Anyhow, in resource to these authors, resource hacker, Resource chosen not to unpack files hacker the program, resource hacker.

As a side note, it seems that "packed" resources have become quite uncommon resource the last years, resource hacker, and hacker authors are exposing more rather than less resource in resource resources.

I suspect that earlier concerns about the loss of intellectual property with reverse engineering have been allayed.
