General Software Discussion / Re: Creating your own Windows Drivers

You did get the message that that kind of drivers are (usually) written in C++, and not in C#, right ?

I don't get quite clear where the output of your webcam should end up, into Skype so you can view it remotely? All webcams I've seen (not that many though) offer some kind of software to watch remotely what's going on, what isn't good enough about that?
Or is it just another programming challenge you're after? For that itch we have NANY 2016, here at DC

Living Room / Re: Raspberry Pi Zero -- $5.00

« Last post by Ath on December 06, 2015, 07:27 AM »

but I'm hoping that they pull a rabbit out of a hat, and it's an ethernet connector that should just be soldered on there...

-Ath (November 28, 2015, 04:07 PM)

Did some more investigation, but the chances some kind of ethernet connection is available is really slim/0. It doesn't even have USB-hub capability, so adding more than 1 USB apparatus requires adding an external USB hub, where a USB-Ethernet or -WiFi adapter can then also be connected. Well, that makes it, as expected, quite less useful except for really non-network projects. And the best local price I saw for a bare unit is €8,95, that's not really close to $5,- IMHO , and when adding converter-cables and a power supply it passes €25,-
Yep, I'm not very enthusiastic about this 'Zero' thingy maybe it's the name that says it all...

Living Room / Re: CAT5 splitter?

« Last post by Ath on December 04, 2015, 01:48 AM »

Well, IMHO it works a bit differently on the twisted pair side:
Each wire-pair has the 'standard' signal on one wire (+), and the same signal inverted on the other wire (-), effectively resolving into reverse fields generated, resulting into no (0) transmission by the wire-pair.
Google Images over here, that probably explains it better

Well, that's the (theoretical) story using my slim translation skills

Screenshot Captor / Re: HitmanPro.Alert and Screenshot Captor (Scrolling Window) Conflict

« Last post by Ath on December 02, 2015, 09:08 AM »

Sounds like HMPA is detecting SC Scrolling capture as a screen-scraping attempt, similar to malware trying to read your credentials etc. from a browser?

Does a standard Screen capture using SC also trigger any Alert?

The problem with ARM computers is that they, although rather power-saving, are not viable network devices. Their CPUs are too slow for serious file transfers.

-Tuxman (November 28, 2015, 03:00 PM)

Well, to not have a network connection is far more restrictive than to have a slow network connection. In that case I can at least use it for *something* (inter)network based instead of only locally connected (GPIO, USB) hardware. And a USB-Ethernet 'converter' requires a USB-hub if a keyboard/mouse should also be connected
I haven't found any docs on the 6 parallel soldering lines on the back of the pcb yet, but I'm hoping that they pull a rabbit out of a hat, and it's an ethernet connector that should just be soldered on there...

General Software Discussion / Re: Alert on File/Folder Access

« Last post by Ath on November 28, 2015, 12:23 PM »

The only viable attack to be detected would be from network access to a file, when trying to modify/delete it, though I'm not sure if that would be identifiable as originating from a network-source. And then I'd expect any AV to detect that kind of attack. But maybe that's too optimistic

I can confirm that it's displaying old data several times a day. Don't know how old, but I was blaming yahoo for that. I'll try to clean out my temp dir, but still suspect yahoo serving bogus data, as there seem to be other users having issues.
Or are we maxing out the amount of data that your api-key allows, Skwire?

I thought about suggesting JIRA too, but it could be overkill in some situations, especially as a note-registration system. Confluence would be more appropriate for that.

Jira does work work with Markup, but I am not sure about RTF. Perhaps you can find that in their store.

-Shades (November 16, 2015, 09:10 AM)

No, it doesn't support RTF, and in my years maintaining our on-site JIRA servers, I've not found a plugin that adds that as an option, yet. Confluence uses the same markup.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Tool that lists digitally signed files from a folder/disk

« Last post by Ath on November 15, 2015, 04:12 AM »

I've been testing on Win10 here, with SigCheckGUI 1.1.0.1 with SigCheck 2.10.0.0 and SigCheck 2.30.0.0, and I can see no different results when checking all running processes. Only 3 unsigned executables, and the rest is all green checks and Signed in the appropriate column, and all columns filled as expected. I've tested with Checksums and VirusTotal checks enabled in consecutive runs, and both with and without Run as Administrator, while UAC is enabled and on the default level.

Might it be that G Data is interfering with SigCheckGUI/SigCheck while it is checking the files? I'm using Avast (Free) here, and that does not interfere AFAICS. You could try to disabled G Data and see if that improves your scan-results, it could see the newer SigCheck version as an 'unknown' or 'unfamiliar' tool, and disallow or delay access resulting in intermittent failures during scanning.
(Experience has learned me over the years that disabling AV and similar tools solves a lot of intermittent and unexplained application failures, and there isn't much the application can do about that, as any workaround you devise comes back to bite you in your butt in the near future)

Yes ... But as to how to go about extracting it, I've not a clue.

-Stoic Joker (November 02, 2015, 03:13 PM)

I assume, by context and fodder's creds, the extract is targeted at the data, not the password After all, you won't need that password after you switch to Postgresql

If all went 'well', not the password is stored, but only a hash of it. Not knowing the hash method will make recovery very hard, especially if a generated password is used. Resetting the password may be the only plausible solution.

Well, you could get the pages from the web using curl or wget, use xmlstarlet (in html-mode) to extract your data, and output that to csv format for further processing in Excel or another spreadsheet program. Then upload the resulting file to a shared webspace or Dropbox account to distribute as needed.
Wrap it all with cmd or shell scripting, optionally using Cygwin to have the power of bash-scripting on Windows, and you're in business.

As your data is web-based, you'd be better off using a web-scraping tool to collect the data, instead of manually reading the numbers from your screen.

It would seem in notepad carriage returns aren't being interpreted as carriage return+linefeed. if without edit, i press the output box Copy to Clipboard, the copy will still not have linefeeds when i paste it back into notepad.

-DyNama (October 23, 2015, 01:20 PM)

Notepad doesn't support linux-formatted text (line-feed only), so I'd reccommend using a decent editor (lots of free notepad replacements available), and forget notepad even exists.
