Because RDG uses polymorphism, static detection can fail. Dynamic detection involves running the file in a controlled environment (sandbox). binwalk -E file
While the RDG Packer Detector is a classic, the landscape of software protection has evolved. Newer tools like or PEiD (though also older) are often used in tandem with RDG. rdg packer detector
