Question! About Bots

Just a quick question to people who knows about bots etcetc. No this is not a request for a bot just a question;

"What language is bots such as CabalRider, TwinR and Botsmall for example, written in? Like is it VisualBasic etc.etc."

Hope my question makes sense.

chances are, it's not visual basic, but in theory, it could be.

If you're asking so that you can make your own, whatever language you know best would be the place to start. It can be simple scripts, or made in C# or any C/basic language you know.

If you're asking so that you can reverse engineer it, unless it's a script (and those examples are not), you're going to find this extremely difficult and probably only partially doable at best. Most of the source code is left out of the final "exe" file when it is converted. You can disassemble an "exe" file into an "asm" file. This is assembly languange and is something between machine code and visual whatever code. Coding anything complex in assembly languange directly is an overwhelmingly difficult task. Making changes here and there to suit your needs is very doable.

I second what was stated by the above poster, additional information you would want to try is if any of these programs are released with a PDB or are well commented code dumping the text strings and or PDB would allow you to make a compatible dll to use those existing functions and write your own then inject that dll reference into the import table. If this executable is packed that would prove slightly more difficult.

Hmm interesting then how do people crack and edit exes. Anyhow I think I got more than I asked. Thnx.

when you crack an exe file, you dont take it all the way back to source code. you either disassemble it to assembly code, or more commonly you debug it. ollydbg is a free program and probably the most popular for debugging and cracking exe files. It's pretty powerful alone, but eventually you may want to add more programs.

If you do decide to check out ollydbg, here is a page full of video tutorials starting from the most basic and working your way up. You need to sign up to the forum, but it's well worth it if you're serious about learning to crack files.
