Re: [PEN-TEST] exe to txt mobile code conversion

i believe that this application was a uudecode program written in pure
asm/machine code that only contained code bytes that were within the
uuencode spec range.

it didn't allow magical conversion or anything, and you could just use
standard uuencode/uudecode utilities availible on any operating system to
acheive this.

Subject: exe to txt mobile code conversion


some time ago, (maybe months) someone posted about
a tool which converted executeables to plain text, and easily
back to executeable again by just saving the txt as a *.com

does anyone know the name of this tool or where it can be
found?  (it was an NT application).   any help much appreciated.
