Wow, that is a lot of reading. I can say it really fast...

Xor every byte together after the header(first 2048 bytes)

so in c(sorry for my crappy code... I had surgery today)

Code: Select all

FILE *fp;
DWORD Signature=0;
DWORD *Buffer;
if((fp=fopen(Map_Path,rb)==NULL)
     return -1; //A file error
fseek(fp,2048,NULL); //correct me if Im wrong on the function prototype here.
while(!feof(fp)){
     fread(Buffer,1,sizeof(DWORD),fp);
     Signature^=Buffer[0];
}
return Signature;

then write that to the offset of the signature.
Oh yeah DWORD=unsigned int
so...

Code: Select all

typedef unsigned int DWORD;

Map Magic != Encryptomatic Signature

I'll chalk this one up to the anesthetics.
