Hi CEF community, i was bored the other day so i decided to make a CE tool which compares multiple array of bytes and replace the characters that aren't matching with an asterisk.

I did that tool to practise my coding skills (principally) (Working with controls, annoying loops, etc..) And i thought that it could be useful for a couple of people (Honestly, i don't know who's gonna use it, i doubt it'll be useful).

So here it is, if you use it and you find a bug, you can always post the issues here.

This belongs to the binaries forum:

Also,here is a similar tool,avaliable in source code:

Did you make yours with C++?
It requires the version 4.0 of .NET Framework.

I really don't know the purpose of this tool. It would be rather more useful if there is a tool creating a valid aobscan by replacing jmps, calls and also these dumb [ebp-...] because they are all changing very frequently on patches.

Good work mate!

Here's a suggestion that i think will make this tool somewhat useful, in the output field generate a CE aobscan() command so all you need to do is just copy paste that in to CE AA. You can even make a copy function.

Its pretty nice if you made it just for testing your coding skills/learning but despite being the king of lazies, i find just adding the ??/asterisks myself easier whenever a signature changes and it doesn't happen often unless the game had tons of patches.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies mates.
Redone, STN => OP Edited

Redone => Thanks for the forum link, i may request a topic move but DB may be busy too. When i finished my tool, i dicovered this vbscipt, and it's clever, when i saw rydian saying that multiline textboxes would be great, i edited my post to add this feature to the todo list. ANd like i said in the OP, i did it in v.net, i 100% agree with you, this sucks x), but i'm too lazy to spend time learning, designing an interface with code, etc....

Hatshi => I'm not doing that, because of:
1.VB.net (self explanatory i guess)
2.I'm not even skilled to do that (in another language) because i must learn x), and editing memory is much more complex than a
System.out.printf('Hello worldz'); //I don't even remember, someone is yelling at me right now, whatever
I would say that this is kinda basic (i'm using loop until, for loops) that's it i guess (maybe more, i don't remember), but the logic behind it didn't take me 5mins (I know that i'm still learning, and some guys would take 10 min to code everything).

STN => Thanks mate :3
I'll try to do this darn AoB script generator (1 month).
And about the manual method => Like i said, i made it because i wanted to extend my "skills" (I'm so convincing with my vb, you can't touch this :p) ("logic" would be better idk) and it was funny to make :p

So thanks, it's always good to have replies on that :p I all wish you good holidays (or work)

@Stregum, a solution for the space thing that messes up would be,
Remove all space and select in a loop 2 bytes..

[Stregum]

@DaSpamer: I thought about that, but to restore the spaces (i "stick" some bytes when there are offsets or static addresses),.....
I could use a string mask, that's possible, i'll think about it.
