Topic created on: May 12, 2010 15:35 CDT by echelon .

I was unpacking UPX with Olly and searched for POPAD instruction with ctrl+f. There is two POPADs in the code and I get different result depending on whether I check the "search entire block" or not. It seems that to find the correct POPAD after which the program jumps to OEP one must leave "search entire block" unchecked. What is actually the logig behind "search entire block", how does Olly perform search with different options?

If you check "search entire block" you will get the result all over the block. If you don't check it you will get the result under the current line selection.

To get the same result as with this checkbox checked you may do the following:
"right mouse click -> search for -> all commands"
