Testing a WCF Service with wsHttpBinding in SoapUI gives you the following error: The message could not be processed. This is most likely because the action ‘ [Insert Web Service Action Here] ’ is incorrect or because the message contains an invalid or expired security context token or because there is a mismatch between bindings. The security context token would be invalid if the service aborted the channel due to inactivity. To prevent the service from aborting idle sessions prematurely increase the Receive timeout on the service endpoint’s binding. SoapUI doesn't support security context tokens. Add these lines in Web.config : Make sure that SoapUI has WS-Addressing set to true .

So I have been learning C# lately and trying to apply some concepts from Joshua Bloch's Effective Java 2. The builder pattern. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace PaymentLibrary { public sealed class CardType { public string Id { get; private set; } public string Name { get; private set; } public string IssueFlag { get; private set; } public IList<int> Lengths { get; private set; } public IList<string> Prefixes { get; private set; } private CardType() { } public sealed class Builder { private string id; private string name; private string issueFlag; private IList<int> lengths = new List<int>(); private IList<string> prefixes = new List<string>(); public Builder WithId(string id) { this.id = id;...

The mind as the bridge between pure consciousness and the body in which that consciousness temporarily resides.

Information... Where does it go? Everywhere... Think twice before you share.

A simple DNS lookup in Java import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.UnknownHostException; public class DNSLookup { public static void main(String... args) { InetAddress inet = null; try { final String host = "eradicus.blogspot.com"; inet = InetAddress.getByName(host); System.out.println("DNS Lookup: " + host); System.out.println("IP Adress: " + inet.getHostAddress()); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } By using the InetAddress API you will be able to obtain the IP address of the target.

Linked list is one of the most popular data structures in Computer Science . Read more about linked lists [here] . In this entry we will write a function to reverse a linked list in C++ efficiently. Link* reverse_list(Link* p) { if (p == NULL) { return NULL; } Link* h = p; p = p->next; h->next = NULL; while(p != NULL) { Link* t = p->next; p->next = h; h = p; p = t; } return h; } Enjoy.

Here's a useful tool for debugging web apps specifically running in IE versions 8 and below. This is not just limited to applications running on the browser though, it can listen to any application utilizing HTTP / HTTPS. You do not need to configure your proxy settings to redirect traffic, it just works on the fly. IE 9 has Developer Tools in it, more info [here] just like FireBug for Firefox and Chrome Developer Tools. It does not mean that we can not use it though. I would still recommend it for debugging HTTP / HTTPS communication to avoid looking at 3 different tools.

So I have reached the testing phase of the anti CSRF / CSS / SQL Injection fixes for a classic ASP web application at work. Luckily it didn’t take me long enough to learn the language. My machine will be used for quality assurance purposes. I have encountered an error regarding the number of simultaneous connections made to my local IIS webserver while running OWASP CSRFTester Project . The fix is simple; just increase the number of simultaneous connections for IIS using the command below: Assuming your PWD is inetpub\adminscripts cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/MaxConnections 40 iisreset

8 out of 10 average PC users have their box’s system files altered by malwares, viruses, etc. We usually reinstall the OS if the antivirus and anti malware software did not perform their job well. Here’s one way to fix the corrupted system files without the need of restarting your Windows 7 box. 1. Run the Command Prompt as Administrator 2. Type the following command C:\Windows\system32\> sfc /scannow 3. After the verification phase, you will receive a message about your system files’ integrity Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

What is an Android Intent? - functions like a verb - something like “open contacts manager”, “search contacts”, “call contact”, and etc. - I see it something like a description of a method / action to be performed - used for starting other Activities You can read more about this here: Android Intent

What is an Android Activity? - one of the building blocks of an Android application - used for rendering user interfaces that can respond to events - a single screen - can return a value to the previous activity - pushed into a stack every time a new activity starts You can read more about this here: Android Activity

1. Create a self-signed server certificate using keytool . Take note of the keystore password, you will need it later on for setting up the server. keytool -genkeypair -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -dname "CN=localhost, OU=Group, O=Company Name, L=City, S=Region, C=PH" -validity 365 -keystore keystore 2. Move the generated certificate file (keystore) to Tomcat’s conf directory. 3. Modify conf/server.xml <Connector port="443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="conf/keystore" keystorePass="your password" /> 4. Restart Tomcat. 5. Visit this link https://localhost:443/ . You will receive a warning about the self-signed certificate. If you want to get away with this warning, purchase a commercial certificate.

Basically there are 2 functions needed. Some people prefer the raw hash instead of the hex equivalent. 1. md5raw - for encoding text in raw md5 hash 2. md5 - for converting raw md5 hash to hex. Here’s the code for the md5raw function. create or replace function md5raw (text in varchar2) return varchar2 is hash_value varchar2(20); begin hash_value := dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5 (input_string => text); return hash_value; end; and the code for the md5 function. create or replace function md5(text in varchar2) return varchar2 is hash_value varchar2(32); begin select lower(rawtohex(md5raw(text))) into hash_value from dual; return hash_value; end; Now you can do something like this. select md5('koala') from dual; |---------------------------------------| |MD5('koala') | |---------------------------------------| |a564de63c2d0da68cf47586ee05984d7 | |---------------------------------------|

I have been doing this for quite some time now but I failed to document it. First, install the VirtualBox Guest Additions on your host. Then you create a mount point (assuming it is /media/shared). $ sudo mkdir /media/shared You may change the path if you want. Mount the shared folder using the command below. $ sudo mount -t vboxsf <folder> /media/shared Replace the <folder> above with the correct shared folder name. Enjoy.

One of the common problems of Gome Flytouch is its inability to play high quality videos. Here is a trick by Kiarov for converting videos to a lower quality in order to be playable - Gome Flytouch Video Encoding Tutorial . Do not forget, you must have your tablet overclocked to 400MHz. The software used for conversion was HandBrake but you can use any converter of your choice. The converted videos work well with Meridian Player . Here’s the settings: Type: MP4 Size: 480x320 Video Bit Rate: 384 kbps Frame Rate: 25 fps Video Encoder: XVid Audio Encoder: AAC Sample Rate: 44.1 KHz Audio Bit Rate: 64 kbps

Some Gome Flytouch tablets have their G sensors and cameras inverted by default. There are two ways to fix these. 1. If you’re creating your own firmware, it’s better to include the fix right on the scriptcmd file. For the G sensor, add this line: setenv gsensor_axis 0,-1,1,1,2,1 and for the camera: setenv camera_rotate 270 2. If you had your device rooted, just execute the commands above on any Android terminal as root.

Now you can test run apps in your Windows machine before installing them in your device or perhaps you don’t want to miss the fun playing Robo Defense. This is best for extending the battery life of your device if you are just testing apps. Watch the demo [here] . Click [here] to download. Enjoy!
