[DONE] Need help identifying SecuROM version

Post by Jackal »

I dumped Turok 2, but I'm unable to determine which SecuROM version is used, because the exe is apparently packed with Petite v1.3 and I'm unable to unpack it (I tried several tools).

If any of you knows how to unpack this piece of shit exe, plz do: http://vigi.dremora.com/Turok2.rar ..  or if there's a  different way of determining the SecuROM version, plz lemme know.

Except for CD-Check, Turok 2 should be unprotected, although it seems to have SecuROM -> SECUROM folder Image

It also has 1 corrupt sector.. how do you explain that? Image

The weird thing also is, the exe won't launch on xp unless I rename it from Turok2English.exe to Turok2.exe..

Is your disc EURO (multi4) ?
There are euro release, i believe it has English, French, Italian, Spanish. But yours could be English only!

I saw the corrupted sector!
Maybe your disc has the very first SecuROM "protection", which was also ineffective then Image

It's with 4 languages.. anyway, if your Turok 2 disc also has a securom folder, then shouldn't it also have a corrupt sector? (the dump entry says it doesn't)

I've noticed your TRACK01 has MODE1, but mine is MODE2, maybe that sector was also removed or not pressed in the German version, to be sure i will redump this disc once

Was you able to unpack the EXE ? If not try this -> Universal Extractor 1.6 setup.exe portable

The data track is mode1.. and your tool doesn't work.. I suppose the compression is part of the protection.. so unless someone can unpack it manually, we'll just have to assume that it doesn't have an active protection.

i got it somewhat unpacked with ollydbg

most likely it will not run properly, but text strings are readable at least.
there doesn't seem to be any references to securom though, but cdcheck is indeed present:
"Unable to find Turok2 CD, Verify CD is in drive and no other application is using CDROM Drive."
"Turok2 requires a CDROM Drive to run!"

Thanks. Protection ID also can't find anything in that .exe, so let's just conclude that there's no active SecuROM protection.

I've added a comment for that.

Do you wanna add the other 3 languages to your dump?
