proxymini detach from cmd window

Is there a way to run proxymini detached from the command prompt so I can close the cmd.exe and still have the proxymini running?

proxymini is a console application so the console you see is already the program.
for making it hidden you must open proxymini.exe with a hex editor and substituiting 03 with 02 at offset 0xdc.
obviously this is an "hack" that works with all the console applications

this is interesting, why have i never heard of this ?
Luigi, which 03 do you mean, the first one or all of them ?

the one that specifies the subsystem, if you are in doubt you can use a tool for the editing of the PE files for modifying it

all these years .. and i havent heard of this.
havent even heard of PE explorer, which i just got.

Luigi what program are you using ? PE explorer or something else, i cant find any ways of changing info in PE explorer. it shows it, but nothing more.
0003h - win32 console
i was assuming it is the first 00 03 in hex, but it isnt.

here I use a modified version of peditor because the original one adds a stupid signature to the modified executable (shame on the author for having done a similar thing)

Luigi, could you please explain how to do this?I opened proxymini.exe with hex editor.Where should I look for that 03 value?
Which offset in hex?

ops I forgot to write the offset in the original post ih ih ih
the offset is 0xdc, I have also corrected the previous post

Ok.I found it.Offset 03DC shows only zeros.Do I have to rename the offset or some of its values.I do not see a way to rename the offset, only its values...

Code:

0ffset 000003DC 00000000000000000000000000

yh it works, so it can be ran as a startup program :)
i never tought about it before, its great for my server machine, so i never have to boot it manually heheh

wow it's really incredible that nobody here knew about this trick of the subsystem 0x03->0x02.
well at least now there is a trace of it on the forum so I'm sure other people would have fun and interest in it

Sethioz · **Posted:** 13 Mar 2011 15:47

i never needed anything like it and i never even tought about it before. its not really even necessary, probably he asked, cuz he wants to fuck over some "friends" :)
however it is better, i just put proxymini.exe shortcut into my startup, so it always runs.
