smallhagrid Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I've started seeing posts about Universal Extractor 2.0.0 - like this one:http://downturk.net/1611919-universal-extractor-2-0-0-portable.htmlOtherwise it seems normal for it to be around v1.7x .Does anyone know if this is for real - or just some clever fake ???Thanks.

pintas Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Very weird.The homepage clearly shows latest version as 1.6.1http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextractI've seen 1.7 version around, but they're unoficial versions. Maybe this is one too.I'm trying the 2.0 version and seems 'real'. It sent me to this page:http://noby.ucoz.ru/I guess these guys are responsible for the change.The original Universal Extractor is made in AutoIt, so its pretty easy to decompile. Its actually a very simple program that uses lots of tools to get the job done. I would say someone decompiled it and added new tools. You can probably still find the source code in AutoIt forums. I for one, also thought about decompiling it to make some changes, but i guess i'm just too lazy :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallhagrid Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 R3C0N made a wonderful update of UE some while back and that is what I have been using - it opens almost anything very well !!!His also was repacked in such a way that it does not irritate my AV the way others (like Gora's...) do.This one immediately brings up the typical AV warning.It extracted to a single file called 'UniExtract.DreamLair.exe'.I extracted that - twice - to get the file structure correct.The main executable gets an AV warning each time it is approached on my PC.Has anyone else tried using this version - and is it harmless on your PC ???Thanks.

smallhagrid Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Pintas - have you compared the two different versions ??Will you tell us here what the differences seem to be ??Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintas Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I haven't. But the main differences are basically in the GUI and the adding of new tools or tool versions.I've been so busy i don't have the time to check out the differences, but for common usage, they're all basically the same.Maybe i can test them later today.

smallhagrid Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks !!It is clear that the 'bin' folder has more files in it which implies more functionality - but because it has been altered by different folks I'm not quite sure what to make of it except that one does not piss off my AV...?

pintas Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Its simply because the exe file was compiled using UPX compression, which is used alot by virus, so AVs detect them as such.See this:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/34658-are-my-autoit-exes-really-infected/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallhagrid Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Understood:Its simply because the exe file was compiled using UPX compression, which is used alot by virus, so AVs detect them as such.See this:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/34658-are-my-autoit-exes-really-infected/At the same time I am reluctant to set an exception for something from such a mysterious source as this v2 came from.So rather than all of that I have been using R3C0N's version - which does not piss off the AV at all.This is also why I am curious as to the differences.The v2 has 83 files @ 15.4MB in it's bin folder - whereas R3C0N's version has 57 files @ 10.8MB .This is a huge difference.Since it the main EXE that pisses off my AV, I renamed it to 'UniExtract.exe.vir' and copied over the UniExtract.exe and English.ini from R3C0N's version - and it opens just fine - but I cannot tell if it uses all the tools present in the bin folder at all...?

unknownasphyxiated Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 i don't think that would be possible because the uniextract.exe need to be updated in order to use new extractorcorrect me if im wrongit does open fine because it doesn't need the "bin" folder to run but to extract,it does need the "bin" folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallhagrid Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Here's what I was thinking...If the EXE is set to use files of the same names which have newer versions using those same names stored in the BIN folder, then it might help...and I've tried it this way vs. R3C0N's version and have yet to see any differences.It was worth a try - at least this way it doesn't bother my AV at all.How ever it is that R3C0N makes up the EXE for his, I wish all the others would do it that way too !!!

unknownasphyxiated Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 of course you can manually update the file..that what Gora had done for his versioni prefer to use Gora's version because i'm too lazy to search for new build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
