A first GUI based x64 software protector for developers

Nowadays, shareware programmers simply need to protect their programs to secure their income. Estimates on how much money is annually lost from cracking and illegal use of software vary big time. But the point is that money is lost, not just money, it is your (the developer) money that is lost. Hence, you need to take steps to protect your programs from being used illegally. In order to create the best defense, one needs to know the enemie. However, it is a long and difficult way to learn everything about cracking: it takes years to get there. The goal with the lARP64 technology is to do this for you and to create the protection for your (the programmer) revenues. This was the starting point to create lARP64Pro.
 
lARP64Pro has become a 64 bit anti-piracy and anti-cracking program with implemented compression, based on LZMA technology. It works on any windows x64 operating system. Protecting a program does not affect the original application’s functionality nor does it require additional coding, unpacking and decryption are performed automatically. This whole process is not noticed by the protected application. Also, protected programs run without extracting files to disk.

lARP64Pro compresses and protects all native 64 bit applications. Although lARP64Pro is primarily created for developers, it has been a special concern to provide an easy tool in its handling. It suffices to click a couple buttons to protect an executable against piracy and cracking. Still, a movie is available from the website for more visual assistance.

LARP64Pro is created in a way that it will provide secure protection for your own licensing system. The protector defends and hides all sensitive code from crackers or other illegal actions by its multiple protection system based on the in-house developed lARP64 technology. It not only uses the well-known redirection methods of Windows APIs but lARP64Pro pushes these methods another level up. Additionally, a long list of  methods have been implemented in a renovating way. Also, developers don’t need any source code changes or specific programming knowledge to protect their applications. Hence, you may continue using your own usual registration scheme, in fact, you are even advised to do so.

The before mentioned lARP64 technology is a new and advanced series of techniques, not only to detect and circumvent cracking, but also to hide the detection of every possible cracking attempt. It is a path to ensure that your application is uniquely protected whilst avoiding general cracking attacks. Based on this technique, lARP64Pro uses very annoying obfuscation and code hiding. To understand this better, one needs to know that a cracker breaks someone else’s code under debugger and/or disassembler. lARP64Pro makes the code’s readability under debugger and/or disassembler, a real pain. After a protection, the resulting assembler code can only be understood by stepping one line at a time. This makes cracking very hard and time consuming, especially since the code transformation is unpredictable.

Functionally unlimited versions of lARP64Pro are available for download. The professional packer-protector has been provided with evaluation capabilities without time limitation. LARP64Tech has also created LARP64Free, a freeware compressor. In case you need to decide if the compressor-only (lARP64Free) or if the combined protector is most appropriate for your specific needs, then you should be aware that lARP64Pro is far better suited if program security is required.

lARP64Pro allows to protect, license and distribute an unlimited number of applications and software at no additional cost. According to the developing team, lARP64Pro intentionally provides ‘only a few’ options to skip certain protection features so that this always results in the strongest protection. This also emphasizes the company’s intention to create tools that are particularly easy to work with. Additionally, the built-in compression reduces the overall size of the protected target till about 30% of the original, which is important in reducing download time over the intranet or internet.
