Hi everyone!

I'm new so please don't hate me for this, but i have a silly problem.

My problem is that when i decompile the .exe program i am using (with W32dsm) , i get this:
Disassembly of File: Program.exe
Code Offset = 00000000, Code Size = 00000000
Data Offset = 0030A600, Data Size = 00014800

Number of Objects = 0012 (dec), Imagebase = 00400000h

Then i get arround 2 pages of blank lines, then:
:FFFFFFFF * *End Of Listing

However, if I use HIEW, i can see all of the assembly code, but not the text that i am looking for when using W32dsm.

Can anyone shed some light on what i am doing wrong?

Oh, and while I am asking, does anyone know how to get Softice working on an XP Pro PC or should I get my old bucket PC out my loft with Win 95 on it?

Hi LemanRuss,

I don't see much section names which probably indicates that the program has been protected/encrypted.
Try using PEiD on it and it probably tells you what protector or packer has been used, then continue with that info ;)

Thanks for the PEiD tip. :)

Ok, so now i know it is ASProtect 1.23 RC4 - 1.3.08.24 (Thats what PEiD says)
I read up on how to unpack it using OLLYDBG, and I can understand the Shift-F9 - 1 routine, but after that i get lost.
Can someone (at least try) to ram the knowlage into my thick skull?

If you're lazy, you could just go to hxxp://protools.reverse-engineering.net/, go to the unpackers section, and pick up a copy of stripper or caspr.

Thanks again for the tip.
However, when I use stripper to unpack it, the program will no longer run or be unscrambled in W32dsm.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
