  1. Saying something intelligent and accurate is a nice twist , but does not anyway make up for the past. JFYI: http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/steve_gibson/ jaclaz
  2. Newsweek news: http://mag.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto.html maybe the actual Nakoshi Sakamoto has been found (or maybe not) AP news: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ap-exclusive-man-denies-hes-bitcoin-founder http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?xg_source=activity&id=2003008%3ATopic%3A9402&page=2#comments jaclaz
  3. See if this helps/can workaround the issue : Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU?page=1 jaclaz
  4. Yep. I "coded" my reply to that message in 44 bytes (program and screenshot attached). jaclaz j.vbs.txt
  5. I am not offended at all . My sticks work fine, I can zap them when I want/if I need to, you have a problem, I attempted to help you on it, this turned out to be not possible, and I simply stated what was evident. As said, no prob whatsoever , but I can find better uses for my spare time, rest assured. jaclaz
  6. Good . I see how you don't need or want assistance/help, no prob whatever. jaclaz
  7. Sure , only AND, OR, NOT are boolean operators, and to be picky, algebra is nowhere to be seen around this thread, let alone Boolean algebra. jaclaz
  8. Naah, it is a rewritten tool, it is not like command switches are subject to copyright. And, of course there are more really free tools that offer the same (or better) capabilities of corresponding non-redistributable MS command line tools. A few are here: http://fstaal01.home.xs4all.nl/downloads-us.html As a replacement for SRVANY I like this nice tool: http://nssm.cc/ jaclaz
  9. I guess everyone is familiar with MS/Sysinternals PSExec: http://technet.microsoft.com/it-it/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx but not many are aware of the existence of PAExec: http://www.poweradmin.com/paexec/ And : jaclaz
  10. There are several versions of such tools on the given page, you may want to try with another one, but these are undocumented, complex and potentially "dangerous" tools, a report like: makes very little sense. Which EXACT file did you try? HOW EXACTLY did you run it (which EXACT settings)? What about the "MPALL"? In any case get the "Getinfo" program GetInfo v3.8.8.2: http://www.usbdev.ru/?wpfb_dl=119 and run it, it is a Phison specific "information gatherer" that will provide additional info. Also read (through google translate) the actual "main page", there are a number of "suggestions", "tricks" and "what not's" that may apply to your case. Finally, cannot say speciifically, but these utilities usually tend to work fine on XP and to have issues on Windows Vista or 7. jaclaz
  11. Yesterday I wanted to show to a developer the behaviour of a tool of his, so, to make a small "video" of how the program behaved I got Camstudio, which is seemingly a nice program, BUT that comes as a "online installer", with (optional) programs (adware), and that nice as it might be is a huge piece of bloat, the stupid 650 Kb installer downloaded and installed some 40 Mb or so. Then I proceeded to record the behaviour of the program, just a few seconds of "screenshot video", which turned out as a .avi file some 262 Mb in size . Being the smart guy I am , I quickly fired up good ol' virtualdub : and quickly converted the .avi to an animated .gif, which resulted in some 1 Mb file, perfectly clear and visible. Problem solved. Today I checked a bit around if there was a simpler solution, and found in no time the nice Licecap B) : http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ which plainly and simply and directly records screenshots to animated ,gif. Don't be (too) fooled by the: LICEcap v1.24 for Windows (12/29/13) (300kb installer) the file \licecap124-install.exe opens allright with 7-zip and contains licecap.exe 145.484 bytes in size which works fine even if double clicked from within 7-zip. (the installer file also contains the source) I tried replicating the same actions I had recorded yesterday and, including a "title screenshot" I obtained a similarly sized (actually a tidbit smaller) 1 Mb file, also perfectly clear and with the added bonus of highlighting with a circle mouse clicks. The morals of the story are: small is beautiful, and small and fully portable is even better. you don't need a cannon to shoot a flyjaclaz
  12. This sentence: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/27/gchq-interception-storage-webcam-images-condemned (bolding/underlining/colouring is mine) is one of the best I have seen lately on the matter. jaclaz
  13. Maybe because we have funnier little pics ... jaclaz
  14. Hmmm. See if this is of any use (it allows to modify the menues if pressing SHIFT): http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.214 jaclaz
  15. Fixing non-problems before they maybe actually exist. Let's call it "proactive prevention" instead of the more common used term "lost time". You may want to take note of the feeble line that is usually drawn between "leaked build" and "beta channel". Particularly the latter is interactive, i.e. the developer of the Firefox extension can claim that a bug is in the beta of Firefox and the developing team may correct it, while in the case of the leaked build (to which you should have no access whatsoever) I doubt that you can tell the good MS guys that they messed up the update (or actually you can, but they won't likely listen to you). In the specific case, the possibility of a "black out" (not that "professional" software actually provides you with any guarantee)is IMHO implied in: jaclaz
  16. Sure, just strip off of it BOTH Dalvik and Java, and you have a relatively secure Linux. Just totally faked research data : Mobile Malware 2013: Other platforms: 3% Android: 97% of these to be connected to: base (heavily modified and forked) Linux kernel: 0.00% Dalvik VM: 12.45% Java: 88.54% Other:0.01% (and yes, the total makes 101% as I am keeping in line with Forrester Research quality standards) To re-connect with (supposedly) real data, 75% of the Android malware in the world (3/4) belong to: Saudi Arabia 42% India 33% Now while India may have a relevant number of Android phones in use, the amount in Saudi Arabia cannot but be trifling (even if you consider a 188% penetration rate) and consequently the 40%, 50% or even 60% of Android share of it is "nothing". This plainly means that each Android phone in Saudi Arabia has (or has had) at lest 238 malware apps concurrently, or that - with the only exception of Indians and Arabs (and only the arabs from Saudi Arabia) - all the rest of the world population has the same malware but also the good habit of not telling anyone about it. Comeon, that data is either failed or wrong or both, it makes no sense whatsoever. Let's say that ALL the estimated mobile phones in Saudi Arabia (46,000,000): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_mobile_phones_in_use are actually Smartphones and that 60% of them 60%*46,000,000=27,600,000 use Android and that each and everyone of them has at least one malware. Logically the total amount of malware affected phones in the world is 27,600,000/42%=65,714,286 Out of an estimated amount of active android devices worldwide of more than 1 billion at the beginning of September 2013: http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/03/google-announces-1b-total-android-activations-names-next-version-kitkat/ and adding to it between 1 and 1.5 million activation per day since, we have at the end of 2013: 3*30*1,250,000+1,000,000,000=1,112,500,000 65,714,286/1,112,500,000=5.9% infection rate But we know that 75% of those infected phones: 65,714,286*75%=49,285,714 are in either Saudi Arabia or India, so we can approximate to: (65,714,286-49,285,714)/(1,112,500,000-49,285,714)=16,428,572/1,063,214,286= 1.54% So we can actually say that unless you are in Saudi Arabia or India your chances of getting a malware are below 1.5% and that is an average, since the malware will affect before you those that think that the gigabyte is a south american insect , your actual "virus surviving" chances are much higher than that (and of course not every single Android phone in Saudi Arabia is affected, the end result will be "insignificant risk") IMHO random numbers, again. jaclaz
  17. The originally posted link is "malformed", here is the "right" one: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/360097.html You might need to use this: https://translate.google.it/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.livedoor.jp%2Fblackwingcat%2Farchives%2F360097.html (the site is in Japanese) As a side note WHY someone would actually want to install Office 2007 (and it's ribbon interface ) totally escapes me. jaclaz
  18. No imminent risk , good . Maybe we should patent an asteroid helmet, something *like*: jaclaz
  19. Sure we have 'em, they tend to make a career in politics here , in the sense that you can't talk or reason with them jaclaz
  20. Not entirely unike the invention Mr.Thorndike is credited with in "The Love Bug" : http://www.subzin.com/search.php?title=The+Love+Bug&imdb=64603&q=contract&search_sort=Popularity&genre=-1&type=All jaclaz
  21. Nothing a minigun can't handle, with enough ammo. In case of need: http://zombie.wikia.com/wiki/Zombie_Wiki jaclaz
  22. A bit dated, but still relevant for the beginner: http://pdf.textfiles.com/security/googlehackers.pdf jaclaz
  23. Start on the donkey's stable , seriously http://www.donkeysstable.com/ their WinExplorer is a little gem and from there you have many relevant links to "modern" assembly programming and tools. jaclaz
  24. , but at least we tried . jaclaz
  25. Good and here is the Russian related page : http://www.usbdev.ru/files/phison/ http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=it&ie=UTF8&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://www.usbdev.ru/files/phison/&usg=ALkJrhhoPhdxWKyyiIz1bCLF1mWu1K82tA What you want to try is the "Phison UPTool" and/or the "Phison MPALL", but first you should try with the "Phison Low Level Format Utility (Preformat)". Your stick seems like using a controller: UP20 = PS2260 = PS2251-60 jaclaz
