Debugger protection, boxedappsdk virtual process

Post by gkoukou »

Hi again,

Since I show in the email I received when I bought the product that you are promoting boxedappsdk you might be interested for this.

debugger protection is not working in a process created out of a virtual file created by boxedappsdk.

I attached vs2005 to the process with no problem at all. Also IsDebuggerRunning() returns FALSE.

I could use some tip on howm to correct this behavior

Regards,

George

I am :)
Sorry for the delay. Am I right that you bundled the protected file and the debugger detection doesn't work in that bundled file when it is being executed?

Not exactly but kind of

First I use vmprotect to protect a process

Then I include the protected process as a resource in another process

At runtime the "father" process loads the protected processes's data from resources and creates a virtual file using boxedappsdk. It then executes this virtual file (by calling createprocess API). The child process runs ok

If I attach vs2005 debugger to this child process the debugger attaches ok and the child process does not terminate with the specified message as it should.

We plan to improve the anti-attach tricks in next versions of VMProtect.
