Compiled code

[mario201]

When i make an *.exe from my code i get the visual basic exe, if i open it with notepad or some hex editor i can see some of my code and stuff like pathe where the program has been compiled too.

I want to get rid of it, if I just delte it the program dosent work anymore, can i crypto the code somehow or something? So every1 would not see the code...



Sry for pure english

Can't any1 help me?

I just dont want to show my code and i and dont want ppl to find out that i made da code...

I dont think you can hide string information like that.

Are you doing something malicious that you dont want traced back to you?

[mario201]

not really just wanna joke with some friends, gonna have a little fun with them but they allvis use hex edit or somthing to chek the code befor they open it and if they see i made it they dont wanna open it and they see string info too that sux....

There are some tools the encrypt an exe. These can be found on "hackers"-sites. There are also tools to decrypt an exe. Search for one (encrypt exe in google) and see qhat it does.

thx I'll take a look

I know, its annoying. Its shows up:

D:\Microsoft Visual Studio\Projects\

for me in Wordpad, wonder if you could use Resource Hacker to change the string table data?

When you tried modyfing it in Hex, did you just delete the string? As if you

a) add bytes through hex
b) delete values which shouldnt

it will corrupt, send me the exe if you like, ill fix it for you if i can

[mario201]

Yea i tried to delete it I'll try to change the symbols but if i cant handel it i'll tell u where u can find da code.

Just overwrite them with a spacebar Making sure not to overwrite unfamiliar characters from the Hex table

Only ones containing the strings, if its like:

D:\ M I C R O S O F T V I S U A L S T U D I O

then ignore the spaces, just go over the actual text

[alexdata]

If you use reshacker, then you can change those strings to whatever you like (as long as you find the strings)

if you use "hex workshop" then you must overwrite the text with a random letter or so... like x0x0x0x00x0x0x00x0x0x0x0x or whatever you like...

But these two programs are the best.. and then pack it with UPX
(to reduce size, and to crypt the code some more)

if you hex edit the upx-crypted exe and replace the text UPX (apperars 3 times early in the file) with any other three letters, then you cannot decrypt it using UPX later...

so then your buddies would have to run it,inorder to see it...

But make no viruses please... and make it possible to REMOVE your joke from the machine...

I think that if you compile to P-Code that you wan't be able to see the strings.

Thx all.
Its no virus
