Anyone know much about this?
I was just a bit bored and was thinking about how you could patch an executable (that you had written), replacing the contents of a static array with new values, and (where it probably gets messy) even chaning the size of the array (which would obviously require changing whatever limits the size of the array if you iterate through it).
I beleive that you can slap stuff at the end of an executable, which would allow you to check for and read any patches, But I would rather simply change the array.
Anyone know about this? Would I have to start patching addresses of things if the size of the array changes. Are there checksums on the data sections of an exe?
