I have an app in which I have to manually alter several flags in order to get to the part of the code Im interested in (imagine altering ZF to pass JNZ instruction). I have to do this every time I run application. What is the best way to do this permanently so I can simply run app to the part Im interested in?I can patch binary (in different program - ie change jnz to jmp) and load it in IDA again but I have no idea how to load IDA database into it (to get my comments, function names I made etc etc).Is there any way to do this?Thanks.
IDA & patching question
ida;patching
You don't have to use separate program to patch in ida.Simple select/highlight in ida-view where you wanna patch, then in Edit(menu)>>patch byteThen after you are done patching what you need, Edit(menu>>apply patches to input file.I usually keep the backup ( you get a option for that)
