Coding rat/crypter file size too big? - sonny - Jul 2, 2021
Why does the file even matter?
I tried to compile a simple hello world using c++ ( statically linked stdlib ) and size was 2.6mb then removing debug symbols and other unnecessary stuff it went down to 800kb.
while with C just included stdio.h and its just 400kb
Why does the size matter? for a rat or even for a crypter. Should I use C or C++ in this case?
Found my answer : C++ libraries are just too big C has small lib's and when combined with optimization it gets to 15 kb.
