I'm currently looking at an 16bit DOS exe that right at the beginning rewrites part of its code and stack segment what prevents static analysis of the executable. I've been wondering if there are ways to adjust the analyser in let's say IDA to make up for that. Like doing a memdump and setting the segments manually at the start of the analyser?

[14:35] for context: compressed .exes are normal .exes that uncompressed themselves at run-time, so they have a regular header and entry point [14:36] but if those tools don't recognize it, it's likely something else [14:38] one other approach is running it in dosbox until the rewriting is done, and then dumping memory [14:39] I don't have any experience with compressed executables so I'm not sure what to look out for. I expected it to be an anti-RE measure to prevent static analysis but don't know how common that was back then.
