because you have hardcoded this?
Code:
mb db 6ah,?,6ah,?,6ah,?,6ah,?,0e8h,0bh,0edh,7fh,76h,0c3h    

you don't really pass valid pointer to MessageBox API.

asm0day_ru,

Are you sure that VirualAlloc() will return proper address so that call rel32 will transfer control to MessageBoxA()? call ptr16:32 probably can alleviate that problem, to a some extent. Wink

I tried his code in OllyDbg.
Allocation is ok, but he hardcoded the address of (presumably) MessageBoxA - these last bytes at 'mb' vector.
They point to inaccessible memory.

AsmGuru62,

Guess why? It seems to me that he's not understanding what that code's doing (allocation of one byte is just marvelous). Wink

If he knows API - he kows that allocating 1 byte is actually allocating a page of memory.
