It is as safe as any other patch. A patch changes code in a program. If the patch screws it up (because it patches the wrong address because you are trying to patch a different version than for what the patch was intended, unexpected stuff might happen like crashes).

MessPatch, as well as the other very well known A-patch are tested and used by thousands of people. But this still does not garantuee they are bug free of course. As a matter of fact, certain stuff in those patches have sideeffects and can screw up addons like Messenger Plus!. Patches should always be used at your own risk.

Also, hard-patching (= physically changing program code on disc) is illegal. Note that it is not because everybody does it that it is not illegal. Soft-patching (eg: a script like requested here) is less illegal (if there is such a thing), thus still not totally 100% legal as you still change programming code, you only don't modify the physical files.


Tutorials and detailed explanations related to patching:

What's the difference between disassembling and decompiling?

How do you know what bytes to patch (and other questions):

true... however, one inaccuratie here... they don't change hex values. A hex value is only a means to display a certain byte value. You can also display it as a decimal number, binary number, octal number, ascii character, whatever... Patches change bytes. And those bytes form the code of the program.

Hex values are only a way to represent those bytes and codes.

1) Because a script can be turned on/off on the fly.
2) You don't have the drawback that other features don't work anymore because you patched msgr...
3) etc...
