Exists a Flash Exe created with Zinc Decompiler?
Exists a Flash Exe created with Zinc Decompiler?
I test to decompile a flash exe created with Zinc 2.5 and not have result, for the moment, VB Decompiler Pro:
https://www.vb-decompiler.org/
He says that it may be compiled with Delphi...
I test with some delphi decompilers and says not are Delphi...
My intention is know if is secure - totally is impossible - a Flash Exe compiled with Zinc, my intention not is decompile programs, is for secure my code...
Any know a Flash Exe compiled with Zinc Decompiler?
Thanks in advance...

if it would be compiled with Delphi, then it's pointless to decompile
names for variables, procedure, functions etc are not part of the exe
leaving it very difficult to understand what's actually happening
just be carefull with clear text constants

Can try first off to see if the exe is really an executable with details using TrID
- http://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html
Thereafter run bintext to see any plain strings in the exe which is good to see any "backdoor" or "callbacks" URL
- http://www.mcafee.com/sg/downloads/free-tools/bintext.aspx
Next off, if the above is not significant in findings, then probably run exe2swf to see if there is any active swf embedded within the exe. It is not a decomplier though. - http://www.northcode.com/blog/Extract-SWF-files-from-Flash-Executables
We can also try 7zp to see if the exe is really a "exe" itself (we expect the tool cannot surface any "archive" unless it is specially prepared exe)
- www.7-zip.org/
Finally, the decompiler is probably to make a final check to see if there are any further embeds within the exe. - https://www.free-decompiler.com/flash/features/

Well, Trid do this:
I not know the free swf decompiler:

I attempt to decompile, but nothing...
An exe make with Zinc 2.5 are here, for if any want to check if get decompile:

Is make by me, is original... And do all rights to attempt to decompile...
Thanks btan and Geert Gruwez...
The exe not need external dll's, is complete, only have secundary swf's for look of the program, but the main swf are totally into the exe...

Maybe use the legit exe compiled by Zinc to see it also generate out the similar assessment on the probably exe categories. We can also try another tool, PEid to ascertain the exe composite have UPX resources - https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/PEiD
The bintext would have list out the any interesting strings and apparently there is nothing returned if you have run against the exe. The "UPX" is a common packer used to "hide" certain code within the exe and we can try to unpack using UPX CLI i.e. "upx -d <filename>" command"- https://upx.github.io/
However, if the upack fails, there is manual means to extract the UPX - but not straightforward but doable if follow the steps in http://www.behindthefirewalls.com/2013/12/unpacking-upx-file-manually-with-ollydbg.html (PE Explorer is worthy tool for also being an unpacker but needs fees)

I check your exe and this is definitely Delphi application behind...and compressed with upx.
Upx can be decompressed, but there is a scrambled version too....
I use simple gui for upx...and unpack your exe... and easy see your Form1 (Delphi dfm):
When you have this uncompressed exe - you can use DeDe or similar... but Delphi app cannot be decompiled easily...

Upx gui is for decompressing exe. Later - use Resource Hacker to see what is in Resource part of exe.
I don't get - what you want to accomplished?

Another thing, I not understand the fear PANIC in software companies with Flash...
In my opinion Flash are maybe the more better language make, easy, fast to program, much better quality in visual effects than html5, many more, and animations, are wonderfull, I know programa in C, VB, Flash, Javascript, but flash for my is the better language make...
But there is a complete attempt to eliminate!!!
I think it's because it is too good and the USA Software Companies not like that any person make a superprogram in graphic look with minimal time and code...
Well, Zinc 4.0 at now are free, and write in your web that in near time disappear:

The help web pages is possible dissapear, and I make today a complete copy - download pages with inet and VB6 - of all the Help of Zinc 4.0:

Thanks for sharing. There is no foolproof and we can just add layer to the exe to deter but not prevent tampering unless it has a self check signature to exit prior running its code. I do not think Zinc does integrity checks though. Nonetheless, objective is to make it harder which minimally has set certain bar already here.
Ok, I check some exe's with the exescope and UPX Easy Gui, and, for example, HelpSmith:
http://www.helpsmith.com
The exe do this in exeScope and UPX Wasy GUI:
Appear to be are hard protect...
How to protect - totally is impossible - the maximum possible?
HelpSmith how protect the Exe, any know? At least a little as they have done...
Thanks another time, this topics of protect, are very interesting I believe... VB6 at begon, how have Native code Compilation, appear are good protection, but not are native if VB Decompiler extract all and let a Project VBP almost complete...
Not are a program that convert to pure machine code an exe?
Because in pure machine code - assembly at least, not know if assembler are the same of pure machine code - the variables and many are only 0 and 1, and yes, is possible know the code, but let many abtract and are a good protection, is difficult know how work the code if are in assembler or pure machine code, I believe...

Do you have any further query - pardon me as I am kinda of lost in your post.
The principle of protection of exe has to do with that extra layer (like how UPX is done but probably is to use other encryptor or packer as compared to UPX packer) on top of the Zinc MDM doing which is that packed binary is unpacked then I will say it may be possible for SWF extraction from Zinc MDM compiled exe though I have not delve deeper or so far done to my best knowledge.

I suggest upx scrambler before... Get another upx gui with scrambler included... Apply it on upx compressed exe.
Thanks Sinisa for the other UPX...

There is no foolproof - can check out pelocker - https://www.pelock.com/ to enhance the protection of the exe .. but ... there are also candidate that attempt to extract - see MultiExtractor - http://www.multiextractor.com/
MultiExtractor can detect packed executable and DLL files. There is a general detection algorithm that works on UPX and other packers. After detection process is loaded into memory where data is extracted. You may command to process unpacking by "force unpack" in extract mode window.
MultiExtractor can search, extract or unpack hidden video / movie files:
3GP, ASF, AVI, BIK, DAT, FLC, MOV, MP4, MPG, MPQ, SMK, SWF.

I wouldn't say PHP in web is secure - it is back to basic of secure coding and running thru the pentest and static code review to ascertain the level of assurance. See this working draft of OWASP for PHP security in areas of coding and configuration for a summary its collective implementation (snapshot)
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/PHP_Security_Cheat_Sheet
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/PHP_Configuration_Cheat_Sheet
Eventually when the software runs, all the decryption and decoding done, it is plain "naked" in the memory and up to the OS platform and application (including debugger) that can contribute to exploit or compromise its integrity. That is beyond the executable means for further securing its footprint - key is to make sure the data it carries stay intact and remain as-is till it executed. The rest of it is depending on the logic and other external safeguard like "sandbox" as the watchdog for its processes ... that is best effort and secure coding is to close up low hanging vulnerability for other to pick up - software is always with bugs.

I've been using PELock for a while - rock solid protection, very nice author (Barthosz) and this new version v2.0 has SO MUCH features I can't recommend it enough https://www.pelock.com just look what this guy does, expert software from expert author.
It's pricey - but it has LIFETIME upgrades and LIFETIME support with the price, 100% worth it if you ask me.

PELock is the best software protector on the market right now and we have tested most of them. We bought the standard license for 999 USD and it's totally worth the price, tons of features, DLL libraries binder built-it, anti-cracking & anti-debugging features, extensive SDK, have a look

I never thought PELock was so popular, I'm using it to protect my AutoIt bots, it's pretty handy utility to apply licensing to any application even without touching its source codes and works like a charm, what more can I say, great product that does the job right, highly customizable too.

Too bad it is so expensive, will be good PELock may have an option to charge for protecting one program, for example, 10 US$ for only protect one program ... Apart from the general option to purchase whole life at 999 US$... Is possible with this service of protect one programa earn many money, because pay 999US$ inmediately, are difficult... In global world the little prices have many success... Envato - www.envato.com - for example It was and is a big deal, I bought aprox 6000 euros in the last years in envato, but because as the codes are 10-20US$, if you need something at some time, pay easily 10 to 20 US$ ... 999US$ in one time, is difficult pay...
Overalls because at the beginning is possible one programmer not know if the program will be successful, but, if in the begining is possible protect by little price, and after, if the program have success, after is possible pay the 999US$ for future updates... I think PELock will be good do this service for beginners programmers...
I not test, but PECompact are also good, but I believe have a fail, do 30 days test-trial, but if any open a virtual machine, install and protect any exe, any person is possible have infinite 30 days test-trial... PELock show a Windows that the protection are made with a demo version of PELock, PEcompact not do this message, but I not test if after 30 days the protection of PECompact not work... But if a program protected with PECompact demo 30 days trial work infinite, I think is a big error of the programmer of PECompact not show any window that inform the program is protected with a trial-demo version...

I never thought PELock was so popular, I'm using it to protect my AutoIt bots, it's pretty handy utility to apply licensing to any application even without touching its source codes and works like a charm, what more can I say, great product that does the job right, highly customizable too.

PECompact is technically a Windows executable compressor only, but plug-ins are available for it that offer protection against reverse-engineering (some sold separately by third-parties). Its PE+ (PE64) support is still pending as it requires a massive rewrite of the loader (decompression stub).
It is primarily a compressor compared to PELock. It do take note not to compress the
- icons needed for use by the shell so your shell view icons don’t disappear.
- version and manifest information
- any other type of resource you desire to be kept uncompressed.

Yes, I know, PELock it's very good, but need to have intermediate prices, with 999US$ have all life for protect - nothing is 100% protected in computers, is impossible the 100%, but many, ok - all programs any person like in all life...
But are very expensive, if do other options for only one program, I think is much better for PELock Bussiness...
I not pay 6.000 euros to Envato in the last years if have big prices, but with little prices, are 6.000 aprox I pay in the last years... I not believe purchase PELock at 999US$, one reason is why I have my proper more secure system of protection, I am making a program that DEMOSTRATE the Real Astrology - 99.99% of those who say Astrology are storytellers or hallucinated, but are a real astrology and I know how to demostrate, If someone laughs, I leave what he said all his life the greatest banker of all time https://www.google.es/?gws_rd=ssl#newwindow=1&q=%27J.+P.+Morgan%27+Astrology “Millionaires don't use Astrology, billionaires do.” -, but the program I sell not have the functions that calculate into it, I make a database that have the results of functions calculations, and is in my proper server in my house with optical fiber, the more better possible protection, and the program that make the calculations not are conected to wifi, net or any thing, is complete isolated and with arduinos I connect-disconnet pendrives that comunicate with the main pc that do the result to the clients...
But if PELock gave the option to protect one single program for a reasonable price, I would use in any of my programs - or in many of my programs -, but 999US$? No way ...
In my opinion programmers need to understand that big prices are for the world before 2004 aprox, at now the computers not are a thing special, Now is an appliance, and the high prices not are good marketing in a global world with minimum one Pc or Mobile in all the Houses...
But this is the problem of the PELock owner...

Because I have the more better protection possible, my server in my proper house and the pc that have the real software functions calculations, isolated and only communicate with the main server with Arduinos and Relays with Pendrives, because this, I not need PELock in reality, only comment that I think have poor marketing actions in a global world... And, if have middle options is possible, in any of my programs I use, for confort...
My Phater was professor of marketing in one of the most recognized marketing companies in Spain, almost all medium and large businesses in Spain in the 1960-80's received courses of my phater, in 1979 Venezuela created a ministry called "Ministry for the Development of Intelligence", and the Minister go to Spain to Search my Phater, My father's brother was Director of Sales of the American Express Card for the whole Northern Spain, I believe I know any about Marketing and Sell...
PELock need to do middle options, but if the owner like, is your bussiness and is your problem and is your decision...
But I think is possible the author of PELock wants not have many programs protected with your program, because, if popularized, it would be easier that some hacker hack...
