ASProtect 2.56 SKE - polymarker

[deepzero]

Hi,

I wanted to experiment a little with asprotects virtualization options and tried to virtualize a simple function:

int deepzero(int x){User_Polymarkerint y = 22;
y = (y * x) /5;
y += 100;return (y);
}

But it doesnt work, User_Polymarker is not defined.

The polymarker stuff is defined in a file called PB.inc, but it doesnt look like c++ to me...:

' PB include fileMACRO USER_POLY_BUFFER = ! DB &HEB, &H04, &HEB, &H05, &H39, &H19MACRO CRC_BEGIN
! DB &HEB, &H04, &HEB, &H05, &H19, &H01, &HE9, &H25, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00
! DB &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00
! DB &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00, &H00
END MACRO.....

So how can i use the polymarker feature in my MSVC++08 IDE?

edit:

This is what the help file says about it:

C/C++ markers are defined via include directive (*.h or *.inc files) and appear as a special sequence of the assembly code that is detected by ASProtect in the protection phase.

You can find markers usage examples in your ASProtect installation directory.

Uhm, did some testing, let me see if I can find the notes I made. Make sure you're using up some registers (like doing a mov eax, blah) so ASPro can use it as junk register till next register assignment.

Edit: Didn't find the notes, unfortunately. Also had troubles finding the headers in a retail release, the demo though got it:

Unable to type. ;)

Thanks, where did you find that header though? What was it called?

I checked a demo and a retail installer, no header files there :/

[metr0]

C:\Program Files (x86)\ASProtect SKE\Examples\SDK\UserBuffer\VC\Include

ASProtect version is 2.56 build 03.17.

[deepzero]

I have exactly the same version, but the SDK directory is missing here...

[metr0]

I deleted your previous post as you seem to have found it. Sorry if it wasn't meant to be deleted?

[deepzero]

I am using your code now and its working.

I have a 2.56 build 03.17. retail and a trial here neither of them contains a SDK dir in the "Examples"...

thanks!

deep, try this
