Understanding and Editing an .EXE

BobbyGoks · 06-10-2009, 12:59 AM

hi dudes.
i'm interested in understanding the HEX code in an .exe file.
i used Hex Workshop software.

i took a sample .exe, generated from Borland C. with just a printf statement.

i know little assembly and know there are header, relocation table and code section in any .exe.
but i dunno how to read it separately.

can u gimme the chart about the address where these sections will be present?
it'll be greatly appreciated if u give further details about understand the content in an .exe.

i googled for 2 days and can't find proper details. pls help

That contains quite a bit of info on the sizes involved in the header, and the spacing, but there's quite a lot more info that can be found(It's just hard to find)...

Cheers,
Jamey
