See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to remove the Authenticode signature from an EXE or DLL.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // You can verify a signed DLL or EXE.
    String path = "c:/someDir/something.dll";

    CkCodeSign codeSign = new CkCodeSign();

    // If successful, the signature is removed from the EXE or DLL file.
    success = codeSign.RemoveSignature(path);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(codeSign.lastErrorText());
        }

    System.out.println("success: " + success);
  }
}
