The executable files keep getting stripped out of this file. Until we get that fixed, you can download a full zip of Source Search at:
http://sourcesearch2.homestead.com/
Happy Searching!
I've added ZIP capability to Source Search. Now you can just drag and drop any ZIP file into it and magically the file is unzipped and the VB files are scanned. There are also some new popup menus for the project list. ******* Ever worry that the code that you are downloading is malicious? Verify the code before you run it, with Source Search. Just drag an drop your project file onto the form and let Source Search check out the code against a customizable search dictionary. It will also enumerate through your project file to make sure that all referenced components are scanned. I have included a basic dictionary with the project. If anyone can find other terms to add to the dictionary, email me at goodhewc@hotmail.com and I will add your suggestion to the dictionary. Also, send me an email at the same address if you would like to receive dictionary updates by email. Please leave feedback and vote!

Very cool program. I check code downloaded from any site to see what it does before running it anyways but to know someone like yourself is making this easier for others is great. I am going to keep it as a cool utility. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great Project. Since it was done in VB 6 (I'm running VB 5), could you send me a compiled version of the prog? Or send me to a site that I can download it? Thanks. 5 Planets go out to you. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thanks for the project. Unfortunatly, my email client only accepts emails smaller than 2 MB, and anything over tells me it's going to delete them, and does so!!! If you wouldn't mind sending me the project again at: reqtechgeek@yahoo.ca, or targ@klingons.zzn.com. Thanks --- Daniel "ReqtechGeek" Vanderwood (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
The full dictionary is included in Startup Dictionary.sdd, but I will email it to you anyway, just incase something happened. If you have any other definitions that should be included, please let me know. Thanks. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Could you e-mail me a compiled version of Source Search 2.0. I use VB5. You can e-mail me at marklu@myfavoritei.com. Please limit your size to 3.5 MB or use Outlook Express to split the e-mail. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This project won't build for me. It says it is missing VBZip_Control.ocx. I tried building both projects enclosed, no luck. I'm using VB6. When trying to open the zip project, I get (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This project won't build for me. It says it is missing VBZip_Control.ocx. I tried building both projects enclosed, no luck. I'm using VB6. When trying to open the zip project, I get "Unable to set the version compatible component VBZip_Control.ocx. Tried doing a search on this site for this, but nothing turned up. What is wrong? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Could you send me a compiled version of Source Search 2.0. I only have VB5 and VB5 dosen't have the Replace function. Please also compile the control since the Retainted key is set to 1 and VB5 dosen't support that key. Normally the Retainted key is set to 0. Try to limit your size to 3.5 MB if you can. E-mail me Source Search without the source code, but with an .exe file and an .ocx file. You can e-mail me at marklu@myfavoritei.com. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Could you include an option to delete the Retained and DebugStartUpOption Lines from the project file for vb5 users? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I don't understand what sererity means. Could you tell me? Anyway, this is the best thing written in VB that I ever seen. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Mark, this is how much you should worry about the command being implemented. Example: Lots of programs access files, so the OUTPUT keyword is probably being used legit. Not too many people use DELETESETTING so chances are this is a malicious attack on your registry. The severities are really just pulled out of my .... mind .... :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
You've become famous -- every download contains, 'scan code with Minnow's project scanner.'
Anyway, thanks for developing this. It's good to see people developing things like this to help people avoid errors and bugs in their code (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
i use vb4 COULD SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME THE COMPILED VERSION WITH ALL OF THE OCX'S AND OTHER JUNK!!! PLEASE!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
i am also missing the file VBZip_Control.ocx could you please e-mail it to me thank you i will give you 5 globes even tho I cant run it yet coz for PSC to but it on the scan with this 1st it has to be good :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hey Minnow, one problem. You're too good, dude :-). Well, I give you 5 globes on the programs, it sounds really great. I haven't had the chance to download it yet, but I will hopefully get around to it soon. Well, if anyone has time, please visit my site: http://www.syn2k.net/ Well, see ya. Thanks for writing this.
Best reguards, Synthesize (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Excellent app. 5* I am currently writing a Code Libray and this is a must have to integrate with my app. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great program, love it, going to rate it, after this post. I'm going to give you some performance tips, not ment as critism, but purely to make it better:
You test for empty string a lot. You test a string for being empty by comparing it to an empty string. String comparisons are slow, and generating an empty string requires overhead. It's faster if you do something like this: If Len(strSomeString) <> 0 Then.
Then, another one; You use variant Right, Left and mid functions. These are 80% slower when used with strings. It's better to use Right$, Left$ and mid$ functions.
Help! I can't seem to drop any *.vbp or *.zip files onto the SourceSearch form. I'm running VB6 w/ sp5. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
The code looks great, but... Could someone help ? I get an error when compiling that says "User defined type not defined" (on this line)... Private Function UnzipFile(TV As TreeView, lFullFile As String, tProgressBarContainer As PictureBox, tProgressBar As PictureBox, tProgressBarOffset As Integer, tProgressCaption As Label, SD As clsDictionary, LV As ListView, RZip As RichsoftVBZip) As String Would anyone have the compiled version, or know where I could download it ? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
error this an error that, no worries not your fault happens to me alot, i thinking its cause maybe just maybe because i'm using VB6 Learing Edition, what do you think, any suggestions? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hi Great program that you have made here.Not had much chance to have a good look through it,But a good idea for an improvement if it does not do it all ready and have not noticed.Is in the sl list view if you double click it opens the sub/function that the warning is referring to and highlight the line in question. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This is among the most excelent and useful pices of code that I have seen here in a long time. Five Globes from me. - ThankQ (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Hmmm... Well, I found a simple piece of code malcious. Wh ynot inprove this a bit by detecting some order of events. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Dude this is so kewl. I am going to make something like it but way freaking better! I won'r use any of ur source either but i can only do that after i get a few sleeping pills (get it? cheesy...) anyways i rate it 5 awesome and thnx! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great!, Bur there are some functions left to add. It would b great to drag'n'drop a whole folder of projects, and scan them all together. Then the reslt would be showed separately for every folder/project. 5 Globes!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Is it possible to mke this program act in background as a service or something, or that it scans all code that is downloaded from PSC or something. Would also be good to a function so you can right-click a visual basic file in explorer and choose "Scan with Source Search" or similar. Great Work! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Potentially good, but as noted above it won't build (no response). Hence, can't give it more than one planet. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Ummm....so am I missing something - this simply scans for key words right? I ran it through some of my big projects and it simply came up with a load of variable names i.e. Move (which was part of my movement matrice code for a game..). Does it actually take into account the code context? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I use vb5. Can you send me a compiled .exe with everything it needs to run so I can use it for my projects. Thanks! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great piece of code! however, I have VB5, can you send me the compiled copy and all the extras. My email address is punoynks@yahoo.com...Thanks a lot in advance! Happy 4th!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I know that this is old code, but I thought I would try it anyway. Could not get it to work, I went out and got your zip file from homestead, but that did not help either. Could not find control.ocx. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
10/13/2002 6:28:31 AM:
Theres always an error when ever I open VB project which is big or has special types of file, how do I get it working This is what the error log said: Unable to set the version compatible component: C:\SURCE`1\VBzIP\vbzIP_CO ontrol.ocx Is it becasue I need a ocx file?

This is excellent work, but I have one question. What program should I use to scan your files for malicious coding? Thanks! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
12/12/2002 6:02:39 PM:
excellent work. you get 5 from me :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

For those having trouble getting this to work (as I did), download from http://sourcesearch2.homestead.com/ (as suggested in the main description above). Then unzip, making sure the appropriate files go into the VBZip subfolder. Then copy all DLL and OCX files from VBZip to the main folder. Then build the application. I also found that I had to load the two dictionaries using the menu. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
3/12/2003 5:26:26 PM:
I tried using this to scan itself and got an enormous number of apparent violations, many of which appear to be innocuous. It seems that when the code scans for something like "move", it hits every word that contains "move". Wouldn't it be better to look for whole word matches to cut down the list? Or does the dictionary depend on having things work the way they do? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
3/30/2003 10:41:44 AM:
OBSERVATIONS: =============
I note the required DLL files for this project are 98KB and 226KB. I also note they are only available and MUST be downloaded from http://sourcesearch2.homestead.com/ where they could be altered by the author at any time, and without the knowledge of PSC. The author has chosen not to release the source code for these DLLs.
CONCLUSION: =========== It's impossible for me to know everything these pre-compiled DLL files do.
I'm not saying the files are or are not malicious. However, my concern is that I cannot establish a chain of trust by scanning my files while trust of the scanner itself remains questionable.
SUGGESTIONS =========== It would be nice if instructions were provided describing how to alter the source code so as to remove support for compressed zip files and, therefore, remove the requirement for the two DLL files. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I realize your concerns, but please note that these dll's are available on homestead because PSC has some sort of automatic binary removal utility that runs periodically and removes the binaries from the zip file. To get them back up, I must email the zip file back to the PSC moderators, then they have to put the file back on the web for me. I plan on releasing a new version of Souce Search in the next month or two, and these files will be removed. Thank you for your concern. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
5/30/2003 11:22:25 AM:
Umm dont want to alarm anyone, but did anyone else get windows getting extremely glitchy after trying to run the code. Good program in theory, seems to be missing files however. Id love to see it without the dlls in psc. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Very nice. It does however flag a ton of API stuff that is pefectly legit. How about a second dictionary of valid phrases so that lines containing phrases like API "DeleteDC" and "DeleteObject" would be valid but "Delete"(from main dictionary) would not." (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
11/1/2003 9:51:57 PM:
You get 5 million out of 10 for style - hehe
I've downed from the site mentioned in the maintext and I'm going to have a look at the code - just to see how you've put it together.
A suggestion for the zip-part of SS2: how about moving the ZIP-scanner to a plug-in instead of built-in ? I've seen a couple of samples on doing plug-ins but havnt had the time to go through them.
Keep cool ;) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
11/7/2003 12:22:02 PM:
Can you please email the VBZip_Control.ocx. I think the following errors from frmMain.log are being caused by the ocx's absence.
I'm receiving the following errors when trying to run the project: Line 17: Class VBZip_Control.RichsoftVBZip of control RZip was not a loaded control class. Line 20: The property name _ExtentX in RZip is invalid. Line 21: The property name _ExtentY in RZip is invalid.

Tanks a lot.. though some of its findings are false positive but it helps us a lot to easily check each malicious function.. For others ho want to update its dictionary just open the following files with note pad: Dictionary Update 2.0.1.sdd Startup Dictionary.sdd And add the entry you want to be identify following the format inside it.

It would be helpful (and I may add, if I use this) to have a way to cycle through all the microphone options until you get to the one that actually has sound coming in and select that one so you don't get support calls from customers saying "it doesn't work" b/c they selected the wrong mic.

I compiled the ocx first, then, having backed-up the source search VBP I deleted the reference to the ocx then opened that project ignoring errors and then added the ocx via the components and then compiled to exe.
