Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think this is an interesting topic so let me share the info. I did a quick test and was impressed with the program's compression ratio. What is UPX? Ultimate Packer for eXecutables (aka UPX) version 2.0. is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks because of in-place decompression. Changelog Relased 27 Apr 2006 is version 2.0: * new format: added support for arm/pe (ARM executables running on WinCE) * new format: added support for linux elf/amd64 * new format: added support for linux elf/ppc32 * new format: added support for mach/ppc32 (Apple Mac OS X) * new format: added support for bootable Linux kernels ("vmlinuz/386") * new format: added support for Playstation exes ("ps1/exe") * slightly better compression using the new NRV2E algorithm * new options for compression tuning (e.g. '--brute') * improved win32/pe compatibility * direct ELF-to-memory decompression * various bug fixes Websites For details, kindly visit: http://upx.sourceforge.net/ The GUI frontend for UPX (Maxiorel GUI4UPX) at: http://www.polzer-sw.com/gui4upx Test files I used (for SP): Uncompressed.zip Compressed.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
