It has this neat little way of spoofing the extension. It doesn't just rename the file. Let me try to explain.
Okay, so Imagine [8238] representing a character code that makes any text after it appear reversed. I want the .exe extension to look like a normal .mp4 extension. The program inserts the charcter code, and reverses the mp4 extension text, so that it turns out normal, after being reversed twice.
Code:
C:\Path\To\File.exe => Spoof => C:\Path\To\File[8238]4pm.exe
It now looks like mp4 and exe switched position, and there's the final result.
Code:
C:\Path\To\Fileexe.mp4
Edit: and on top of this, you need to overwrite the original file with the new one, as it is impossible to perform a My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile() with the character code present in the string.
I hope I explained it clearly enough.
