Hi guys, noob question here. I'm looking to modify wpa_supplicant files located in system/bin.
It's an executable files, is there a way to modify this?

Thanks

I don't think that's noobs question.
I asked one month ago still no one answered but there's a way, these are binaries and are compiled from source and we need to edit source before compiling.
But I want a solution to reverse engineer them.

it's hard to edit already compiled binaries and i don't think there is any softwear to edit this already compiled binaries but it's too easy to edit when he was not compiled mean in source.

Yep it is but I tried opening them using hex editor and much stuff of it was visible but not complete.
I don't think its impossible to reverse engineer binaries.
I believe someone will come up like brut who made apk reverse engineering possible.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Since these are usually small executables I could start reverse engenieerig them but im sure someone already has all the source code on some online repository?

Has anyone who posted above found an easy solution?

boy do i wish the world was full of nice honest hard workers who all made things open and didnt steal..... theres a tiny bug in android 4.3 roms and my guess is its on purpose lol... if i can edit just a few lines of code i can fix so much :/

4k thanks and disabled? Yikes id probably take your side lol. Some binaries are incredibly easy, or were you referring to these :( ive done this before but the process depends upon their compilation methods and can get very nasty :(

Edit: oh darn... He cant answer huh? Woulda been another thnx ;)
