Best Protection: ASProtect 2 or Armadillo 4?

On this time I don't know any solution for reversing EXECryptor 2.x.

Bullshit... what new concept? Asprotect has it with Polymorph marker features...
Armadillo uses strategic code splicing which is lame but still the concept has always been there...

So is EXECryptor 2.x really better or at least as good as ASProtect 2 or Armadillo protections? I've just searched for it here and there are only two threads that have a reference to it and this one is one of them.

Are you sure your prog. is protected?

You have the answer!
do you need that I post the key?

I currently use some of the techniques recommended by ASProtect and the result is that my software has not been cracked for 10 months now

If with all the techniques recommended by ASProtect you don't use HARDWARE ID...I suggest you a change!!!

Well ... this is kinda hard to choose.. becuase ASPR is a better protection for bigger PE files and ARM is agood protector for 0day small PE files
so...
wich one is better ?
none i gess... becuase they both can be Unpacked...

*NOTE:
i recall that i saw an app writen in VB that the PE file was 50MB size and protected with Arm... it was runing real slow.. after i unpacked it i tried to see what would happend if it was Packed with ASPR.. it just run like it should be...

So..
From the protection point of view.. Arm is better...
From the User point of view... ASPR is better
From the CRACKER point of view... WHO CARE.. they both can be unpacked

Best to all
