Third party packer

[burningsoul2000]

I tried to scan an exe and Save It As..., but for some reason, it said 'Can't create new image file, the original file has been probably packed.' I know that PE explorer can only deal with UXP type but is there any way to find/analyze other packer and unpack it?

I tried to find any tutorial related to this issue from Tut4you site, but I simply couldn't find it and wasn't sure about it  '>

PE Explorer automatically unpacks UPX-, Upack-, and Nspack-compressed files. Eventually we will add more unpacker plug-ins, until then those three are all there are.

You might want to start off with figuring out what packer was used. Use the utility called PEid.

ok, I'll go figure it out with Peid once i'm at home, thank you for your reply.
