10:33 A short interview with Rafael

What was the reason for termination of the development of X-Protector and the release of Themida? Several reasons. X-Protector had a notorious reputation because of problems with compatibility. We wanted to release a new product, devoid of these shortcomings. In addition, the team has changed somewhat. What are your plans for Themida64 (protection support 64-bit applications)? Themida for x64 will be released in the coming months, and as soon as it is already receive our beta testers. What are the advantages of custom-builds Themida? Unfortunately, we currently do not offer such services, although we have some opportunities for buyers with specific requirements for compatibility I saw that in the help file mentions Wine and ReactOS. Really, applications, protected by Themida, work in these environments? Yes, applications protected by our protector to operate successfully in these environments. Such are the demands of a large number of our customers. Does Themida protection on the basis of ring-0? Some time ago the first version of Themida does offer such protection. But after a while, we've eliminated the use of ring-0 for increased compatibility with new versions of Windows, implementing instead the protection on the basis of virtualization code. Themida - a very powerful protector. But what do you think about the approach that was implemented in ExeCryptor (code there is not converted into codes for the virtual machine, but simply mutated and more complex, being native to the processor). I think ExeCryptor still had its own virtual machine. Opcodes that could emulate - emulate. Those who can not - have mutated in the x86 version. Anyway, this is what I heard, though I do not know. What are your plans for the future of Themida? Generally we think of a serious redesign to further strengthen the defense. But above all, to be released support for x64, and all subsequent versions of the tread will support both x32, and x64 applications.
