Autodata Runtime Error 217 - At 00580d29
type PFakeObject = ^TFakeObject; TFakeObject = class procedure CrashMe; virtual; end;
// Windows SEH-based forced exception at 0x00580d29 #include <windows.h> void __declspec(naked) CrashAt00580d29() { __asm { mov eax, 0x00580d29 call eax // jump to invalid code -> exception } }
Compile with cl /LD /GS- crash.cpp — load DLL in target process → triggers error 217 at that address. Many AutoData versions store config in %APPDATA%\AutoData or C:\ProgramData\AutoData . Delete or corrupt these files, then launch: autodata runtime error 217 at 00580d29
// Call virtual method -> corrupt VMT -> runtime error 217 obj.CrashMe; end.
procedure TFakeObject.CrashMe; begin Writeln('This will not be reached'); end; procedure TFakeObject
Compile in and run on Windows → triggers 217. 2. Inject exact address 00580d29 crash If you need to reproduce the exact address, create a DLL or executable with a procedure at that relative offset:
var obj: TFakeObject; p: Pointer; begin // Allocate memory but not as a valid object GetMem(p, SizeOf(TFakeObject)); FillChar(p^, SizeOf(TFakeObject), 0); obj := TFakeObject(p); BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE, DWORD reason, LPVOID) { if
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn REM Then run autodata.exe If so, I can write a standalone .exe that prints that error message and terminates with the same error code for testing or documentation.
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE, DWORD reason, LPVOID) { if (reason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) CrashAt00580d29(); return TRUE; }
