Dropcanvas Offers Up Free, Dead Simple File Sharing, But Can It Last? There’s no shortage of robust, full-featured file storage and sharing services out there, but where do you turn when you want the quickest, simplest way to go? Crate costs money, JustBeamIt requires both users to be online at the same time, but newcomer Dropcanvas? They may be onto something. The beauty behind Dropcanvas is that it requires virtually no thought or effort to use properly. Upon navigating to the site, users are told to drag and drop a file onto the page. That’s all there is to it. Dropcanvas came about when co-creator Chris Newnham came up with the concept after trying to talk his aunt through the process of sharing her vacation photos with her friends. After sharing the service with their friends and family, the pair decided to take things to the next level by launching the public beta on Reddit two weeks ago, a process that temporarily brought the service to its knees. Here’s the interesting bit though — the pair don’t have any plans to try and monetize the service.
HTML5 Bookmarks - daily news articles and bookmarks Optware/ipkg on Synology DS211+ ModdingNote that the following covers the DS211+ device, which is characterized by being based on the Marvell Kirkwood mv6282 ARM core (1.6Ghz version of 1.2Ghz mv6281). AFAIK the content of this blog entry should be equally applicable to all DS211 variations, but you should consult the Synology wiki for your device to be certain. While quite feature rich out-of-the-box, developer types will likely want to make their NAS do even more, either out of a real need or just to tinker. For instance, I eventually plan to connect my USB weather station and generate live charts. Because of the modding desire, Synology has a faily comprehensive wiki about the subject. To make a long story short, ease of modding is greatly assisted by the possibility of installing Optware package manager. Installing Optware Optware (ipkg) is an online package system a la what you may know from Debian/Ubuntu. Download the Optware bootstrapper: Start the installation: Now reboot the NAS: NAS> reboot
Introducing the USB Stick of Death (Bug found by Gynvael Coldwind, exploit developed by Mateusz “j00ru” Jurczyk) Several months back we have been playing with different file systems on various system platforms, examining the security posture and robustness of numerous device drivers’ implementations. One of the configurations we spent some time on was the commonly used NTFS on Microsoft Windows – as the file system is rather complex and still largely unexplored, we could expect its device driver to have some bugs to that would be easily uncovered. In addition, it was certainly tempting to be able to simply insert a USB stick, have it automatically mounted by the operating system and immediately compromise it by triggering a vulnerability in ntfs.sys. Please note that the presented issue requires the attacker to obtain physical access to the machine and have a local user in the system. Visibly, it was a NULL pointer dereference crash triggered during the unmounting of a randomly mutated NTFS volume. The payload
Hey, Scripting Guy! How Long Has My Server Been Up? - Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog Hey, Scripting Guy! Everyone at work has the idea that our network is unreliable. However, I know that our servers are seldom down. How can I prove to them that I know my stuff?-- HB Hi HB, You are really asking two questions. To approach your problem, HB, we can use the WMI class Win32_OperatingSystem which has thelastBootupTime property. $aryComputer = Get-Content c:\fso\servers.txt $now = get-date $filePath = "C:\fso\uptime.txt" foreach ($computer in $aryComputer) { $wmi = Get-WmiObject -class win32_operatingsystem -namespace root\cimv2 ` -computername $computer $lastBootTime = $wmi.ConvertToDateTime($wmi.LastBootUpTime) "$computer has been up for $($now - $lastBootTime)" | Tee-Object -variable uptime out-file -filepath $filepath -inputObject $uptime -append } #end foreach To begin with, HB, we use Windows PowerShell to see if we can connect on our local computer and pick out the lastBootupTime. In VBScript, we had two approaches to handling UTC time. $now = get-date
Getting Things Done GTD with Personal Development and Motivation for Success - - DIGTD - Making You More Productive Hyper-V Remote Management: Workgroup Vista Client to Domain-Bound Server » Danny Thorpe So here I am configuring my dev machine in Redmond from my laptop in my home office in Santa Cruz. I’m all VPN’d and security card authenticated up the wazoo, installing this and configuring that on the dev machine via Remote Desktop. (Praise be to RD!) I get Hyper-V set up on the dev machine so I can create and destroy virtual machine configurations with impunity while developing and testing on beta stuff. I create a new VM in Hyper-V, allocate some RAM and HD to it, and tell it to boot off the network so I can install a stock Vista configuration from corpnet (corpnet does have some pretty cool services now and then). It boots up, and I can see in the little thumbnail that something is alive in there. I need to open that VM in a console so I can drive it. Hmm. How to work around this? Bzzt! Uh-oh. Naturally, none of those scenarios match my situation. I know exactly what the problem is. Or will it? Here are the steps I used to get this working: Tada!
