VB AntiCrack

The time and effort developers invest in their applications are completely ignored by those who try to break the software protection system and use the program illegally. Designed for Visual Basic programmers, VB AntiCrack provides them with a simple way to protect their original source code and prevent cracking attempts.

The principle VB AntiCrack relies on is that cracking requires string references to analyze the code of a Visual Basic application. Its purpose is to encrypt strings in the source code, also building decryption functions. Consequently, all the extractable string fields practically dissapear after the application is compiled. Cracking applications will only find encrypted code inside the program, so it should be much more difficult for them to do their 'job'.

The application is simple and intuitive enough for anyone to use. It can process Visual Basic projects (VBP files), logging all its actions and generating reports that you can easily export as a text file.

VB AntiCrack can extract a list of all the project files, ensuring their protection regardless of where they are located. To be more specific, it prompts you to move all the project files in a single location before starting.

There is a very handy option that enables you to configure VB AntiCrack to create a backup of the original file before applying any changes, so as to avoid data loss.

If Visual Basic is your language of choice, then VB AntiCrack is worth a try. It does not guarantee that your projects are completely safe, but it sure makes the job more difficult for those who try to crack them.  Obviously, it makes no sense using this application with VB projects released under a freeware license.
