Hex edit exe

[butji]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to hex edit an exe file.

I looked at the help file for a while but i couldnt find anything.

FileOpen(), FileRead(), FileWrite(), and FileClose(), using binary mode would do it. See help file.

It's on you to know exactly what offset to edit, and if that's a good idea in the first place.

The same way a hammer knows where the nail should be driven. The same way a car knows where it should turn. The same way an S&W 686 knows who needs to be removed from the gene pool... etc.

There are a fair amount of real time debuggers that you can use to find out what needs to be changed, but those can also be used to patch, so you wouldn't really need to do it programatically... additionally if it's an executable created in autoit3, you're not going to get anywhere
