View Full Version : Smartcheck: will it handle a former Neolite packed exe ?

Hello all.

I know NOTHING about packed exe, and how to unpack it. So, sorry if it is a dumb question... : I have an app wrapped with Neolite (maximum compression), and
probably written in VB.

If I unpack it, will SC be able to handle it like any other VB app, or not ? (IDA is not really my cup of tea...)

Regards,
Aleph

If I remember well, vb compiler generates two kinds of apps :
-tokenized ones, you can smartcheck them.
-stand alone ones, you can't. and this is surely the case here.
+ there's a lot of ways to fool smartcheck, I'll encourage you to unpack it and put it inside Ida, it's not so hard, you have to search for
m$ docs for vb functions that ida will show you.
good luck

OK, I presume I'll have to study IDA once again :-(
Anyway, thanks for the light, +Tsehp.
