ASProtected cracked, as always but there is no general unpacker for it.
Just tools that helps you to dump some parts, - NOT a asprotect-unpack.exe
On the other hand there is a file called ionworxkill.exe that resets the
trial on
every Ionworx protected file. Do you know that?
Now about the Themida, you are wrong. It depends on what you select on
options. If you ever had the xprotector (previous version of Themida) in
your hands you will see that it decompiles the EXE to ASM. And then it
compiles the ASM back to EXE. The generated ASM code is source code
and then you can make all the tricks you do in your pascal code. Exactly the
same and much more. About the instructions to deprotect themida
applications,
if you read it careful it says how to dump the themida protected
applications.
No how to completely unprotect it. Author send emails to Delphi Developers
with
tricks how to completely protect their apps againt those instructions. Of
course
the new version of Themida has "closed" this security hole and added some
new tricks to use in source code, adding LIB/OBJ files that compiles
directly
to exe and adds a good level of security.
At last, about ExeCryptor you can see what crackers say about it, how
difficult is to attack it:
forum.exetools.com/showthread.php
Now, if you read this forum then you can see your warez version of
IceLicense
that easily cracked to reset the trial:

PS: I dont want to start a thread with you, so plz lets stop it here.

Well I think you are wrong in your comparaison, it is more easy to create a
generic unpacker for PE Cryptor (like AsProtect and Themida) or others
than Native Delphi Protection. When you used VCL Licensing Protection, you
have
more security, first because no generic unpacker are available so need to
spent time, second you customize protection.
Maybe you need to read the latest news ;-)

About Themida Protector, don't protect the source code at all, only
patching the executable file.
About Themida Security, I should you to read this article :

Wrong again, even if the SecureCode source code is available, it is very
hard to retrieve original source code without a good key, example RSA
encryption system (RC4, RC5, RC6, PKI) sources are available that mean the
security are compromise ? No I don't think. ;-)
