i have this curiosity and a need lately to learn to tamper into non PE and NE files
bul let me better show you for one specific example
look in the file atached to this post (stellar.jpg)
im sure you can notice the grey nag screen in the middle of the capture
it just pops up whan you want to save and closes the saving operation when you press ok on it
so my guess is that just removing that one will leave the copying process live
but how ?.. windasm doesn't show not a single text string from the dissasembled executable anywhere
in softice i cant trap the spawning nag window because i dont know what bpx to set for it
it should be a 16 bit call like MessageBox ? i tried a lot of similars in softice but none worked
i am a little familliar with the win32 API calls but where to ge the ones for msdos .. are there any ..cos if there are i cant find them
the file is compiled by Borland C++ and im running out of debugger disasemblers to run it thru ....
i guess its time to learn IDA ... buy it too ...does it suport non PE files ?
anyone have experience with this type of executable reversing ?
could you spare some advices/instructions ?
