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.
