Did you not know it is a Pascal forum?
Did you trying to do some hacking?
Did you not know it is not appropriate to discuss something illegal in this forum?

Calm down. Changing the icon of an executable is not a crime.
You can do it with any command line tool. Its useful when you have to customize a binary, say for example Electron, that comes with his own icon and you need to change it when distributing your app.

If it is not written in Lazarus/Freepascal, then it is off-topic.

Why off-topic? He's asking how to build an icon-changer in Pascal, like Resource Hacker (a Delphi app) can do (IIRC). The "not source, not in Pascal" is, essentially, just his target "data".

I am not a student of criminology but I what know is if someone change the icon of my program without my permission, I won't happy.
