>>>Using ReFox to brand an encrypted application will make it so another person using ReFox can not decompile it. Using another decompiler will not respect this and it will attempt to decompile the application. However, as Michel posted, ReFox's encryption algorithm is very good and I haven't heard of any one being able to decompile an encrypted application either. There was one company that claimed they could, but they are out of business now so I don't think their claims were well founded.

I discovered this after I'd PAID for a copy of refox and it really pissed me off.

Victor,
It sounds like you found the bits where the Brand is stored and you are removing it so ReFox thinks it's a normal decompile job. If I were Xitech, I would give you a free copy and and thank you for your work (while I figured out a new way to encrypt the Brand and a checksum so you couldn't do it again < s >). But that's just me.

Cool job!
