Seriously???????? I'd really like to hear an explanation for this!!!

stephenfewer commented 9 years ago

continue.exe (SHA1: 3588345B1C76580422C8772C6A16660BAAD31C01) is not a virus. It triggers 2/55 on virustotal [0] probably due to some generic heuristic matching. If you are still concerned you can build it from source and bin diff the two files :)

ok what the hell is this then?

adrian-rt commented 9 years ago

it made me very paranoid.

stephenfewer commented 9 years ago

Fair enough, The source code is in the tree so you can build your own copy to avoid any doubt.

adrian-rt commented 9 years ago

cheers mate! All good now, I became angry when I googled it and a few guys were talking about the continue.exe virus online! Thanks!

stephenfewer commented 9 years ago

No problem, always good to double check these things! :)

adrian-rt commented 9 years ago

Amen!;)....oh,yeah, one more thing, can we do something to make this work on win XP?

stephenfewer commented 9 years ago

It shouldn't be too much work but I do not have the time unfortunately to bring support to older platforms.

adrian-rt commented 9 years ago

ok, well can you give me some ideas? I got 0 experience with WIN API.

stephenfewer commented 9 years ago

Well ./node/source/continue/main.c is pretty simple so any win32 compiler toolchain should be able to compile it. I would either download an old version of MSVC Express or grab something like MinGW and build continue.exe, you should not have to edit the source code.

There is no guarantee the Ruby side will perform as expected on XP so you may hit issues there. Grinder was never tested at any stage on XP, only Win7 and up.

i've managed to compile that with mingw. I could send it to you if you're interested. Also you say in the docs that ruby 1.9 is supported but you can't fuzz 64 bit targets with it.......why?

Thanks.
