  • VbAsyncSocket

    Sockets with pure VB6 impl of TLS encryption

    • Project mention: Modern TLS/SSL on 16-bit Windows | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-26

    I wonder if it is possible to make https://github.com/wqweto/VbAsyncSocket compile on Visual Basic 4, then you could target 16 bit.

  • HelloWorldDriver

    twinBASIC Kernel mode driver demo

    • Project mention: A TLS 1.3 Stack Written in Visual Basic 6 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-09

    The most impressive 'pushed beyond it's limits' code I've seen is The trick's VB6 kernel mode driver. Yep, really. VB6. Kernel mode. You have to strip out the MSVBVM60.dll dependency, which dramatically limits what language features you can use, but it's possible, albeit for 32bit Windows only, of course.

    https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?788179-VB6-Kernel-mo...

    Inspired by that, I made a similar 'hello world' type kernel mode driver and in addition to the VB6 version, made a twinBASIC version, which can compile to x64 and run on current Windows. twinBASIC has no runtime dependency, so you can use far more of the language features, supports cdecl for calling dbgprint, and it has native support for putting APIs into the IAT so no TLB dependency and overriding the entry point so no special hack for that.

    I'm not nearly as brilliant as The trick or wqweto to figure these things out to begin with, but it's so much fun taking the techniques of these legends and running with them. Although I did claim the title of first to create a realtime kernel ETW event tracer, a notoriously unfriendly API that requires multithreading (possible in VB6 thanks to The trick et al, natively supported in tB via API for now, language syntax soon).

  • ZoneStripper

    Removes the Zone.Identifier alternate data stream that identifies files as 'from the internet'

    • Project mention: Help with error | /r/visualbasic | 2023-05-05

    I've got an open source utility to remove them in bulk. Helpful if you downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and need to remove it for all of them.

NOTE: The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars. The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or since we started tracking (Dec 2020).
