Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Re: Code Extraction

Please explain what "codes" you expect to extract exactly...?

...I'm pretty certain that a function call into a linked file is just loading the right stuff into the registers, and then a jump to [some specific offset] into the dll file. There's no "code" to get, aside from the function offset (the name of the dll and the address in the dll of where that function begins).... I could be wrong though.

,,,,,,

Alternately you could try using a hex editor, or a disassembler--but neither of those will contain descriptive variable names, or code comments.

DLL files, in the easiest sense, are ONLY different from EXE files in that they contain no system loadable/callable entry point. They consist of precompiled functions and/or class objects. The only "source code" they contain is machine code.

Just use W32Dasm (or any other disassembler) and learn asm
