General Software Discussion / Re: When testing untrustworthy software, remember virtual machines can be escaped

F0dder -- thank you for your wisdom -- very helpful.


PS: while you're not super likely to find VM-escape in the wild, it's a lot more common for malware to have VM detection - meaning it won't activate when running in a VM, so it lulls you into a false feeling of safety.

Excellent point I hadn't even considered.

Can you grab the latest version (actually even better would be the latest beta) and tell me if the bug remains?
Beta download link is near the top of this post: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=3474.0

There is an option "Don't ask me to confirm deletion of files" -- but note that it's in the Image Browser tool (under File menu) not in the Automatic Screenshotter tool.

"We recommend you to not perform this action" does not sound natural in (American) English, but perhaps it would sound better to say "We recommend that you do not perform this action."

Nircmd is an awesome free third party tool that I installed with LBC so that you can make buttons that do things like put computer to sleep, etc.  The antivirus programs that alert on it are being incredibly unfair to label such a program as dangerous when it is not.  Nevertheless you can always block that program if you want, it won't affect the functioning of LBC.

General Software Discussion / When testing untrustworthy software, remember virtual machines can be escaped
« Last post by mouser on March 20, 2017, 01:11 AM »
For those of us who occasionally test "untrustworthy" software from sources we can't be sure of, using a virtual machine is generally considered "safe".  Whatever happens in a virtual machine stays in a virtual machine -- or so we hope.

This is just a reminder that malware authors are actively trying to find ways to break out of virtual machines and infect the host pc, and to be careful.

Contestants at this year's Pwn2Own hacking competition in Vancouver just pulled off an unusually impressive feat: they compromised Microsoft's heavily fortified Edge browser in a way that escapes a VMware Workstation virtual machine it runs in. The hack fetched a prize of $105,000, the highest awarded so far over the past three days.

Not really what you're looking for but when the error message about autosize/stretch appears, if one opens the configuration menu without first closing the warning message, then LBC locks up.

That's helpful.

Plus, can you be more explicit about turning off stretch? I don't see an entry that matches your wording. If I check 'on' for Do not stretch, on the second docking panel, nothing seems to change.

Will do.

Updated:
v1.153.01 - Mar 17, 2017
  • [MajorFeature] First High-dpi compatible version beta.
  • [BugFix] Too many backup files were sometimes being created.
  • [MajorFeature] You can now set custom icon sizes for large and small buttons (see main options tab 3).
  • [Improvement] Improved message when you try to launch a second instance.
  • [Feature] Added an "auto-size" bar to right-click bar pop-up menu.
  • [BugFix] Fixed error that could occur on rare occasions that the configuration tree attempted to display twice.

Any testing would be appreciated.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Hoping to add custom icon sizes soon
« Last post by mouser on March 18, 2017, 12:17 AM »
This is a bit off topic but on my systems, say I have 4 hidden launch bars, when LBC starts up it redraws the bars for what seems to be the number of times that there are bars.

Ok I can confirm there was an issue with LBC recreating bars more than it had to.
(this was happening both at startup and when resolution change was detected).

I may have this fixed. Can you try the latest beta and let me know?


My only concern is that docks may not be laid out properly at boot time, since I can see that one of the reasons the extra code was there was to kludge a fix for LBC being launched before the display was properly set up.  Hopefully that bug doesn't come back.

Well I guess I should refer to these fixes as fixes for those with Windows Text Size setting over 100%, as that is what is improved -- regardless of the resolution.  Hopefully these latest fixes won't cause any issues for those with 100% text size setting.

Some other questions. What does "First High-dpi compatible version beta" on the change log mean?
It's for people who have their windows display options set to > 100% text size, typically users with super hi-res 4k monitors.  For everyone else it should hopefully have no effect.

Those buttons are used to manually step through packets one at a time.  You would first click "Pause" and then click "Parse 1" for each new packet you want to parse, while the new packets are buffered in a queue.
It can be useful if you need to examine all packets as they come in from a requested stream, though note that it's really only useful in the initial packets as there will quickly be too many to examine..

The Alera Elusion has been recommended on a few sites I've seen as an affordable high quality alternative to the big boys, so I bought one on craigslist without much testing, and I can't say I really like it.  I don't know it just doesn't feel very comfortable no matter how I adjust it.
