Enigma Protector

Hello,

What are the consequences of unchecking 'Emulate WinAPI functions' in conjunction with using Enigma API? The help file says "Please note that if you use Enigma API inside your application, this function should be enabled.", but is a bit unspecific about the reasons.

I'm asking because I'm working on a DLL injector that only works correctly without 'Emulate WinAPI' and I'm wondering whether using Enigma API functions this way inside the DLL would diminish the protection level seriously or not.

Hi codix,

Yes, in your case you should not use Winapi Emulation, otherwise your injection won't work. But really, it is a problem of the method of injection you are using, but not a problem of the protection. Anyway, in your case it would be better just do not use this option.

Why and where Winapi Emulation should be used together with Enigma API - only in case if you are getting a pointer to Enigma API functions through the GetProcAddress function. Such things happening for VB6 and .NET programs.
If you are developing application on C, C++, Delphi, and you use Enigma API thought it's description from enigma_ide.pas or enigma_ide.c, then you should not worry, Enigma API will be working well even without Winapi Emulation.

Thanks for the fast answer. That's all I wanted to know, I should be fine then.

You're welcome. Let me know if you will have questions.
