RAIN: .NET/WP7 Applications Hacking (+Dis/Assembler)

Hi, Pory!
You should be able to compile the C# code by simply saving (ctrl+s). Have you checked the bottom pane for compiler errors? (well, i assume the decompiler is not always perfect).

As for the IL editor, I'made some improvements and will be back on the next beta sorry for the inconvinience, please share what the problem seems to be

Hey, Martin

I'm checking it right now and I can't seem to repeat that behaviour :-( Are you, by any chance, trying to open a DLL as text?
By the way, I'd be glad if you use the Issue Tracker, it's a better way to keep track of the problems at hand.

I use the ocasion to apologize for the missed release date (almost a month ago). I've been very busy with my daytime job lately. I have many nice ideas for Rain but unfortunately I lack the time to focus on this project.
Of course, I also want to keep it donateware, so things are moving real slow

What do you think of a built-in x86 IL compiler? The idea is to take a .NET executable and make it "standalone", parsing and translating the intermediate language to x86 ASM and then assembling it to native EXE. I'm still thinking on the algorithm, mostly because of the object-oriented stuff, but it would be quite possible.

I'd also like to include as many [de-]obfuscators, but that also takes a lot of time to code. Damn time

Hey guys... since I've been asked a few times already, now I'm explaining Rain's behaviour when opening DLL's:
You would usually be shown a "open file" dialog. In the filter box you can see a file name - SomeAssembly.dll.
This is an assembly that has been referenced in the DLL you are trying to decompile but cannot be found in the same folder as the DLL (or in the XAP package in the case of such) or in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache). So... you have to point the program where is the file located, so it can be loaded and decompiled in its turn As for Windows Phone, for example, your needed assembly would usually be located in a path like "C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone71".

I've made some imporovements in the RC (yep, there is one coming up) and Rain will remember some common locations for DLL's and will save you the need to point out most assemblies.

Also, I'm making some bigger plans about creating an online depot for hackin... oops, I meant development )) resources users are willing to share, such as assemblies, cracked pieces of code, resources, ideas, etc. - all integrated inside the program. That would make it a bit more social-oriented, so it can save you more time when possible. It would be great if I can accomplish some integration with XDA at some point. There are many ideas, but there are many things to work on yet and so little time :-(

Sorry once again, hope I've cleared some things up ;-)

Hi

I noticed a peak in the interest for this small software I wrote as a joke on weed and beer diet for a week a few years ago.
Since I'm a grown a responsible person now (hahahaha) I just can't maintain the project myself.
So I put it on GitHub. Feel free to contribute or take the whole thing and make it into something better if you wish and know how.
It's written in WPF/C# so I'm expecting many many servants to join me on my quest to world domination or whatever.
