This is a rather ironic piece of software. An application, released as shareware, with the ability to "crack" the protected works of others.

Understandably, there are occasions where this software will have legitimate uses, such as recovering ones' own work from a mistakenly protected file. However, when such a program arises with the ability to facilitate Flash piracy, it has to raise quite a few flags to the Flash developers out there.

Fortunately, this software is not entirely unbeatable. If there are any Flash developers who wish to protect their works from this kind of thing, you may want to look into a process called "code obfuscation". This will render your code almost completely unreadable to softtware like this, yet does not affect the performance of your Flash applications. (The windows section of VersionTracker should have some apps listed that will do this automatically.)
