Strings Patcher

Strings Patcher is a tool to patch and replace strings in an already compiled binary (supports Linux ELF and Windows PE).

It's features are the following:

• Replace exact matches.
• Match and replace by substitution.

Patching strings has a limitation: it's impossible to replace a string with one longer than the original one, only shorter!

Beware, modifying random strings in a compiled executable is dangerous and can corrupt it! Please proceed with caution and make backups!
