[Tool] PEChecksum v1.4 - modifype replacement

[n7Epsilon]

ModifyPE doesn't seem to work on Vista, so I made one that does. It also supports fixing checksums on x64 executables (don't know if modifype supported that or not).

Source + Binary (in "release" folder):
Download from SkyDrive
MD5: 4A0DFAD754F21466038C4C7BBD25D41B

Exit Code (errorlevel):
2 - Usage error
1 - Failed due to an error (error message written to console)
0 - Success

* Changelog:
v1.4
- Small bug fix, now returns a proper error message instead of "[6] handle is invalid."

v1.3
- Recompiled application as unicode.

v1.2:
- File modified time is now no longer changed when fixing its checksum (but last access time is not preserved).
- Fixed a compiler warning.

v1.1:
- Checksum printed on screen in hexadecimal instead of decimal
- Improved check for non-PE files.

v1.0:
- Initial release

n7Epsilon, just tried your new tool PEChecksum.exe, sounds interesting (you might want to create a new discussion thread about it)

the major problem with modifyPE is that you can't specify input file path, you have to run modifype from folder where input file is.

however, using these 2 tools, the displayed checksum isn't the same... can you explain me why? ex:

modifype notepad.exe -c -v reports me "checksum is 000147F7"
pechecksum -p notepad.exe reports me "checksum is 85887"

[n7Epsilon]

000147F7 is 85887 written as a hexadecimal number

(slap myself ) just checked, that's right, thanks for the quick reply... it was too easy to find... re-slap myself...

however, as this tool intends to be a modifyPE replacement/successor, you might display checksum by default in hex format (as modifyPE does), and add a command-line option (for example "-d") to display checksum in decimal format

[ENU_user]

in the aspect of speed concern will you consider making a version of PEChecksum that will run without any reports or console or using switches will do
so it can run fluently and for many files in a time .. then everyone can start using it as from now .etc
any more switches to this ?
well done!

[n7Epsilon]

you can just add >NUL in your batch file. It cannot be optimized more than this.

Released version 1.2

[ENU_user]

was 100% sure that the (last access time is not preserved) feature was already in with the previous.

i should have checked this before updating some tools ..
anyhow 's thanks for the updates

cheers

[n7Epsilon]

Released v1.3

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Hey can this handle multiply selected files? Can I add this into my uberpack?

[n7Epsilon]

Multiple selected files, no, since this is a cmd application. You are free to write a batch file with a for loop however. Sure, you can include this application in your pack but keep up with the updates .

heeheheh

[n7Epsilon]

Released v1.4, fixes [6] Handle is invalid and shows a proper error message instead.

VOILA WORKING

some China ISPs "provided" moooore restrictions than comcast, and the official explanation was "help prevent xx files, movies, pics being exchanged and spreaded". but in fact any one believes the true reason must be to reduce network usage.
