Generate a GUID in Windows 10 (Globally Unique Identifier)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/20
A while ago, I needed to generate GUIDs on any Windows console so performed a [Wayback/Archive] generate guid windows terminal – Google Search, found [Wayback/Archive] Generate a GUID in Windows 10 (Globally Unique Identifier) and came up with this generate-guid.bat file:
powershell [guid]::NewGuid()

Bookmarklet idea: find Wikipedia entry for currently selected text, then (when editing in WordPress) make the selected text link to it
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/05
Two stage bookmarklet idea (so if will be easier to create this in an agile fashion):
- create a bookmarklet that looks up the currently selected text in Wikipedia (or another source)
- modify the current selection to link to that Wikipedia entry (convenient when editing blog posts)
Hopefully these links will help me getting started:

The state of malware today: From Highly Obfuscated Batch File to XWorm and Redline – SANS Internet Storm Center
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/10
A very interesting read, where it keeps me wondering how batch files like these are being generated (making them by hand feels very surreal): [Wayback/Archive] From Highly Obfuscated Batch File to XWorm and Redline – SANS Internet Storm Center
VirusTotal entry: [Wayback/Archive] VirusTotal – File – 453c017e02e6ce747d605081ad78bf210b3d0004a056d1f65dd1f21c9bf13a9a
The day after the article was written, only Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm detected it; in the past ZoneAlarm used the Kaspersky engine, but that stopped a while ago: [Wayback/Archive] ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus Review | PCMag.
The malware uses at least these technologies:

Downloading a file from the Windows console without first installing a command-line tool
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/09
Note that the below methods likely will cause security warnings if a Windows machine has been properly configured, but in most cases at least one of them works.
- using cURL (Widows 10 and up)
curl --url https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin --output %TEMP%\100MB.bin - using [Wayback/Archive]
certutil| Microsoft Docs (at least Windows 7 and up; needs UAC elevation)
certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin %TEMP%\100MB.bin - using PowerShell (at least Windows Vista and up)
powershell.exe -Command (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin','%TEMP%\100MB.bin')
I think it works for all versions of curl, certutil, and PowerShell though I did not have anything older than up-to-date Windows 7 (having PowerShell version 3) and recent to test on.

Online Paste to Markdown (in JavaScript + HTML)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/08
Apparently I was living under a stone since the 2015 introduction of [Wayback/Archive] Paste to Markdown:
Paste to Markdown
Instructions
- Find the text to convert to Markdown (e.g., in another browser tab)
- Copy it to the clipboard (
Ctrl+C, or⌘+Con Mac)- Paste it into this window (
Ctrl+V, or⌘+Von Mac)- The converted Markdown will appear!
The conversion is carried out by to-markdown, a Markdown converter written in JavaScript and running locally in the browser.
The “to-markdown” I did already know (see A few HTML to Markdown converters written in javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP and C#) but has been renamed from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – domchristie/to-markdown: An HTML to Markdown converter written in JavaScript into then “turndown” repository below.

Reminder to self write a JavaScript NoDrives encoder/decoder on a web-page
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/01
A long time ago, I wrote about How to hide an entire drive from prying eyes on Windows 10 | Windows Central.
The easiest way is still to add/modify a NoDrives value in the Registry, but regrettably [WayBack] NT Drive Calculator – The ‘NoDrives’ Registry Key Value Calculator is down (it was a server-side solution, so the WayBack Machine link does display a page, but the calculator does not function).
My use case is that I have an existing NoDrives value that I want to update (as there have been one or more drive letters added/changed).

Hopefully by now the choco client will be more resilient and informative about Chocolatey maintenance windows (and maybe even about any disruptions mentioned at status.chocolatey.org)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/19
Reminder to check-out of the 2015 issue mentioned in the tweets below has been had any progress.
At the time of tweeting, choco has no notion of [Wayback/Archive] status.chocolatey.org which would be very helpful to point to in case of errors on time-outs on chocolatey server calls especially if it could interrogate and inform of maintenance windows and outages when things fail on the client side.

View DOM Source bookmarklet
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/12
This is cool as it shows the page source not as it was first loaded, but from how it is currently rendered which includes all post-load modifications by any scripts: [Wayback/Archive] View DOM Source bookmarklet.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Martin Splitt on Twitter: “I made a bookmarklet to view the rendered source (aka the DOM) of a page. 👀 🚀 Works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and possibly others, too. 🌈 Beautifies the code 🎨 Includes syntax highlighting 💻 Get the bookmarklet at 👉 experiments.geekonaut.de/view-dom-source 👈”
