Visual Basic Program patching

[Shub-Nigurrath]

Hi,
I'm managing for the first time a protected program written in VB.

h77p://www.davidco.com/productDetail.php?id=63&IDoption=21

Unfortunately IDA PRO also available in the FTP doesn't disassemble it regularly..

I haven't tried to use OllyDbg, because I wouldn't install the tool (I used a wise unpacker to extract things and IDA would be fine, doing things statically).

Anyone have any idea for this? Is there some files to add to IDA to make it working?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, you should get Smartcheck from NuMega, it's an invaluable tool for VB debugging.

But if you want to try going deeper, CrackZ has some information about cracking p-code.

There's also a nice discussion board about vb decompiling:

Hi,
Smartcheck isn't anymore downloadable. Any1 could up on the ftp server?

Secondly, In the IDA documentation there's written that it's able to disassemble also Visual Basic progs, but the versions available here are all not able to do so. Much probably the Visual Basic *.d32, *.dll and *.w32 files (and all the others connected) are missing.

Can any1 up those files on the FTP??

Here's a ed2k link to Devpartner 7.10 iso-image:

There's an IDA plugin available that "disassembles" the PCode opcodes, but I don't know how comprehensive it is. If you like, I can dig through my notes and try to find the URL

Sorry for being so lazy, but can you tell me an URL to that thing directly.
I never used the IDA forum, hence I also do not know where's it.
