    I turned off my router and tested. Every Nexus2 and Nexus3 preset I tried worked. Did you install the expansions using the provided ~160gb file or somehow else?

    When I turned off the router, I had DAW and Nexus3 running. Then I restarted them both and they still worked. BTW, this file called "autobk.inc" (and mntemp too) got created right after I turned off the router.

    Apparently the Baidu link got updated last night. Did they just add Mac installer or what? Someone is also speaking about 180gb worth of expansion in the chinese forum, don't know what's that all about.

    Well that what AN provides anyways : a v3.3.9.MacOSX
    It might be fun to test it with Little Snitch.

    Edit: in the meatime, Hidera did post it on the sister site.

    They also provide a Torrent with the full content for information.

    directions from the file folder names :bow:

    1 The sound library is placed in the "application" directory, and the name is changed to: NEXUS library
    2 Move the plug-in inside to the corresponding folder of the resource library
    3 Move the folder inside to the shared folder
    4 Use NKS to locate the NEXUS library folder in the application in KK and manually scan it

    Lol, downloaded all the libraries overnight, and now I saw that you HAVE to be connected to the internet, otherwise not all sounds are playable.
    This makes this thing really nasty, since it's cracked and who knows where your data will be send.

    Hey guys, I’ve spent the past few hours observing the Nexus upload from the sister site and have found some unusual things that have concerned me

    Im using a legit version of the Nexus.dll file for comparison and monitoring my network traffic and my findings are as follows

    The ip address 147.75.7.186 belongs to reFX and shows up in the network traffic for both the legit version and the version from the sister site (ok this is fine)

    [​IMG]

    But as you can see from the image below, the version from the sister site is also connecting to random Amazon Web Servers (none of these appear in the legit version)

    [​IMG]

    I can’t think of any reason for this, but somebody may have a simple explanation, if anybody can clear this up then that would be great!


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you are worried here is the sites to block in your hosts file

    IP Details For: 147.75.71.186 Hostname: web.refx.com
    IP Details For: 52.42.114.201 Hostname: ec2-52-42-114-201.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    IP Details For: 52.70.136.170 Hostname: ec2-52-70-136-170.compute-1.amazonaws.com

    In Hosts add Blocks

    It will get created with or without internet. Of course that file isn't created with legit Nexus.
    Very strange.


    Yes, blocking it is easy. But we shouldn't be worried about blocking some "foreign" servers (not that AWS is foreign, but definitely the legit version doesn't try to call it)

    Who knows what else is this release hiding...

    The only time I have seen this file is when I had an infected machine, I did a quick google and most of the results show an interesting trend.

    What is inside this file?

    Yeah I saw those Google results too, doesn't seem good lol. But I don't understand why Malwarebytes doesn't find anything.

    Also doesn't make sense to go through all that trouble to make Nexus3 work and inject it with some malware

    Code is obfuscated. Runs under an Oreans virtualized environment (again, it shouldn't be like this).
    Sketchy.
