[v20.4] WinHex – Acclaimed hexadecimal editor for file, disk & RAM

In the DOS era, we generally used the PCTOOLS5.0 to edit file code, but since the FAT32 file system came out, PCTOOLS5.0 was unusable. Seldom excellent file code editor appeared until this WinHex from Germany, which can be regarded as the best hexadecimal editor for file, disk & RAM after the former.

Noesis – View and extract models and animations from 3D games

Noesis is a very powerful and easy to use universal game data unpacking tool, created and maintained by Rich Whitehouse. It is mainly used to preview, convert and extract/export (reverse engineer) all kinds of 3D resources/assets from PC and video games, and considered to be one of the must-have tools for making game MODs (Ninja Ripper is another).

Detect It Easy – Program for determining types of files

Packing a program is the most common way developers protect their software. Therefore, in order to crack some software, the first step is to detect whether it has been packed. Detect It Easy (DiE for Short) is a very powerful and easy-to-use PE packers detection tool developed by horsicq from Germany. It has very comprehensive and functional PE packer detection functions, simple operation, and is widely used as one of the most important auxiliary tools for software cracking for now.

[v2.4.6] WinLicense – Professional software protection and licensing management

If you are in the software development industry, perhaps a common shareware programmer, or an engineering manager, you need to protect your software. In order to prevent their software from being cracked or illegally used, all software developers will take various measures to protect their software. One of the most commonly used methods is the software registration mechanism.

[v3.0.4] Themida – Advanced Windows software protection system

In the current Internet environment, most commercial software can be cracked, and that is just a matter of cost and time at most. In order to protect their software from reverse engineering or cracking, almost all software developers use a lot of codes with complex encryption algorithms. That not only costs developers a lot of energy and expense, but also makes the program more chaotic and bloated, and the final effect is not obvious.
