binary patching and tamper-resistant executables
Binary patching refers to the process of modifying the code or data of a compiled executable file without needing access to its original source code. It involves altering specific sections of the binary file to fix bugs, add new features, or enhance its functionality. Tamper-resistant executables, on the other hand, are designed to protect against unauthorized modifications or tampering. These executables employ various techniques to prevent attackers from modifying or altering their code, ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the executable remains intact.
