Packexe: compress executable
Packexe takes an executable as input, compresses it and produces a packed executable which behaves exactly like the source one.
Why need packexe when there's gzexe prog?
There are few differences which may be important in some cases:
- The resulting executable is binary.
- Unpacker process is substituted by the original one and has the same PID.
- There will be only one executing process (with gzexe there are two).
This is the best that can be done without hacking into OS executable loading.
