"Chronicles of Metal Madness Chapter 01" by D4rcB1423

I just found this cool metal compilation

Title................: Chronicles of Metal Madness Chapter 01
Author...............: D4rcB1423
Genre................: Metal
Number of Songs......: 66

Audio Format.........: VBR


I'm a metal addicted, I always listen to metal, all kinds of metal (from the early days historical bands like Iron Maiden or Metallica to the widespread Hardcore influenced latest bands) so about a week ago I decided that it should have been a good idea to begin categorizing my beloved songs. I started to collect material: my project aims to build 10 CD each of them containing 66 songs (well, 10 CD ... 66 songs in each of them... the total is 666, wow ... an awesome collection don't you think so?). Instead of picking a single song from a band I also thought that it should have been better to include 2 songs for each band ... it should show the band's style in a more extensive and complete way (think about the changes during the career or, on the contrary, simply 2 great and totally different songs from the same album).
So, it's simple mathematics and it shouldn't be too difficult to understand: 33 bands in any CD ... wow 33 ... another cool number, there's something magic in this collection .. I know that ... This first chapter is very Hardcore oriented: there isn't a specific reason, ... I simply started this work while listening to a metalcore band and my mind was dragged into that kind of sound.
I tried to tag each mp3 in the best possible way: you'll find lyrics, the album front cover, myspace address, etc... And now a small clarification: you metal-heads, ... yes I'm talking to you, ahahah, ... I'm sure most of you have already listen to this stuff, ... yeah yeah ... you already know these bands, ... what the fuck ... let me enjoy building this fucking collection, motherfuckers, ahahahah ... now I have to go ...
Mom is coming ....

TinyXP Rev09 SP3 by eXPer1ence

________________________________________________________

eXPerience Presents...

Windows TinyXP Rev09
________________________________________________________

Thank you for trying TinyXP Rev09...

To install Windows TinyXP from this CD, set your PC up so it will boot from the CD-ROM in the PC's BIOS.

You cannot install TinyXP as an "upgrade" from within Windows.

This TinyXP now has a "Repair Option" (Option 9) where you can install Windows the way you want, your own username, regional and language options etc. One file was hacked in this untweaked "attended" version so that you can see the product key on the actual installation screen as you install Windows. The hacked file is for installation purposes only and never ends up on your system. This #9 option in the boot menu for XP is the same as option #2 except in #2 it is an unattended installation and in #9 it is a standard install where you need to click next, etc.

Or you can choose any of the other eight different flavours of TinyXP.
Options 1 to 8 are all unattended and vary in size and whether they install with the added drivers or not.

Only install TinyXP onto a freshly formatted partition or hard disk. There is no upgrade option available in TinyXP, because the option is removed. You do not need any product key in this release - the installation of TinyXP is unattended, once you choose the drive or partition on which to install TinyXP.

Even on option nine, the product key is filled in for you on the screen, you simply click next without having to type a key in.

All installations are set to US English.

________________________________________________________

When you boot from this CD you have the following options:

Choosing #1 at the main menu, gives you the following menu:

1 - TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
2 - TinyXP With IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
3 - TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
4 - TinyXP Without IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
5 - TinyXP BARE With IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
6 - TinyXP BARE With IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
7 - TinyXP BARE Without IE/OE/WMP (With Added Driverpacks)
8 - TinyXP BARE Without IE/OE/WMP (Without Added Driverpacks)
9 - TinyXP With Repair Option (Product Key Already Filled In)

Choosing #2 at the main menu, gives you the following menu:

1 - Acronis Backup + Restore (Safe For Vista)
2 - Damn Small Linux v4.3
3 - Hiren's BootCD v9.5
4 - SpinRite v6.0

Abbreviations from above:

IE ---> Internet Explorer
OE ---> Outlook Express
WMP ---> Windows Media Player

________________________________________________________

Installations 1 to 8 of TinyXP include the following items, which are all automatically installed along with Windows:

Service Pack 3 Final (Build 5512)
All Hotfixes Up To May 2008
DirectX DLL Libraries (24 to 36)
Flash Player v9.0.124.0 (IE) - / - Plugin DLL v9.0.124.0 (Firefox/Opera)
Royale Theme (Options 1 to 4) - / - Classic Theme (Options 5 to 8)

________________________________________________________

Here is a breakdown of the twelve options:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3:

For Microsoft fans...
Options 1, 2, 5 and 6 all include Internet Explorer Web Browser v6, Outlook Express Email Client and Windows Media Player v9. These older versions of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player are what would install with Windows XP by default. If you want to install the later versions of these programs (Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11) its no problem, those installers are in the EXTRAS folder on the CD to be applied after Options 1,2,5 or 6 have been installed. The IE7 and WMP11 installers are silent (just double click the file once to install) and they even install the post IE7 and WMP11 hotfixes! Windows XP is completely up to date and as Bill Gates intended.

For people who don't like Microsoft programs...
Options 3, 4, 7 and 8 do not include Internet Explorer, Outlook Express or Windows Media Player. Mozilla Firefox v3.0 is included to replace Internet Explorer. There are no replacements in these options to Outlook Express or Windows Media Player. You can just use your own programs like Mozilla Thunderbird to replace Outlook Expess and Winamp/VLC/MPC to play audio and video files.

For people who want the most features...
Options 1, 2, 3, and 4 are as full as this Windows XP could possibly be made, while still fitting everything onto a 700Mb CD. You still have System Restore, games, almost every single service. The only removed services are removed because they are annoying, not to save space, all functionality is still there. All services are set to their default settings. This is the recommended installation, the first option, because it is the most complete one - with added drivers too.

For people who want a smaller faster leaner BARE installation...
Options 5, 6, 7, and 8 are as stripped as Windows XP can be made without losing vital functionality like local networking. Bear in mind that a lot of components are removed from these options! For example, games, themes, even Windows Firewall is removed. These BARE options still support printers, scanners, cameras etc and these installations still include MDAC, Jet Database, COM+. These are smaller installs but they are still reasonably functional, 99% in fact!

Automatic Driver Installation...
Options 1, 3, 5 and 7 include drivers to cover the following:
Broadband
Chipset
CPU
Input (Mice, Keyboards)
LAN Ethernet
Monitors
SATA & Mass Storage
Scanners
Sound Cards
TV cards
Wireless LAN

No Drivers Included...
Options 2, 4, 6 and 8 do not contain those drivers - this is in case you have SATA problems with options 1, 3, 5, or 7, or if you just want to install your own drivers.

Repair Option...
Option 9 is the same TinyXP as option 2 but option 9 is not unattended.
You will need to click "Next" and "OK" a few times whilst it installs. This is here so you can boot into the "Repair Option" from the CD. When Windows is unattended like in options 1 to 8, you do not get this "Repair Option". You might need it one day.

________________________________________________________

Live Rescue Options:

Acronis Backup + Restore...
Option 1 on the rescue menu allows you to backup your existing partition(s) before installing Windows, or you can quickly restore a backup made previously with Acronis.

Damn Small Linux v4.3...
This has to be one of the best things ever created in the world of computing! Option 2 is a 50Mb live Linux environment with the ability to connect to the internet from within the Linux environment. Includes Mozilla Firefox web browser and many other tools. What would you do if you totally lost your Windows install and had to get online to troubleshoot the problem? This is where Damn Small Linux comes in.
NOTE: You might get an SCSI problem when booting into this Damn Small Linux, if this happens, type "dsl noscsi" (without quotes) when you are loading Linux and it will work. You may need to type this command to boot Damn Small Linux in VMware. There is a Damn Small Linux text file in the DOCS folder on the CD.

Hirens Boot CD v9.5...
Option 3 allows you to boot into Hirens Boot CD version 9.5. This is a massive collection of more then 200 tools! Including Partition Tools, Disk Clone Tools, Antivirus Tools, Recovery Tools, Testing Tools, RAM (Memory) Testing Tools, Hard Disk Tools, System Information Tools, MBR (Master Boot Record) Tools, BIOS / CMOS Tools, MultiMedia Tools, Password Tools, NTFS, Ext2FS, Ext3FS (FileSystems) Tools, Dos File Managers, Dos Tools and Windows Tools. You can boot into Hiren's and have access to Norton Partition Magic, Paragon Partition Manager, EasyRecovery... please see the Hirens text file that is in the DOCS
folder on the CD for the full list of tools included in the Hirens Boot CD.

SpinRite v6.0...
SpinRite attempts to recover data from damaged portions of hard disks that might not be readable via the operating system. When it encounters a sector with errors that cannot be corrected by the disk drive's error correcting code, it tries to read the sector up to 2000 times, and tries to determine the most probable value of each bit by comparing the results. The data is then saved onto a new block of the same disk.

________________________________________________________

EXTRAS folder (CD)

This folder contains:

Internet Explorer 7 Silent Installer
Windows Media Player 11 Silent Installer
eXPerience Registry Tweaks 2008

________________________________________________________

ISO folder (CD)

If you want to make standalone ISO's of any of the nine Windows XP installations, you can do this by running one of the batch files included in the ISO folder on the CD.

You can also make a separate ISO with the four rescue options (Acronis + Damn Small Linux + Hiren's BootCD + SpinRite)

See the ISO folder for more info.

-----------------------------------------------
HOW TO MAKE A SEPERATE ISO WITHOUT BURNING A CD
-----------------------------------------------

You can use any of these programs:

Daemon Tools (free)
Alcohol 120% (not free)
UltraISO (not free)

Lets use Daemon Tools as an example - install Daemon Tools and mount the main ISO file of TinyXP_Rev09. Now open the virtual drive and open the ISO folder. Simply click any BAT file to make an ISO.

This is also especially useful if you downloaded a DVD but only have a CD player, as long as the DVD in question allows you to create standalone ISO files ;)

________________________________________________________

OEM folder (CD)

If you want to install the drivers on this CD independently of installing Windows, this is now possible by running one BAT file. In the OEM folder on the CD you will find a file called:

INSTALL DRIVERS.bat

Run this INSTALL DRIVERS.bat file and sit back whilst the process unpacks
the drivers, then tries to find any drivers you might need installing, then installs the drivers, then removes the initial drivers that were extracted, because they are not needed afterwards.

You can run this INSTALL DRIVERS.bat file anytime, on any x86 Windows XP.

Do not move the BAT file from the OEM folder. If the BAT file is not left where it is inside the OEM folder, it will not work.

________________________________________________________

eXPerience folder (Desktop)

Most of these folders contain quick solutions to things that otherwise would be buried away in the Windows GUI or require DOS style commands. E.g. "control userpasswords2" will open the screen to change your Windows XP login password, or "intl.cpl" runs the "Regional and Language Options" from Control Panel.

FOLDERS:

Desktop Icon Layout - Allows you to save your icon setup on the Desktop.
Hibernation - Turns Hibernation on/off with one double click.
Keyboard Settings - Quick way to open "Regional and language Options"
Program Links - Download links to many great programs, all freeware.
Registry Backup - Easily backup your registry in one double click.
Services Configuration Files - Configure Windows to use less RAM.
ShrinkXP Scripts - Removal of components whilst Windows is running.
User Password - Easily change your password for Windows.


________________________________________________________

Removed Items:

The breakdown of items removed is far too long to list here.

Instead, think about which option you chose (the number) for example option 3. So then go to this folder:

ROOT\0003\$OEM$\nLite

In that nLite folder you will find a "Last Session.ini" file for nLite.

This file lists every component that is removed. If the item is not in the list then the feature is still present in Windows.

TinyMCE

it's beautiful, a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) HTML editor in Javascript: think of all the contexts in which these kind of applications are used (web based E-mail clients, etc...) ... there are several projects of the same type, ... well ... Tiny MCE beats them all; it's so advanced, it has a lot of functionality, ... and not to forget the several examples with full source code. Oh, I was almost forgetting that it is an open source project.

Windows Icon files (.ICO)

I gathered a set of articles which can be useful for anybody that is interested in Windows Icon files (.ICO). It may seem a simple matter but ICO files are a slightly complex world; I found myself having to deal with these concepts during the implementation of a Windows .exe crypter: the extraction of ICO from a .exe and its assignment to another .exe isn't a trivial issue.

JWPlayer

home: http://www.longtailvideo.com
wiki: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac

JW Player has become the most used video player on the internet. It comes in two flavors, the JW FLV Player for Flash and the JW WMV Player for Silverlight. The player is completely open-source and free for noncommercial use. For corporate use, 30-euros commercial licenses are available.

JW FLV Player for Flash

http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

current version: 4.3

The JW FLV Player is the Internet’s most popular and flexible media player. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports RTMP, HTTP, live streaming, various playlists formats, a wide range of settings and an extensive javascript API.

The skinning functionality allows you to completely customize its look and its plugin architecture allows you to easily extend the player with features such as sharing, recommendations, searching, analytics and ad serving. You can already find a string of plugins at the LongTail Video site.

JW WMM Player for Silverlight

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_WMV_Player

current version: 1.1

The JW WMV Player (built with Silverlight) is a simple, flexible player for displaying Windows Media video, audio and (live) streams on your website. While not yet as widely installed nor feature-rich as Flash, Silverlight is excellent for publishers who have content encoded in WMV or WMA. The player features a similar list of variables as the JW FLV Player, with the exception of playlist support. The 1.1 version also introduces a javascript API.

Creddump

Creddump is a Freeware/Opensource set of tools written in Python allowing to retrieve system informations that Windows would like to keep hidden from our prying eyes:

• LM and NT hashes (SYSKEY protected)
• Cached domain passwords
• LSA secrets

these infos are stored encrypted inside the Windows Registry. Creddump is the only application to combine all the following features:

1) it returns all the above infos
2) it extracts these infos directly from the Registry files (offline retrieval)
3) it's Freeware/OpenSource
4) it's Cross-Platform (any platform with a supported Python compiler)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OVERVIEW

creddump is a python tool to extract various credentials and secrets from Windows registry hives. It currently extracts:

* LM and NT hashes (SYSKEY protected)
* Cached domain passwords
* LSA secrets

It essentially performs all the functions that bkhive/samdump2, cachedump, and lsadump2 do, but in a platform-independent way.

It is also the first tool that does all of these things in an offline way (actually, Cain & Abel does, but is not open source and is only available on Windows).

REQUIREMENTS

alldump has only been tested on python 2.5. It should work on 2.4 as well, but will likely need modification before it will work on 2.3 or below.

python-crypto is required for its MD5/DES/RC4 support. To obtain it, see:

http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto

For lsadump: system and SECURITY hives
For cachedump: system and SECURITY hives
For pwdump: system and SAM hives

USAGE

Dump cached domain hashes:
usage: ./cachedump.py

Dump LSA secrets:
usage: ./lsadump.py

Dump local password hashes:
usage: ./pwdump.py

FEATURES

* Platform independent operation. The only inputs are the hive files from the system--we don't rely on any Windows functionality at all.
* Open-source and (hopefully!) readble implementations of Windows obfuscation algorithms used to protect LSA secrets, cached domain passwords, and
* A reasonably forgiving registry file parser in pure Python. Look through framework/types.py and framework/win32/rawreg.py to see how it works.
* The first complete open-source implementation of advapi32's SystemFunction005. The version in the Wine source code does not appear to allow for keys longer than 7 bytes, while the Windows version (and this version) does. See decrypt_secret() in framework/win32/lsasecrets.py

Pass-The-Hash Toolkit

(Freeware/OpenSource)

Home: http://oss.coresecurity.com/projects/pshtoolkit.htm

Blog: http://hexale.org/forums/

current version: 1.4 (July 2, 2008)

********************************
What is Pass-The-Hash Toolkit?


The Pass-The-Hash Toolkit contains utilities to manipulate the Windows Logon Sessions mantained by the LSA (Local Security Authority) component. These tools allow you to list the current logon sessions with its corresponding NTLM credentials (e.g.: users remotely logged in thru Remote Desktop/Terminal Services), and also change in runtime the current username, domain name, and NTLM hashes (YES, PASS-THE-HASH on Windows!).


Utilities in the toolkit:

• IAM.EXE/IAM-ALT.EXE:
  Pass-The-Hash for Windows. These tools allows you to change your current NTLM credentials withouth having the cleartext password but the hashes of the password. The program receives a username, domain name and the LM and NT hashes of the password; using this it will change in memory the NTLM credentials associated with the current windows logon session. After the program performs this operation, all outbound network connections to services that use for authentication the NTLM credentials of the currently logged on user will utilize the credentials modified by IAM.EXE. This includes 'net use', 'net view', many third-party DCOM services that use NTLM authentication, etc. This is basically 'pass-the-hash' for windows; one of the main advantages is that you don't need to use a modified version of samba or samba-tng and be restricted to the limited functionality they implement, you can now use windows and any third-party software with stolen hashes withouth having to obtain the cleartext version of a password. For more information take a look at this paper I wrote back in 2000 Modifying Windows NT Logon Credentials.
• WHOSTHERE.EXE/WHOSTHERE-ALT.EXE:
  These tools will list logon sessions with NTLM credentials (username,domain name, LM and NT hashes). Logon sessions are created by windows services that log in using specific users, remote desktop connections, etc. This tool has many uses, one that i think is interesting: Let's say you compromised a Windows Server that is part of a Windows Domain (e.g.: Backup server) but is NOT the domain controller. Since it is not the domain controller, you only have access to the local SAM and although you did effectively comprise a sensitive server you did not compromise the domain. However, it is very common in such situations to find that administrators are using Remote Desktop to connect to the compromised server to perform different tasks. So this is your chance, just wait for the administrator to log into the compromised server using remote desktop, at that point, run 'WHOSTHERE.EXE' and you will observe the administrators username,domain name, and NTLM hashes. Now go to your machine, use them with IAM.EXE and compromise the domain controller using the administrator's credentials.
• GENHASH.EXE:
  This is a small utility that generates LM and NT hashes using some 'undocumented' functions of the Windows API. This is a small tool to aid testing of IAM.EXE.

Setup


Quick start:There's not much to be done, extract the .tgz file and have fun!.

Requirements

• You can compile the tools using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/). Minor modifications might be needed to compile them using other C compilers.
• You must have Administrator privileges to run these tools (except for genhash.exe).
• IAM.EXE was mostly tested on WinXP and Windows Server 2003, although it should also work on Vista. WHOSTHERE.EXE now works correctly on Windows Server 2003. Support for Vista will be added.

Cleartext Passwords in Linux Memory

(Jun 11, 2008)
http://philosecurity.org/research/cleartext-passwords-linux

During the last few months I’ve investigated Linux memory, and consistently found cleartext passwords– including my login, SSH, email, IM, Truecrypt, and root passwords. The following paper includes details regarding each password’s location in memory and surrounding context.

Cleartext Passwords in Linux Memory (pdf)

Given the recent developments with cold boot memory dumping, the risk associated with cleartext passwords and other sensitive data in memory has significantly increased. Last week at HOPE Jacob Appelbaum released some of the cold boot tools which the Princeton, EFF and Wind River team used to dump and analyze memory.
My hope is that detailed information about cleartext passwords will be useful to forensic examiners and the Linux development community. For folks who would like to examine the data for themselves, below are a some snippets of process memory that I collected from my Ubuntu test system.
Each zipfile contains a pcat capture of process memory, as well as files containing the Ascii and Unicode strings. In the GDM process memory, you’ll find the login username, password, and shadow file information. In the Truecrypt process memory, you’ll find the volume location, password, and the command used to mount it.

There’s other interesting stuff in there as well.

GDM process memory (.zip, 6.0M)
login username: myname1
password: !1MyPwd1!

Truecrypt process memory (.zip, 7.5M)

SSMM - Slide Show Movie Maker

http://www.joern-thiemann.de/tools/SSMM/index.html

This is a cool and easy to use Freeware software that allows you to build movies from a set of pictures; it features great transitional effects from a picture to the next, the possibility to add a soundtrack, and more ...

Slide Show Movie Maker is a free program that can create an AVI-file from a series of .bmp or .jpg images. Images can have professional-looking fade-in and fade-out effects plus attractive text overlays. The program's clean-looking interface is logically laid out; you should become productive within just a few minutes of running it. Keep in mind that .avi files can become quite large and take a long time to render. However, Slide Show Maker lets you choose to save output using any one of your system's installed .avi codecs, so the file size and generation time will vary depending upon which one you choose.

VPatch - Free Patch Generator

Homepage: http://www.tibed.net/vpatch/

VPatch is a Freeware/OpenSource application that allows you to create a patch file to update previous versions of a given file.

current version: 3.2 (January 2008)

**********************************
VPatch 3.2

Introduction

VPatch allows to create a patch file to update previous versions of your software. The GenPat utility generates the patch file. The plug-in can use the patch to update a file. Using a patch, you can reduce the download size of your updates, because only the differences between the files are included in the patch file.

How to use

Generate the patch file

Make sure you have the source file (original version) and the target file (version to update to). For example, DATA.DTA (currently on user system) and DATA_20.DTA (version 2.0 of this data file). Now call the command line tool GenPat.exe:

GENPAT oldfile.txt newfile.txt patch.pat

Now, the patch will be generated, this will take some time.

Using the /B=(BlockSize) parameter of the GenPat utility (put it after the filenames), you can use a different block size. A smaller block size may result in a smaller patch, but the generation will take more time (the default blocksize is 64).

If you have trouble using this command-line utility, you can download a GUI (graphical user interface) for VPatch from its own website: http://www.tibed.net/vpatch.

Update the file during installation

Use the VPatch plug-in to update a file using a patch file:

vpatch::vpatchfile "patch.pat" "oldfile.txt" "temporary_newfile.txt"

The result of the patch operating will be added to the stack and can be one of the following texts:

• OK
• OK, new version already installed
• An error occurred while patching
• Patch data is invalid or corrupt
• No suitable patches were found

Check example.nsi for an example. You should check whether the stack string starts with "OK" because then the patch has succeeded and you can rename "temporary_newfile.txt" to "oldfile.txt" to replace the original, if you want.

Multiple patches in one file

GenPat appends a patch to the file you specified. If there is already a patch for the same original file, with the same CRC/MD5, in the patch file, the patch will be replaced. For example, if you want to be able to upgrade version 1 and 2 to version 3, you can put a 1 > 3 and 2 > 3 patch in one file.

You can also put patches for different files in one patch file, for example, a patch from file A version 1 to file A version 2 and a patch from file B version 1 to file B version 2. Just call the plug-in multiple times with the same patch file. It will automatically select the right patch (based on the file CRC).

Patch generator (GenPat) exit codes

In version 3 the following exit codes (known as error levels in the DOS period) can be returned by GenPat. GenPat will return an exit code based on success of the patch generation. Here is a list of the possible exit codes:

Exit code <-> Description
0 <-> Success
1 <-> Arguments missing
2 <-> Other error
3 <-> Source file already has a patch in specified patch file (ERROR), use /R switch to override

These exit codes can be useful when you generate patch files through a NSIS script.


Source code

Source code is available in the original package and in the SVN repository of NSIS.

NSIS plug-in (C++)

The source of the NSIS plug-in that applies patches can be found in the Source\Plugin folder.

Patch Generator (C++)

The most interesting part of VPatch, the actual patch generation algorithm, can be found in Source\GenPat32\PatchGenerator.cpp. The header of that file contains a brief explanation of the algorithm as well.

User interface (Delphi)

A user interface is included as well, which you will have to build yourself because the GUI executable was too large to include. Besides Borland Delphi 6 or higher (you can use the freely available Personal edition), you will also need to install the VirtualTreeView component by Mike Lischke.

Test framework (Python)

Run the VPatch_tests.py script (if you have Python installed) to perform basic functionality tests on VPatch. The testExtended test is known to fail if a set of big test files is not installed, you can safely ignore this.

3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any distribution.

and now some insight:

Using the interface

Step 1. Start the interface (VPatchGUI.exe).
Step 2. Hit the "Add new version" button. Now, select the latest version of your file. Right after that, another file selection screen pops up. Now, select all older versions of your file (which need to be updated).
Step 3. You're set, you can add more files if you want through the "Add new version" button.
Step 4. Configuration: By default a "Block size" of 64 is configured. If you make it smaller, you will get smaller patch files. You can set this to 16 to squeeze out even that last byte, but applying the patch file can get slower when using such small block sizes. Also, memory usage during patch generation will be higher.
Step 5. Hit "Generate patches" from the Action menu. Your patches are now being generated.
Step 6. If you select "Create patch file" now, the program will create an PAT which contains the information needed to update all old files to new versions. This PAT file can be used to update files. If you want to do this with NSIS, see the other readme file. If you want to use it standalone, you should create an EXE file instead of a PAT file. However, the recommended way to use patches with NSIS now uses plugins, see the other readme for info about that.

• The 'Create PAT' option is for creating a patch for use with NSIS 2
• The 'Create EXE' option is for creating a patch attached to a stand-alone EXE. Read below for steps on how to use this command-line patch.
• The 'Create DLL' option is for creating a patch attached to a stand-alone DLL (useful for Inno Setup)

Using command-line utilities

Step 1: Creating the patch file(s)

Make sure you have the source file (original version) and the target file (version to update to). For example, I have DATA.DTA (currently on user system) and DATA_20.DTA (v2.0 of this data file). Now call GenPat.exe:

GENPAT (sourcefile) (targetfile) (patchfile)

In my example, I use the following call:

GENPAT data.dta data_20.dta data.pat

Now, the patch will be generated. This will take some time. You can repeat
this step for multiple different files:

GENPAT title.pcx title2.pcx data.pat

Note: GenPat returns an error code if something went wrong as of v2.1. Please see the other readme for a description of these error codes.

Step 2: Piecing things together

The patch files created in step 1 should now be attached to the VPatch runtime. Or read the alternative step 2 below. Once attached, you can run this file on the target system and it will update the files. In order to piece the patch files together, use VAppend.exe:

VAPPEND (patchfile) [output file] [runtime]

This will create a file called VPatch.exe by default, which is the actual patch. The default runtime is VPatch.bin. In my example:

VAPPEND data.pat

So this is the same call as:

VAPPEND data.pat vpatch.exe vpatch.bin

Note that "vpatch.bin" corresponds to "Create EXE" in the GUI and that "vpatchdll.bin" corresponds to "Create DLL" in the GUI. The stand-alone patch (which is not attached to a runtime) is the one you get if you use "Create PAT" in the GUI.

Step 3: How to use it (the command-line EXE version)

If you want to use your patch in NSIS, please read the other readme. This description is about the stand-alone EXE version.
Now that the patch is ready, you (could) use it. You can call VPatch.exe in the following way:

VPATCH.EXE (sourcefile) (outputfile)

IMPORTANT: You must specify the full filename of VPatch, so VPatch.exe. If you call it using just "VPatch" then you will get an error.
In the example this would be:

VPATCH.EXE data.dta data.new

This way, VPatch will use data.dta and patch it. It will create data.new, which contains the new version. The original data.dta isn't touched. If the file data.new isn't created, an error must have occured.
If you have multiple files attached, you can make multiple calls to VPatch. The program will automatically choose the correct patch for the file:

VPATCH.EXE data.dta data.new
VPATCH.EXE title.pcx title.out

Step 2 (alternative): stand-alone runtime and patch

If you do not want to attach your patch file to a runtime, you can also use it in a more stand-alone manner using the VPatchPrompt.exe runtime. This runtime will first check if it has a patch attached and, if it does not, it will take the patch file as the first command-line argument:

VPATCHPROMPT.EXE (patchfile) (sourcefile) (outputfile)

Another feature of this runtime is that it will prompt the user for a filename, if a command-line argument is not specified. Therefore, if you call VPatchPrompt without arguments, you will be prompted for all three command-line options (or, if you have attached a patch to the VPatchPrompt runtime using VAppend, it will only prompt for the source and output files).

NTFS-3G

The NTFS-3G driver is a freely and commercially available and supported read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Solaris, Haiku, and other operating systems. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems.

NTFS-3G develops, quality tests and supports a trustable, feature rich and high performance solution for hardware platforms and operating systems whose users need to reliably interoperate with NTFS.

The driver is in STABLE status since 2007. It is used by millions of desktop computers, consumer devices for reliable data exchange, and referenced in more than 20 computer books. Please see our test methods and testimonials on the driver quality page.

it is also used in the current release of the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD

2008-08-02

• Now uses NTFS-3g as NTFS filesystem driver.
• This hopefully removes some problems regarding dirty and "bad flags" NTFS volumes.
• You will be asked if you like to force your way and continue anyway if the disk has been uncleanly shut down.
• There exists a small chance of problems with the very latest written files before the unclean shutdown if you select to force it.
• Safest is still to boot into windows and shut down properly if that is possible with an unclean volume.
• Path select now hopefully better at detecting default suggestion and to actually find it...
• Newer kernel, and probably newer and better drivers.
• No changes to the passord/registry edit program (chntpw) since last release.
• Sorry, did not have the time to finish the floppy version yet.

Current stable version: 1.5130 (November 30, 2008)
Current test version: 1.5222-RC (December 22, 2008)
