Hello,

I don't understand the problem here.

The dll will be loaded in the SAME context than the EXE file.
Therefore, you could patch the dll if you could control the EXE file code.

But what you can just do, is CreateProcess the EXE file, and then, instead of providing a VA inside the Target EXE (which you don't want to do, since you want to patch the dll), you just provide a VA inside the DLL to WriteProcessMemory, and since , the dll is in the same Address space (context) than the EXE file, you writeprocessmemory will work, and thus, you will be patching your protected dll without problems.

Cheers.
