I am attempting to open an .exe file with Ollydbg.
When I open the .exe, I get the message
"Module '...exe' has entry point outside the code (as specified in the PE header).
Maybe this file is self-extracting or self-modifying.
Please keep it in mind when setting breakpoints!"
I hit OK, chose my .exe from the Executable Modules, and all that shows up in the code are blank data bytes, i.e.
DB 00
DB 00
etc., in each line where there should be code.
What is going on and how do I get Ollydgb to show me the actual code?
I have been doing searches on this subject in these forums,
and know there are PE header tools,
but having used Ollydbg for several years, have not encountered this problem where no code shows up,
would like to know if anyone can give me a way to approach this in detail
(step by step, for dummies).
