How to Modify DLL Files

1. Examine the reasons why you are modifying a .DLL file. Downloadable programs exist that can work with .DLL files that contain icons. The 'Reflector' program has an option under the 'Tools' menu that is used for extracting icons. You can load the .DLL file into this program and choose this option. If this is your goal, download some available programs (see Resource section).
2. Attain a .DLL decompiler. These programs modify the .DLL file. Decompiler software separates the .DLL file and creates several different parts out of the original file. Free, downloadable programs such as W32DASM and Reflector (see Resources) can do this job.
3. Open and run the decompiler program. Once the program is running and you have loaded the .DLL file, it will proceed to create smaller parts out of the original .DLL file. Manually do this by clicking 'Add File' under the 'File' menu and selecting the .DLL file that you want to modify. Afterward, click the 'Decompile' button in the program window. In this state, you can observe the code and make any modifications to the file in the program.
4. Recompile the .DLL file. Once your modifications are completed, you can have the decompiler program put the .DLL file back together. Click the 'Recompile' option in the 'File' menu to undergo this process and complete your .DLL file modification.

How to Decode an Email in MIME Format

1. Load the contents of the email message.
2. Check the "Content-Type" header. If the content type is multipart (i.e. "multipart/mixed", "multipart/alternative", etc) the message will have multiple sections to parse. If the content type is multipart, continue with below steps.
3. The Content-Type header should contain a unique string used by the code that generated the MIME message to designate MIME part boundaries. Example:Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021"The boundary string in this case is "part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021".
4. Each MIME part will be separated by the boundary string preceeded by two dashes ("--") on a blank line. You will need to scan the message line by line looking for the part boundaries. All text in between the boundaries *except the final CR/LF* is part of that MIME part.Important: The last MIME part will end with the boundary string followed by two more dashes.Example:--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
First MIME part.--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
Second MIME part--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021
Last MIME part.--part_c7161025_fe8a_45f4_83ef_6befcfa5d021--
5. Each MIME part then needs to be parsed. The format of each MIME part is similar to the original RFC/822 formatted message. It will contain a series of headers, followed by a blank line, then the body data.
6. A MIME part can itself be multipart, with its own "Content-Type" header and boundary string. Your code must recursively parse MIME parts until it reaches the child nodes.
7. A MIME part can simply be a binary attachment. In this case a Filename header will usually be supplied, along with the transfer encoding. BASE64 is a popular encoding type. In this case the entire MIME part body must be BASE64 decoded. As an example here are the first few lines of an attached JPG image:------_=_NextPart_003_01C755EF.43F2628D
Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="testimage.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: testimage.jpg
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="testimage.jpg"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgHBwcJCQgKDBQNDAsLDBkSEw8UHRofHh0a
HBwgJC4nICIsIxwcKDcpLDAxNDQ0Hyc5PTgyPC4zNDL/2wBDAQkJCQwLDBgNDRgyIRwhMjIyMjIy
MjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjL/wAARCAQABQQDASIA
AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA
8. The HTML body of the message should be in a MIME section with ContentType: Text/Html, inside a ContentType: Multipart/Alternative MIME section.
9. The plaintext body of the message should be in a MIME section with ContentType: Text/plain, inside a ContentType: Multipart/Alternative MIME section.
