I 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?
Below is the code that we have been working on. We have bolded the parts which we are unsure about - they are producing errors. (its near the bottom)The program is designed to generate a random hand of cards out of our list of them. This program is a smaller version of what we hope to have in the full one - ie. It tries to get a random hand of 3 cards out of a possible 5.
The part we are having errors with is getting the images to display on each of the 3 'picturebox' objects using a loop (so we don't have to type each picturebox individually).
I am working on a program that creates a "license" file. This file is expected to be binary, containing a name, today's date, a warning date, an expiration date, and a preference of Metric or Imperial units of measurement, and essentially authorizes programs to work until the expiration date is reached, before which the warning date notifies the user that the license will expire.For this functionality to be fully utilized, the dates must not be able to be easily edited so as to prevent people from setting the date to whatever they want and keeping the program. What I have now writes each field from a String or Integer into whatever the BinaryWriter class deems should be written when I use its "write" method.I have been experimenting with the difference between Big and Little Endian encoding, which is selectable in the form.
If the entered name has no spaces, the file looks a bit unreadable, but not enough. With Big Endian, most of the Expiration Date is still showing; with Little Endian, the other two dates are mostly visible. However, using spaces in the entered name changes the format of the outputted text quite a bit, making all characters deliminated by a space, and therefore incredibly easy to change. My apologies that I cannot actually show you what the files look like.Is there a better/more accepted way of storing this data?I would like the license files to work with existing FORTRAN programs, of which read unformatted files in the general structure I've detailed, but reverse-engineering this sounds a bit difficult from what I've read and my employer has offered to rewrite the FORTRAN files to accept this new license creation program if need be.
I am trying to find a way to capture keyboard events with the intent of preventing users from being able to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del while my application is running. I've spent several hours poking around looking for inspiration but only finding unclear and half-baked examples. As such, I was thrilled to stumble across the article: Managing Low-Level Keyboard Hooks in VB .NET written by Paul Kimmel [URL] This article is insightful, comprehensive, well-written, and I thought it was a huge help. One little problem though, the code that was provided did not work, (I knew it was too good to be true!).
Now, Mr. Kimmel seemed very knowledgable and I think that he probably tested his code, so quite likely the problem is something that I'm doing wrong seeing as I am a newbie. As the article suggests I cut and pasted his code into a module in my project (solution I guess is the proper term), and I call the HookKeyboard method from a button on a form, and Presto! Nothing happens. Stepping through this code I see that the second line in HookKeyboard:
Is 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.
I'm suspicious my spouse is cheating. In the past few months he has systematically locked me out of all of his social media accounts shortly after getting a job with a group of female secretaries that travels for a week at a time. He has been dodging or non-communicative when confronted about this.url...
The only way to avoid interaction with antispyware is to create it myself.I understand that copying text or something into an open notepad session or the clipboard is out of the question; however I'm pretty sure that I could create a (fairly) simple script that does the following:[code]I know this is extremely inneficient but this is the most covert way i can think of, a simple wscript that runs on startup and creates these .txt files in an important looking place (windows/config/system/logs/win32 - example)
I have a site developed using vb.net 2.0. It has a URL of like [URL]..I want to avoid any malicious requests using other URLs. I have tried to implement using the code below and would like to kick such requests out of the site on the page load. How can I achieve this?

How 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.
A 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]...
I 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?
I am trying to use the Windows wireless API to automatically configure wireless settings in VB .Net. The documentation url... states 'The Native Wifi API is designed for C/C++ developers'. can I use this API from within VB and will I have to use a C/C++ wrapper and if so how? [code]
I have designed an Application tracking details and I have deployed it. The records are updating the way I need. I want the same application to be used in other three different systems which do not have MS Visual Studio. How can I do it ? Is it enough that I create a similar table in the path I have designed in the other systems and run the Application ?
how can i devolope a form in vb.net which can have autohide property at a time of mouse move away from button and give me the idea about devoloping attrective form for vb.net?
I need to create a prg. in that user can designed the form based on their requirements (like add delete buttons, textbox, labels, change its properties, location) and save the form changes permanently.
I have encountered a problem at the end of my project. I basically have a really nice RichTextBox control which I have made with help from others, which supports images, text colors, text higlighting, text size, background colors, etc. My problem has come when I try to save the data from the file - it loses text color, formatting, images etc. Is there any format in which I can retain the formatting or should I make my own file type with all the data embeded in a HTML-ish sort of structure, eg:
I have written this code implemeting MVC design pattern.... for simplcity... i have create Model with BLL having a two classes Employee and Designation and i have created the DAL using the Dataset designer tool....thus i've implemted all relationship bewteen the two tables Empoyee and Designation connected to each toher using field EmpIndex.
In MVC design pattern i should return objects to the controller (in this case i used only the view- win form) becuase of my Designer created DAL i cannot return objects of Employee and Designation to the View... this is becuase in BLL: the following method
Code: public TestMVCWithDataset.TestDataSet.tblEmployeesDataTable SearchByIndex(int iEmpIndex) { try { empAdapter.Fill(dtEmployees, iEmpIndex); return dtEmployees; } catch { throw new Exception("Employee not found!"); } }
I've spent a whole day on this already without figuring it out. I'm hoping somebody can help me translate the following MySQL query to work for SQL Server 2005:
SELECT MAX ( messages.date ) AS maxdate, topics.id AS topicid, topics.*, users.* FROM messages, topics, users WHERE messages.topic_id = topics.id AND topics.user_id = users.id AND topics.forum_id = " . $forumid . " GROUP BY messages.topic_id ORDER BY maxdate DESC
$forumid is a QueryString value defined in the following VB.NET code-behind code:
I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.
I want to Print the contents of Following Given form
This Form Contains: 5 TextBoxes - Name, Age, Sex, Date, And Referred Doctor And 1 DataGridView Containing Tests Performed on Patients - Test Name | Normal Value | P Value | Cost
I want to print this on a A4 Size sheet. I dont want to use bitmap image solution for this. That looks terrible, in which an image of complete form is displayed as "Print Preview". how to cleanly print out the content ?
Is there a control in vb.net that is specifically designed for displaying content larger than the control itself?I know it's possible to code your own using a panel and two scrollbars, but is there an already existing method for this?
I build my first Project composed of several forms and it�s working just fine. Id like now to redesign the project as a MDI Application. Once created the parent form, I can create child forms but thats not what I need. What I would need is convert my already designed and working forms to MDI child forms. How can that be done?
I'm having a problem with a class issue in VB 2005. The error message reads "The class Tellerform can be designed, but is not the first class in the file.

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.
Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.

I have my rpg, still, first time working on it n ages, and I want each user to be able to set their own personalized picture background for the game...
each character in the game has its own dedicated folder for each file that the character has relating to it...
what I want to know how to do, is to have my game copy the loaded/chosen background image to their respective characters data folder, and have the game reload/reset the games default background image, to the one piced by he player...I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this however...I've tried a lot of different things...and nothing is working yet...
