ForceBindIP 1.2a is a IP Utility product from r1ch.net, get 4 Stars SoftSea Rating, ForceBindIP is a freeware Windows software that will inject itself into another software and alter how certain Windows Sockets calls are made, allowing you to force the other software to use a specific network interface / IP address. This is useful if you are in an environment with multiple interfaces and your software has no such option for binding to a specific interface.
ForceBindIP works in two stages - the loader, ForceBindIP.exe will load the target software in a suspended state. It will then inject a DLL (BindIP.dll) which loads WS2_32.DLL into memory and intercepts the bind(), connect(), sendto(), WSAConnect() and WSASendTo() functions, redirecting them to code in the DLL which verifies which interface they will be bound to and if not the one specified, (re)binds the socket. Once the function intercepts are complete, the target software is resumed. Note that some applications with anti-debugger / injection techniques may not work correctly when an injected DLL is present; for the vast majority of applications though this technique should work fine.
As of version 1.2, all known functions in WS2_32.DLL that either explicitly or implicitly bind to an interface are intercepted. Please note however that certain programs may still end up using the default interface if they implement connections that do not use the standard winsock functions.
Some programs that have been tested to work with ForceBindIP include DC++, uTorrent, Quake II, Quake III, Diablo II, StarCraft, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Earth, Infantry, Real Player, Unreal Tournament 2004 (requires -i), Outlook 2000 (requires -i). Programs that do not work include GetRight (anti-debugger / forking techniques), WinCVS (forks cvs.exe)
Usage
ForceBindIP has no graphical interface. You must configure it like a command-line application. To run 'app.exe' and force it to bind to 1.2.3.4, you would run ForceBindIP as follows:
* ForceBindIP 1.2.3.4 c:\full\path\to\app.exe
Note that the full path is required; if the path contains spaces, it must be quoted. ForceBindIP can also take the GUID of an interface if for example the IP address is dynamic. To find out the GUID of your interface, run regedit and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces. Find the interface which has the dynamic address and then copy the key name. You can then run ForceBindIP as follows:
ForceBindIP {4FA65F75-7A5F-4BCA-A3A2-59824B2F5CA0} c:\path\to\app.exe
Command line options for the target software may also appear after the path to the executable if needed.
Version 1.2 also provides an optional -i parameter. If you find your chosen software crashes on startup or exhibits other unexpected behaviour, try using -i, eg:
* ForceBindIP -i 1.2.3.4 c:\full\path\to\app.exe
This will cause the ForceBindIP loader to wait until the software has entered its message loop before injecting the interception DLL. Note however that any calls that the software makes to Winsock prior to the DLL being loaded will not have been bound to the chosen interface.
