Malicious Text Being Stored To Database
Mar 7, 2008Is there a function or something that is built into VB.NET so that when I save a text field (of a user's input), malicious code isn't being executed in the process.

Design A Program That Can Encrypt And Decrypt Messages Stored In Simple Text Files Using A Private Key Stored In A Separate File?
Jun 13, 2011Need to design a program that can encrypt and decrypt messages stored in simple text files using a private key stored in a separate file. Software should also be able to allow the users to enter simple messages that either displays the encrypted or decrypted message. The encryption method should use a simple substitution method. It should be set out in the following format:
Example (the "@" is the separator):
@
The character The Code End of line
A @ 4gh EOL
B @ 84!9 EOL
Has to use the 256 ASCII character codes. The separator will be used to separate the character and its corresponding code.Here are the pseudocodes I have come up with:
� Read any private key file
separator = readline(file);
while not EOF(file) do
tempStr = readline(file);

DB/Reporting :: Database - Access Denied To A Text File (since It's Stored In The Program Directory In The Program Files)
Sep 20, 2010I have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
On Creating A Simple Keylogger (non Malicious)
Feb 21, 2012I'm suspicious my spouse is cheating.

Web Cam Program - Designed With Malicious Intent?
Jun 6, 2012I found a VB WebCam program from Africa on this site [url]
However one of the instructions is to "add a reference to WebcamControl.dll ". I've researched that .dll and it appears to be able to "Silently record users' sensitive personal information, identity details and business files, make traces of the users' online activities and browser habits and then transmit them to insecure remote servers".
I haven't downloaded this .dll or found a location to download it. Am I correct in assuming this program was designed with malicious intent?

Avoid Adding The Development Of Malicious Code?
Dec 3, 2009How to avoid aiding the development of malicious code I see an uncomfortable number of questions asking for info that could easily be put to malicious use. You can probe the OP to discover their intent, and you get replies that come in one of two flavors.
I have come to realize that trying to discover their intent is a waste time. Not because of the reactions, but their intent is really irrelevant to the matter at hand. Security. Posting code of any nature in a public forum that can be abused for malicious purposes is outright reckless. I wish could provide the help they request, but I don't know most of those programming tricks anyway. I would discourage anyone from publicly posting code that could be perverted no matter what the person asking for it claims. Their claims take a back seat to common sense. Anyone can read the post, people. Don't post anything that could become part of someone's malicious software in public.
Avoid Aiding Development Of Malicious Code?
Sep 14, 2009A open conversation thread on this topic exists at[url]...
I would like to ask our community to take a brief moment to consider the outcome of answering a question before doing so. Sometimes a question can lead down a path to examples of how to create malware applications, and that is something we want to try to avoid. There are a few key things we can watch out for which would often indicates a question about malicious code intent.
First, watch for requests to do network communications that violate one or more RFC documents (e.g. How do I spoof my IP address?). Second, watch for requests on automating other websites - a quick check of the other site's AUP or TOU will typically tell you if the automation is permitted. Third, watch for requests that appear to want to harvest data from the web, without following the typical procedures for a web crawler (bot).[code]...
VS 2010 - Malicious Code Security Feature
Dec 8, 2011I am creating an application that will compile code at runtime and then execute that code. My worry is this: Someone might make a malicious script, that deletes files for example. Is there an option in VB.NET that prevents Kill statements and other file operations from executing? Maybe a kind of 'security' feature? If not, is there another approach that I should take?

View 1 RepliesText Values Are Not Stored At Text Box Declared Dynamically
Jan 13, 2010I have declared an array of text boxes created dynamically at run time. The textboxes are assigned some values by user. The text boxes are located in a Form so that once the user fills in the info and clicks the "ok" button, these values are passed at the back end and the form dissappears. However the user can bring back the form again by clicking another button.
The problem is that once the form reappears, the information previously provided in the form remains. Even the user clears the text boxes to provide new value, the text boxes at code behind do not receive these values.

Apr 23, 2012ive made changes to my data stored in the database for a login i.e. ive changed the password that is stored in the database however for my application to continue the previous password still has to be used does anybody know why and how to change this, this also is the case for new entry's in the database i.e. new users. I also had an update button that also no longer works i think this is because of the same problem. I think the problem is that its saving the data changes from the update to the data set and not the database its self can this be changed?

View 1 RepliesDataset / Database Stored Procedure
Oct 21, 2010I am attempting to create a tier application. Im wondering which approach would be better to take on. Should i have stored procedures on the database and then call these from my Data Access Layer (this is when you right click your dataset and add a table adapter, select existing stored procedures or create the entire query in my Dataset under TableAdapter?
My reason for asking is because my Stored procedures are created to insert and update in one command (by using an If statement), but saw the other approach recently. Any reason for one over the other?

May 5, 2009I have a requirement for a form where user can add a list of 'documents'. These could be word, excel, images etc... pretty much anything. They want a form where they use the openfiledialog to locate the document and then want the list of documents stored on a database.
However, when they view this form they want a preview of all of the listed documents and the ability to print them all. I was considering a datagrid view with image cells but how would I show a word document in there? Or, should I insist that they convert all documents to PDF's?

Query Was Executed But The Value Wasn't Being Stored In The Database?
Mar 2, 2012I am using VB.NET 2008 and SQL Server 2008.My program runs the below query all the time for different values, but yesterday, this query was executed, and it set the other values correctly in myTbl, but it didn't set the "Status" column to 'C' as stated in the query.
update myTbl set [Floor] = 'a',FloorConf = 'C',Status = 'C' where [myUpdateCol] = 'a-1'
There is no error when executing the query.Why the "Status" column wasn't being set correctly, and what can cause this ?

View 2 RepliesRemoving Unwanted Reports Stored In Database
Oct 7, 2010I have developed a VB .net application which uses SQL CE as its database engine. It works great so far. I recently added a section to remove unwanted reports which are stored in the database. The app correctly pulls ReportIDs from the table, which the user can select. The program will then delete the records based on the ReportID from the database. I know this records because, for testing purposes, message boxes inform the user of how many records where collected.
Dim SQLDeleteData As String = "DELETE FROM ReportData WHERE (TableID = @ID)"
Dim Con As New SqlCeConnection(DataBaseCon)
Dim DeleteData As New SqlCeCommand(SQLDeleteData, Con)
Dim ReportDelete As Integer = -1
DeleteData.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = CInt(ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text)
noOfDeleted = DeleteData.ExecuteNonQuery
MsgBox("Records Data Deleted " & noOfDeleted)
When the form refreshes to show the user the possible ReportID's, the list no longer contains the recently deleted ReportID. Now this is where I am getting confused. When I go through the server explorer and look at the database there, in the appropriate tables the data still exists. Through the server explorer new query builder, I can still create a select statement to allow me to view the data I just deleted. Does the server explorer create some type of local cache that replicates the database in someway? Are there really two copies of the database somewhere?
