Sure: You fire up the windows version of REBOL and:
write/binary %hacked-rebol.exe head change
find read/binary %rebol.exe
"Script requests permission to"
"Hey kids! Get off the phone!!"
(There's more text on the message that you can change, if
you want to add expletives and stuff.. but of course, be
sure to only overwrite the text that's there. Don't change
the length of the text.)
Then you start up your hacked version of REBOL, (W/O
modifying the default security) and you run this following:
REBOL [] wait reduce [open tcp://:9911] secure none
Then, when you send something to port 9911, the message box
with your message will pop up.
What a hack... :-)
Of course, this letter in no way implies that REBOL
Technologies encourages people to arbitrarily hack REBOL!
Be kind to the old rebol binary...
