Ending the limit 10 connections in Windows XP SP2

That you have Windows XP SP2 does not know it, but SP2 has implemented a safety limit in Windows XP 10 The request number of simultaneous connections opening. Who does not know this limit, feels no lack of having more than 10, but for some, it is essential.

First, because Micro $ oft has implemented this?

Viruses and worms now spread through the micros that infect, opening several simultaneous connections to random IP addresses, looking for security holes that can be used to infect the machine. As they open several simultaneous connections and many of them are failed connections, not to find the IP address, Micro $ oft decided to limit these simultaneous connections to slow the spread of these harmful.

Too cool it, but it hinders my P2P program (eMule, Shareaza, Kazaa)… :( These types of programs, when they need to get the source files from the download list, try to open multiple simultaneous connections to streamline research, but then-enters the WinXP and limits on 10! :(

A question to clarify: Windows XP SP2 keeps active over 10 simultaneous connections, so do you use MSN, Mozilla, Firefox, Internet Explorer, DAP, and other 20 programs at once, but these connections are active and do not attempt to open connection. Understood!? :)

Below is the description of the Micro $ oft why she implemented this security:

Limited number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts

See the Microsoft website

Detailed description

The TCP/IP stack now limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts. After the limit has been reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved at a fixed rate. Under normal operation, when applications are connecting to available hosts at valid IP addresses, no connection rate-limiting will occur. When it does occur, a new event, with ID 4226, appears in the system`s event log.

Why is this change important? What threats does it help mitigate?

This change helps to limit the speed at which malicious programs, such as viruses and worms, spread to uninfected computers. Malicious programs often attempt to reach uninfected computers by opening simultaneous connections to random IP addresses. Most of these random addresses result in a failed connection, so a burst of such activity on a computer is a signal that it may have been infected by a malicious program.

What works differently?

This change may cause certain security tools, such as port scanners, to run more slowly.

How do I resolve these issues?

Stop the application that is responsible for the failing connection attempts.

This was all to explain the problem, nay, the Micro $ oft solution to the problem of viruses. Had to explain, information is as baseless rumor and not want to generate any more! :)

Now to what matters!

A person with advanced knowledge in information (hacker) generated a patch (crack) to end this limit. This patch works on the file TCPIP.SYS opening limit 50 attempts to open simultaneous connections. This is already very good for my P2P! ;)

The operation is very simple. Just extract the files, that are compressed, and run the application. It detects where the TCPIP.SYS and asks if you really want to patch. He is intelligent and backs up the file before making any changes.

Ok ok ok. This solution is provided by third parties and many people are afraid of these things apply, but I ran on my machine and have not had any problems. Already downloaded was something in my P2P!!!! :)

Hope that helps a lot of people there-…

There, Fabricio, that was what I was talking.
Hug!
