change 1 little thing in an .exe program
Hey,
I have a program that checks my game account every 5 seconds.
It just copies a few parts of an HTML file and outputs it on a little window.
The problem is that I have too change something in the program sothat he goes to port 8000 of the webpage (where he copies data from) instead of 8080.
I have totally NO programming experience and i dont know who made that program.
So can someone explain me how I can change this program???

i dont have the source code.... just the program only :P

how can i "hack the program" then ?? :-\
Basically, you can't - not without knowing assembly language and having a debugger - and even then it could be fairly difficult...

can some1 do it for me then???

Do you own the rights to the program? Hacking a program that is written and copyrighted by someone else is illegal and against the policies of this board.
You are probably better off going to the original author and paying them to make the change for you.

well.... i dont own the rights... but hmm... how can i explain it...
There is a web-based game that everybody on the world playes. The program that I have is a "notifier" so that it notifies you when you are under attack. But the game server changed from port 8080 to port 8000. So now the notifier wont work.
I dont know who made this little program, cos its an old program and it has no "about"-button or emailaddress or something. I downloaded from a fansite and the webmaster also doesnt know where that program came from....so... im a bit stuck :P

thanks for your help again.... next problem: :P
its an .exe file only.
I tried to right click on the file and then pressed properties => version.
It says: "Copyright: " <= nothing
"Company: " <= nothing
"Language: German" <= its English but ok :P
"Product Version: 0.001"
So I really cant find an owner :'( ......

How about the game site that uses it? Don't they know, or have options for you?

If not, it's going to be tough to help you, since you'd have to hack the program in a debugger...
