Password Protected Exe File

I need a tool that can create password for any exe files (modify the file) and in the same time allow me to run this exe using a parameter with the correct the password so the exe run directly.

For example: if the password is "123" and then I created a shortcut with parameter like "protected_file.exe /123" the exe run without password prompt

1 Answer

One way would be to create a self contained archive of the EXE which is password protected. Most archive formats support some sort of password protection and self contained archives. This method isn't very secure though because it can eventually be cracked using brute force if someone is determined.
