Hi,
in some cases it may be necessary to log the http traffic of your browser. For example
Mozilla Firefox has the ability to do that. This behaviour is controled by 2 environtment varibales

Hi,
a friend of mine wants to print the content of some Windows Media Player playlists , but there is no export or print option available.
I wrote him a small C# program which does the job :-). It uses the AxInterop.WMPLib COM Interface.

Hi,
if a virus infection was detected or is just assumed, the best way to found all of them, is to boot from a “Clean” medium to ensure no rootkit hide some importend details from the scanner.
There are a couple of Live CDs for this job.
Microsoft Defender Offline – It used a Windows PE. Has a graphical frontend
Avira Rescue System – Linux based with a graphical frontend
Live Scanner Kaspersky Lab – Linux based with a KDE based Desktop
Dr. Web Live CD – not tested yet
F-Secure Rescue CD – Linux LiveCD – text based
Bitdefender Rescue CD – Linux Live CD with a graphical LXDE Desktop
AVG Rescue CD – Also Linux based but with a menu driven text frontend
Panda Security LiveCD – Linux based and simple to use.
Use multiple of them to get the the best possible result to eliminate all infections!

Hi,
last week a customer had the problem that he lost a Word Document which he wants to print. Only a pdf of the document was available but in this file the print protection flag was set.
I used Ghostscript to reset the print protection.
Install Ghostscript and use this command line to write a new version of the pdf file which is printable
gswin.exe -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=d:\temp\OUTPUT.pdf -c .setpdfwrite -f D:\Temp\input.pdf

Hello,
in his office, a customer have a few Avocent KVM switches to control some client computers in a remote room. He ask me about the possibility to get a list of all computers connected to these boxes, because he do not want to maintain any list by hand.
I research the documention but there is no (scripting) interface from which I could get such a list. SSH is only for connecting serial consoles, SNMP offers no OIDs for such a case.
Because of the costs, DSView isn’t a option. The only way seems to be to extracting the list by reading the Webfrontend HTML output. Let us do this 🙂
I wrote a script in powershell, at least version 2 is needed to handle selfsigned SSL certificates, which do the following:
Define the User, Password, protocol and the devices:
# KVM User
[string]$sUser="Admin"
# KVM Password
[string]$sPassword="YourPassword"
# Protocol
[string]$sProtocol="https"
# Your Devices
[String[]]$aAvocentDevices=@("Console1.domain.local","Console2.domain.local")
Built HTTP POST text and disable SSL certificate warnings
