Ollydbg not showing any code of a windows application


i want to disassemble a windows application which is written in microsoft visual c++. When i open it in Ollydbg 110 than it is showing that application is running but there is no code shown there.

I don't understand what is the problem with the application. Can Anybody tell me what is going wrong or am i missing something??

Thanks in advance...


Solution

  • I recommend you to watch Lena's reversing tutorial. It will introduce you to OllyDbg and the basic concepts.

    Basically you can attach to a process or start a process from the debugger. By default, when you attach it should break the application and show you the current state of the application. You might want to take a look at the settings and setup when to break. enter image description here

    The other possibility might be that you are in a different module (like you are watching a loaded rundll or kernel, instead of your core module of your application). To check this go here: enter image description here

    A third option could be that the application is using some kind of anti debugging technique.

    Did you try the newest version of ollydbg?
