VC++ / Machine Code Reverse Engineering Project

We are looking for an experienced VC++ developer and low level binary programmer with proficient knowledge of CAD software to help us to rebuild a CAD software plugin for AutoCAD LT. LT Toolkit is an enhancement tool for AutoCAD LT that allows to run LISP routines among other added functionalities. More info: [login to view URL] LT Toolkit requires Slingshot (another set of enhancement tools for AutoCAD LT), and both source codes are in VC++ and Visual Studio 2008. Slingshot is the main component of the project. Slingshot launches AutoCAD LT and creates the custom menu in the AutoCAD User Interface. Plus, Slingshot is used as the license management tool. Chucks of source code have been deliberately deleted, along with important files. Source code also missing relevant header files (.h) and source files (.cpp) The source code is also looking for objectARX 2004 and objectARX 2009. None of both projects LT Toolkit or Toolkit are able to build properly, with a lots of errors and compiler warnings. The main sequence of launching the project: InitApp() is the starting function in the [login to view URL] file. It calls the initTheApp() function with further calls fixOpenCommand() With this reference, please see below snippet of code in the [login to view URL] source file: bool dSlingShotMain::fixOpenCommand() { MFC_RESOURCE_INIT; if (!_isLT()) return true; HMODULE hLib = GetModuleHandle(ACUIDLL); if (!hLib) return false; BYTE pNewValue[1]= { 0x01 }; PBYTE pAddress; if (myApp->acadVersion() == 2007) { pAddress = (PBYTE)hLib+0x0000C8F8; } else if (myApp->acadVersion() == 2008) { pAddress = (PBYTE)hLib+0x0000CBB8; } else return false; modifyBytes(pAddress,1,pNewValue); return true; } Above bold line of code indicates the call for ‘modifyBytes’ method in the above function. The former developer of the software has changed some binary code for some functions in this DLL file. This modification is dependent on the versions of AutoCAD LT. This kind of modification of the internal binary code is observed in following places for some other DLL files. getAroundDBXACS(), setIsAnObjectDBXModule(), setIsAnObjectDBXModule(), fixOpenCommand(), fixFullScreenVector(), fixAecUiBase45Craps(), fixupAecSystemTools47() It is also observed that this version dependent modification is done for AutoCAD LT versions 2007 to 2010 in some places, whereas the code for some versions is missing in the remaining places, e.g. the above code has the modifications for 2007 and 2008 only. The crucial code for the ‘modifyBytes’ function is also missing. Hence it is difficult to understand what is exactly happening in this function. Important source files are, too: [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL] Crucial difficulty: AutoCAD LT version wise changes to the memory address locations as we do not know internals of AutoCAD LT. Find out the working of the ‘modifyBytes’ function where changes in DLL address takes place and it is missing from the code.
