Your math is broken :-) DLL's are (as you stated) based mod 64k, so
there's only 0x80000000 / 64k - 1 different addresses on which a DLL can
start. That's less than 32k, and your chance is 1 in 32768. On
average, you get a hit after 16384 tries. Oh, btw, this method could
be optimized as you can be pretty sure that large DLL's aren't mapped
closely underneath 0x80000000.
How do you deal with EXE's that have been stripped of relocation
information ? (simple answer, not at all)
Cheers,
Halvar
