Here you can create a PE with encrypted strings and imports using win32x.inc. This is my first try of fasm's great macro.
You can add mimas's code encryption on thread:
flat assembler > Macroinstructions > XOR Crypting Macro So it will be a full encrypted PE...
Sorry for the bad english! Embarassed

btw i'm new here n in 'FASM World' greets to all! Very Happy

FASM ROCKS! Thanks Thomasz!
Some question:
Why cant I use the JohnFound's Global Macro on FASM 1.64?

nb:
assemble blank.asm and put the resulting .exe to the same dir as win32x.inc, that is your fasminc directory. Smile

resoftw: because it just isn't in FASM standard macro package.

I suggest you to stick to following definition, because it will (hopefully) be future FASM Standard Library standard - name was changed to "idata" or "udata" (instead of "iglobal" / "uglobal").

Also block isn't enclosed just in "idata" - "endg", but it beheaves like usual macro definition (it IS macrodefintion anyway). So you use it in this manner:

Code:

idata {
  db 1
  mylabel db "aaaaaa",0
}

I changed this, because when using JohnFound's "endg" inside macro-definition, you had to excape it ( "\endg") to work properly, and this could be confusing. Escaping symbol "}" comes more natural than escaping "endg" IMO.

So here is the definition:

Code:

macro idata arg
{
  __IData equ __IData,   ;add one ',' to __IData, initial "__IData" before ','s will be used 
to call macro
  macro __IDataBlock     ;begin macro (or overload old one) which holds data inside "idata" 
block
  arg
}

macro udata arg
{
  __UData equ __UData,
  macro __UDataBlock
  arg
}

;include all "idata"-defined blocks
macro IncludeIData
{
  macro __IData dummy,[n]  ;create macro which will be invoked, [n] makes sure macro's 
forward will
  \{                       ;be preprocessed for each ',' added to __IData
    \forward
       __IDataBlock        ;use the macro with data
       purge __IDataBlock  ;and remove it so previous macro becomes avilable
  \}
  match I, __IData \{ I \} ;and now unroll __IData macro (just "__IData" wouldn't do, 
replaced equate isn't
                           ;preprocessed anymore and so it wouldn't beheave as macro usage)
  purge __IData            ;__Idata macro is not needed anymore
}


;include all "udata"-defined blocks
macro IncludeUData         ;... same as IncludeIData but it is whole in virtual to count size 
and define labels
{                          ;and then required space is reserved
  macro __UData dummy,[n]
  \{
    \common
       \local ..begin, ..size
       ..begin = $
       virtual at $
    \forward
       __UDataBlock
       purge __UDataBlock
    \common
       ..size = $ - ..begin
       end virtual
       rb ..size
   \}
  match U, __UData
  \{
    U
  \}
  purge __UData
}

;include both with this directive
macro IncludeAllData
{
  IncludeIData
  IncludeUData
}
idata {}
udata {}

and here is example:

Code:

idata {myslabel db 20}
udata {
  string db "Breaking backward compatibility",10,0
  buffer rb 100
}
...
IncludeAllData

include "win32x.inc" ;include this

hello dbx 'Hello World!',0
title dbx 'Win32X test App',0

main: ; program's main...
         ; define this if using win32x.inc
    undbxall ; decrypting all dbx strings...
         ; call it before using any dbx strings
         ; and should be placed after all of dbx declarations...
         ; coz it's a macro..

    invoke MessageBox,0,hello,title,0
    invoke ExitProcess,0

That's all, use FASMW 1.64, I never tried lower version

BLANK.ASM is source code for DOS STUB (blank.exe) Wink

vid: Thanks alot for your great help....
I was using nasm just before I use fasm.. that's why I want this macro to be working badly....

regards

resoftw: nasm had ability / macro to move parts of code elsewhere? Or you mean concatenating sections by linker?

vid: yes that's it, concatenating sections by linker, i know it's a linker's job, but with powerful 'Flat Assembler' and it's macro features, why not?

Your solution helps so much, thanks vid! Very Happy

sorry, i forgot to mention, blank.exe can be produced by assembling the blank.asm, then put it along with win32x.inc in your fasm include dir.

actualy blank.exe has nothing to do with the encryption it self, it's just in order to make the dos exe header smaller... (default fasm pe stub is 0x80 in size, while this 'blank.exe' produce a stub that has 0x40 in size)

optionally you can remove on 'BLANK.EXE' like vid said.

regards
