Changing strings in Hopper Disassembler

Question

I am currently learning and I wanted to ask, how can I change a text (string) from inside an app I am reversing? For example "To begin, please login". I have found the XREF to the string location but I don't know how to change it. I am using Hopper Disassembler on mac.

Answer 1

You can modify strings or other bytes within the hex editor (⇧⌘H) or click on the hex edit panel.

Then modify whatever you want

You'll need to write a new executable back (⇧⌘E) if you want to save it. Also, be aware that if it is a signed binary, you will need to remove any code signature or resign it as the binary won't match the signature after a change.
