You NEED To release an UPDATE SUPPORT XLSPADLOCK

I have loaded xlspadlockmanager exe in the debugger…debugger detected. Your software is protected. I have load OUR compiled exe in a debugger…and guess what YOU CAN GO MAD…XLSpadlock I hope you answer this question as this is a security concern for all your customers and myself too. I am still waiting for an answer on my previous question as it was not answered and my test today confirmed it -compiled xlspadlock exe files can FREELY be opened by debuggers and decompilers and re-engineered…BIG CONCERN Hope you can address this IMMEDIATELY

P.S Your validation with the Woo commerce Kit is USELESS as it can be removed by a debugger. Your manual activation module can also be reverse engineerd because its not debugger safe


Can you please elaborate what protection ?

Any software program can be decompiled and re-engineered nowadays, but only if the attacker has strong skills and means to do it. It is easy to attach an EXE with a debugger but then? Have you managed to go further?

We don’t add anti debugger features to XLS Padlock EXE files because it would trigger even more false positives with antivirus programs. Such a protection would require code signing at least and all of our customers don’t want to buy a certificate.

Now, XLS Padlock EXE files can also be more protected with third-party security software which offer for instance anti-debugger techniques. This means you can go further in protection if you are afraid of debuggers and decompilers.

But keep in mind that a skilled attacker knows how to bypass such anti-debugger functionalities. It is just a matter of time and knowledge. This is also true with any other Excel compiler software on the market…

Our anti-piracy protection consists in making reverse engineering more difficult thanks to code virtualization. This is the same as obfuscation but at machine code level. For instance, code that deals with activation keys is virtualized so if you try to debug it, it will not be easy.

Just also search for “XLS Padlock crack” and you will only find hawks or disguised malware. It’s not that our software is not crackable, it’s just difficult to do it and, as before, it requires time, knowledge and resources.

Awesome answer thank you XLSPADLOCK SUPPORT… You can really unhide this as your answer have put me to rest that there ARE some sort of protection in your software. That is good to know I am more at ease now…sorry for the alarm bells but your answer was good I am a happy customer now.

If you can kindly just answer my other 2 questions…you may delete the other question on reverse engineering you answer it. Thank you support

If I may ask you what cost will a certificate be roughly ?
Thanks

Thank you…if you can please just respond to my question on the forum regarding saving a workbook only by a button and menu file exit. I need some help there please

Can you kindly look at this…basic function not working with the software
Application.Visible = False (Workbook_Open event) XLS Padlock

In my orginal xlsm file Application.Visible = False works fine it hides the excel application…if I run this after your exe compile it doesnt work -what must be changed for this to work ? when the executable is executed the excel must be hidden behind my userform(MainMenu). Works perfectly in normal Excel. I dont want to load excel worksheet before the form. If your software cannot manage this I will require a refund as this is A MUST HAVE elementary Function I require to WORK and function correc…
