Re: VMProtect .NET not renaming symbols
Since WCF requires to know the method and type names at runtime. But it does appear to properly obfuscate all symbols. Its just that it breaks WCF. Would it be possible to get a version that handles WCF contracts so I can use the newer version? Could you send us a test example (original EXE+VMP fil...

Re: VMProtect .NET not renaming symbols
What build of VMProtect do you use? Ok I've realized my mistake, I was using an older build because of the issues I experience with 3.5. Basically in 3.5 VMProtect also obfuscates names of all WCF data contracts which causes the application to crash. Since WCF requires to know the method and type n...

Re: VMProtect .NET not renaming symbols
Some more information... If I open the EXE with a native decompiler like IDA, it appears most of the symbols are indeed obfuscated. However, it varies per each pass of VMProtect, sometimes certain symbols don't get renamed. It seems totally random. But yes if I use a standard .NET decompiler (Jetbra...

Re: VMProtect .NET not renaming symbols
Do you use the "Strip Debug Information" option? It renames symbols for .NET applications. Yes, I've always had this options enabled. Should I be compiling against a certain version of the .NET framework? My project configuration is as follows: https://i.gyazo.com/3550a21f6a55627c4b0425f3...

VMProtect .NET not renaming symbols
My .NET application is protected with VMProtect .NET (latest version), but when I open the program with a common decompiler, the names of functions and variables are still as they were pre- protection. I read in a prior thread from 2020 that this was planned to be fixed, but I'm using the latest ver...

Command Line VMProtect problem
I have configured my project to run VMProtect at the post- compilation stage. For some reason an issue has arisen where it takes forever to complete in the final stage "saving startup code" even though using the GUI interface completes the compilation almost immediately. Is there something...

Re: VMP for .NET
thank you, I received the email. its working great even while protecting a large application. one thing I did notice is that the application will crash when a virtualized function returns a value by ref keyword.Admin wrote:The .NET support was added in the version 3.4.

Re: No functions for protection with kernel- mode driver
Solved by using a PDB file instead. I guess I had to delete the .map file for VMP to notice that PDB file.

No functions for protection with kernel- mode driver
I recently purchased the professional version of VMProtect. But I'm having a problem where there are no functions for protection showing when attempting to protect a kernel- mode driver, even with a map file generated. I can still apply protection by manually specifying the entry point of those func...

Problems with virtualization
I've been using the software without issue for over a year now. But recently I've experienced a problem while protecting a certain area of my program. It seems to be some kind of incompatibility with the MSVC compiler, because sometimes the program works just fine after virtualization. But 8 times o...
