Hi,

I know that with peID you can easily dump and fix PCGuard targets.
My main concern is whether there's a tool outhere to fix encrypted code
that is decrypted on the fly and and the end is crypted back with some
PC-Guard internal XORing function for the already dePCguarded app.
I know that in the first place I should have tried to do it on my own,
I am just interested whether someone else already created something like
that, so no need to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks in advance,

thenut, your question is a borderline crack/unpacker request, be careful here...

Anyway, I thought I'd refresh you all about the rules of this messageboard, regarding asking for tools of different kinds:

1.
You may NOT ask for cracks, automatic unpackers and other kinds of ready-made zero-knowledge tools for breaking software protections.

2.
You may NOT ask about where to download ANY tool, freeware, pirated or whatever (this is to make sure no links to pirated software occur here, and to avoid people using this forum instead of google, even for freeware tools). This does of course include NOT being allowed to ask if someone can send it to you too!

A valid exception to this rule of not being allowed to ask WHERE a tool can be found is when the original site of a free tool has disappeared, and it is hard to find it by searching. In that case you MAY ask if anyone knows what happened to the site, and if there are any ways to find this tool anywhere else.

3.
You MAY ask for the existence (i.e. name) of a tool that has some feature that you have been looking for and been unable to find yourself, AFTER having put some reasonable effort into searching for it yourself on the net. Some features may be quite hard to find through searching though, and that's why you are allowed to make use of the collected knowledge of the board members here if you haven't been able to find it through searching the net.

I hope that makes it a bit more clear for you all.

Hi dELTA,
thanks for highlighting me the rules, but believe me I read them. And believe me
I have searched the archives and found zero about what I am looking for.
And yes, my post applies very well to item 3. in your list. Since I am NOT looking
for someone to do the job instead of me, I am interested in whether someone has
already done similar tool (i.e. I was asking for if that tool exists or not).
Anyhow the problem is solved, since I have created the tool I was looking for.
Cheers,
