remove .exe icon - narcicist - Aug 21, 2018
Not sure this is the right section but here it goes, so my rat has a custom icon even though I didnt choose one, it simply uses its default custom icon but I want to remove it so the process can mask with other legit processes in task manager, I know you can replace icons with Resource Hacker but I cant seem to remove its icon to the default .exe icon... I tried googling but all the results that come up are how to change icon and not remove. Thanks in advance.

I don't think this is possible, never seen ann application without icon. maybe just make it white to blend in in your task manager?

what I meant is I want my .exe to have the .exe default icon and not the custom icon that my rat puts
