Hey peeps, if you can be temporarily distracted   , egrabrych already posted (post #8 of this thread) where to find:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188782.aspx
 (same link submix8c just posted)
 

Debug

Code download available at  GDILeaks.exe(13,279 KB)

which contain the executables allright.

 

WHAT is the problem?

 

The original code, originally linked to on the March 2001 article:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301756.aspx

see the wayback machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20081211013508/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301756.aspx

was removed and posted (presumably in an updated form) attached to the new January 2003 article.

 

Or the issue is a "collector approach" to get the (possibly outdated) version that was attached to the March 2001 article? 

 

If this is the case, it can be found here :

https://web.archive.org/web/20010421023355/http://msdn.microsoft.com/code/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/026/002/215/msdncompositedoc.xml

https://web.archive.org/web/20020416170116/http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/03/code/Leaks.exe

 

BUT it contains ONLY the code (SOURCE) and needs to be compiled.

 

More generally the scheme for code attached to MSDN magazine is:

hxxp://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/<two-digit-year>/<month>/code/

like :

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/03/code/*

We were looking for the code in the original article, that's why we couldn't find it. I had already found it in the big monthly package but not the separate download.

Anyway, the code is the same. The executables in my repository were built from it. I also uploaded the code so anyone can check whether there's any difference.

Basically the code may only be useful to someone who wants to try and improve the applications or use portions of it for their own applications.
