Long story short, at that time you mostly needed to know the different jump possibilities, I still remember 3 of them which where enough in 90% of the time. So my next step was to find few articles on X86 assembler. So when you have the software and the result disassembled, you realize something’s wrong… Yup, didn’t know assembler as well. W32DASM program entry pointįunny thing, I started this again while writing this article, it still works fine. I found references to a software I have been using for years (still have it in a corner of one of my HDD), it was named W32dasm it was a disassembler meaning it transformed the binary from an executable to assembler (low-level programming language in which there is a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture’s machine code instructions.
I started reading a lot on cracking and how it worked. I hated having to put the CD in the drive to play a videogame… yup… my cd drive was really loud and there was, for some games, no logic on when the disk was read.
My goal was maybe not as noble as it was for some others people. The full concept of source code / binary was really obscure for me, so I wanted to understand how it was working. I started to learn how computers were working through ezines, some BBS and IRC when I started to have internet access…
