Application to be used as dropper

Executable file to which the agent is added.

The file type differs based on the operating system:

  • OS X: compressed MacOs file .app. The application (a folder) must be compressed using the zip command from the Terminal.app console.
  • IMPORTANT: do not use the Compress menu item from the Finder application.

  • Windows: any EXE file.

Include audio codec (200 KiB) (Windows only) The executable includes the audio codec (size will increase by 200 KiB).
Use the certificate to sign the dropper

Sign the executable using the digital certificate. The digital signature can significantly increase the level of invisibility to anti-viruses.
