Is there a way to merge two exe files into one, programmatically, so that running it would execute both older exe files together. I found some things on google about injecting code or dll files but is it possible two merge two exe files or to inject exe into exe? Thanks in advance. [EDIT] Thanks everyone. Just for those who said that it's not possible, I have to say I almost did it in the end in the way some suggested. It almost goes like this (I can't remember all of it cos it was a long time ago): [BEWARE: This algorithm is very similar to those of some worms and viruses. I am not a hacker or a virus writer! and this is to be used only for experimental or unharmful reasons - Making mistakes in the code can ruin the executables in directories.] 1- The Exe checks itself's size to detect whether anything has been appended to itself. if it hasn't then: 1.1- The exe finds other executable files in its directory (lets call one of them as victim!) 1.2- it makes a copy of itself (lets call it newMe) 1.3- it copies the other executable found in the directory to the end of newMe. 1.4- it deletes the other executable file found and renames newMe to its victim's name. 2- If the exe detects that something has been added to it then: 2.1- Then it copies data from itself (from ORIGINAL_FILE_SIZE to the end of file) to a new file (lets call it newBorn.exe) 2.2- It runs itself's code and then executes the newBorn. I said I ALMOST did it cos in this way the exe appends another exe to itself. but this could be repeated for appending and executing 2 or even 3 or more executables into one. you just have to know the ORIGINAL_FILE_SIZE of the written program.
