RMTers discuss P1999 dsetup.dll "includes some NSA-level intrusive scans on your PC"

Why do any of you idiots think you need to inject code into the web browser to look at your browsing habit when you can for example just open the sqlite database that is nicely stored for you by your browser?

Stop sperging

Because most of the people in here are havin' a giggl pretending to be smart.

Here let me spell it out for you: They actually don't back you up. In fact the second link goes directly against what you said. Therefore, you can't fucking read.

Since you are so incapable I will extract the relevant information out of the link in a last ditch attempt to smash it into your dense skull.

Both files are PE files. Both contain the exact same layout. A DLL is a library and therefore can not be executed. If you try to run it you'll get an error about a missing entry point. An EXE is a program that can be executed. It has an entry point. A flag inside the PE header indicates which file type it is (irrelevant of file extension). The PE header has a field where the entry point for the program resides. In DLLs it isn't used (or at least not as an entry point).

One minor difference is that in most cases DLLs have an export section where symbols are exported. EXEs should never have an export section since they aren't libraries but nothing prevents that from happening. The Win32 loader doesn't care either way.

Other than that they are identical. So, in summary, EXEs are executable programs while DLLs are libraries loaded into a process and contain some sort of useful functionality like security, database access or something.

I was saying that if your DLL is loaded and its DLL main function is called, it's functionally equivalent to an executable. QED, no more room for arguing, shut the fuck up, go home. If you can't make the connection at this point you are either full-blown retard or had no idea what you were talking about to start with.

Or here is another way, look at the DNS cache.

Regardless of how it does it, the process running EQ would still need access privileges that it doesn't have in order to access this kind of information.

FINALLY.

I've been waiting for this.

And I quote:

The only difference between an executable and a DLL is that an executable contains an entry point. If a DLL is having its DLL main executed then it is, for all practical purposes, an executable. Did you know you can load an executable as a DLL as well?

Did you know you fucking can't? C# and Python are both programming languages that work and compile by entirely different methods. But yeah other than that they're completely identical :v.

Sound dumb? It should.

There is no bit of information in your links or in ANY of your posts that implies you can do that. That an .exe and a .dll have functional similarities is irrelevant. Next you'll you tell me I can run programs by clicking on a .dll file.

From your second link:

EXE:

It's a executable file
When loading an executable, no export is called, but only the module entry point.
When a system launches new executable, a new process is created
The entry thread is called in context of main thread of that process.
DLL:

It's a Dynamic Link Library
There are multiple exported symbols.
The system loads a DLL into the context of an existing process.

Again, similarities are irrelevant here. They both have their uses and functions, and a .dll can't be used for malicious purposes without causing your AV programs to go ballistic.

So for the context of this thread, you're not only full of shit, but just flinging around your vague understanding of file extensions and what they mean in an attempt to save face. I leave you to double back over your sources to figure out why. QED indeed you actual moron.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about, it doesn't need any special access privileges. It will have the same permissions as the user who started it. Guess what, you have the permission to access that file.
