Protection ID v6.3.5 – 2009.12.24
hello folks!
we are proud to present you the next and most up2date version of protection id.
it was about time to bring this to the public, as the last version was released back in march.
during development of this version we ported it over to MASM v10,
using the latest compiler & linker available at the moment.
this version of pid features highly optimized scanning routines, resulting in very fast detections 
i.e. a 2 GB setup.exe in processed in less then 1 second (smart mode kicks in).
we tweaked nearly all scans to benefit from our new procs.
core additions / changes
– new: compiled using masm v10 compiler & linker
– new: added in new and optimized scanning routines
– new: protection id is now able to scan inside msi files
– new: clean temp tool (Extensions -> Clean Temp)
– new: added in our own fast internal zlib decompresion routines
– new: compiler detector updated to detect:
– more Visual C++
– appended flash files
– Power Basic
– Watcom C/C++
– MinGW
– GoASM
– update: reporting part on file type, now reports bitness & file subsystem
– update: added in recovery system – if a crash happens when scanning a file/cd/dvd and the crash is in the scanning thread,
the seh system will ‘recover’ the crash, skipping all other scan modules and simply clean things up.
So a crash when scanning does NOT take protection id down (the crash is reported to the log)
– update: windows error code resolver dialog got a face lift and some added functionality
– update: initial modification to report cpu usage on ALL available cores
– update: shortcuts are now not made if pid is run from a removable drive
– update: added in reporting for uac setting in vista or higher
– update: scan size threshold increased to 50mb
– update: added in the nfo association configuration
– update: compiler detection enabled by default now
– update: adjusted the way the systray worked
– double left click on the pid icon will cause the pid window to be shown / hidden
– right click on the pid icon will cause the right click systray context menu to appear
– bugfix: cab file handler bug fixed
– bugfix: scan file on cd/dvd did not work
– bugfix: fix for shortcuts getting fucked
– bugfix: fixed bug in the seh system, which lead to a crash
– bugfix: file queue stuff (pause, remove, clear all) fully operational again
– bugfix: logic fix, checking section count could technically be wrong if exe was x64
– bugfix: selecting scan folder 2x resulted in it messing up
– bugfix: minor adjustment to avoid closing an invalid handle
– bugfix: fixed output bug on small files
– bugfix: fixed a possible win9x issue
– bugfix: minor gui fixes

core additions / changes
– new: incorporated PEiD / PE Tools database usage
-> additionally displays the protection found via the userdatabases
-> peid database is expected to be in the same folder as protection id
and should be called peid_database.txt
-> petools database is expected to be in the same folder as protection id
and should be called petools_signs.txt
– enable/disable: go to Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> peid / petools (3rd party scan)
– once enabled you can browse the signature files when
clicking the ‘Extensions’ tab (second icon from the bottom right)
– note: in cases of multiple hits, the highest probability is automatically figured out and reported
– new: work on compiler detection began
-> The compiler detection simply reports what compiler was used to make
the executable, It can also sometimes report the programming language
the executable was made with.
current detections: dotnet, visual basic & visual basic.net, some visual c/c++, borland c++, delphi
enable/disable: Configuration -> Allowed Scanning Types -> Enable Compiler Detection Scan
– new: tooltip preview (configurable option in the settings – under the gui portion)
– new: added in drive type reporting in the misc tools section
– new: added in option in configuration to dedicate 1 cpu to scanning core (if multiple cpu’s are found on the system)
– new: added in little pause/resume button in the main dialog (green circle when you load pid)
– new: added in activity reporting on hdd reads, pid is so quick though, you may not notice it,
but on large files, its useful because its an indicator pid is doing something
– update: turned on scan inside microsoft cab files as default
– update: added more informative comments into pe stuff
– update: file queue now reports the amount of files it has processed
– update: updated detection routine to report dll compiled in native mode
– update: folderwatch cleanup now works and reporting is handled correctly
– update: updated version info core to handle ‘strange’ exes with fucked version info,
or version information that version.dll does not ‘see’
– update: fixed some imports so that pid now loads on windows nt 4.0 (and probably 3.x)
without the system throwing an import missing error and exiting the process
– update: services now disables itself if the os is 9x/me (9x/me doesnt have ‘services’)
shares also disables itself if the os is 9x/me (api not present in these os’es)
– update: gui -> cd/dvd tools and the folderwatch buttons are now automatically disabled if
the operating system is windows 9x/me (ie: less than windows 2000)
– update: folder location shell32 output now made 9x/me compliant(old comctl32.dll listview issue)
– update: added in minimize to systray if its set in the configuration
if set, pid will minimize itself when its loaded for the first time
– update: added in another handler for smbios, its quicker, but only available in vista or higher
– update: windows product key updated code, now should be good for all windows versions except nt 4.0
– update: windows product key is now also reported for 9x/me
– update: updated code so that windows 95, windows nt 3.x and nt 4.x do NOT have ownerdrawn menus
(95 couldn’t handle them properly anyway, and nt 3/4 had issues too)
– update: added battery reporting into misc tool window
– update: dep reporting done in misc tools information section
– update: fixed icons in 9x looking too big (now pid looks the same in 98, me, 2k, xp, vista)

– update: added in pause checking into the cab file handler
– update: progress bar resets once scan is complete
– update: added in animated rect for sizing (work in progress)
– update: added tooltip to sizer window

– bugfix: fixed crash issue when viewing reloc information on some x64 files
– bugfix: silent exit / crash issue fixed in win2000 server
– bugfix: fixed position saving bug (reported by Blazkowicz)
– bugfix: fixed os detecton (win nt was detected as 2000)
– bugfix: fixed the strange drag -> drop, file added to queue but scanning not started bug
– bugfix: fix for buffer overrun error when saving a protection log containing lots and lots of files
– bugfix: folderwatch – fixed crash when trying to add more than 2 folders
– bugfix: dirty buffer used in folderwatch reporting code
– bugfix: 9x sizing issue fixed
– bugfix: fixed some problems with windows 95 original (before 95a, 95b and 95c…) where the versioninfoex struct
is expected to be a different size, this resulted in a failure in detecting the operating system
– bugfix: various other tweaks & fixes…

– added Protect DiSC v8.0.4 detection
– added Protect DiSC v8.0.5 detection

now, and caters for ALL versions currently using a generic algo

– update: main menu -> eject cd/dvd got boosted, now we have a ‘load’ as well
allowing you to eject/load cd/dvd disks into the system from the systray…
(obviously requires hardware support, but most systems do it)
now people dont need shitty little systray programs to open/close their cd/dvd drives
pid does it… and much much much more… wheeeeeee ;p
– update: main menu -> eject cd/dvd + load cd/dvd got made multi threaded, because on ‘load’ the gui could
appear frozen, while the operating system reads cd/dvd to get toc and so on, which
does not look good, this way, it works and its responsive (main aim is, that regardless
of what pid is doing, the gui should always be responsive, so the user does not think it has hung…)
– update: sfv ‘keeps’ its dir for saving the sfv file so its saved in the same dir
– update: scratchpad – ctrl+a to select all is now implimented (requested by Blazkowicz),
this is now global for the other subclassed editboxes too….

– bugfix: memory optimiser – gui adjusted, check boxes were too close together
for some.. now they’re nicely spaced out…
– bugfix: cd/dvd sector scan code was somehow broken
– bugfix: disable inet access, do a right click and select ‘update’,
it will crash (reported by Blazkowicz) – fixed
– bugfix: output of a filename with an umlaut caused a crash (because seh data wasn’t there) – fixed
2007.10.14
– new: configuration option ‘supress cd/serial string reporting’ and ‘cd/dvd checks’
– new: added in smooth window transitions configuration setting, allows you
to choose if you want fast or smooth window changing
– new: added in -safe commandline to force pid to launch in safemode (where plugins etc
will not be loaded) registry will still be processed etc, but any bad data will be
reset, and plugins will not be loaded this allows the user to recover from fuckups.
current commandline list:
-auto -> loads pid with windows when it loads (auto start)
-cons -> starts pid in console mode (test purposes only)
-scdf -> scan drive/folder mode (additional params in commandline expected)
-sfvc -> checks sfv file (sfv filename expected to be an additional param in the commandline)
-scan -> scans file (filename expected to be an additional param in the commandline)
-safe -> impliments safe mode (action is not taken yet tho)
– new: pid reports if safemode is active in the log window

desktop shortcut is not checked… looks better
– update: suspicious mz reporting now tightened (also, possiblity of e_lfanew
being null and causing crash also fixed)
– update: adjusted drag and drop functionality for windows and sub windows
ie: window currently shown is the ‘active’ drag/drop target, if you see the ‘+’ appear
on the cursor when dragging, the window supports drag/drop, if you see the ‘no’ sign
appear then it doesnt.. before dragging anything onto the pid window caused it to scan
the file… this behaviour has been changed… to have pid scan a file on drag/drop
you MUST have the log window open… otherwise it goes to the other handlers…
