  1. You can pack perl programing into an executable file using 7zip Software! And without re-compiling executable use the 7zip File Manager to edit exe file format! :cool:

    @puff-m-d Thanks a lot !

    Could someone ask the developer to publish SHA-256 for 7-zip installers?

    Sourceforge is providing checksums (MD5 :cautious: + SHA1), but the latest version is not yet available on Sourceforge.
    Example:

    Exactly that's my point. He releases a new version but hashes are missing, usually. He publishes them hours or days afterwards, no good.

    At the time I asked up there I didn't know how to contact him.
    Now I joined sourceforge and post a comment. Lets wait and see.

    this new version is not signed, the certificate is not signed, is normal?

    Yes, this is normal. The installer and the executables are not digitally signed.

    I don't understand the fascination with security around 7-zip, really don't.

    I keep version 16.04 x64 in a desktop folder with various other unorganized goodies and frankly use it only to extract 7z files mostly.

    If it bit the dust 2 years ago I would still use it for just that purpose. WinRAR is onboard for their extensions and some others rarely used but 7-zip is been ok. Security is really not an issue with a belly full of everything else to catch anything that might be hazardous which I yet to found in ages actually with 7z files.

    BUT, since a version 18 is up think i'll bring it onboard anyway. Thank You for the link and other opinions replied to about this ole hat archiver.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Ok is this BS theoretical or would I run into this? And if not 7zip, what then?

    I've used 7zip so long that when I used to send people files I'd 7z them. They'd be ****** because their weak winzip wouldn't work. I'd lmao.

    For what it's worth, 7-Zip runs extremely well with Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) mitigation enabled in WDEG.

    It also runs very well with all the mitigations in EMET 5.x on win7/8.
