I have never accused you of being an expert either have I? But whether or
not you know it, to some here you most times come across like you *are*
trying to sound like an expert.
for anything. I found some strings from using UEdit and ResHacker, for
"quick glancing".. and still read it on many AV sites too.. thing is,
you're trying to appear smart................
Well if you must know I simply looked using frhed a freeware hex editor. I
like it over debug; because it handles much larger files and has more bells
and whistles to make several things much easer then using debug. Almost
anyone can put a simple virus into a hex editor and even if they don't know
what they are seeing inside can still look for non-printable strings ;o) I
however on the other hand do know a little of what I am looking at; after
all assembly is assembly whether it be on the old commodore or cpm or
present day IBM compatible because this will save all the registers whether
in an old cpm program or one for today's machines:
push ax ;save all registers
push bx
push cx
push dx
push si
push di
btw, I don't try or have to appear anything to anyone; because I could care
less what others think of me; because I know what I know what I know also I
am what I am what I am and it maters little to me what others think. I wear
what I want when I want regardless of fashion, and I think what I like
regardless of what others think and I do as I please and the only guide I
care about is the bible; because nothing any man I know or know of (outside
the bible) influences anything I think. If someone makes sense and what
they say is not in opposition to what my bible teaches then I will consider
it; but if my experience tells me they are full of it then I tell them so;
because I say nothing behind someone's back I would not say to their face.
The only vice I have is that I put a few dollars on the lottery once in a
while; I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't do quite a
number of things society says is ok; but my bible tells me differently. a
push, or push or mov or sub or jmp or what ever are all the same then as
now.
I've thought this and used this "argument" too. What I learnt from the
little bit of "dabbling" I did.. has helped me a load when I get friends
ask me to help them try and rid themseleves of this and that. A lot of
the time, I can be of assistance, but not always.. as none of us know it
all =)
Those that think they know it all are especially irritating to those of
us the do, lol, J/K. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have given free
repair information out to friends and family or just to those in chat room
help groups back when I still did IRC or even on the web chat rooms. About
the only time I am online and don't get asked advice is when I am playing
chess; because all those that play chess with me know I don't chat while
playing a timed game and now days you can only play a 5 min game or else
they try and run a chess program in one window and use it's moves.
To a few here and on that other NG that shall remain nameless which I
no longer lurk or post to I may seem the fool; but to all those countless
users I have helped it is otherwise. I enjoy playing the SE game with some
here as I did there and I think I truly have them believing me to be some
dumb old hillbilly living in a trailer and though they are half right (old
and hillbilly well old if you count 50 as being old) they are not 100%
right, lol
P but I *found* it using
