Programmers' Tools - assembly

Easy Code

Wed, 8 Oct 2008 21:23:19 -0700

Version:
1.02.0.0001

The 'Wrap' property for 'UpDown' controls did not work at all.
The 'SetBuddyInt' property for 'UpDown' controls did not work properly.

Description:

Easy Code is the visual assembly programming environment made to build 32-bit Windows applications. The Easy Code interface, looking like Visual Basic, allows you to program a Windows assembler application in a quick and easy way as never possible before. Download and test this application which is distributed with a setup program and includes the source code of a nice CD player, a complete and fast text editor in a dll file (to be able to program your own editor), a complete and excellent text editor ready to use, a file shredder, a MIDI player and many other applications. There are two available versions of Easy Code:

- Masm version using the Microsoft Macro Assembler (distributed with Masm32 and GeneSys packages)
- GoAsm version using the Jeremy Gordon's Go tools (distributed with the ECGo package)

RosAsm

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:38:20 -0700

Version:
2.050a

Description:

IDE with full integration of all components. RosAsm is auto-compilable and the Sources are hosted inside the PEs. No installation overhead (the silent auto-install coming with RosAsmFull.zip makes RosAsm the only actual Click&Go Assembler environment).

High Level Assembly (HLA)

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 04:28:32 -0700

Version:
1.103

Description:

The HLA (High Level Assembly) language was developed as a tool to help teach assembly language programming and machine organization to University students at the University of California, Riverside. The basic idea was to teach students assembly language programming by leveraging their knowledge of high level languages like C/C++ and Pascal/Delphi. At the same time, HLA was designed to allow advanced assembly language programmers write more readable and more powerful assembly language code.

aPLib

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:57:40 -0700

Version:
0.44

Description:

aPLib is a 32-bit compression library based on the compression algorithm used in aPACK (my executable compressor). aPLib is an easy-to-use alternative to many of the heavy-weight compression libraries available.

Udis86

Wed, 3 Jan 2007 09:14:25 -0800

Version:
1.4

News:

The new standalone build system makes udis86 usable and embeddable in kernel code (or other environments which, say, lack libc).

Description:

Udis86 is an easy-to-use minimalistic disassembler library (libudis86) for the x86 and AMD64 (x86-64) range of instruction set architectures. The primary intent of the design and development of udis86 is to aid software development projects that entail binary code analysis.

TatraDAS

Version:
2.9.7

Description:

TatraDAS is disassembler of x86 executables which supports PE, NE, MZ, COM, ELF and unknown executable file formats. It includes disassembler, text viewer with syntax highlighting and enables modifying output (see Documentation), saving output to project and text files, export to NASM compilable files.

Fixed a bug where recent files menu could show wrong filename (DBCS fonts only).

Description:
RadASM^© Win32 assembly IDE for masm/tasm/fasm/nasm/goasm/hla.

PC Assembly Language

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 13:40:33 -0700

Version:
July 23, 2006

Description:

The tutorial has extensive coverage of interfacing assembly and C code and so might be of interest to C programmers who want to learn about how C works under the hood. All the examples use the free NASM (Netwide) assembler. The tutorial only covers programming under 32-bit protected mode and requires a 32-bit protected mode compiler.

I have example code files for: DJGPP, Borland, Microsoft, Open Watcom and Linux C compilers. The examples in the text of the tutorial are for DJGPP only, but how to interface with the other compilers is discussed as well. The example files also include macros that allow easy input/output and debugging (register dumps, memory dumps, coprocessor dumps and stack dumps). If you plan on running the examples in the tutorial, you must download the appropriate example code file. It contains support files used by the examples in the tutorial (such as asm_io.inc).

MasmEd

Mon, 29 May 2006 05:13:15 -0700

Version:
1.0.4.6

News:

New style manager to set control styles.
Added Default to button text alignment.
Added function to set tabindexes.
Fixed a dialog edit fontsize bug.

Description:

Masm code editor with syntax hiliting.
Resource editor with more than 30 windows controls + custom controls.
Single exe file. No ini files or dll's needed.
No project file.

Fresh

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 14:20:04 -0700

Version:
alpha 1.1.4

Description:

Fresh is a visual assembly language IDE with built-in FASM assembler.

The main goal of Fresh is to make programming in assembly as fast and efficient as in other visual languages, without sacrificing the small application size and the raw power of assembly language.

x86 ASM32 book

Intro to Reverse Engineering Software

Thu, 6 Apr 2006 07:17:11 -0700

Version:
NA

Description:

This book is an attempt to provide an introduction to reverse engineering software under both Linux and Microsoft Windows©. The goal of this book is not to cover how to reproduce an entire program from a binary, but instead how to use the Scientific Method to deduce specific behavior and to target, analyze, extract and modify specific operations of a program, usually for interoperability purposes. As such, the book takes a top-down approach, starting at the highest level (program behavior) and drilling down to assembly when it is needed.

Obfuscator for x86 assembler

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 05:35:17 -0800

Version:
1.0

Description:

Obfuscator is a tool to modify x86 assembler source code in this way to make an analysis of compiled code very difficult. Small example:

obfuscator_example.zip - see how it works, compare both original.exe and obfuscated.exe files

It is an unusual tool and the target audience is quite small, but if you're writing assembler code and you want to protect your work from decompilation or just to make it as hard as it's possible to analyze, you might want to try it.

WinAsm Studio

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 17:28:12 -0800

Version:
5.1.3.0

News:

Open a standalone rc file that contains a richedit control. Close WinAsm Studio. Crash! (Thanks shoorick)
Speed optimizations regarding "Make" options.
A minor bug when external debugger is used.

Description:
