Previous versions ignored -ri and set the priority to low in the presence of -ibck switch.

If -ibck -ri switches are used together, WinRAR process sets the priority specified in -ri switch.

It can be useful if only the archive type or total information is needed.

Switch -idn hides archived names also in 'v' and 'l' commands.

In the past this extended error information was available in WinRAR, but not in SFX archives. Now this message is followed by a detailed reason like access denied or file being used by another process.

For example, previously such archive would display 'Cannot create file' message alone. Where appropriate, SFX archive displays the additional line with detailed error information provided by operating system.We would like to express our gratitude to Igor Sak-Sakovskiy for bringing this issue to our attention. Some other factors are also involved in limiting the practical application of this attack. Such attack is only possible if the intruder has managed to spoof or otherwise control user's DNS records. This is done to prevent a malicious web page from executing existing files on a user's computer. It also implements additional checks within the web notifier. WinRAR uses https instead of http in the web notifier window, home page and themes links.

We are thankful to Jacob Thompson - Mandiant Advantage Labs for reporting this issue. We already prohibited extracting contents of such malformed archives in WinRAR 6.01. It is done to prevent possible attacks with inclusion of ZIP archive into the signature body. ZIP SFX module refuses to process SFX commands stored in archive comment if such comment is resided after beginning of Authenticode digital signature.The program can be used absolutely free of charge for 40 days.ĭownload notes: Alternatively you can download the latest beta version of this software. WinRAR is shareware, meaning you have the chance to thoroughly test it.Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for. WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web.WinRAR allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.

The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition.
