>> how do u open exe 2 from exe 1 and how do u pass parameters to it?
how hard is it to type complete words? after all, this isn't a chat room...
anyway, look into the execXXX family of functions...
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
sorry if it bothers you.............

hi,
a undocumented way to do what you want is calling FreeLibrary() in your own imagebase(under w9x) or UnmapViewOfFile(), under nt4.
in assembler, you would do something like that:
delete_self:
mov ecx,implant_size
sub esp, ecx ;alloc some mem in stack
mov edi,esp
mov esi,offset implant
rep movsb ;copy self-delete code to there
jmp esp ;and jump
implant:
sub esp,200h ;alloc temp buffer in stack
mov eax, esp
push 200h
push eax
push 0
call GetModuleFileName ;get current filename
push 0
call GetModuleHandle
push eax ;arg for UnmapViewOfFile
push eax
call FreeLibrary
call UnmapViewOfFile
push esp
call DeleteFile
add esp,200h
jmp $ ;hang (you can also call ExitProcess)
implant_size equ $-implant
very likely the code willnt compile as is, coz i write it from the top of my head. but play with this idea and it will work...
hope it help.
jmgk
this doesn't work
Check1.exe
Check2.exeCode:int main() { system("check2.exe test"); return 0; }
output/error:Code:int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << argv[1] << endl; if (argv[1] = "test") { Sleep(1000); system("del check1.exe"); } else { cout << "Error"; } return 0; }
test
c:\documents and....\check1.exe

delete won't delete a running program. How about trying one of the suggestion given during this thread?
The second link posted by anonytmouse is excellent. I suggest you try his snippet at the bottom of his page.
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
Sebastiani: The exec family of functions replaces the current process image with a new process image.
how does this help?
Thantos: i did try one of the suggestions. a couple were about exe 1 calling exe 2 and exe 2 deleting exe 1. that's what i tried to accompish.
pianorain: can't remember but either that code didn't compile or i got errors when running the program.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!Thantos: i did try one of the suggestions. a couple were about exe 1 calling exe 2 and exe 2 deleting exe 1. that's what i tried to accompish
EXE 1 deletes EXE 2 based off of the return value from EXE 2.
do u have any code on how exe 1 gets the return value of exe 2?
and will that solve my problem or will i still get an Access Denied?
Just as a note, the following line:
will not work as you expect it to. You are assigning a value to a pointer, not testing the value of a string (firstly, = vs. ==). Look into the strcmp function in <cstring> to test the value.Code:if (argv[1] = "test")
that link was already posted and i assure you i read the whole thing word for word. there was a problem with each one. either it didn't compile on my crap compiler, the method would not work on my version of Windows, or i didn't know enough about what a method talked about to be able to use it.
still don't know how to get return values from other programs

bballzone,
so, what more we can do for you?
jmgk
"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
EXE 1 deletes EXE 2 based off of the return value from EXE 2"
i think the last thing i need before i can get this to work is how to get a return value from another program. maybe i'm just too new at this and the answer is obvious.
WHAT A SEC...attempting to do more things on my own and it might be working.
ok yep i got it. sometimes experimenting on your own is the best way to learn..which is the hard way unfortunately
thx every1 for the help
