Seeing the makeup of an .exe file

hi guys, i am interested in finding out how to see what a .exe contains (ya i know, a .exe file is a guess what! an executable file!) what i am trying to get to see inside the executable file itself, the actual programming for it. basically i want to crack open the conquer file.

OllyDbg <-- not a bad dissassembler . I think if u wanna look into an exe, you wanna use olly. This wont let you see the original source code file that produced the exe, but it will let u see the assembly code which is enough for making some hacks.

There is a really good thread here for getting started with OllyDbg called "OllyDBG & CO" by tanelipe. It will show u how to make your own multiclient, enable pm commands and such. That would be an ok starting place. Ah... also search for an Assembly Language Tutorial, get the hang of that too. (Otherwise its gonna look very confusing, like some alien language)

When ya get used to seeing that (and assuming u know some programming already), start searching some sample code google for hooks and DLL injections.

Reflector may help, not 100% certain it will, but it's worth a try.

Yeah, I use OllyDBG, Best disassembler out there, but no matter what you use, you will not get the source code, It wont be easy for ya most likely ;)

heyo, reporting back. Firstly like to say, thanks for the assistance secondly LOL i have no idea what i am doing. If there is anyone here (a good programmer, who would like to help me out with my "project" let me know)

.Net reflector is for, just that, .NET applications. Conquer is in C++(or rather, managed c++)
