what is ST?

thanks in adv. for helping out a noob !Many here want to help you. Please clarify what you are doing and what tools your are using.
Normally IDA is use to study or DEBUG code written is some source language. Possibly JAVA, Python, C++ or almost any language that can be executed on a PC.

By chance, are you using the Hex-Rays Decompiler ?yeap using the Hex Rays decompiler and working with an unpacked dll for a game running on PCNot to overstep my bounds here but I am sure many would be hesitant to answer your QUESTION as this is a dangerous request you are making and the feeling one gets from your response leans 90% towards unauthorized disassembly/reverse engineering.

Whether for cheating, hacking the serial or whatever reason, reverse engineering any software without authorization is never acceptable and most if not all state as much when you install it.Itrenor,
Thanks for saying that. That is what I was thinking. Also, any dis assembler WORKS better with the source code. The dis dis assembly is used to debug, not to snoop.
