Hello List,
I would like to change the string of a file name in a (propriety) binary:
if applicable, how can we do that ?
Use a hex editor?
Let me specify. My binary file is an executable binary file,
not a data file. Of course, I want to be able to run the modified version.
So according to you, I have just to edit my binary, modify the string by hand,
and the modified binary is fine: is there any side effect ?
Since it's a binary file, you can't know for sure, but IIUC, there
likely won't be any side effects. I'm no expert on this stuff, though,
so please take my advice with a grain of salt.
There will be no side effects *if* you only *change* the existing
text bytes.
Unless... the binary does some sort of internal checksumming to
detect (possibly malicious) changes or license modifications.
Lastly: we don't need to tell an experienced guy like you to make a
copy of the binary before you change it, right? ;)
