Analysis and modification of closed-source programs for Windows

Sodoben tempo razvoja programske opreme narekuje, da imajo razvijalci čedalje manj časa za analizo učinkovitosti in optimizacijo razvite programske opreme. Posledično se ta problem nemalokrat prenese na pleča uporabniške skupnosti, ki pogosto nima dostopa do izvorne kode. Reševanje tega problema zahteva znanje s področja obratnega inženiringa in uporabo posebne programske opreme. V diplomski nalogi predstavimo omenjeno področje in razvijemo programsko opremo za analizo učinkovitosti in preoblikovanje (zaprto-kodne) programske opreme. Podrobno opišemo postopek analize in preoblikovanje ter tehnike, ki so potrebne za razvoj takšne programske opreme.The modern pace of software development dictates that developers have less and less time to analyse the effectiveness and optimization of developed software. As a result, this problem is often passed on to the user community, which often does not have access to the source code. Solving this problem requires knowledge of reverse engineering and the use of special software. In the diploma thesis we present the mentioned field and develop software for efficiency analysis and transformation of (closed-source) software. We describe in detail the process of analysis and redesign and the techniques required to develop such software
