Re: UPX - Saint or sinner?
Honestly with todays huge hard-drives I really don't care if the exe is 100K or 10 MBytes, it's the same to me...
It's only one exe (for one application), it's not like MP3s, where you have hundrets...
I think the UPX compresses the exe, and then encapsulates that exe in it's own exe (or something like that), when you run the exe, it un-zips, and runs the un-zipped exe, then closes itself. That explains why you can't use rar or zip to compress it further, because internally it's already zipped...
Re: UPX - Saint or sinner?
It's weird that I am in the minority here...I'd have thought many people used this program :-)
Although I admit that most people who use this sort of program are hackers trying to hide their trojaned file by packing it into one file stream :-)
