Question 1

What is code virtualization?

Accepted Answer

Code virtualization converts your native x86-64 machine code into a custom bytecode that runs on an embedded virtual machine. The original instructions are completely removed and replaced with encrypted VM bytecode. This makes static analysis with disassemblers like IDA Pro or Ghidra extremely difficult, as reverse engineers face an entirely unknown instruction set.

Question 2

Which platforms and architectures are supported?

Accepted Answer

ChaosProtector supports Windows 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86-64) PE executables (.exe), dynamic-link libraries (.dll), and kernel drivers (.sys) from a single toolchain. No separate build is required for legacy x86 applications. This covers the vast majority of Windows desktop applications, tools, plugins, and drivers.

Question 3

Will protection affect my application's performance?

Accepted Answer

Virtualized code does run slower than native code, this is inherent to any VM-based protection. That is why ChaosProtector lets you selectively protect only the critical functions (license checks, proprietary algorithms, sensitive logic) while leaving performance-critical code unprotected. The GUI makes it easy to fine-tune this balance.

Question 4

Can I try ChaosProtector before purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan is completely free and lets you test the core protection features including obfuscation and the hybrid GUI + console application. Just sign in with Google to download it. Upgrade to Basic or Pro for advanced features like full code virtualization, multi-layer encryption, and email support.

Question 5

Can I still debug crashes after protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ChaosProtector generates reconstructed PDB debug symbols for your protected binary. This means you can still analyze crash dumps, read stack traces, and debug issues in production, even for functions that have been virtualized. Your users get protection, your developers get debuggability.

Question 6

What is the license model? Is it a subscription or one-time purchase?

Accepted Answer

ChaosProtector uses a one-time purchase model. Pay once and use the version you purchased forever, no recurring fees or subscriptions. Basic is $99 and Pro is $199. Future major version upgrades may require a separate purchase.

Question 7

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Since ChaosProtector offers a free plan with core features, we encourage you to test it before purchasing. If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from using the product, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we will work to resolve it or issue a refund.

Question 8

Can I protect DLLs, or only EXE files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ChaosProtector supports both Windows PE executables (.exe) and dynamic-link libraries (.dll), on both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86-64) architectures. You can apply the same protection features, virtualization, obfuscation, string encryption, and more, to your DLLs just as you would with executables.

Question 9

Can I integrate ChaosProtector into my CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ChaosProtector includes a full command-line interface (CLI) that can be called from build scripts, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or any other CI/CD system. See the Documentation page for CLI usage and examples.
