Another Sri Lankan Wonder - xAurora Web Browser

[zeeta]

thnks wil c

really appreciate it...

thanks v. much

 

[Sudantha_s]

thanx ....

actually... it won't need to be IE or FFX or any other known web browser...

i know u ppl using those browsers for long time... even my self too..

But it wrote purely using win 32 assember.. so runs @ the kernel level...

so... "fast"... yeah really fast...

it worth of trying because its first Sri Lankan web browser ever..

It does not wanna compete with all the other web browsers..

just to have a fair chance...

May be it useless... so you better ask from Microsoft Inc why they'v accept "xAurora" as the default browser

for Windows 7...

just give'em a fair chance....

I also belive this browser is bull shit. And it is very unproffesional for a guy with PHD to this kind of work.

meka attada?

But it wrote purely using win 32 assember.. so runs @ the kernel level...

Which components are written in Assembly for this browser?

Writting code in assembly dose not mean that it runs @ kernel level. And writting in assembly does not garantee that it is the fastest code to run on particular machine.

aniwaaa... thanx very much....

lagadima api open development team ekak daannai inne...
skins, plugins...etc...

so everybody will be invited

Welcome to Maxthon development!!!!

Since SDK published with xAurora is from Maxthon brower all your developments are for them too.

Also the bright side is there are many many skins and plugins for Maxthon, so they will also work on xAurora.

 

[Account]

This is a reverse engineered version of Maxthon browser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxthon).

This is how he has created xAurora

(1)Disassemble Maxthon.exe and get the Dissassembly listing. (Since some versions are packed using UPX you may need an unpacker too).

- Thats why he claims written in Assembly

(2) Do string modifications ie. replace Maxthon with xAurora, MyIE2 with MyWEB etc.. and change refereance to Maxthon DLL to xAurora.dll

-See all these word pairs are of same length. People who knows revers engineering knows why it is -

(3)Assemble it again with MS Macro Assembler

-This is where Dr Sameera should be admired. Since most disassembled code cannot be assembled straight away.

(4)Use anti debugging tools to encrpt the generated file. And use PECompact 2.x to pack it

-This is why normal debuggers cannot debug it

(5)Edit the License text wile much like step 2

-No comments

(6)Now get HEX editor and Edit strings in Maxthon DLL (same as step 2). ANd rename it to xAurora.dll

-Shame

(7)Bundle every thing and publish.

(8)Get Maxthon SDK and give it away as xAurora SDK

(9)Make different versions with already developed Maxthon skins and plugins.

(10) Finally try to fool ICTA and get some funding for hacking


I dont see much difference between Sakvithi Sir and Dr(?) Sameera.


Skavithi - Fooled Mr Edvin and steal mony from people promising high ROI.

Sameera - Trying to Fool ICTA and get government funding (ie steal money from people) promising hacked browser.


Shame on Sri Lankan IT Professionals....


More to this

Maxthon developers have partnered with Microsoft in 2006 ( "In January 2006, Maxthon developers partnered with Microsoft in its booth at the Consumer Electronics Show." - Wikipedia), So Dr(?) Sameera thinks that MS will take on Maxthon and when people see it on futer Windows version he can fool local community to think that his browser has got absorbed to windows.

-Nice Dream
