some notes about... SecuROM v7...

well you´ve probably seen SecuROM 7 "versions" displayed like 7.00.00.xxxx.
i don´t think it´s the "real" version, check out 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 of Murder - 22.02.2006 (!)
SecuROM 7.00.00.0032 (Project Snowblind) - 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 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 ? ;-)

@cdki... uh, itsjustme: why don't you reply to one of your older threads instead of making a new thread every time you release a new version ? This behaviour can be considered as spamming the forum.

itsjustme

ok if a new version is released i´ll update the current thread only.
sorry if you consider this spamming...

Portmac

Threads merged, please post updates to this thread only.

- plus several protection version updates (i.e. Obsidium, MoloBox, PE Compact...)

due the amount of changes the version was raised to v5.2
most of the detection routines were recoded, resulting in faster scanning speed & being more accurate.

we´ve made improvements again in detection of the most common used pc game protections.
SecuROM 7.28 detection is here (older ones also updated and wrong detections fixed),
JoWoods new X-Prot will be detected, CDCops detection was added, ActiveMARK´s
latest version 6 will be recognized, Safedisc routine is able to detect the latest v4.70 games
with removed version and protection level (SDAPI or Safedisc Standard).
Protect DiSC detection is up to date (improved exact version scan) and now also detects
if the protection features are Basic / Pro.

thx to the people who helped with the more advanced features :-)

here´s a teaser for the upcomming v6 featuring the "Protection Report Window".

sheep18

Great!! There are protections, which I never heard before. When will it be released? This year? What will it be able to do. Nice work anyway.

Protection ID v6 newsupdate (see official website):

As you can see Protection ID v6 is progressing very well, thx to our beta testers for
reporting bugs, crashes and giving us ideas on what we can add to the functionality.

The current version does detect more than
250 exe-packers, PC ISO Protections, Dongles, Licenses and Installers in
such an exact and fake proof way you haven´t seen before in any scanning tool due the detailed checks.
False reports and detection where other tools fail are history.

PID´s Memory Optimiser on Windows Vista

Can't see anything there.

Hi Guys...

I'm a newbie here. Found you looking for help. Protection ID seems to be what I needed. But, if you please, would appreciate a little "insight".

1. I found and downloaded v5.2c. Was able to open and run on a disk (to get the info). But I'm stuck after that I'm How do I apply what I've found?

2. A new v6 is mentioned and shown here. Went to the "official" website, but the only download I could find was v5.2c. Is v6 at a different location?

Your insight would be appreciated ...chugbug

kalas

Welcome chigbug,

1. Help can be found here.
2. From my knowledge version 5.2c is the latest public version. Version 6 which is shown here is still in development so not public until it's released.

PID v6.0 Public XMAS BETA

<CDKiLLER & TippeX>

after 10 months of development,
we are proud to bring you this xmas gift.
the first public beta of the new v6

we tried our hardest to bring you a useful,powerful tool.
since development, this concept has mushroomed into v6
which now has a lot of extra functionality compared to v5.
this is the results of all our hard work... we hope you like it

BUT remember it still is a BETA and can contain bugs
(thou we gave our best to fix them all in this xmas build).

grab it from http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/ or use the update function within v5.2c.



(can the thread title be updated to v6.xx by a mod?, thx)
