None of those items will do any good
 

If someone has written in a "security hole" none of the items mentioned above will track or detect it. Granted, a *known* virus will get detected. A firewall will track traffic from xolox.. but who can tell what that traffic is reading.. or copying, or scanning.

It's probably just me being paranoid... but when my HD starts to click.. and I'm not running anything to read it (other than xolox), I always wonder.

How hard would it be to put in a back-door for a malicious user? My guess is that it would not be a radical change to allow this sort of thing.

"It's not paranoia.. if they're really after you."

yeah, i knew that it wasnt 100% fool proof, but it made me feel better. so it didnt bother me to use it. and i would have gotten rid of it if it screwed with my computer. and i need to reformat and start over anyway.... thanks moak

np. :)

PS: Ultraedit is a fine HEXedit :)

No Backdoor
 

Believe me, there's no backdoor in my release.
I also checked the original 1.13 source and found nothing of interest.

1.13 is da bomb
 

i think you did a real nice job on it DON, been running GREAT here since dec 2.
Forget the hacks, this one is good. xolox113.zip thanks DONnerkofp for keeping the torch burnning.

Anything new worth mentioning in the 1.13 unofficial version?

well there seems to be 2 xolox113.zip files going around one is a cracked v1.12 exe file that you must copy over your working xolox.exe, and the other one http://all2all.virtualave.net/p2p/xolox113us.zip is the full installer. it shows as v1.13 on the splash screen, GUI and about menu. and at least on my computer, seems to use less memory. DON?

patch worries
 

as a pger, i know the tedious task that was involved here... they wanted it to work, to make a backdoor would be adding functionality which would require source... i imagine they just removed the limitations of the last xolox update... however, you are right in your assumption, it is of course possible, but IMHO improbable. peace.

Memory.. No, but less CPU because I NOPped a timer.
(they used different timers for their checks).
