#There are powershell and registry ways to do so

Microsoft rolled out that Recall bullshit, and guess what fun little fact about it we have? Windows 10 isn't safe either and a lot of people are sticking with it as long as possible. Interestingly (and I say that with absolute sarcasm saturation), my computer was already opted in. Go turn it off or remove it if you know how.

And now all the search engines are being replaced by AI. I have spent twenty years trying to talk people to go to libraries and check their beliefs against records, and now we face a future without libraries and endless artificially generated idiocy.

There was an argument in the Australian Parliament when Julia Gillard was PM. She accused her opponent of being a misogynist. He pointed out it was a fact that he was not. So the next day the dictionary was edited to 'correct' it, to align with her opinion of what it should be, so she could now label him a misogynist and pretend her definition had always been true.

The trouble with manually removing AI from windows is MS can undo your changes at any time.

Completely remove Microsoft Bing Chat AI from your Windows 11 PC and sidebar.

Open the PowerShell application with administrator privileges. You can do this by searching for "PowerShell" in the Start menu, right-clicking on the result, and selecting "Run as Administrator."

In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage bing | Remove-AppxPackage

Wait for the command to execute. This command will uninstall any app packages related to Bing, including the Bing Chat AI. Once it completes, the Bing Chat AI should be removed from your Windows 11 PC.

To remove the Bing Chat AI integration in the Taskbar search, you can disable it using the steps below:

Open the Settings app in Windows 11. You can do this by pressing the Windows key, searching for "Settings," and selecting the "Settings" app.

Click on "Privacy & Security" in the left sidebar.

Under the "Windows permissions" section, click on "Search permissions."

In the "More settings" section, toggle off the "Show Search highlights" option. This will disable the Bing Chat AI integration in the Taskbar search.

After following these steps, the Bing Chat AI should be removed from the Taskbar search and the search home interface in Windows 11.

(This did not disable it but did disable the AI use of the search results in Windows 11 See the next step below to also disable the physical button integration.

Do both steps.)

Manual removal by component:

Page 2: Remove Bing Chat integrated into Microsoft Edge Explorer:

Disclaimer: If you are not comfortable using the registry editor, stop here. If you’re unfamiliar and willing to try anyway, the simplest way to look at this is a set of folders. Each has a parent folder; each folder can contain files. The view is like the windows explorer expanding directories with different naming conventions. It’s rather complicated but simplistic in nature.

How to remove the Bing Chat integration from Microsoft Edge Explorer on Windows, first follow the instructions provided in the first source mentioned:

((Silly AI, Step 1: Back up the registry: Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ click on the menu bar file, select export, select the destination for the backup file and name the file then save it.))

Open Registry Editor on your PC.

Navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft.

If the “Edge.” Folder exists go to step 5.

Right-click inside the Microsoft folder and choose New, then Key.

Name the new Key (folder) as "Edge".

Right-click inside the Edge folder and select New, then DWORD (32-bit value).

Name the new DWORD as "HubsSidebarEnabled".

Right-click on HubsSidebarEnabled and click Modify.

Ensure the Value data is set to 0.

That's all the work in the Registry. Next, open Microsoft Edge and enter "edge://policy" in the address bar.

Click on the "Reload Policies" button, and the Bing Chat button will now disappear from the Microsoft Edge Explorer window.

These steps should help you remove the Bing Chat button from your Microsoft Edge Explorer window.

Please note that modifying the registry can have unintended consequences if not done correctly, so it's essential to be cautious and comfortable with the process. Additionally, it's always a good idea to back up your registry or create a system restore point before making any changes.

Page 3: Remove Bing from the Windows Start Bar.

If "Show Search highlights" setting was already disabled, and the Bing Chat button is still visible on your start menu bar. Here's an alternative method you can try to remove the Bing Chat button:

((Silly AI, Step 1: Back up the registry: Select the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ click on the menu bar file, select export, select the destination for the backup file and name the file then save it.))

Open the Registry Editor by searching for "Registry" in the Start Menu and selecting the "Registry Editor" app.

Navigate to the following location in the Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

If this folder does not exist, you can create it manually by right-clicking on the parent folder “Windows��� and selecting "New" > "Key." Then, name the new key "Explorer" as instructed inside the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\' directory.

Right-click on the "Explorer" folder, choose "New," and then select "DWORD (32-bit) Value" from the context menu.

Name the new DWORD value as "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" (without quotes) and press Enter.

Double-click on the "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" value you just created and set its value data to "1."

Click "OK" to save the changes.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

After restarting, the Bing Chat button should be removed from the start menu bar. If you want to re-enable it in the future, you can return to the Registry Editor and change the value of "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" to "0" or simply delete the DWORD value.

Instead of listing every reason why I hate windows, I am going tell the tale of the straw that broke the camel's back.

Background: When I was using Windows for my main PC, I would do an entire fresh install every 6 months because weird unexplainable issues would crop up and frustrate me. I think windows updates would corrupt some important file somewhere or something. Regardless of the actual issue, it wasn't worth the time to troubleshoot as a drive nuke is faster. I keep all important files on a NAS anyways.

Issue: I don't know if its still the case but at the time of my most recent windows reinstall, I found out that your account name would become the first 5 characters of your email when installing win11 with a Microsoft account. There was no option to change in setup. The email used for my Microsoft account is microsoft@[custom email domain].com so my account name was "micro". I did not want to be "micro" so I followed a guide to change my account name by changing a registry key (since there was no other way to change it). That broke my windows so hard that it refused to post until I did a factory reset on my motherboard. (needless to say the windows install was unsalvageable)

Meanwhile on Linux, I really appreciate the fact that I don't need to paste

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System' -Name EnableLinkedConnections -Value 1 -PropertyType 'DWord'

into powershell in order access admin directories on my NAS. Linux permissions are so much easier to mange.

You can also download and install ShowKeyPlus, a free program. You can download the open-source program from GitHUB and then transfer it onto an USB stick. Once you have it, you can scan your computer for the reddit windows product key.

You can also use an Linux live DVD. In this way, you'll be able to take the registry data from the dead PC, which you can later import into a functional PC. However, keep in mind that this method could be messy, so you should only do it if you're unsure of what to do.

The Command Prompt will prompt you to locate the product key

If you've recently upgraded or installed to Windows 10 and you're having issues, you might need to find the Windows 10 product key. The Windows 10 product key is an alphanumeric, unique 25-character code you can use to activate new installations of Microsoft's operating system.

For a lot of Windows 10 users, finding the Windows 10 product key can be a difficult task. The product key isn't usually placed on the device by the manufacturer. It can however be found in a variety of sources. It is possible to locate the key in a variety of ways, but you have to locate it.

Windows Command Prompt is the most effective method of finding the Windows 10 product code. It's a quick and easy method of doing the trick. Just make sure you're running the command as an administrator.

You can find the reddit windows key on a variety of different locations. You can first examine the firmware of the computer's UEFI system. You can also make use of PowerShell to retrieve the information.

You can also get the windows 10 product key from an application that is third party. Although this isn't as secure as locating the key manually, it's still a quick and simple way to retrieve the key for your product.

Finding the product key after upgrading from an earlier version of Windows

It is sometimes difficult to locate the key to upgrade from an older version of Windows. It's possible to restore Windows with a product key.

Product key is a 25-character alphanumeric code. It is located on the back or front cover of your PC. It can also be found within your BIOS. It is possible to enable Windows depending on the system you have.

If you're unsure of where to begin, it's a good idea to check the documentation package for your computer. It will contain the software discs and details about your personal computer.

If your manufacturer doesn't provide a documentation pack then you ought to get a copy from your PC supplier. Some of them even send them by email.

If you've recently installed the latest version of Windows, one method of locating the product key is to look at the authenticity certificate. The certificate of authenticity, a sticker that looks like the shape of a hologram, is glued to the computer's chassis.

Another option is to verify the order history of the computer. The product key for an online retailer must have been sent to your email address.

Welcome to this exhilarating tutorial on how to deploy and use Quarkus in Kubernetes. Kubernetes is one of the open-source tools currently preferred when automating system deployments. It makes it easy to scale and manage containerized applications. Kubernetes works by distributing workloads across the cluster and automating the container networking needs. Also, storage and persistent volumes are allocated, by doing so the desired state of container applications is continuously maintained. Quarkus offers provides an easy way to automatically generate the Kubernetes resources based on some defaults and the user-provided configuration. This Kubernetes-native Java framework also provides an extension used to build and push container images to a registry before the application is deployed to the target. Another feature about Quarkus is that it enabled one to use the Kubernetes ConfigMap as a configuration source without mounting them on the pod. The cool features associated with Quarkus are: Community and Standards: It provides a cohesive and fun-to-use full-stack framework by leveraging a growing list of over fifty best-of-breed libraries that you love and use Container First: It offers amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory (not just heap size!) offering near-instant scale-up and high density memory utilization in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes Unifies imperative and reactive: It allows developers to combine both the familiar imperative code and the reactive style when developing applications. Kube-Native: The combination of Quarkus and Kubernetes provides an ideal environment for creating scalable, fast, and lightweight applications. It highly increases the developer productivity with tooling, pre-built integrations, application services e.t.c By following this guide to the end, you will learn how to: Use Quarkus Dekorate extension to automatically generate Kubernetes manifests based on the source code and configuration Build and push images to Docker registry with Jib extension Deploy an application on Kubernetes without any manually created YAML in one click Use Quarkus Kubernetes Config to inject configuration properties from ConfigMap Let’s dive in! Setup Pre-requisites For this guide, you will require: Quarkus CLI Apache Maven 3.8.1+ (Optional) Access to a Kubernetes cluster A Kubernetes cluster can be deployed with the aid of the guides below: Run Kubernetes on Debian with Minikube Deploy Kubernetes Cluster on Linux With k0s Install Kubernetes Cluster on Ubuntu using K3s Install Kubernetes Cluster on Rocky Linux 8 with Kubeadm & CRI-O Once the cluster is running, install kubectl curl -LO "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" chmod +x kubectl sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin Ensure that you can access the cluster. # For k0s export KUBECONFIG=/var/lib/k0s/pki/admin.conf 1. Install Quarkus CLI The Quarkus CLI can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows (using WSL or bash compatible shell-like Cygwin or MinGW) by running the below commands: curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - trust add https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/quarkus/quarkus-cli/ curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app install --fresh --force quarkus@quarkusio You can install it on Windows systems using the Powershell: iex "& $(iwr https://ps.jbang.dev) trust add https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/quarkus/quarkus-cli/" iex "& $(iwr https://ps.jbang.dev) app install --fresh --force quarkus@quarkusio" Once installed, restart your shell. The Quarkus CLI can also be installed using SDKMAN as below: sdk install quarkus 2. Create a Project Use the Quarkus command-line interface (CLI) to create a new project. The below command adds resteasy-reactive, Jib, and kubernetes dependencies. quarkus create app quarkus-example --extension=resteasy-reactive,kubernetes,jib

cd quarkus-example Sample Output: After this, you will have several files generated, among these files is the pom.xml file bearing dependencies to the build file: ......... io.quarkus quarkus-resteasy-reactive io.quarkus quarkus-kubernetes io.quarkus quarkus-container-image-jib ...... The good thing with Quarkus is that it generates Deployment/StatefulSet resources that it use your registry_username/test-quarkus-app:tag as the container image of the Pod. The image here is controlled by the Jib extension and can be customized using the application.properties as shown: Open the file for editing: vim src/main/resources/application.properties Add the following lines replacing where required. quarkus.container-image.group=registry_username quarkus.container-image.name=tutorial-app quarkus.container-image.tag=latest quarkus.container-image.username=registry_username quarkus.container-image.password=Your_registry -Password If no registry has not been specified, the default, docker.io registry will be used. A detailed demonstration on specifying a registry has been captured elsewhere in this guide. 3. Build and Deploy your Application Jib is used to build optimized images for Java applications without a Docker daemon and no need for the mastery of deep docker practices. Dekorate is a Java library that makes it simple to generate and decorate Kubernetes manifests. It generates manifests based on the annotations, source code, and configuration variables. Now build and deploy your application using Quarkus CLI: quarkus build -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true Sample Output: After the build process, you will have two files named kubernetes.json and kubernetes.yml under the target/kubernetes/ directory. # ls target/kubernetes kubernetes.json kubernetes.yml Both files contain both the Kubernetes Deployment and Service. For example, the kubernetes.yml file looks like this: # cat target/kubernetes/kubernetes.yml --- apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: annotations: app.quarkus.io/build-timestamp: 2022-07-09 - 10:55:08 +0000 labels: app.kubernetes.io/name: tutorial-app app.kubernetes.io/version: latest name: tutorial-app spec: ports: - name: http port: 80 targetPort: 8080 selector: app.kubernetes.io/name: tutorial-app app.kubernetes.io/version: latest type: LoadBalancer --- apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: annotations: app.quarkus.io/build-timestamp: 2022-07-09 - 10:55:08 +0000 labels: app.kubernetes.io/version: latest app.kubernetes.io/name: tutorial-app name: tutorial-app spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app.kubernetes.io/version: latest app.kubernetes.io/name: tutorial-app template: metadata: annotations: app.quarkus.io/build-timestamp: 2022-07-09 - 10:55:08 +0000 labels: app.kubernetes.io/version: latest app.kubernetes.io/name: tutorial-app spec: containers: - env: - name: KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE valueFrom: fieldRef: fieldPath: metadata.namespace image: registry_username/tutorial-app:latest imagePullPolicy: Always name: tutorial-app ports: - containerPort: 8080 name: http protocol: TCP You will also have the image pushed to your registry. DockerHub for this example: It is possible to generate a StatefulSet resource instead of the default Deployment resource via the application.properties; quarkus.kubernetes.deployment-kind=StatefulSet Now deploy the application to your Kubernetes cluster using any of the two manifests. For example: kubectl apply -f target/kubernetes/kubernetes.yml Verify if the deployment is up: # kubectl get deploy NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE tutorial-app 1/1 1 1 13s

# kubectl get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE tutorial-app-bc774dc8d-k494g 1/1 Running 0 19s Check if the service is running: # kubectl get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 443/TCP 31m tutorial-app LoadBalancer 10.102.87.114 80:30400/TCP 4m53s Access the deployment using the provided port 30400. This can be done using a web browser with the URL http://IP_Address:30400/hello Or from the terminal as shown: $ curl 192.168.205.4:30400/hello Hello from RESTEasy Reactive This is the output of the file at src/main/java/org/acme/GreetingResource.java 4. Tuning the generated resources using application.properties Quarkus allows one to tune the generated manifest using the application.properties file. Through this file, several configurations can be made. These include: A. Namespace Quarkus allows one to run the application in a chosen namespace. It omits the namespace in the generated manifest rather than enforcing it in the default namespace. Therefore, you can run the application in the desired namespace say test using the command: kubectl apply -f target/kubernetes/kubernetes.yml -n=test Aside from specifying the namespace when running the Kubernetes command, you can still capture the namespace in the application.properties as shown: quarkus.kubernetes.namespace=mynamespace Replace mynamespace with the desired namespace for the application. B. Defining a Docker registry There are several other registries that can be defined. If left undefined, docker.io is used. If you want ot use another registry such as quay.io, then you need to specify it: quarkus.container-image.registry=my.docker-registry.net my.docker-registry.net is the registry you want to use. C. Environment variables There are several ways of defining variables on Kubernetes. These includes: key/value pairs import all values from a Secret or ConfigMap interpolate a single value identified by a given field in a Secret or ConfigMap interpolate a value from a field within the same resource Environment variables from key/value pairs To add environment variables from key/value pairs, use the below syntax: quarkus.kubernetes.env.vars.my-env-var=foobar This adds MY_ENV_VAR=foobar as an environment variable. my-env-var is converted to uppercase and the dashes are replaced with underscores to result in MY_ENV_VAR. Environment variables from Secret To add key/value pairs of Secret as environment variables, add the lines below to application.properties: quarkus.kubernetes.env.secrets=my-secret,my-other-secret This will result in the following in the container environment: envFrom: - secretRef: name: my-secret optional: false - secretRef: name: my-other-secret optional: false You can set the variable by extracting a value defined by keyName form the my-secret: quarkus.kubernetes.env.mapping.foo.from-secret=my-secret quarkus.kubernetes.env.mapping.foo.with-key=keyName Resulting into: - env: - name: FOO valueFrom: secretKeyRef: key: keyName name: my-secret optional: false Environment variables from ConfigMap Quarkus can be used to add key/value pairs from ConfigMap as environment variables. To achieve this, you need to add the lines below separating the ConfigMap to be used as a source by a comma. For example: quarkus.kubernetes.env.configmaps=my-config-map,another-config-map This will result into: envFrom: - configMapRef: name: my-config-map optional: false - configMapRef: name: another-config-map optional: false It is also possible to extract keyName field from the my-config-map by using: quarkus.kubernetes.env.mapping.foo.from-configmap=my-configmap quarkus.kubernetes.env.mapping.foo.with-key=keyName This will generate a manifest with the below lines:

- env: - name: FOO valueFrom: configMapRefKey: key: keyName name: my-configmap optional: false That is it! Closing Thoughts That summarizes this guide on how to deploy and use Quarkus in Kubernetes. I am sure that you are now in a position to generate the Kubernetes resources based on some defaults and the user-provided configuration using Quarkus. I hope this was valuable.

I also love that this is completely insane to say given that when Windows OS development switched to a Version Control System, they required an entire in-house system to bootstrap Git, a VCS explicitly designed to handle massive projects with hundreds or thousands of contributors working simultaneously (it was originally created to solve the problem of versioning the Linux Kernel) just to handle the enormous excesses of the OS code base. Windows also refuses to restructure anything to work in a decent way and simply creates layer after layer of UI abstraction over system controls that only make the user experience more constrained. Do you know the hoops you have to jump through to get “sudo” equivalent administrative privilege in Windows? It’s a lot. Why does the built in file explorer search so slowly? The fact the same recursive search takes orders of magnitude less time when implemented from PowerShell proves this is not a necessary fault. Be serious. Not only that, have you ever tried reading Windows documentation? Because if you have the suggestion is genuinely laughable. Windows refuses to even bother being genuinely compatible to *nix standards which makes it a software island most of the time, and in fact this explains the majority of why this unhinged operating system is still widely used (mostly cornering the consumer desktop from the jump). The mere fact that so much software has already been created explicitly to be used on Windows means it’s almost impossible to abandon. Many people will claim integrated office software suites are a strong point for Windows but, as someone who dislikes Apple for a variety of reasons, Apple does it better with MacOS at this point. In the push to capitalize on the consumer, an operating system has been created that absolutely insists it knows better than the user at every turn. No OS should ever EVER automatically update. The number of extremely tedious modifications I have had to look for to help friends accomplish things that would be trivial to almost any *nix system are too numerous to count, and almost always involve changes to the Windows Registry, which must be handled with the utmost care and surgical precision, lest the altering of a binary flag from 1 to 0 to hide an icon somewhere result in an absolutely irreparable failure of some other area of the system. You’re shit out of luck if you want help with anything too. Almost all troubleshooting is based on trial and error guesswork from users, because not even the people at Windows know how anything works and they fire their customer assistance people every 8 months. You want diagnostic tools? Fuck you. If you’re lucky they made one 7 years ago and it doesn’t work as of the 2nd Mandatory Update since then. Go ahead and try to set up SSH keys on Windows. See how that works out for you. On the whole, an insane and unhelpful operating system currently trying extremely hard to sell subscription software to its users whether they want it or not while also pushing out a more neutered version of the product with every release.

i literally think it should be illegal for windows to have so much bloat that the end user doesn't have any built-in control over and that all the people responsible for the current state of windows should be exiled from society

Top 10 NPM Packages for Node.js Developers

The standard method for managing Node.js. NPM has been an excellent resource for JavaScript developers.They can use NPM to share ready-to-use code for resolving bugs within a particular website or app.

Any NPM package consists of three components: a website, a Command Line Interface (CLI), and a registry.

This article will go over the top ten NPM packages that you will find most useful.

Cloudinary

If you need a solution for the images in your web application, you should not overlook the useful Cloudinary. It is a full-fledged cloud service with a plethora of features that will serve you well. From uploading visual content to image resizing and cropping, you name it. Of course, none of this would be possible without the use of sophisticated software. In other words, Cloudinary is user-friendly enough for both beginners and experts to get the most out of it.

Cloudinary's API allows you to seamlessly integrate it into any project or application without breaking a sweat. Remember, you can even sign up for a free account and try Cloudinary right away to see how powerful and effective it is. The official tool website also contains all of the additional information about how to use the tool, such as setup, configuration, embedding, and so on.

Lodash

Lodash is the fourth NPM package on our list. This is especially useful if you're dealing with a large number of numbers, digits, arrays, and so on.

Lodash is an alternative to JavaScript for those who find it difficult to learn. Lodash is useful to create complex function easier.

The best thing about Lodash is that it comes in a variety of formats and packages. As a result, web developers will have greater flexibility when using this NPM package.

Grunt

You can avoid task runners for as long as you want, but learning one will completely change your programming experience from the start. You can easily allow yourself to have fewer tasks to care for for a specific project by using a task runner, and instead automate the process of doing minifications, compile tasks, testing, code linting, and so on. The fewer of these you have to do on your own, the more time you'll have to do actual coding work. And if you don't see a plugin that does what you need, just make your own; Grunt allows you to publish Grunt-specific plugins via NPM.

Nodist

Nodist is the way to go if you need a complete Node.js and NPM version manager for Windows. For your convenience, it fully supports CMD, Powershell, Git bash, and Cygwin. If you are new to using a manager for Windows, read through the installation process with installer and chocolatey to ensure a flawless execution. When you read through the entire documentation, you will also learn everything you need to know about using, debugging, testing, building, and activating Nodist. You can also contact the author if you want to share ideas or if you run into any problems along the way.

Async.js

Asynchronous has completely redesigned how JavaScript content interacts with your web pages. This enables you to improve performance by removing render-blocking JavaScript. Render blocking basically means that any JavaScript content is "above the fold" on a page will not be loaded until JavaScript itself has finished loading in the page. The library was designed to be used with Node.js, but it now also works with browsers. That way, you can inject it into any project, whether or not it uses Node.js. This library allows you to control over more than twenty functions.

PM2

PM2 Node.js is well-known as a framework for scaling large applications and infrastructure. Process management should be a top priority for any Node.js developer. PM2 includes process management for production applications as well as a load balancer to help with any potential performance improvements. With PM2, your applications remain online indefinitely, giving you the ability to reload apps without experiencing any downtime.

Socket.IO

Socket allows you to create truly real-time communication apps that require real-time streams of content, either directly from the data you're working with or via an API from an external source. We've seen apps like a Twitter bot that collects the most recent tweets, a Facebook bot that watches the news, and other interesting combinations of APIs that work with data in real-time. Imagine what such communication methods could do for your analytics; truly real-time analytics are still being actively developed even by large companies like Google Analytics, but with Socket, you get early access to all of that.

Debug

Debug is the next name on our list. This NPM package is nearly synonymous with ease of use. This Node. js-powered NPM package assists you in gathering all of your logs during the coding process under a specific module.

Debug may cause problems for some of you. Mostly because there are some styling and tagging tricks that first-timers may find difficult to learn.

These, however, are not the most important aspects of this NPM package. You will eventually be able to learn everything.

Bower

Websites used to be made up of little more than HTML, CSS, and, in some cases, JavaScript. Nowadays, websites would be impossible to create without the use of external libraries, tools, frameworks, and other JS-related utilities. Bower handles the management of your components, whether they are JS, CSS, or HTML. (Fonts and visual content are also acceptable!) Bower carefully allocates all of the packages that you use, and then assists you in keeping them up to date and regularly checked for potential risks. A simple Bower file can aid in the upkeep of an application the size of Fortune 500 corporations.

Mocha

Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework that runs on Node.js and the browser to simplify and enjoy asynchronous testing. Mocha tests are executed in a sequential order, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting while mapping uncaught exceptions to the appropriate test cases. Testing is critical for understanding how well the application is performing, where any specific leaks can be found, and how we can improve these bugs, problems, and annoyances that we encounter. Testing allows developers to better understand how their code performs and, as a result, learn more skills as they progress along their chosen path.

Download Cryptolocker Virus For Testing

Nov 12, 2013 The Crypto Locker virus is passed around in emails that have innocent enough looking senders, such as UPS or FedEx, but they’re not really from these corporations, of course. Instead, when you open the attachment, your computer becomes infected and the virus locks all your files until you pay a ransom. Jun 30, 2014 thanks. I see so many new samples (like cryotowall 3.0) that I have moved on from the original cryptolocker. As my antivirus protects against all crypto’s using email/web reputation and also detecting the crypto process, then I am no longer looking for policies to prevent. I am using trend micro worry free 9 with sp1 and the latest hotfix for.

What is CryptoLocker?

CryptoLocker is by now a well known piece of malware that can be especially damaging for any data-driven organization. Once the code has been executed, it encrypts files on desktops and network shares and “holds them for ransom”, prompting any user that tries to open the file to pay a fee to decrypt them. For this reason, CryptoLocker and its variants have come to be known as “ransomware.”

Malware like CryptoLocker can enter a protected network through many vectors, including email, file sharing sites, and downloads. New variants have successfully eluded anti-virus and firewall technologies, and it’s reasonable to expect that more will continue to emerge that are able to bypass preventative measures. In addition to limiting the scope of what an infected host can corrupt through buttressing access controls, detective and corrective controls are recommended as a next line of defense.

“This really opened my eyes to AD security in a way defensive work never did.”

FYI, this article is CryptoLocker specific. If you’re interested in reading about ransomware in general, we’ve written A Complete Guide To Ransomware that is very in-depth.

Update September 2018: Ransomware attacks have decreased significantly since their peak in 2017. CryptoLocker and it’s variants are no longer in wide distribution, and new ransomware has taken over. Ransomware has evolved as more of a targeted attack instead of the previous wide distribution model, and is still a threat to businesses and government entities.

What Does CryptoLocker Do?

On execution, CryptoLocker begins to scan mapped network drives that the host is connected to for folders and documents (see affected file-types), and renames and encrypts those that it has permission to modify, as determined by the credentials of the user who executes the code.

CryptoLocker uses an RSA 2048-bit key to encrypt the files, and renames the files by appending an extension, such as, .encrypted or .cryptolocker or .(7 random characters), depending on the variant. Finally, the malware creates a file in each affected directory linking to a web page with decryption instructions that require the user to make a payment (e.g. via bitcoin). Instruction file names are typically DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.txt or DECRYPT_INSTRUCTIONS.html.

As new variants are uncovered, information will be added to the Varonis Connect discussion on Ransomware. For example, a variant known as “CTB-Locker��� creates a single file in the directory where it first begins to encrypt files, named, !Decrypt-All-Files-(RANDOM 7 chars).TXT or !Decrypt-All-Files-(RANDOM 7 chars).BMP.

How to Prevent CryptoLocker

The more files a user account has access to, the more damage malware can inflict. Restricting access is therefore a prudent course of action, as it will limit the scope of what can be encrypted. In addition to offering a line of defense for malware, it will mitigate potential exposure to other attacks from both internal and external actors.

While getting to a least privilege model is not a quick fix, it’s possible to reduce exposure quickly by removing unnecessary global access groups from access control lists. Groups like “Everyone,” “Authenticated Users,” and “Domain Users,” when used on data containers (like folders and SharePoint sites) can expose entire hierarchies to all users in a company. In addition to being easy targets for theft or misuse, these exposed data sets are very likely to be damaged in a malware attack. On file servers, these folders are known as “open shares,” if both file system and sharing permissions are accessible via a global access group.

Although it’s easiest to use technologies designed to find and eliminate global access groups, it is possible to spot open shares by creating a user with no group memberships, and using that account’s credentials to “scan” the file sharing environment. For example, even basic net commands from a windows cmd shell can be used to enumerate and test shares for accessibility:

net view (enumerates nearby hosts)

net view host (enumerates shares)

net use X: hostshare (maps a drive to the share)

dir /s (enumerates all the files readable by the user under the share)

These commands can be easily combined in a batch script to identify widely accessible folders and files. Remediating these without automation, unfortunately, can be a time-consuming and risky endeavor, as it’s easy to affect normal business activity if you’re not careful. If you uncover a large amount of accessible folders, consider an automated solution. Automated solutions can also help you go farther than eliminating global access, making it possible to achieve a true least-privilege model and eliminate manual, ineffective access-control management at the same time.

How to Detect CryptoLocker

If file access activity is being monitored on affected files servers, these behaviors generate very large numbers of open, modify, and create events at a very rapid pace, and are fairly easy to spot with automation, providing a valuable detective control. For example, if a single user account modifies 100 files within a minute, it’s a good bet something automated is going on. Configure your monitoring solution to trigger an alert when this behavior is observed. Varonis DatAlert monitors and tracks file system behavior for ransomware attacks out-of-the-box. There is no need for extra configuration if Varonis is monitoring your data.

If you don’t have an automated solution to monitor file access activity, you may be forced to enable native auditing. Native auditing, unfortunately, taxes monitored systems and the output is difficult to decipher. Instead of attempting to enable and collect native audit logs on each system, prioritize particularly sensitive areas and consider setting up a file share honeypot.

A file share honeypot is an accessible file share that contains files that look normal or valuable, but in reality are fake. As no legitimate user activity should be associated with a honeypot file share, any activity observed should be scrutinized carefully. If you’re stuck with manual methods, you’ll need to enable native auditing to record access activity, and create a script to alert you when events are written to the security event log (e.g. using dumpel.exe).

If you’re PowerShell inclined, we’ve written a bit on how to combat CryptoLocker with PowerShell.

If your detective control mechanism can trigger an automated response, such as disabling the user account, the attack is effectively stopped before inflicting further damage. For example, a response to a user that generates more than 100 modify events within a minute might include:

Notifying IT and security administrators (include the affected username and machine)

Checking the machine’s registry for known keys/values that CryptoLocker creates:

Get-Item HKCU:SoftwareCryptoLockerFiles).GetValueNames()

if value exists, disable user automatically.

If recorded access activity is preserved and adequately searchable, it becomes invaluable in recovery efforts, as it provides a complete record of all affected files, user accounts, and (potentially) hosts. Varonis customers can use the output from report 1a (as described here) to restore files from a backup or shadow copy.

Depending on the variant of CryptoLocker, encryption may be reversible with a real-time disassembler.

Ransomware Safety Tips

Update your antivirus and endpoint protection software – these solutions can help detect certain types of ransomware and prevent it from encrypting your files.

Avoid phishing scams – phishing emails are the most prevalent delivery mechanism for ransomware.

Keep backups of your documents – it’s much faster and easier to recover your documents from a backup than it is to decrypt them, if they’ve been compromised in a ransomware attack.

Commit to a zero-trust/least privilege model – ransomware can only affect the folders a user can write to. A least privilege model limits that access to only what’s absolutely necessary.

Monitor file activity and user behavior to detect, alert and respond to potential ransomware activity.

New ransomware variants are popping up all the time – luckily our dedicated security forensics team does the legwork for you and diligently updates the ransomware signatures that Varonis detects. See how it works with a free 1:1 demo and learn more about how our ransomware defense architecture is designed to protect enterprise data from zero-day attacks beyond the endpoint – catching ransomware that traditional perimeter security doesn’t see.

If you ever needed a reminder to be careful about the emails and attachments you open, it’s now. The Crypto Locker virus that is going around is said to be one of the worst ever and is infecting computers with the Windows OS all across the United States. The virus, also called “ransomware,” works by holding your files hostage until you pay a fee.

The Crypto Locker virus is passed around in emails that have innocent enough looking senders, such as UPS or FedEx, but they’re not really from these corporations, of course. Instead, when you open the attachment, your computer becomes infected and the virus locks all your files until you pay a ransom.

You, Me And Microsoft Certification Exam Questions: The Truth

Taking a Microsoft accreditation test "cold" is a good way to end up retaking a Microsoft certification exam.

Action 1: Know what you require to understand.

Microsoft certification examinations are generally hard, truly hard. They are usually not very enjoyable to take. The examinations dive into triviality, asking concerns that individuals with years of experience can't address. Every concern is a trick question so they are pretty hard to rate.

How do you understand what will be on the exam? Breathe a sigh of relief because there is one place to go to find out many of the topics that will be on an exam.

Action 2: Find good study material.

You require really great material to study.

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer, I have experience collecting and assessing which resources are the very best for students to get the most out of. Here are my leading 3 recommendations for Microsoft study material:

Microsoft Certified Curriculum (MOC): I have access to Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) as a Certified Trainer, and therefore have a benefit, and can also clarify its high value in preparing for examinations. The MOC content is used in main Microsoft courses, is written by specialists in the field and tends to align with the goals in the examinations. This does not suggest that examination questions will be written word for word directly from the material, but the majority of the ideas on the exam are covered in detail in the MOC course content. I have actually had trainees swear that a concept on the examination wasn't covered in the MOC material only to return and discover that they had actually missed it or forgotten it. This is where having a list of abilities is useful. I use the abilities list as a guide to the material.

Online Resources: An underestimated research study resource for Microsoft exams is Microsoft Support (or MSDN for developers). Microsoft publishes practically everything da 100 practice exam questions about everything Microsoft on TechNet and MSDN, so it is highly most likely that any technical details that can be asked are covered in TechNet. Naturally, the disadvantage is that there are frequently countless pages on an offered topic, so the enormity of info can make TechNet appear unusable. That is where having a list of skills comes in.

Step 3: Take notes.

If I composed "click bait" this is where I would have the headline, "One easy technique to pass Microsoft Exam." Seriously, it is that crucial. I take down every technical information I see while studying for a test. In some cases I utilize an honest to goodness pen and paper, but I normally utilize OneNote. Technical details can be anything-- from PowerShell cmdlets to https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=Microsoft Certification computer system registry settings to setup settings for.NET applications. I make a note of anything that could be a candidate for an exam question.

Step 4: Practice.

With all due regard to a particular former expert basketball player, practice matters. It is necessary to really set up and handle a system that you are taking a certification exam on. It is essential to establish some test-taking abilities and have some understanding of what to anticipate when taking a test.

There are two forms of practice-- innovation practice and exam practice. Let's discuss how to practice each:

Innovation Practice: It is significantly difficult to pass a certification examination without real, truthful to goodness hands-on experience. On the one hand that is excellent-- licensing individuals who have actually just studied for a test and have never touched the item cheapens the certification. On the other hand, individuals might not have access to sandbox datacenters with multiple servers to establish lab environments.

Examination Practice: Knowing how to take a Microsoft exam is vital to passing a Microsoft test. I understand people who have squeaked by an examination that they weren't totally gotten ready for due to the fact that they are good at taking tests, and I understand individuals who know whatever there is about an innovation but have stopped working because they didn't understand how to take a Microsoft examination. There are a number of trustworthy companies that produce licensed practice tests for Microsoft.
