MZsignature in memory – the original PE image might be fully mapped. - Compare with sections from disk – if a section's raw data matches memory after decryption, it's ready to dump.
The Enigma Protector is a commercial software protection tool used to shield executables from cracking and unauthorized analysis. Version 5.x introduced more robust obfuscation techniques, including: Virtual Machine Architecture Enigma 5.x Unpacker
