Relocation Section Editor

This product hasn't been added to SaaSHub yet

4. Relocation Section EditorRelocation Section Editor is a type of reverse engineering software aimed at achieving a specific goal rather than unpacking the entire code. Developers use it to edit or remove the relocation table found in executable files, which is a part of that program that directs code to the appropriate place. When patching software or adding new code to the program, it's important to edit the relocation table and direct the code as required. In some instances, the relocation table can be removed entirely so long as you specify this change in the PE header.9
