hi all

i bought a cd in america called realflight r/c simulator to teach me how to fly r/c helicopters before i wreck my own one. Cost me $500 new zealand cause our dollar is sooo low, so i must back it up aye. it is protected with safedisk. while cracking the the cd protection forgice said there where 7 changes to my iat. when i went to run the game again it said it couldn't find the *.icd file, bullshit. i tried to restore the iat.bak with fploader R but when it tried it return an error so no luck.

What is the IAT, how can i view it, and can you back it up manually or something when it gets damaged however. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and it works again so back to carcking the safedisk protection. Any replies or links on this muchly appreciated

iat stands for import allocation table, it's rva is on the pe-header, it's pointing to function/module import names, its resolved by windows to
give your exe some api addresses to be used by your program.

Iat's are very often used as a protection scheme, you just dump your program but iat is still pointing to protection's addresses but not loaded by your dumped program, so it crashes.
I'm actually working on a tool to resolve this problems, it's actually fixings the iat for a lot of protectionh schemes and it's actually being fixed for safedisc based protections, read the tutes on this sites and
write me when you're ready for a beta test.

"forgice said there where 7 changes to my iat"

tsehp - i think he means, frogsice detected 7 changes to his IDT ;-)

gimmee - erm anyway, never mind the idt changes, and goto cdchecks.cjb.net and get some reading material on Safedisc ..

IAT = Import Address Table

The Import Address Table is an array of addresses of the imported
routines for each DLL.

Glad to see at least one person knows what
