Algorithms
In this book, youÆll find all the information you need to build your own algorithms.
An algorithm is used from Hackman to decode or filter the source code. Examples may be
found in the \plugins folder.
An algorithm file is an ASCII file with the .alg extension. The first four records
are the following:
- Name of the algorithm
- Name of the algorithm's author
- Algorithm's version
- Extended description of the algorithm
To import an algorithm select Configurations
| Optimizations | Import and to see it just select Complex algorithm from
the tuning submenu under the Configurations menu. Next, you have to supply
256 records indicating the ASCII code that should be reported for each
of the 0 to 255 different ASCII symbols. Next, all other records are considered
to be comments.
You can read this example of the XOR algorithm
or the Numbers Only algorithm (by Zortran).
Note: There is an add-in tool for Hackman, called
Algorithm Editor and is available when you
install the SDK.
