Hi all,

The original post had quite a stupid question so I've edited and decided to post another one:

Why aren't VB apps afected by IAT Redirection? I've read lots of tutorials regarding Armadillo and didn't found any explanation. It seems I AM supposed to know that, but I don't

Thanks in advance.

Do you understand what an IAT actually is? And second, do you understand the concept of how VB programs work with their "own" code, which does some of the fuction otherwise performed by imports in a "non-VB" environment?

Think of the concept of the "imports" being "extra" pieces of code, brought in or "called" as needed by the program. This is an oversimplification of the significance of all this, but the comparison works for "basic" understanding. Some windows programs rely on "parts" provided by windows. Not to hard.

VB has its own "library" of pieces of code it can call to do needed actions. It doesn't always need or used the same "pieces" of extra code as windows programs do, so it doesn't necessarily "import" the same stuff with the same calling conventions and for the same purpose as does Windows.

This is a good subject for some "BASIC READING" on Import Tables and Visual Basic Libraries.

Regards,

Hum,

I do understand the concept of IAT perfectly, and I knew how VB uses it's owns libraries, it just seems that I was lacking some sort of *click* in my brain and your answer fixed that

Come to think of it...it was a pretty dumb doubt!

Thank you, and I'll proceed onto some reading!
