Reverse Engineering Asked by lucky thandel on December 30, 2020
I am learning more about binary exploitation on windows. But I saw while revering a binary that you can create static binaries in windows too just like in Linux. It was really ugly. if I would be on Linux, I could just use the file command to know if it is dynamic or static. but now I am in windows and do I have some way to know if the binary is static before reversing it.
Unlike Linux, syscall numbers can and do change between Windows versions, so any program using raw syscalls would not run properly on a different OS release. The only officially supported API is provided by the system DLLs such as kernel32.dll, user32.dll and so on. So while fully static Windows binaries are possible, they are not practical and so are very rare.
