The only reason to hide the version number is probably to prevent those AVs from suddenly stop working, as it was with Malwarebytes 1.75. It was all happy days, but once it gained enough attention, they pulled the plug... Sounds silly, but it's very possible. Of course, old Kaspersky versions might be still receiving updates due to it's popularity in it's motherland and much bigger use of old version of Windows.

BTW, I wanted to write about VirusTotal in my thread "Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP working in 2023 and hopefully beyond" soon anyway. I'll give your mod due consideration there as well.

Thanks for your mod! I have never used this programme before. Thus, I have just installed it. What I don't like is to be forced to enter an API key at programme start (Winja doesn't do that) , but displaying the results directly in the programme without having to open the browser is great . Thanks again for restoring XP-compatibility!

Here are the important lines (3579 - 3605) from the tun.c file inside the source code of OpenVPN v2.3.18: static const IP_INTERFACE_INFO * get_interface_info_list (struct gc_arena *gc) { ULONG size = 0; IP_INTERFACE_INFO *ii = NULL; DWORD status; if ((status = GetInterfaceInfo (NULL, &size)) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) { msg (M_INFO, "GetInterfaceInfo #1 failed (status=%u) : %s", (unsigned int)status, strerror_win32 (status, gc)); } else { ii = (PIP_INTERFACE_INFO) gc_malloc (size, false, gc); if ((status = GetInterfaceInfo (ii, &size)) == NO_ERROR) return ii; else { msg (M_INFO, "GetInterfaceInfo #2 failed (status=%u) : %s", (unsigned int)status, strerror_win32 (status, gc)); } } return ii; } I assume the mentioned bug won't appear there. When using this OpenVPN version, you can check the connection logs and then you will see whether there is such a bug or not.

Look at its source code, and you will definitely know!

I will at least write a compilation tutorial in Windows and for Windows What you need: - Windows 10/11 (before 10 20H1 additional steps with SDK required) - Visual Studio 2022 (can be free Community), git and Python (minimum 3.9.0) Run the Visual Studio installer from CMD with the following arguments. PATH_TO_INSTALLER\VisualStudioSetup.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATLMFC --includeRecommended. Then install the Windows 11 SDK in the latest available version. Install git and python. In Git Bash, configure: git config --global user.name "My Name" (optional) git config --global user.email "my-name@chromium.org" (optional) git config --global core.autocrlf false git config --global core.filemode false git config --global core.preloadindex true git config --global core.fscache true git config --global branch.autosetuprebase always git config --global core.longpaths true Now we will take care of downloading depot_tools. In my example, you first need to create a src folder in C:/. Then in the CMD: cd C:\src git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git Next add the environment variables: DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 vs2022_install=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Community (or other edition) NINJA_SUMMARIZE_BUILD=1 Edit the "Path" variable with path to depot_tools (eg. C:\src\depot_tools) and move it up before any Python installation. Next simply run the gclient command in CMD, it will download the basic components needed. In the folder where depot_tools is located, create a directory, for example, named chromium. Go to it in the console and run the command "gclient sync" if you want to download the latest version, or gclient sync --revision src@xxx.x.xxxx.xx (the version number you need). Use --no-history parameter at the end of command, downloading entire history, including branches and tags is about 50GB, I think it's not worth it. Now we are ready to compile. Go to the src folder inside the folder we named chromium earlier in the CMD, and run gn args out/default (you can name it whatever you want). This will open your default notepad, where you can set all the arguments. If compiling under Windows, I recommend using at least the following: is_official_build = true is_component_build = false is_debug = false target_os = "win" target_cpu = "" (x64, x86) clang_use_chrome_plugins = false (if compiling build with e3kskoy7wqk patches only) symbol_level = 0 v8_symbol_level = 0 blink_symbol_level = 0 proprietary_codecs = true ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome" chrome_pgo_phase = 0 You can also add arguments about Google API keys or widevine google_api_key = " " google_default_client_id = " " google_default_client_secret = " " enable_widevine = true ignore_missing_widevine_signing_cert = true enable_media_drm_storage = true Save the args.gn file and close notepad, gn will generate the necessary files. Now just use the autoninja -C out/Default (you can also add the parameter "-j X", where X is the number of clang compiler processes)

After 10 hours of compilation, I received errors. Then I would face another 10 hours, and in the meantime more errors would appear. Not for my patience, I pity the money for more powerful hardware, as long as I can't compile without errors, and I'm not able to do that at the moment at this compilation rate. I apologize to the users I disappointed, apparently I'm not smart enough after all and despite following the instructions I keep doing something wrong all the time

Nicely put ! May I steal it ? I mean, copy/paste .

These that are being discussed here used by forensics . Deleting them "after the browser is closed" is pretty much useless.

WinNTSetup - a simple but powerful universal Windows Installer Features: Install (unattend) Windows 2k/XP/20??/Vista/7/8.x/10/11 x86/x64/arm64 Practically runs even on the most minimalistic WinPE selectable drive letter for the new Windows installation Fully automated with save/load setting in ini file and various command line options Install Windows also if nlite/vlite has remove winnt32.exe/setup.exe Integrate Drivers: normal PNP and Textmode Drivers Patch uxtheme to allow unsigned Themes Some common registry tweaks and *.reg file import DISM APPX removal, feature enable/disable Simple VHD creation and Installation Support "Windows to Go" for Windows 7 and later installs Supports WimBoot and CompactOS option for Windows 7 and later Supports all current WIM files: WIM/SWM/ESD and ISO files WinCapture - capture a Windows installation to WIM or ESD file MinWin - simple trimming WIM in memory before apply WinCopy - copy an existing Windows installation to another partition Offline Hotfix uninstall Offline password reset Not Supported: - No Windows embedded version (this includes WinFLP) - No upgrades of existing installations About driver installation: Every driver added in NT6.x windows will be added to the driver store. So it's not recommended to add countless driver, but rather more really required ones. NT5.x massstorage driver integration is possible thanks to Mr dUSHA powerful MSSTMake.exe tool To the Unattend option: It's possible to use an unattend.xml to run the Setup unattended. But as the actual WinPE Setup Phase isn't effective in that way of install, all Winpe related settings inside the unattend.xml won't be applied. Ini config file It's possible to save all GUI-settings to a ini file: push Ctrl + S to save all settings to an ini. push Ctrl + L to load all settings from an ini. A WinNTSetup.ini file in the same dir as the app itself will be loaded automatically at startup. It also can be selected via command line: WinNTSetup.exe /cfg:"C:\mysettings.ini" If you want to modify ini settings yourself, click-click has made a nice PDF for it. For advanced users there are also hidden settings described in the included WinNTSetup.ini.txt Command line: - Press F1 to get list of all options To install Windows in a VHD file: - requires Windows 7 as OS and Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise or Server 2008 R2 as Source - create a partitioned VHD and assign a drive letter (push Ctrl + Shift + V to use build in diskpart wrapper for this) - select the VHD drive as installation drive (make sure you boot drive ist a active primary partition on a physical disk) If you get an Antivirus warning from your AV software, please report it to them as a false positive and let them check it.

I, for one, instead of having pointless arguments on the forums, came to how to avoid compilation errors that appear (which may not be there in your case, from what I learned on the Chromium forums, the problem can occur randomly depending on a great many factors) For start, autoninja -C out/chromium135r72 ..\..\chrome\windows_services\elevated_tracing_service\elevated_tracing_service.cc^^ When the error occurs, you will see the name of the directory in the system %TEMP%, e.g. tmpxxlxwh5i, and the destination path where you should paste the files contained in it. Then autoninja -C out\chromium135r72 ..\..\chrome\updater\app\app_server_win.cc^^ and repeat the previous step, except that now the directories in the temp folder will be three. This way I will be able to compile uninterrupted while I am sleeping or not at home. Edit: I forgot, after copying the files you need to run the command again to complete the compilation of the module. “chromium135r72” should be replaced with the name which you selected in the gn args out command

This is my personal lowest priority, but from what I've gathered, it won't be difficult.

I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid, but the compiler kept telling me what to do with them. There were two errors, regarding elevation service and updater legacy. In both cases, the compiler components created corrected files in temporary files, which had to be copied to src\third_party\win_build_output.... I was doing this correctly all the time with elevation service, but for some reason not with updater legacy, which I copied to out\Default\gen\... ninja has the ability to compile individual objects, it seems that I will have to compile those problematic elements first and paste the fix generated by it even before I start compiling the whole. I'm currently finishing compiling already I can't even remember which version (it's been compiling since 3 pm on Sunday, and it's 8 am on Monday) I have 2000 objects left, which will take maybe half an hour. I purchased slightly better hardware (Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB of DDR4 RAM) to make the compilation time significantly shorter, should be at my place tomorrow. Edit: YES!!!!!! I GOT IT! However, this is built with the parameters is_debug = true and is_component_build = true, because the number of objects was only 53,000 instead of 87,000. I will build the version with the parameter is_official_build = true after I assemble and configure the new computer.

In your quoted link, there is provided an explanation and a solution in terms of this bug. Here is a quote from this topic: When looking into the download package, this bug fix seems to have already been implemented. Your question about Windows Server 2003 has been answered there, too.

Yep , a dragon . Eats plenty of vegetables , fruits , boiled chickens , naughty neighbours , drinks lots of fresh water . Absolutely cool with cats , he uses cats as warm pillows , allows them to walk around absolutely free . (those aren't my cats , those are of my friends, I don't have cats , but had them in the past , before the Iguana , which is 17 years old , BTW ! ) . Hates dogs , attacks them . Brutally . I think all iguanas hate dogs .

For some of you that didn't know , I have a huge Iguana , and what pets do you have/had in the past ?
