Dexter71 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi i am recently going through an employment tribunal and part of the evidence that could proove my innocence was on an excel fileon the works computer. When it turned up it was corrupted now i managed to open the file by using a program called ExcelFIX which was fantastic as now i can proove my innocence. I have got to perform this in front of the tribunal. What i would like to know is could someone tell me how to corrupt an excel file so i can also replicate this with a warning that the file is corrupted so i can show the tribunal how this could be done so long as the warning has corrupted in it. This would be very useful as this would show that i can fix a corrupted file and also show an example of how easy a file can be corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Open the excel file in any hex editor and replace some random bytes, expecially those that do not correspond to "readable" characters.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
