NANY 2011 Release: JottiQ
« on: November 22, 2010, 09:42 AM »
NANY 2011 Entry Information

Application NameJottiQ

As JottiQ has been picked up by more websites and sources than originally anticipated, v1.0.2 and later are basically let-us-be-nice-to-Jotti releases. Hopefully Jotti will not need to cut service completely any longer, but the unfortunate side-effect is that previous versions have been banned permanently.

Jotti's malware scan is undergoing changes... changes that JottiQ versions before v1.2.0 are not compatible with. :( Please update your JottiQ!
Versionv1.2.0
Short DescriptionJotti's malware scan provides a great service. Yet, it is so cumbersome to use. This program changes that.
Supported OSesWindows XP+, 32 and 64-bit

Description
Jotti's malware scan provides a wonderful service for those among us who are conscious of the crap that tends to accompany the files they download or otherwise obtain. Sadly enough, it tends to quickly become a bother to use: you can only check a single file at a time and can't queue a number of files ahead of time. Not only that, but you also have to select the file inside of your browser which tends to open a dozen clicks away from the file you want to scan. And when you finally have the file uploaded, it will kindly tell you the file has been scanned before. Argh! Did you wait for it to upload just to hear THAT?

Last night, I got an idea: maybe I can improve this situation. I also emailed the author. And now it seems I received an email today that I have permission for this NANY app, and even some support from the author as I am the first one to start on such a project. And slowly, JottiQ was born. And it has grown to far more polished than I originally envisioned.

Features
  • the last letter of the name is a Q. Earth-shattering stuff right there; hold the presses!
  • pretty much everything [url=http://virusscan.jotti.org/]Jotti's malware scan itself offers
  • allows you to build a queue (duh) of files needing scanning
  • uses Jotti's internal cache to speed up scans by avoiding the uploading of files that have already been scanned in the past
  • lists scanners with detections at the top of their list in red
  • if a file has only a few detections, a green bug (rather than a red one) shows you at a glance that it isn't a file one can immediately claim to be good or bad.
  • allows you to open scan results in your browser
  • rightclick files and click Scan with JottiQ
  • upto three files can be scanned (processed) simultaneously.
  • items that have been scanned and are deemed safe can automatically be removed from the queue.
  • the scanning of executables of running processes this feature was removed in v1.1.0
  • an About dialog thanking everything and anything
  • support for forks, a.k.a. Alternate Data Streams
  • proxy servers
  • connectivity tester for connection troubleshooting purposes

JottiQ
v1.2.0 (2015-03-24)
http://whitehat.dcmembers.com/

WHAT IS JOTTIQ?
---------------

JottiQ is a tool that makes it more convenient to use Jotti's malware scan,
which is an online service optimized for one-by-one scanning of files you do
not trust.

Its purpose is that of an investigative tool, for when you do not trust a file
you came across but your current security software seems to think it is as
harmless a file as they come. It is not meant to replace your virus scanner,
nor is it meant to scan the heaps and heaps of nasty things that float around
on your computer because you are too cheap/lazy/picky to get software that is
meant for that purpose.

JottiQ is meant for a _low number of files_ that you do not trust more-so than
the rest of your computer. And I, the author of JottiQ, feel you should never
trust your own computer to begin with. But that is a story for another day. :-)

For more information, see the official JottiQ (NANY 2011) topic:

    https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=24663.0



WOOO, I LOVE THIS LADY BUG
--------------------------

That's awesome. Glad you enjoy it. Now, if you are one of those rare few who
insists on showing gratitude for a freeware application like this, I'd like you
to remember a few things before you go nuts with that wallet of yours.

 - JottiQ would not exist without Jotti's malware scan. It is that simple.

 - Jotti (the author of the malware scan) does not accept donations, and only
     has a few minor ads up on his site. He wishes for the service to remain
     free. At present, the service is basically kept afloat by several parties
     who pay for some other services, and the free Jotti's malware scan service
     basically survives as a consequence of those other sources of income.
    
   Are you in a position to order any sort of extended services from Jotti?
     If so, please consider what he may do for you(r company), and in the
     process help out an awesome free service to continue its existence.

So you tell me - who do you really love? No lying!

If you insist on supporting JottiQ (this application, not the online malware
scanner) then I will begrudgingly accept any donations made through the system
DonationCoder.com has in place for such acts of gratitude. While you are there,
you might even find another application of your liking, or worse, thank their
creators in a similar way! :-)

(And if you mean you love the lady bug ICON, well... there is a Credits section
at the bottom of this document with a link to the author who created it.)



REQUIREMENTS
------------

Like so many applications nowadays, JottiQ does not stand merely on its own two
legs. In that way, it is much like a person, who stands by virtue of the local
cobbler to make the shoes, the tailor who makes the clothes, the supermarket
that allows us ignorance in the ways of the hunt. No, JottiQ is a sorry beast,
demanding the following of its environment in order for it to be a productive
member of the binary society that makes up a computer.

 [ ] Windows XP or newer. Both 32-bit and 64-bit varieties are supported.

 [X] Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
       This needs to be installed for JottiQ to work at all. If you already
       have the far bigger all-in package of the .NET v4 Framework installed,
       you should already have this.
  
       http://www.microsoft...4f-97b6-fb17111cf544

 [X] Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
       This needs to be installed on both 32-bit AND 64-bit systems for the
       file context menu to work as one would expect.
    
       http://www.microsoft...3A-A423-37BF0912DB84

 [X] 64-bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
       This needs to be installed ONLY on 64-bit systems for the file context
       menu to work as one would expect.
    
       http://www.microsoft...55-81BF-9350143D5867

(The installer will make sure that items marked with a [X] are met, and where
  possible offer to install them for you as a part of the ride. In case you get
  JottiQ through an archive only, it is your responsibility to make sure these
  requirements are met.)

Do you have all those things, and JottiQ still lies around on your couch,
unwilling to go to work and rather act like a dead corpse? Leave a message at
the official JottiQ topic on DonationCoder.com and we may just find the magic
words to breathe life into this cutesy lady bug. :-)



VERSION HISTORY
---------------

v1.2.0 (2015-03-24)

    Compatibility release. Jotti is undergoing some changes so we must too. :)
    
    Upgrading is highly recommended; previous versions of JottiQ may break or
    otherwise show reduced functionality as Jotti improves his service.

v1.1.1 (2011-07-12)

    Any new version released suffers from a few hiccups, and v1.1.0 was no
    different. Thankfully, all this release does is pat the proverbial belly.
    
      Added: A setting that, if enabled, lessens the scrutiny given to the
          remote server of Jotti's malware scan to determine its authenticity.
          'Ignore certain SSL certificate errors' is only useful on a few
          specific configurations, and should not be enabled unless you get an
          error like the following in the Connectivity Test:
              'The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust
                relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.'
      Changed: dcuhelper.exe was updated to v1.10.01 released on July 12, 2011.

v1.1.0 (2011-07-01)

    Six months after the official release, it is time for a well-deserved
    update. Sadly, there isn't much one can improve in a tool with a simple
    purpose. However, I hope this new version will entertain.
    
      Added: Forks support. Also known as 'Alternative Data Streams', these
          are a well-hidden feature of the NTFS filesystem which provide for
          equally well-hidden pseudo-files attached to existing files. Most
          programs are unable to read them, no less act on them - which makes
          this a feature that truly improves Jotti's malware scan.
      Added: Proxy server support.
      Added: Connectivity test for troubleshooting issues. Some beta-testers
          for this version had problems with proxy server support, but it will
          hopefully prove useful for all parties.
      Added: A builtin 'whitelist' for forks. The feature is sometimes used
          for legitimate reasons, and one of those affects nearly every file
          downloaded. The whitelist exists for speeding up processing only;
          security-minded (distrusting?) individuals are free to enable the
          option that forces these whitelisted forks to appear in the queue.
      Added: A 'whitelist fork by name' option. If the precise comparisons on
          a possibly whitelisted fork prove troublesome, this enables one to
          consider the fork safe by proxy of its name. This feature as a work-
          around for 'Zone.Identifier' forks encoded in different formats than
          I have been able to test with - so if one finds a 'Zone.Identifier'
          fork that is not whitelisted, I request that this forks is saved to a
          file and sent to me at: jottiq-whitelist (at) whitehat.dcmembers.com
          so I may inspect it and if is found safe, add it to the whitelist in
          the next version. TL;DR? Don't enable unless you know you need it.
      Added: The queue context menu now offers an Actions sub-menu. These
          contain actions that affect the selected objects (files and/or forks)
          in the queue physically. There are currently two items in this menu:
           - Delete Object(s): This either deletes the selected file(s)
               permanently, or it removes the selected fork(s) from the file.
               Do note that deleting a file also deletes its forks, but that
               deleting a fork on a file leaves the latter intact. I remain of
               the opinion that JottiQ is an investigative tool rather than a
               cleaner, but... the peoples wishes are clear and forks are hard
               to delete, so deleting files is a logical consequence.
           - Save Fork As: This saves the contents of a fork to a file. This
               does not work for ordinary files as it would be a mere 'Copy'
               operation that may or may not bring expectations along with it;
               instead it is to be used as an inspection utility for a resource
               otherwise difficult to examine.
      Added: An 'Add file(s)' feature is now available in the toolbar. It
          completely slipped my attention in the 1.0.x versions, for which
          my apologies. Rather late than never. :)
      Removed: The 'Add Running Processes' functionality is no longer present.
          It was determined to be an inappropriate feature that only delivered
          half work, and to boot the reason why Jotti's malware scan suffers
          such ungodly waiting times during the waking hours of the western
          world ever since JottiQ's release.
      Fixed: No more crash when down-sizing the amount of worker-threads.
      Fixed: Legibility of items on right pane could suffer in certain colour
          configurations; now it uses proper system colours where applicable.
      Fixed: Zero-byte items were not being removed by the manual nor automatic
          'Remove safe items' features.
      Fixed: Deleting items from the queue while it was being processed no
          longer makes the worker-thread go M.I.A. until it finishes its work
          off the screen; it now terminates and moves on to the next item in
          the list as soon as possible.
      Changed: Uploading should be a little bit more efficient now.
      Changed: Fancy progress bars that show upload progress are now in place
          as opposed a boring textual description.
      Changed: Redesigned the Settings window with clearly named sections and
          recognizable icons in order to make JottiQ configuration more
          accessible.
      Changed: The instruction text in the main screen no longer suggests
          one to 'start processing' when processing is already enabled.



KNOWN ISSUES
------------

1) The installer can only delete settings for the current user. This is not
     something that I have any feasible way of changing, and in general all
     programs suffer this issue at uninstallation time. Although I do welcome
     any and all suggestions on the topic, I doubt this will change. (This
     includes the shell context menu option, if it was installed per-user.)

2) The installer component 'Explorer Integration affects All Users' determines
     the creation of the 'MachineInstallation' file. By default it is off,
     allowing every user to determine the presence of a file context menu for
     themselves (and also avoiding nasty UAC dialogs in the process.) Once
     this file is present, one needs Administrator rights in order to turn the
     file context menu on or off.
    
   Given point 1), if you install to make JottiQ available to multiple users,
     it is recommended to install with this setting turned on so that any
     registry pollution stays at a minimum. (Unless of course you are willing
     to manually turn off the file context menu for every single user
     beforehand. Of course, the best option is to never uninstall JottiQ!)

4) You may be instructed to reboot by the uninstaller. Or by the installer
     if/when you are upgrading JottiQ to a new version. This is most likely
     because explorer still has the shell extension loaded, and killing
     explorer the hard way and restarting it is a very user-unfriendly task.
     As such postponing the deletion or replacement operation till reboot-time
     is the user-friendliest alternative. This is unlikely to change in future
     versions as it is a long-standing Windows issue for not having a feasible
     method to tell Explorer to unload its shell extensions.

Usage
Installation
Either download the installer and do as it says, or get the .7z archive and extract that to some place of your liking. In the latter case, make sure you meet the Requirements as lined out in the Readme.txt.

Using the Application
Start the application. Make sure you agree with the privacy agreement. From then on forth, just drag and drop files onto JottiQ to have them scanned. (Make sure processing is turned on - the lightbulb must be on!) Additionally, some settings are hidden away in the Settings window (wrench icon, or press F6). Among them is a way to have JottiQ appear in the file context menu so you don't have to drag and drop stuff unnecessarily.

Uninstallation
In case you used the installer, go where all uninstallers hide (Control Panel, then Program Features/Add and Remove Programs/whatever name your OS gives to it) and select JottiQ in there. Or, if you extracted the archive, you can simply delete the files. Make sure you deselect the file context menu option first so no junk stays behind in your registry. See the Known Issues section in the readme for some additional gotchas for you neat&clean freaks.

Okay, I'm a happy hat right now. After tons of 'wtf' and 'what were they smoking', I am starting to see a tiny little bit of progress on this project. (Word to the wise: learning a new programming language and a new framework at the same time is pretty much asking for trouble.)

I am happy enough to make the biggest divulgion this ultra-secretive project has seen to date... a sneak-preview, if you wish. :Thmbsup:
It's gonna be a whole mind-blowing, brain-eating, insanely popular preview, I tell you. It's going to be a letter!

And since I don't like to do things just a little, I'm going to reveal the last letter, since hell, who cares about the first letter anyway?

SomethingSomethingSomethingSomethingQ

Consider everything about that letter a hint of what is to come. :D

I need to lie down now; all of this excitement isn't good for me...

Totally. What's an application if there's no order? If people just rush to the front, fight for the first spot, and so forth?

.. okay, that _would_ be fun. But I'm all serious and stuff about this. Haven't you noticed?

Yeah, but my free-for-all is the kind where everyone gets to profit, as opposed to the one with the biggest fists. ;)

I officially deny all involvement with any such project. If such a thing were to be true, and I am not saying it is true, then it would be a very wise move in stark contrast to all my past actions. Instead I deem it more rewarding in the long haul to keep expectations down while working them up at the same time.

Okay, so I deem the time ripe to lift the fog of immaturity, to banish the constant curiousity and satisfy it with a screenshot.

Yes yes. A whole screenshot. An image says more than a thousand letters Q ever would.

Enjoy... muhahaha. :)

Oo! Is it a "modesty curtain" for shy applications? You open "modesty curtain" and it simply applies the Windows Aero Glass effect in a resizable rectangle which you can drag over your app. If so, great idea! :D

Mmm, fuzzy logic.  :-*

On that note... work has been expedient for me. So expedient that I was going to offer up a public beta for release by tomorrow, and then mouser changed my mind. All of you can blame him for the lack of a beta. ;)

Now... for the real reason.

The real reason the beta is not going public is because the server API I am programming against is still a bit open for abuse, and my app is similarly able to abuse the crap out of it as I proved 20 minutes ago when I got it to throw out 'internal errors'. At least I didn't take down the entire website by sheer accident. :)

Anyhow, I am in a good mood. What does that mean? If work tomorrow goes anywhere according to plan, I might do a very limited beta. The person that is able to make me smile in the posts to come after this one... and is going to make a pledge to keep to my super-imposed secretive agenda will get to do a one-person sneak-peek beta preview and laugh with me at the rest of the unenlightened. ;)

So JavaJones was right.
Is it a "modesty curtain" for shy applications?

It almost was curtains for you!

And now it is curtains time... curtains OPENING time. I hereby promote my mystery project to the Teaser stage of being.

The name... *drumroll*... JottiQ.

Ok, that's horrible. So what does it do? Well, the first screenshot pretty much explains that bit:



So, it is basically a tool to make easier use of Jotti's malware scan.

Ok, fine. The main interface also gets a screenshot:



Test builds really will be out soon I hope, January 1st at the latest. :D

Special thanks go out to vlastimil for the awesome lady bug icon.

Okay, I need some input for the file context menu as I cannot decide on the file context menu text. (You get that when rightclicking a file. For example, Scan with YourScanner.)

Things I've thought of so far...

  • Add to JottiQ
  • Send to JottiQ
  • Scan with JottiQ I am a bit less fond of this one since the action itself doesn't actually cause it to start scanning unless the app is configured that way.
  • Queue for scan

Likewise, I've tried to think whether it might be better to just put Jotti, Jotti Queue, queue and whatever other alternatives you can think of for the word JottiQ above.

I'd love your suggestions, everyone. :)

Send to Jotti for virus scanning

That's way too long. It'd make it by far the longest item in my menu. Menu items have to be concise.. to the point... whatever the word is.

Add to JottiQ(ueue)

Heh. Tempting, but I think it'd start to bug you after clicking it a few times.

The name aside, we've got Queue, Send and Add as our verbs in question. Always nice to know I've got a reason to doubt and overthink. :)
