How to extract photos from an exe
I wasn’t going to write about this, but I liked the solution (application) so much I had to shout about it.
I was provided with a 30 day cd preview slideshow of wedding photos, and was asked very kindly to attempt to extract the photos from it so they could be viewed beyond the trial period.
I agreed to the challenge, and that was that…
At first I decided to take a look at the application, and soon discovered (using PEID) that it was ASpacked, and so I used aspackdie to unpack it.
However, this is where I got stuck. I tried loads of different (windows) resource software and none of them were able to extract the photos.
I went onto programmerstools.org to try and see if there were any more tools, and just before I was about to give up I noticed an application entitled “MultiExtractor” sitting in their “Highest rated” list on the front page. I now see why.
MultiExtractor is a brilliant application.
I successfully managed to extract 878 photos from the packed exe on the CD.
The exe was packed using ASpack, nothing else seemed able to extract the files, even when I used aspackdie first.
It’s simple and easy to use. It’s not some cheap ‘hacker’ tool, or a complex hardcore programmer tool, it just works!
The maximum price for this application is $100 (~£55), if I have the pleasure of using this application again, I am very likely to pay for the privilege.
Great work Maciej Drobinski, keep it up!
