The title sort of says it all. I need to change the md5 hash of a .exe and I dont have the source so i cant recompile. I thought about opening it in hex and adding a empty byte at the end and resaving but i think that may corrupt the exe. So anyone have any ideas?

change the file you change the hash.

Why do you need to do this to begin with?

well i know i have to change the file but its not as easy as opening it in notepad and adding a space and resaving it. Since its an exe I thought it would be different.

edit: I tried editing it in hex, and added a byte and surprisingly it worked. I tried it on another exe and it didnt work, so I guess it just depends.

Use an executable compressor?
