Split binary data file by AOB
I have a file with the following magic AoB that acts a separator: 00 07 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 00 07 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 Is there any utility or quick way to split this file into many wherever this AoB occurs? Thanks Let's block ads! (Why?)
Windows firewall and ping
I am experimenting on blocking all outbound traffic by default using Windows Firewall. I then wish to explicitly allow ICMPv4 outbound by the PING.EXE program. Hence, I explicitly create custom rules that say if the file is %systemroot%system32PING.EXE and the protocol is ICMPv4, it is allowed. Howe...
Missing number in pivot tables that are in the underlying database. - New bug with Excel 2016, never happened in previous versions
I have used databases and pivot tables for more than 16 years and have never had a problem.

SSH executes the command differently
After several experiments I got to a surprising behavior by SSH. I usually access to a specific application through an SSH co ection. In fact, that app is installed on virtual-box on a workstation in a LAB. I use my laptop to co ect to the app through ssh. The co ection between virtual-box guest ubu...

How do I open an .sd image file
I do support for a dental office and they recently asked me for help accessing their old files. They have dozens of CDs full of these image files. No one seems to know what program created them - it's a bunch of older completely computer illiterate people). The only clues I can find when opening the...
Mac won't open sites after installing avast
Sorry if it's wrong place to ask a question like this. I installed Avast to fix a malware, and then all websites barring few (basically Google) won't open. I've uninstalled avast but the problem persists. I've checked Firewall, reset permissions using Onyx but the issue persists. I can open all site...
bind9 as local caching name server and /etc/resolv.conf
I'm trying to set up BIND9 as a local caching DNS server. I'm about to do that on all my systems: Linux, SmartOS, Mac OS X. Seems like it's quite easy to setup bind for that. My question is: Do I need to add "nameserver 127.0.0.1" to my /etc/resolv.conf in order to ask the local name server first? O...

Where is the taskbar file?
On my creaky old WinXP system, the shortcuts in the quick-launch taskbar keep getting resorted alphabetically. This happens every 2-3 months. I have about 50 shortcuts that are grouped according to what they do. The grouping makes it easy for me to find what I need, especially since several of them ...
