Momoko-Ayase dc6e72a8bb Split the Exe kind into NativeExe / ManagedExe
The detector already used the CLR data-directory RVA to split DLLs into
NativeDll / ManagedDll; EXEs were a single undifferentiated Exe kind.
Apply the same CLR check to EXEs so callers can tell a protected .NET
executable from a native one without unpacking. Routing is unchanged:
both EXE kinds go to the EXE pipeline.

- CLI per-file lines and the run log now print NativeExe / ManagedExe
  (the kind comes from the same Debug formatting as the DLL variants).
- The web API's detect()/unpack_file() kind strings become
  'native-exe' / 'managed-exe'; the web UI gains matching labels, and
  the trap-retry guard (DLL-probe recovery) keys off both EXE kinds.

Golden corpus unchanged (35/35 byte-identical); kind is classification
only and never affects output bytes.

# Senbei
A static unpacker for Crackproof-protected 64-bit and 32-bit PE files. Point it
at a file or a folder and it writes decrypted copies — no launch of the
protected program, no kernel driver, no code runs out of the protected binary.
> _"Crackproof"? It's senbei (煎餅 — rice cracker). Cracks itself._
Senbei reads a protected `.exe` or `.dll`, replays the unpacking algorithm
entirely in memory, and writes the recovered image to a new file. The core is a
pure, panic-free library with no file I/O; the CLI wraps it with scanning, a
progress bar, and a run log. A browser version (WebAssembly, fully client-side)
lives in [`web/`](web/).
## Legal notice and intended use
**Read this before using Senbei.**
- Senbei is a research and interoperability tool. It exists to enable lawful
reverse engineering, security research, preservation, and interoperability
with software you already legitimately possess.
- **Only process binaries you own or are explicitly authorized to analyze.**
Depending on your jurisdiction and license agreements, circumventing
technological protection measures may be restricted (for example under
DMCA §1201 in the United States, which contains exemptions for security
research and interoperability). It is your responsibility to ensure your use
is lawful.
- Senbei does not bypass any access control for you: it performs a purely
static transformation of a file already on your disk. It derives everything
it needs from the input file itself, contains no vendor code or secrets, and
distributes no keys, cracks, or copyrighted content.
- Senbei does not enable online play, license fraud, or cheating, and must not
be used to redistribute decrypted binaries. Do not upload outputs anywhere.
- The authors provide this software "as is", without warranty of any kind, and
accept no liability for misuse. See [LICENSE](LICENSE) (AGPL-3.0).
- "Crackproof" is a trademark of its respective owner; this project is not
affiliated with or endorsed by the protection vendor or any software
publisher. Names are used for identification only.
## What it handles
| Kind | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `NativeExe` | Crackproof-protected native executable (PE32+ and PE32). |
| `ManagedExe` | Protected .NET executable (has a CLR data directory). |
| `NativeDll` | Protected native (unmanaged) DLL. |
| `ManagedDll` | Protected .NET assembly (has a CLR data directory). |
| `._` companion | Stub + external encrypted payload layout, spliced automatically. |
| `global-metadata.dat` | il2cpp metadata with obfuscated method tokens, de-obfuscated in place. |
Detection is content-based (header key-table at offset 4096, magic `KONN`),
not extension-based. Anything unrecognized is left untouched.
## Quick start
```cmd
cargo build --release
senbei protected.exe
:: -> unpack\protected.unpack.exe
senbei "C:\Games\MyGame"
:: -> C:\Games\MyGame\unpack\... (recursive, skips non-targets)
```
Every output is sanity-checked statically; structurally broken results are
flagged as suspect rather than silently trusted.
