Ground Zero: Thank you for your nice program. Really really got me very confortable to flash my 360 drive.
But I made a mistake and now xbins banned me from the ftp. (I told the program to download the hacked firmware folder, I didn't knew that there was WAY TOO MANY files )

So, there's any way to get unbanned? Thank you in advance.

I'm considering switching over to a Linux distro, and from what I can tell, Auto-xbins is a Windows executable...non-Windows users to access Xbins?

 
I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and this is a no go with Wine, but works perfect with Virtual Box -> XP pro
thanks so much.

Cose its a backdoor, at list that is what my drweb antivirus says  

[Ground Zero]

I assure you that my software is 100% free from viruses, trojans, adware and spyware. To ensure integrity, please only download copies of this software from links posted in this thread by myself, 360Mods.net, xbins.org and the Xbins FTP server.

I code for the fun of coding, not to make money or waste time learning the secrets of people I have never met before via 'backdoors'.

I was considering posting the source code of this application here, so that you could confirm that the code is safe before compiling for use. I came to the conclusion that this may do more harm than good. Malicious users may modify the code and release the infected application onto other websites.

If this issue is of a genuine concern to you, I will be more than happy to hand over the source code to a trusted administrator, who can then confirm that the source code is safe, compile it, then confirm that the source I handed over is the same as the source code I used to compile my release by comparing the MD5 checksum of my released executable to their compiled executable. Please find an administrator willing to co-operate.

The reasons for the backdoor alert are numerous.
Firstly, it may be due to the usage of IRC connections. I know for a fact that even the popular IRC client, mIRC, which has been downloaded over fourteen million times from CNET's download.com is detected by some security suites as a backdoor. The average user does not use IRC for chat anymore, so the anti-virus companies assume that it's being used for backdoor usage.
Secondly, it may be due to the usage of UPX, which compresses the executable to reduce it's file size. Several years ago, almost all anti-virus suites labelled executables packed with UPX as malicious, but since its usage has expanded beyond just compressing trojans in the last five years, no respectable virus-scanner labels it as malicious anymore.
Thirdly, it may be due to the opening of port 113. This port is required to be open to connect to most EFnet IRC servers, mainly to ensure that the computer you are connecting to their server from is yours, and that you are not using proxy servers to evade server bans. This works as most proxy servers don't have port 113 open/identd running.
If you do not feel comfortable with opening port 113 while the application is running, simply do not allow it to open port 113 when your firewall prompts you. Usually, it will not ask you, and port 113 will remain closed. All this means is that connection will take a little while longer, as Easy Xbins goes through it's server list finding an IRC server which allows you to connect without identd running.

If you are still not happy, I recommend you scan the executable file with a few other reputable virus-scanners. As with any other application, check for added startup entries in your registry, and processes running when they shouldn't be. It's best to stay cautious when using Windows.

If you have any more concerns which need addressing, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank You for this. Sooooo Much easier when I need to grab something quick.      

Note : You may need to try it a couple of times to connect,  Works great after that.

As far as the "Virus" detection. It is not uncommon for anti-virus tools to report a "False Positive"  
Personally I would rather have a program tell me it *thinks something is a virus, than miss one that
actually is a virus. I have worked for 6+ years as a Professional Security Consultant.
This software is legit.  Thank You for posting this Ground Zero

I use this all the time and is a fantastic app.....

Awsome...

[robot3]

I use this app all the time but as of last week I am having a hell of a time with it. Firstly I get banned from most servers when connecting. If I do get through to xbins, If I select a few items (lets say 5) what happens is when they go to download they do not download, but instead it goes through the list of items as if it were transferring. Xbins then either disconnects or bans.

Also sometimes when it does find a server it kind of glitches and the "response" command just scrolls down like a million times with nothing happening. I close the app and start again which reminds me of bans or now bans me from servers that it did connect to before.

So can someone please tell me what the hell is going on or if there is any way to rectify this?

[robot3]

and just as fast as all those odd issues occured, is as fast as they disappeared. Everything is working fine again. Kudos!!!

[No1Rated]

Is it just me or is the link no longer working?

Thanks ldotsfan for the mirror and Ground Zero for a great app.

I have the same problem there's no way it connects even after many (20+) attempts.

Can you describe the problem in more detail? Is it possible to copy and paste the last few lines you see here?
What can't it connect to? Nothing is working at all? Are you just banned from the IRC servers, or are you banned from the FTP itself?
