Loader Frontend

A modern Windows application loader with a sleek GUI interface and secure authentication system.

🚀 What is this?

This is a loader application that helps manage and execute Windows programs securely. It features a beautiful user interface, automatic updates, and hardware-based licensing to protect your software.

✨ Features

• Modern GUI Interface - Clean and responsive interface built with ImGui
• Secure Authentication - Login system with hardware ID protection
• Auto-Updates - Automatically checks for and downloads updates
• License Management - Support for product keys and subscription management
• Dependency Management - Automatically installs required libraries
• In-Memory Execution - Advanced execution without temporary files

📋 Requirements

• Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• Administrator privileges (required for first run)
• DirectX 9 compatible graphics
• Internet connection for authentication

🔧 Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Run the pre-loader as Administrator (only needed first time)
3. The pre-loader will:
   • Check for required dependencies
   • Download any missing libraries
   • Launch the main application
4. Create an account or login with existing credentials

🎯 How It Works

Two-Part System

1. Pre-Loader

• Small utility that runs first
• Checks if you have all required libraries (OpenSSL)
• Downloads missing components automatically
• Ensures everything is ready before launching the main app

2. Main Loader

• The actual application with the user interface
• Handles login, product management, and execution
• Communicates securely with the backend server

🛠️ Technical Details

How Does RunPE Work?

The loader uses a technique called RunPE (Process Hollowing) to execute programs directly in memory. Think of it like this:

1. Creates a Container - Makes a suspended (paused) process to act as a host
2. Prepares the Space - Allocates memory in the host process
3. Loads the Program - Writes the actual program into that memory space
4. Switches the Code - Updates the process to run the new program instead
5. Starts Execution - Resumes the process with the new code running

This approach means:

• ✅ No temporary files on disk
• ✅ Harder to detect by basic antivirus
• ✅ Protects the actual program code
• ⚠️ Requires admin privileges
• ⚠️ May trigger advanced antivirus systems

Communication & Security

The loader communicates with a backend server for:

• User Authentication - Secure login with hardware fingerprinting
• License Validation - Checks if your subscription is active
• Product Downloads - Fetches the programs you're licensed for
• Version Updates - Ensures you're running the latest version

Security Features:

• 🔐 Token-based authentication
• 🖥️ Hardware ID binding (prevents sharing)
• 📅 Expiration date checking
• 🔄 Automatic version control

Under the Hood

Technologies Used:

• ImGui - For the beautiful user interface
• DirectX 9 - For graphics rendering
• OpenSSL - For secure HTTPS communication
• C++ - Core programming language

🏗️ Building from Source

If you want to compile the loader yourself:

1. Requirements:

   • Visual Studio 2022
   • Windows SDK 10.0
   • C++ development tools

2. Steps:

   • Open Loader.sln in Visual Studio
   • Select your configuration (Debug/Release)
   • Build Solution (Ctrl+Shift+B)

⚠️ Important Notes

• Antivirus Software: Some antivirus programs may flag this loader because of the RunPE technique. This is a false positive - the technique is used for legitimate software protection.
• Admin Rights: Required only for the first run when installing dependencies
• Network Connection: Required for authentication and updates
• 64-bit Only: This loader only works on 64-bit Windows systems

🔍 Troubleshooting

Problem: Antivirus blocks the loader

• Add an exception for the loader in your antivirus settings
• This is a false positive due to the RunPE technique

Problem: "Please run as admin" error

• Right-click the pre-loader and select "Run as Administrator"
• Only needed for the first run

Problem: Connection failed

• Check your internet connection
• Ensure firewall isn't blocking the application
• Server might be under maintenance
