Runtime (inmem) patchers

Process Patcher 3.30 (69K) by thewd. Updated: 29.XI.1999. News: - supports a plugin architecture (beta) - updated parsing engine to support SupportedPlatforms and ImpersonateUser parameters - updated and faster parsing and patching engine with better error handling - introduced /default argument for use with the /encrypt option. Creates an encrypted configuration file with the default key. This allows the patch to be run without user intervention - no longer need psapi.dll module when executing on Windows NT4 - many other updates and enhancements - better Windows 2000 (RC3 Beta) support This is a great new command-line tool that allows a Win32 application to be patched during its runtime. This procedure might be required because the executable may be compressed or encrypted and known unpackers fail to decompress or decrypt the executable to a readable form. Also, as this tools doesn't change the stored executable, all CRC checks performed on this executable will succeed. Included Configuration File Encryption Utility.

R!SC's Process Patcher v1.4 (15K) by R!SC. Update: 14.XI.1999. News: - stuff undone to loader pe header. Erm, well, its a process patcher thingy, creates a win32.exe from a simple script, which will then load a process, and wait for it to unpack/deprotect itself, then patch the memory to fix any bugs that the author left in the program, y'no, like NAG screens, or silly 30 day trials, and its the only one of its kind!!! (which produces a stand-alone win32 exe).

ByteHunter v2.0 (39K) by The+Q & MrNop. Updated: 13.I.1999. There is more and more program with frequent updates, that mean that when u cracked 1.1, the 1.2 will be out in few days.. Isn't that some lose of time? So the idea is, instead bytepatch particular offset, to look for a string and replace it with another.. There is not so much sources of progs like this, and most of them are slow.. really slow (TurboPascal suxx sometimes ;) So, we (MrNop & The+q) decided to code one, The+q do the main work, and i added some improvements, and THE_q finally improved all :) It's one of the fastest Search & Replace procedure i ever see, and i think u will be happy to use it.. so take care of it :) Since v2.0 the engine is coded in pure WinAsm32 for really fast work, and nicer interface.

aPATCH v0.12b (56K) by Jibz. Updated: 03.VII.1999. News: - Now aPATCH displays the title message, and then waits for a keypress. If ESC is pressed then the patch is aborted, otherwise pathing begins. - Cleaned up the code, and added a little error checking for the new search code. - Rewrote the new search code, so it takes up a less space in the file to use 'blank' bytes. - Fixed a couple of bugs with the new ^SEARCH^ command, now it seems to work ok .. hopefully ;) - A first shot at adding 'blank' bytes to the ^SEARCH^ command. In multifile patches '??' can be used as a byte whose value you don't care about in the search. A simple patch engine. Can create a byte-patch by comparing two files, or a multi-file patch with search/replace from a simple script. Output is a COM-file.

pkpm 0.94 (8K) by josh (aka GreenJosh). Updated: 19.I.1999. News: - rewrote the diff procedure : it is now twice as fast as before. The increase in speed should be noticeable especially on big files. - added a check on the max number of bytes (of difference) : 2000 (a com file is <= 64 Kbytes...) That limit may change later. - oops... pkpm.exe didn't want to start under NT4... 't was upx packing fault (Why did I wanted to pack it since 't was less that 14 Kbytes... Dunno.. :) Sometimes, I have to do small patches to improve my applications since I lost the source code and didn't want that damn call be called ;) By small, I mean less than 50 bytes. I wanted to have a quick patch maker and besides I wanted it to make small patches. Thus I wrote pkpm.
