dePE-PROTECT 0.9 beta
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Intro
~~~~~
This is ungeneric unpacker for files protected with PE-PROTECT 0.9 beta by
CHRiSTOPH GABLER. There is another unpacker written by Lorian/uCF but it
is only Win9x compatible and now you can decrypt PE-PROTECTed files on
WinNT/2k too. PE-PROT does not crypt resources section so no rebuilding
is needed and it's section is removed from the file (correct image size is
set in the PE header to let the file load on WinNT/2k). Full win32 assembler
source code is included.

Usage
~~~~~
Choose the file you want to unpack in the shown dialog box and if it is
protected with PE-PROTECT the file OUT.EXE will be created. BTW if you want
to get unpacked this protector itself you have much more work to do because
it is encrypted with PELOCKnt 2.04 layer (use xOANON's unpacker on it) and
then another internal encryption layer(s) which is(are) easy to rip.

Technical info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing special, HIEW does the whole work (only few fake instructions are
used). I found something interesting when analizing PE-PROT.EXE file. The
PE-PROT layer is not fully disassembled with W32Dasm 8.93 - it just ends
with instruction before decrypting the second layer. If someone is
interested in this bug in W32dasm, just remove the lines where the PE-PROT
section is removed from the file, recompile again the unpacker and then
use it on PE-PROT.EXE file.

CHRiS - What's up, man? Long time no see... Come back! We miss ya!  :)
Lorian - Great unpacker, great work on ProcDump modules.
tHE EGOiSTE - Wanna see my generic dumper? Probably it will help you to
  make tELock better than every other protector (I am using old DOS ideas,
  you should use them too ;) Anyways, good luck!
Da Fixer - DeDe rulez! Cheers (Absolute vodka rox :)
totnak, Daemon, gamumba, VAG, DarkGrey, Snow Panther, merlin, r!sc - I miss
  you all!
TMG members - I miss you all! You are the best reversers and coders I've ever
  seen! Keep up the good work!
