Description: Runtime encrypter for 32-bit portable executables
This package contains a runtime encrypter for 32-bit portable executables. It
is a reference implementation and bases on the paper "Hyperion: Implementation
of a PE-Crypter". The paper describes the implementation details which
aren't in the scope of this readme file.
The crypter is started via the command line and encrypts an input executable
with AES-128. The encrypted file decrypts itself on startup (bruteforcing the
AES key which may take a few seconds) and generates a log file for debug
purpose.
