Why TCP-Z prompt "Fail to load driver"
Friday, January 2, 2009

Some times, KIS 2009 will block TCP-Z to load driver. You can change the right of TCP-Z in KIS applicaton rules, and allow TCP-Z to load driver.

If can't solved, you can try to use File Patch. File Patch in Windows XP is enable in TCP-Z.
If you want to patch in Vista, you can choose another File Patch.

Thursday, December 18, 2008

Today, I recevied reply from ESET, tcpz-x86d.sys has been removed from virus list of NOD32. NOD32 will not report tcpz-x86d.sys as a rootkit in new database.

TCP-Z is not a rootkit!
It is just a tool for adjust half open connection limited in runtime.

When you update NOD32 to "v.3693 (20081215)", It will report the file tcpz-x86d.sys as virus, which named as "Win32/Rootkit.Agent.NHN".

tcpz-x86d.sys MD5: 0E219B74E2C68A34CA09D8FE114F6D11

This is wrong! My software is not a rootkit!

I will contact ESET to solve.

Although you exit the TCP-Z, the modified values will remain in the kernel memory.
The modified values will remain in effect, until shutdown computer.

This is a temporary modification, restart the system will revert to the initial value.
You need to modify the limit value in each boot.

Virtual Device also patch kernel memory. But it is more automated, takes effect as a File Patch.

It modify limited value automatically without human intervention. Use Device Manager property page to customize the maximum value.

Driver only need to install once, the half-open limit number will be locked as your settings.
The modified values will in effect at each system boot, until you unistall the driver.

Although you update Windows Service Pack, but no need to re-install the driver again.

Install, or Uninstall.
32bit, run the program as administrator: "TCPZ_Setup-x86.exe".
64bit, run the program as administrator: "TCPZ_Setup-x64.exe"


Two version TCP-Z can run an independent, you can choose one of them.

TCP-Z Overview

TCP Window

1) File version.

2) TCP/IP half-open connection limit value, read from the file tcpip.sys in hard disk.

3) TCP/IP half-open connection limit value, read from the kernel memory.

4) Indicating the tcpip.sys whether or not a original file.
"Yes", meaning that the file has not been modified.

5) Count of system event, which ID equal to 4226.

6) Record of peak. Left-click the icon, it will display the highest values and the time of that event.

7) Change the align of real time counter label.

8) Number of established connections.

9) Number of half-open connections.
Half-open connection, it's incomplete outgoing/outbound TCP connection, in SYN-SENT state.

10) Create depth, create rate depth. This value is read from kernel memory of tcpip.sys.
In fact, Windows control this value not exceeds the memory limit(3).
TCP half-open connection limitation is popular statement.

11) Number of incoming/inbound TCP connections, in SYN-RCVD state.
A program open a port to listening. When a remote client trying to connect to this port, will result in this case.

12) Real time number, peak number. xx/yy, xx is real time value, yy is peak/higest value.
Connection graph and speed graph has the same format.

13) Download speed, in Kilobytes/second.

14) Upload speed, in Kilobytes/second.

15) Elapsed time of statistics.
It will be reset to 0 when you change the net adapter in (16).

16) Connection name and the network adapter name.

17) Statistics of download data and upload data.
It will be reset to 0 when you change the net adapter in (16).


* Windows Server 2003 / 2008 / 7 is unlimited. so that Limit value will grayed out.

Statistics Window

1) Reset the counter to 0, and start a new statistics.

2) Total number of upload data in this connection/adapter.
Statistics since the system boot up.

3) Total number of download data in this connection/adapter.
Statistics since the system boot up.

* If your are using BT/e-mule, and the incoming connection attempts is 0. It means the listening port has been blocked by firewall, or your are in the LAN without port mapping/forward.

You will missed more remote clients, resulting in lower download speeds.

Detail Window

1) Command line of the process.

2) Creation time of the process.

3) Physical memory usage of the process, the current working set of the process.

4) Virtual memory usage of the process.

5) I/O Read bytes.
In Task Manager, the number of bytes read in input/output operations generated by a process, including file, network, and device I/Os. I/O Read Bytes directed to CONSOLE (console input object) handles are not counted.

6) I/O Write bytes.
In Task Manager, the number of bytes written in input/output operations generated by a process, including file, network, and device I/Os. I/O Write Bytes directed to CONSOLE (console input object) handles are not counted.

Patch Window

1) Modify limit value in kernel memory.

Although you exit the TCP-Z, the modified values will remain in the kernel memory.
The modified values will remain in effect, until shutdown computer.

This is a temporary modification, restart the system will revert to the initial value.
You need to modify the limit value in each boot.

2) Press this button to apply new limit value.

You can using command line to modify the limit value:
tcpz.exe -limit:200
tcpz.exe -limit:200 -autoexit

3) Direct modify the limit value in file tcpip.sys.

This function only enabled in the Windows XP.
If you want to patch Vista, please try another tool "Universal Tcpip.sys Patch".

* Tcpip.sys of Windows XP have 4 bytes for comparing, the limit can be achieved 0xFFFFFFFF.

* Tcpip.sys of Vista/Windows 7, there are only 1 byte, so the upper limit is 0xFF (255).

Keyboard Control

Switch Tab Ctrl + Tab
Switch Control Tab
Confirm Space
Capture TCP-Z Window to image file F5
Capture full screen to image file F6

Command Line

tcpz.exe -limit:200
tcpz.exe -limit:200 -autoexit
tcpz.exe -minimize

If antivirus software block tcp-z loading driver and cause tcp-z fail to startup, you can bypass driver in command line:
tcpz.exe -nodriver

But, without driver support, it will lost the memory patch feature.

TCP/IP Patcher Compare Technical Features
Tuesday, December 2, 2008

On Internet there are all kinds of TCP/IP half-open Limited Patchers, according to the modified target, can be divided into two types: File Patcher and Memory Patcher.

File Patcher, patch the file Tcpip.sys on harddisk.
This action will break out the digital signature, system will not to boot at normal mode.
You must press key F8 at boot menu, and select 'disable digital signature enforcement'. Otherwise, a BSOD will come to your screen.
You can install ReadyDriver Plus to press F8 automatically.
Another method is sign tcpip.sys with a test signature, then system can boot in test mode normally without press F8. System must enable test mode, otherwise, BSOD comes.

Memory Patcher, patch tcpip.sys in system memory.
This is the best way to patch limited of half-open connection.

It does not direct modify the file tcpip.sys itself, so there is no damage to tcpip.sys.
There is also a advantage of Memory Patch is flexible control and modify the limited value of immediate effect, do not need to restart the computer.

Ordinary File Patcher (Not repair digital signature), the representative: Patcher within Thunder and Bitspirit, VistaTcpipUacPatch, and so on, many fall into this type of patcher.

File Patcher (With Test digital signature), the representative: Universal Tcpip.sys Patch, Half-open limit fix。

Memory Patcher, the representative: UnlimitTcpip，TCP-Z。

In all patchers, the quantity of OS that TCP-Z supports is the most. The chart that TCP-Z provides can be used as reference data for the needing to crack or not, whether or not to modified successfully.

32bits & 64bits, NT5(Windows XP)

32bits, NT6(Windows Vista / Windows 7)

64bits, NT6(Windows Vista / Windows 7)


Note:
X --- It means that does not require the setting.

Command for setup status of TestSigning.
Set to On: bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Set to Off: bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
