hi.

I'm a programmer but a beginner in cracking/reverse eng. so do not be hard if i`m naive.

I have a specific target(software consisting of: exe file,  "data" folder and "java" folder with java libraries(so I assume exe is a result of java code)) and I want to acquire specific functionality from it.

I'm not sure if this is useful or not but peexplorer gives additional data:
a. subsystem is win32 GUI
b. dependency scanner shows used dll files:
advapi32
gdi32.dll
kernel32.dll
msvcrt.dll
shell32.dll
user32.dll
c. linker version is 2.56

questions:

1. software is a windows application. i want the code that is executed after i press some button.

can i monitor code execution after such events?
how would you approach such a problem?


2. i found refereces like :
RESOURCE_CLASS=com.xyz.war.opponent.maxOpponent
in text files in data folder.

i think the functionality I want is related to that element. how can i get it?

3. can j++extract or other tool be helpful or am I working pure assembler here?
