Description:
|
|
ICE is a program which scramples and compresses
|
|
COM files (not EXE files) yet allows them to be
|
|
fully functional. The program makes it difficult to
|
|
alter the orginal program and it has the added
|
|
bonus of compressing COM files without detracting
|
|
from their usefulness. ICEd COM files still run
|
|
as they did before except that they are usually
|
|
smaller and disk load times are shorter.
|
|
ICE offers protection agains viruses in that
|
|
ICE can scramble COMMAND.COM and make it difficult
|
|
for viruses to attach themselves to the scramble
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
The format of the ICE command is:
|
|
|
|
ICE file.COM encryption-key
|
|
|
|
file is the name of a COM file to ICE and
|
|
encryption key is a string of numbers and/or
|
|
letters that will help make your scramble
|
|
unique.
|
|
|
|
ICE will compress and scramble the com file and
|
|
replace the original. It is important to have a
|
|
backup of the original COM file in case ICE screws
|
|
up somehow. I have tested ICE, but it is possible to
|
|
screw anything up.
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer:
|
|
I have written an ICE BREAKER for ICEd programs and
|
|
I am sure that any good hacker could also figure it out
|
|
after a while. No software resource can be protected
|
|
entirely by software. I can only guarantee that
|
|
ICE makes COM file safer, not 100% safe.
