At my last job, I had to patch a binary for one of our internal .NET applications. The application was hardcoded to connect to a specific database, but we needed it to work with a different one. Since the original developer was unavailable, I disassembled the application, updated the configuration, and then reassembled it.

.net is the very obvious exception to this kind of thing, yes. .net very deliberately makes this kind of tampering quite trivial in comparison
