    Well, a software (I.e. a. exe file) is a long list of numbers. Some are commands like “do something when the user clicks there”, some are data, like text on a button.

    If you are very familiar with those intricacies, you can change a few bytes here or there to change what the program does.

      I’m more curious as to the process than the concept I guess. Open your exe in notepad, hold alt, and mash the numpad?
