Scrnch 0.2

Overview

Vendor Description

 From the doc: 'a data compressor designed for people, such as software developers, who need to send programs or files to a large number of people cheaply. It provides a high degree of compression and the ability to customize the self-extracting compressed file. SCRNCH takes its time to produce optimal compression, but decompression is automatic and very fast'

Category

 Packer: A utility which compresses a file, encrypting it in the process. It adds a header that automatically expands the file in memory, when it is executed, and then transfers control to that file. Some packers can unpack without starting the packed file. Packers are ""useful"" for trojan authors as they make their work undetectable by anti-virus products.
