How do I execute a *.dll file
dll, windows
Solution
To run the functions in a DLL, first find out what those functions are using any PE (Portable Executable) analysis program (e.g. Dependency Walker). Then use RUNDLL32.EXE with this syntax:
RUNDLL32.EXE <dllname>,<entrypoint> <optional arguments>
dllname is the path and name of your dll file, entrypoint is the function name, and optional arguments are the function arguments
Problem
I have a DLL file and I want to execute it on Windows. I obtained this DLL file from a challenge site which alleges the DLL should be executed independently.
