Modifying Executable Files, How to Modify Executable Files

Want to try something new such as modifying Executable files. As you already know .exe files content main files of program & software, thus modifying exe files can completely change programming of the program.  

Don't Try Dissassemblers:

• Dissassemblers is used only by programming experts.
• Secondly it's all HEX coded so you can't understand anything.

Download & Install Resource Hacker:

• You can try 'Resource Hacker' which is a freeware available openly on the web.
• Resource hacker is a Easy to use resource editor.
• Interface is very easy to use.
• Files you can edit are:
   *.exe, *.dll, *.ocx, *.scr and *.cpl files

How to Use?

• Firstly, open the targeted .exe file you want to modify. Use shortcut:
  CTRL+O
• In the left side of the screen a list of sections will appear.
  Most common sections are:
• String table
• RCData
• Dialog
• Cursor group
• Bitmap
• WAV
• Icon: You can view and change the icon(s) of the program by double-clicking the icon section,choosing the icon, right-clicking on it an pressing "replace resource". After that you can choose the icon you want to replace the original with.
• String table: 
  A bunch of crap but useful sometimes.For modifying this you'll need basic programming knowledge. But i recommend not to edit this part.
• RCData:
  Here the real hacking begins. It is here that you can modify window titles, buttons, text & so on.
• Dialog:Here you can modify the messages or dialogs that appear in a program. Don't forget to press "Compile" when you're done!
• Cursor group:
  Change the mouse cursors used in the program just like you would change the icon.
• Bitmap: View or change images in the programs easy!
• WAV:Change the sounds in the prog. with your own.

But please make a backup of your original file in the case it doesn't works.
