: log window showing all detected protections
* added: online update (systray menu -> support -> check for updates)
* added: progress bar showing total progress of scan to be completed
* added: queue window, displaying the files in queue when doing a multiscan ordrag & drop of more than one file
* added: status window displaying the current operations
* added: systray icon / menu (single / multi scan, folder / cd / dvd scan, dropme a mail, check website, download update, visit cdmediaworld.com)
* added: updater wich will download the latest version for you (systray menu-> support -> check for updates) (read notes)
* added: detailed information about a program crash
* added: detection for Laserlock version (if detection is possible...)
* added: detection for Settec Alpha ROM (used in Korean games, will hitEurope soon... thx mate for the exe !)
* added: detection for VOB Protect CD version
* added: detection for Air ExeLock
* added: detection for Crypto-Lock
* added: detection for E-Zip
* added: detection for latest EXEStealth v2.74
* added: detection for Perplex PE Protector
* added: detection for UPX Scrambler
* added: detection for latest X-treme Protector v1.07
* added: detection if a  CD-Key is required (i.e Call of Duty, Savage,Quake 3 Arena...)
* added: more CD/DVD-Check detection strings to database (i.e. Fire Starter,Massive Assault, Apache Longbow Assault...)
* added: scanning in all files wich are valid PE files (i.e. in Lords ofEverquest, the Lords.ree is protected with SecuROM)
* improved: totally new scanning routines (much faster and more stable)
* improved: ASPack detection
* improved: FSG detection
* improved: Krypton detection
* improved: Neolite detection

* improved: Stealth PE detection
* improved: UPX detection (to detect fakes and modified versions)
* improved: VBO Watch detection
* improved: VGCrypt detection
* improved: X-treme Protector v1.00 - v1.07 detection (i.e. Spellforce exe isprotected with v1.06)
* improved: checks if a file was cracked by an iso / dox / rip group
* removed: checks for possible CD-Check API Calls (i got enough CD-Checkstrings wich should find the checks)
* removed: scanning exefiles for Tagés (use the proper detection with thecd/dvd sector scan feature)
* fixed: 4 KB file scanning crash

Aggressive Scan [default: on]
a very usefull feature wich enables you to check if a file is protected by morethan one protection.

Games: i.e. you can check if a SecuROM protected exe also has CD/DVD-Checks
Apps: some crypters are faking / hiding the real protection like Stealth PE.
          i.e. if you scan anASPack protected file where Stealth PE is used to hide the real protection,both will be detected by Protection iD

Context Menu
once enabled in the GUI you are able to scan every (!) file with a right click'Scan with Protection ID...'

CD/DVD scanning
sector scanning only supports Tagés in v5.0 (for other protectionssimply scan the programs exe)
file scanning supports all kind of protections.

once Protection iD is started it will pop up a trayicon.
click on it and select 'Scan File(s) / Folders / CD/DVD' -> 'CD/DVD drivefile/ sector' -> your drive letter

Auto - Updates
tray icon -> support -> check for updates
will check if a new update is available and it will be downloaded
