The Enigma Protector

Executable files can be used to generate part of the code that was used to build an application, either for malicious purposes, or to attempt to solve issues. However, there are means of protecting such files, one of them being The Enigma Protector, a powerful tool that imposes a decent number of restrictions regarding usage and distribution.

The application can be used in a fair number of purposes, ranging from simply protecting the code from hackers, to generating and applying trial or license terms and conditions. Supported files are found under some of the most commonly used formats like EXE, SCR, DLL and OCX, so there shouldn't be any difficulties with the apps you're designing.

You get to work with a well-organized interface, allowing you to quickly access main features from a tree view of features, while the rest of the space hosts more in-dept settings. Amongst others, you get to tweak settings for registration, protection, virtualization, as well as a few miscellaneous controls.

Registration allows you to manage the way your application deploys itself on a given system, with the possibility to have registry keys encrypted. A hardware lock can be enabled with any of the available, as well as the possibility to encrypt the application based on a hardware ID.

What's more, you can enable a trial control ever the application so that it is not abusively used when not in terms with legal issues. In this regard, an integrated key generator can be used to provide a custom number of keys to distribute along with the application for activating all of its features.

A few other options give you the possibility to set up a splash screen, add a watermark, and even overwrite command lines or environment variables. Version and owner can also be modified or you can simply enable the application to automatically detect from content. Hitting the “Protect” button leaves you seconds away from the result.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that no developer should go about without tools like The Enigma Protector. It provides a friendly environment in which experience is only a must for several technical details. Provided features cover various application areas so the end result is close to impossible to crack.
