12 runEXE Methods | Open Source | FREE | Unique Run/Open Executable | Windows C - Hackers - Mar 19, 2024
12 Working Examples - Unique Run EXE Methods - Native Windows - C
This repo contains 12 total prototypes. Each program loads a local helloworld.exe, in a unique way. This is meant to help you better understand the many ways of running a program in Windows.
- 1) Read .exe file & push binary data to tmp file to run process
- 2) Copy .exe file to new tmp path and run process
- 3) Use original .exe in new process
- 4) Use shell execute to open the .exe
- 5) Copy .exe to new folder, run new file as process, then delete the copied file & the new directory
- 6) Use shell execute to open the .exe in a suspended process, resume the thread to run program
- 7) Schedule a task (schtasks) to run the program at 8:40PM (20:40 military time)
- 8) Use cmd.exe to open the program, from a process
- 9) Create a .vbs file with a simple WScript shell to run our program, ran from system(), with .vbs file removal at end
- 10) Create a registry key that will run our exe from our custom command, then execute the command with cmd /c start
- 11) Create a temporary .bat file that runs an exe
- 12) Use Powershell to start a process to run the exe
What's next?
Once you fully understand each of the 12 methods, you should work on converting your original exe to binary data and loading into a header file. This will let you then work on the next step of saving the binary data to a tmp file so you can use any of the methods here without the original .exe file packaged in with your final program.
What's next for me?
I will probably do another POC thread like this - such as 13 runPE methods that use binary data from a resource or header file.
Disclaimer
This is not a crypter guys and girls. I have a few free crypters you can use if that's what you are looking for. This is just a collection of 12 run .exe methods written in C for beginners to learn more & get started with their own tools.

Thanks man, this is the first time I've even tried a few of these, especially the last few on the list there 9-12.
Happy to share as I continue to learn more :)
Also, this thread is a POC for my project: aicrypter.com
- I generated all of these with AI based on the single-file example I made - CryptDemo here: https://github.com/LNodesL/CryptDemo
- I had to obviously modify some things, fix bugs, test, etc too
- I am thinking about maybe building up a large lib of different methods like this & training a model that will output unique variations of run methods

I agree. It's not the "free code", but being motivated by watching your journey and your generous sharing spirit.
OK, OK, .... enough brown-nosing (lol) , thanks a bill for the above

That's nice to hear. But of course it's both - I am more focused on the learning than the code overall. I hope to learn & teach basically, as I progress through C/C++ more.
