which archiver/zip /packer is cubase falcon packed by

[charles]

I have the hacked version of Cubase audio falcon (ca2bbump.prg)
its been packed to reduce size ,,,

how do I find out which program has been used to pack it ?

[Gaiyan]

Open the archive in a hex editor and try to look for clues in the headers.

Edit: For example UPX packed programs have this near the beginning:

yes that's how I know its been packed uve been inside it allreaday,,,
ok ill report back here with my findings ,,,

[charles]

is this ice-pack ?
which packer doers this seem native to?

[Gaiyan]

That output looks weird. Either corrupted or wrong encoding. Can you change encoding? As in ANSI, UTF8 or whatever options there are.

I tried to google using the hints but no dice. Looks like it says Cracked by HellRaiser maybe?

[qazuio]

Any chance of a link to the download?

[spiny]

OK, I'll bite. Charles, what are you hoping to achieve here ? This reads like an 'X, Y Problem'

[rockyone]

did you try to unpack with New Depac ?

[spiny]

theres a patch to Cubase audio , u need to unpack original to install

it would have made more sense to put that in your opening post ...

[Mug UK]

Try the Naughty Unpacker as (from memory) that can handle PFX Packer. Or New Depack.

[charles]
