This is very fascinating to me. I don't see how, with EFILive, you guys reverse engineer this stuff. I'm about to benefit from the 2nd .cax file on my 411 swap and I didn't realize users were unlocking things of this nature. My only programming knowledge involves some basic Java stuff, so don't know how quickly I'd take to it, but it's still a very cool concept to me nonetheless.

It involves disassembling the binary and looking for specific patterns (tables) and noting their address and figuring out their type/size...

of course, the disassembled code gives various hints.

You can also get adresses/types/sizes from other software packages like TunerPro (whether they are correct or incorrect).

Tunerpro. The advanced tools 2d & 3d viewer are used to find patterns. You need to find tune files in .bin format though to go through them.
