Homes32, nhà phát triển PhoenixPE (PEBakery), có công cụ ProtectPE trong trình tạo của nó. Nhưng ProtectPE cũng không sử dụng mã hóa thực sự:
Usage
ProtectPE provides various methods to discourage and prevent unauthorized use of your PE Environment.
Options include:
Password Protection - Require a password to be entered in order to load the shell.
Expiration Date - Restrict usage to a specific date range. After the date has passed outside the configured range the shell will no longer load. This can be useful to force the user to keep up with the latest software/builds or prevent use outside the intended time period.
Disclaimer
While this software will prevent casual/novice users from loading your PE environment, it will not prevent an experienced admin/developer with the proper knowledge and tools from modifying the PE environment or extracting the software, files, etc. it may contain. Do not rely on ProtectPE to secure sensitive information; if you require true security place your PE on a self-encrypting USB stick.
