I have tested the vmprotect of version 1.2 .The protector works very well under both GUI Encryption Mode and Console Encryption Mode.However,I found the size of encrypted PE file under one encryption mode is different from the other.The size of the original PE file is 11,084 KB,the encrypted file under GUI mode is 12,924 KB and the size under console mode is 11,900 KB. Both encryption mode used the same project configuration with protect options turned on: Hide constants ,Dynamic creation of online commands,Encoding of registers at jumps . My command line under console mode is : vmprotect122_console.exe test.dll
I am wondering how the diffenrence between the size of the two encrypted files come from? The size of the encrypted file under GUI mode is much bigger than the other, is that indicates a diffrence of encryption security?

The process of compilation have random function and in result you always will have diferent size of protected file (regardless of console or GUI version).
