Newbie question ASPR 1.23 RC4 (long!)

[JMI]

Wurstgote:

I have not played with your target, but there has been much written about various techniques used by ASPR to attempt to foil the efforts of the "honest crackers." One of those techniques is the process of setting points in the original program that attempt to jump off into parts of the ASPR code or, sometime, might even move part of the original code into the area of the ASPR code. Generally these are called "dips" but often they send the program off to addresses usually "above" the normal code range of the original exe, into the code range where ASPR is/was found.

The point of the exercise is that when you remove the ASPR wrapper around the exe, by dumping, you might no longer have access to these "dips" or they might have changed or moved necessary data and, unless you dump at the right time or fix the reference in the exe,which send the program off looking at these locations, you will get an error and your program will not work correctly. I believe, generally, that is what is being discussed.

Regards,
