Software Security

Hello guys! Ill try being as straightforward as possible and not confuse anyone. Ive ran an online game for quite a few years and until last year the cheaters have pretty much stayed away. Now its becoming a huge deal and having no real knowledge in packers and software protection, Im in need of some type of a software protector / packer that would make the game "undetectable" to bots in a manner so that they wouldnt work or recognize the game. It wont matter if its in a way that new bots/cheats can be made easily. 99% of the problems would be solved if only none of the current bots/cheats wouldnt work. The game itself is just 1 executable that you start and then you …

I made a program called "cryptex". Although it has several limitations and severe drawbacks - I think that the security is quite strong here's how it works : The file to be encrypted must be below 0FFFFFh bytes - or 1mb. A keyfile is generated exactly 1mb of size. the keyfile contains FFFFF random bytes. When encrypting - the program loads byte 1 of keyfile and byte 1 of target and it xors. then it moves on to 2 and to 3 ... to the end of the file. Each source byte is xored with a totally different byte from the keyfile. So exactly how secure is this? Thanks note : an early version is included cryptex.rar

As some of you will know, I have written a packer (haven't we all) What is the best way to get files compressed by my packer to be known by AV companies as safe? Is there some site to upload files for processing, like VirusTotal but the other way round? The loader code is very simple, so smart AV software will probably have no problem unpacking it and checking for malware, but I mean for the others that detect everything unknown as suspicious. Have fun! BoB
