OS Compatibility

NEW THIS RELEASE,

General

• Now supports the most recent ansi and unicode builds of AutoHotkey_L by Lexikos.
  
• If upx cannot be found it will be searched for in the compiler directory or the path defined for Ahk2Exe.
  
• Fixed the hkc_tmp option, If temp build files already exist they will now be replaced with the new files.
  
• Log output for resource jobs with no description will now show the resource filename instead of '?'
  
• Log output for execution jobs with no description will now show the program filename instead of '?'
  
• Fixed a bug when saving options after a build would save the temp version info resource entry.
  

Gui

• Ahk build version menu improved and Ahk_L versions added to it.
  
• All browse/save dialog requests should now work as you would expect them too.
  
• Fixed bugs in resource and execution tabs where a job element could not be added without a description.
  
• Fixed a bug in auto version info inclusion where clicking build multiple times would stop it working.
  
• Added alternate packer commandline string field to the options tab.
  
• Browsing for alternate build files will auto fill the path and filename if the relative edit boxes are empty.
  
• Using the ~np switch will disable camo options and the user seed box becomes the password box.
  

Config

• Added the ~np commandline option to disable the camouflage process of the fuzzing procedure.
  
• The hkc_rnd option now accepts numbers and characters and controls camo options or password.
  
• The hkc_alt option now holds any upx or alternate packer commandline string. hkc_pak still enables it.

resources HotkeyCamo AutoHotkey Ahk2Exe compiler protection prevent decompiler

[aaffe]

Do you know?:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22975
Edit: Downloaded your 7z-program. Without source code I wont trie it..

[truevis]

How does this differ in effectiveness with Compile_AHK II using the NoDecompile option?

[Mobius]

@aaffe & truevis
Lol, Does that tool you hold in such regard actually offer any protection against a real decompiler???
(Not the decompiler that ships with Ahk!)

I think not. Nice looking tool though, kudos to its author but you cannot compare his work and mine, they are both too different.

HkC is primarily for protecting against real decompilers, the fact that it allows you to perform the process of the build as well is circumstantial.

@aaffe
No offense but I doubt that you would understand the source, it is awful.
Even if I were dumb enough to break the condition set by Chris the Admin,
about someone making a script cracking utility out of it.

Try it don't try it, What you don't know (understand) can't harm you I guess.
perhaps i am out of line with this statement but if you had just read you would see that there are no comparisons really

[majkinetor]

Having a source would be much more fun I guess.
For people that are scared of running suspicious tools ==> Sandboxie.

Thx for the app Mobious. Very nice.

Thankyou majkinetor,

good to see the old community members are still active. *Phew*

Unless the Admin or a moderator asks for the source, or say::
"sure dude post it we don't really care".

I like that tool that I was directed to, It looks like the author has really
nailed automating the ahk build procedure.

Currently in HkC beta, if you set the environment variable HKC_TMP = 1
and just execute HkC without a script value, it will fuzz the compiler and the stub,
but it will leave them in the directory.

These modified build components could surely be used in the Compile_AHK II build procedure could they not?

[Mobius]

Thx Elesar

I am not a closed source person, I personally do not see how the source for
hkc could be used as a script cracking util, other than pointing out to people
things that they can find themselves with their own 2 eyes, oh and maybe
a hex editor and binary comparison utility (or any real decompiler).

As soon as I get the nod I will put the source (which is written in purebasic btw)
into the release as well.

HotkeyCamo 0.6.1 beta is here,

All changes have been documented and amended in first post.

I hope y'all have as much fun using it as I have writing it, I am not
here to replace other types of build solutions that people have written,
merely provide an alternative that offers some things that others do
not. (Protection)

Respect ahk community

Vlad

[n-l-i-d]

Very nice! Thanks Mobius.

[Mobius]

Thanks dude much appreciated.

a relatively minor update 0.6.2b this time.
HkC online help page

issues addressed and functionality added was a direct result of feedback so many thanks to all concerned.

amendments made to first post.

Please tell me what is the problem

Yo kaka,

The problem you are showing means that HkC cannot find the files::

Ahk2Exe.exe
AutoHotkeySC.bin.

If you did not put HkC into your autohotkey compiler directory (recommended) you will need to edit the file MCECS.ahk (the one showed in your picture) and specify alternate paths to these files with the options 'hkc_a2e' and 'hkc_bin' to the config section in that file like so::

[Mobius]

Please see first post for links and information

Last update of HotkeyCamo for 2009 had to be a fairly decent one in my opinion, so I went all out for a non beta release in version 0.7.3.

Nutshell:

#~ Massive backward compatibility support for older builds of Ahk.

#~ Can now attempt to autodetect build versions.

#~ Improved pathfinding with macros and environment vars being parsed in all option strings

#~ Improved help document (online & chm) And much much more.

If you downloaded 0.6.2 sorry about that *cough*, please consider 0.7.3, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Respect

Vlad
