x64-EXE-Packer

A software packer for 64 bit Windows executables.

• The encryption routine is a 64-bit block cipher which uses a 128-bit key, which does 7 rounds of encryption using bitwise rotates and xors. It's not great, but hopefully unique enough to throw analyst off.
• The stub looks for ".xss" section within itself, and extracts PE data from it.
• The packer copies the stub, appends a .xss section to the end of it, and then appends the targeted file for packing at the end of the new stub, after encrypting it.

Update: The implementation is not 100% correct. Project pending revamp.
