    advanced protection

    I need an advanced protection scheme including: anti soft ice, anti debuggers, anti decompiling and a LONG registration key (60 chars or so) based upon a user name and a hard drive serial number.
    Does anyone know where I can find one? I would also like any tips you may have to make a program more secure.
    Thank you

    What's it for? Just curious on that, since you seem to be asking for something fairly unusual.

    What language? Decompiling doesn't work real well on exe files unless you're working with .NET.

    If the situation is so extreme that somebody might actually go through the bytes of an exe to decompile the program, the only solution would be to encrypt the actual code, and write a second program that would decrypt the code and run it. That could be done in a highly secure fashion, since the decrypting program could itself be hacked without compromising the encryption (if you were willing to go so far as to use a hardware key).

    Though now that I think about it, with the USB memory cards, if the situation was correct, you could carry the program with you at all times, and you would be the security.

    It’s for VB6. It’s for a program i'm working on and the people that might get a hold of it are good enough to crack it fairly easily. The USB card is a good idea but I need it to give the key over the internet as it would be hard to travel around the country

    I have an algorithim I created. The key looks like:

    473208312B4575A6A48C5BAEBE1DCE2D

    email me or reply if you want some of the code. I might create a new one though, because its a secret sort of.. lol its based on the hdserial.

    cheers,

    EDIT:
    Shaggy Hiker,
    I like your ideas, do you have any examples? I like the encrypting the program and having another program decrypt then run.
