Link archive: Windows PSBits/PasswordStealing/NPPSpy at master · gtworek/PSBits
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/12
Simple (but fully working) code for
NPLogonNotify(). The function obtains logon data, including cleartext password.
[Wayback/Archive] PSBits/PasswordStealing/NPPSpy at master · gtworek/PSBits has been used in the wild since about 2022 (the code is from 2020).
The code is a ~100 line C file resulting in a DLL exporting the NPGetCaps() and NPLogonNotify() functions.

Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/11
I wish I had bumped into this page a way sooner as it contains most if not all the keyboard symbols I ever looked for: [Wayback/Archive] Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫
The page contains a lot more than just this diagram (which already is a great start):
⎋ ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = ⌫ ⎀ ⤒ ⇞ ⇥ Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ] \ ⌦ ⤓ ⇟ 🄰 A S D F G H J K L ; ' ↵ ⇧ Z X C V B N M , . / ⇧ ↑ ⎈ ❖ ⎇ ␣ ⎇ ❖ ▤ ⎈ ← ↓ → 🌐 ⌃ ⌥ ⌘
Some more symbols are at these pages:

CAPTCHA by Basic Apple Guy on X: “Find the Mac Pro (5th anniversary edition) 🔍 1949 cheese graters, 1 of them is a Mac Pro”

Next level CAPTCHA which AI engines fail at [Wayback/Archive] Basic Apple Guy on X: “Find the Mac Pro (5th anniversary edition) 🔍 1949 cheese graters, 1 of them is a Mac Pro”
The low res versions are impossible for me, and even the high-res picture is tough.
What is the smallest size you can find the Mac Pro? Picture on the right for reference.
Twitter picture sizes (I will explain them in a future blog post) via [Wayback/Archive] Tweet JSON:

How To Scale and Crop Images with CSS object-fit | DigitalOcean
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/11
[Wayback/Archive] How To Scale and Crop Images with CSS object-fit | DigitalOcean helped me to crop the picture in Florian Haas on Twitter: alias kubectl=”TZ=Etc/UTC kubectl”; You’re welcome.
The picture itself is 800 * 800 pixels (width * height), but the interesting bits are 400 * 200 around the center. Also it is a lot larger than I wanted.
So I embedded it using this HTML
<img class="alignnone size-full" style="width: 200px; height: 100px; object-fit: cover; object-position: 0 50%;" src="https://archive.ph/frSNu/0f0ebeeb5a4edf048577be89adb866344b303394.jpg" alt="" />
The width made it 25% the original size (because of [Wayback/Archive] object-fit value cover), and half the height so I had to move the [Wayback/Archive]object-position up 50%.
I found this via [Wayback/Archive] image inline css to crop top and bottom – Google Search.
That also found [Wayback/Archive] html – while display image crop Top and Bottom of image using css – Stack Overflow with an example at [Wayback/Archive] Edit fiddle – JSFiddle – Code Playground which is similar to the above solution.

Sometimes you need to see a tiny bit of code to have this “aha moment”. One for me was a few years back:

A Dutch friend got a 2nd hand Lenovo with a keyboard layout I didn’t know: searching for the special keys did not return results
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/09
TL;DR: it was a Dutch keyboard, which almost nobody in The Netherlands uses (US or US-International are the most used physical keyboard layouts over there)
I tried searching for keyboard layouts using Google with these special keys that were present on the keyboard (listing all keys that either have special symbols on them, or use the Alg-Gr modifier):
