Resource Hacker is an open source Windows development tool written in C++. It is a reverse engineering tool for Windows that inspects, modifies, and recompiles program code. Reverse engineering tools can be used to detect security holes in an application and fix them relatively easily. This makes Resource Hacker a great software for Windows programmers and newbies who would like to learn how to program from the very beginning without worrying about too many technical details. However, if you have basic programming experience, you will be happy to know that this tool is very easy to understand and you can get started with it in just a few minutes.

Resource Hacker was created by Angus McAfee, a professional computer engineer. His goal was to create a resource programmer who could also be a decompiler. He achieved his goal with Resource Hacker as it is a simple tool that allows Windows programmers to easily modify and extend the functionality of Windows and compile any DLL or executable file.

One example of a tool very similar to Resource Hacker is Dump Fix. However, unlike Resource Hacker, Dump Fix does not modify binary resources, but simply replaces the file specified by WinMD. Another example of such a utility is Freeze Burn, which was also created by Angus McAfee. This utility records a copy of your PC screen into an image file, saving the image to disk. This can be useful if you want to restore a desktop or other system that you want to keep, and it’s a great method for backing up your data so you can always restore it to a previous date.
