I am making a program that will block different menu's from access, such as the mem menu and the link menu (to prevent the overwriting of the Mirage password file). I have the keyhook and blocking part done, but I need a password screen so that when someone does go to these menus it will display a password screen.
Problem lies therein: how do I take a custom password from a user and store it in memory, then later compare it to input from the user? My choice APPVAR, but cant find any tutorials.
Also, I only know direct input with _getkey and stuff, so is there another input routine that I could use??? PLEASE GIVE EXAMPLES!!! |

i dont know much asm, but since appvars and prgms have the same format, store the pw to a prgm with invalid characters (so it wont show up in the prgm menu) and then convert it.

Store it IN the program with SMC (Self Modifying Code).
I think it's in day 24 in "learning asm in 28 days". |
