VB6 unpacker?

Sarge, if you're willing to let anyone have RACE 3.1, why don't you upload it to exetools FTP, or send it to volodya so he can put it on wasm.ru (which is easily the best site for getting tools of this nature, kudos volodya! )?

1. I don't know how
Yes, I suppose someone in authority can tell me that

2. I don't know if I can
Yes, I suppose someone in authority can give me the permissions

3. I don't know if I should
Bummer here- As I said, I did not intend for this thread to become monopolized by RACE; further, this MB is not generally VB oriented. The engineers here are way, WAY above my head with a lot more esoteric stuff than VB. (what the ^%^$ is "Ring 0" anyway?)

Little voice:
"Hey,sarge, whatever happened to those how-do-I-enable-a-disabled-command-button type questions"

1. Look in the Announcements and News forum for the upload account info for the exetools FTP. And/or, ask volodya if he would like to put RACE on wasm.ru (I think they already have some VB decompilers there), then send it to him if so.

2. You don't need permission to upload tools to the FTP, this is why it's there.

3. This thread is about reversing VB, RACE is made for reversing VB, why should RACE not be discussed, especially when people are apparently eager to get it? Also, this MB may not be VB oriented, but it is about unpacking and reversing in general, including decompiling, including VB decompiling.

There is no elitist mentality on this board (except maybe for sKAMER ), it is for beginners and experts alike. VB decompilers are as helpful and necessary as any other decompilation/unpacking tool.

Well, cool!

I may do just that, thanks. I was worried about having to request that each new upgrade of RACE be uploaded by someone, and I didn't want to continuely bother people too often.
If I can do it myself, great. I'll take a look at it.

Thanks again

well Sarge, I'm sorry it wasn't really my intention to turn this into a RACE Thread either, but being as it was about VB6 unpacker .. it caught my eye.

so if anyone turned it into that, it was probally me .. my bad, I apologize for that.

I do know that the semi-VB6 decompilers are just that they do not un-pack anything.

if it is known that a VB sourced program has been compiled to an exe and then the exe has been packed with another third party packer then it must be unpacked with an un-packer specfic for that third party packer that was use .. or it must be un-packed by other means before any of the semi VB decompilers can be used to explore the program .. sorry just stating the obvious for those that might not know and are interested in this thread

and Thanx again I have been reading again at vb decomp .. it is back up and not sleeping anymore.

if you wish I can up the complete zip after un-splitting to the ftp or I can post it to the Software Release forum of course giving you complete credit for your fine work ... and only with your permission

Thanx again Sarge

I certainly don't mind your uping or posting it...it just makes it easier for me, this time. But I still have to learn the ins-and-outs of doing it myself, when the next rev comes along.

Also, I myself certainly don't mind the large quantity of RACE stuff here; I'm just trying to keep from becoming obnoxiously in-your-face to others here who are NOT interested in RACE.

And, of course, my offer to help with the details still stands.

Yeh, I saw the site today. But it's the first time it has been up in quite a while...I'm just not sure how long it will last.
