DLL Encryption

[Shawnmb]

Hey guys,
Not sure if anyone can answer this, but recently I've come across DLLs
that are somehow encrypted (the contents show as asian characters). Is
there a way to tell what encrypter was being used and possibly decrypt
them?

Thanks in advance.

Please, what does this have to do with C++ !!


You don't deserve any help here, but look for "Executable packer".

So what's your C++ question again?

Well, the DLLs are written in C++, figured I might find a decent answer
here.

How do you know they are written in C++ if they are encrypted ? It
should look like some bunch of random data. Anyway, try loading it
into a disassembler or analyse the application which is using the dll,
since that application obviously 'knows' how to decrypt the dll.

I agree with the others that this is all offtopic here, though ...

Not that we don't want to help you but this really isn't a C++
*language* question. Had we answered your question we would as well have
to answer thousands of other off-topic questions. Had we done that we
might lost some really on-topic questions, which is kind of unfair.
