Hello, I’ve built GenP from source and was able to obtain the dependencies (UPX, AutoIt) from official sources for security reasons. The wintrust DLL is a dependency I could not obtain myself.
The file needs to be unmodified and original. I’ve googled the hashes (wintrust.dll - 1b3bf770d4f59ca883391321a21923ae) and could not find mentions of this version. My Windows 11 installation comes with its own version (in System32) but the file size is quite different and it’s obviously a much newer version.
Thanks!
As an additional data point, I’ve also verified this by patching a current Windows 11
wintrust.dll(v10.0.26100.7705- 531KB) using the same script that was originally tested against the providedwintrust.dll(v10.0.19041.630- 374KB).In this case, the patch applied cleanly, the expected byte changes were made, and behaviour was consistent.
This confirms that using a
wintrust.dllfrom a legitimate Windows installation generally works in practice even when versions differ, while the provided DLL remains the known and tested baseline.
