well i have been using odbg 1.06 for quite some time now i find this debugger great in fact i uninstalled sice after fiddling with its installation problem in w2k (dont know was breaking hither and thither and the black little box with luminous text was looking scary enough olly has got a nice interface i havent yet entered the holy ring 0 as some call it so olly is fine for me)
till now i have just been tracing with it but an app i traced required lot of code addition (adding funct) well i found using the assemble feature in olly great but i face a small problem here
1) you assemble say push 0
2) you select copy to exe file-----> save file
3) does it fine for first time
4) you again assemble push dword ptr ds:[blah]
5) if you repeat the above process olly says it cant do it
6) it cant do it because it has created a backup file of the same name viz(test.exe)---->(test.bak) and it cannot create another backup file in the same name
7) so what i do is 1)assemble 2)copy to exe file 3)save file 4)close olly 5)delete the backup file 6)restart olly 7)assemble and repeat the process
IT DOES NOT LET ME DELETE THE BACKUP WITHOUT CLOSING OLLY PROBABLY COZ ITS OPEN IN MEMORY SOME WHERE
8) it can also be done like this 1)assemble 2)copy-->save on different name viz(test1.exe) 3)close olly 4)delete test.exe 5)rename test1.exe --> to test.exe
6)restart olly and repeat the process
9) what i want to know is whether this covoluted process can be avoided i hate closing and restarting it disturbs the flow of thinking
10) well you may say use the new origin here and repeat the test till you are satisfied and then copy it finally but you know better
i came across this forum today only and have read almost all the posts seen the stuph page seen the bug page seen the announcement page seen the tuts by luucorp
a GREAT FORUM FOR A GREAT APPLICTION <u>I LOVE OLLY</u>
any hints would be welcome
