Here’s how I use it:

fcrackzip -b -c aA1 -l 6-8 -v -u file.zip

-b : bruteforce the password
-c : use the following character classes for cracking:

a    use all lowercase character
A   use all uppercase character
1    use all digits

-l 6-8 : Try passwords between 6 to 8 characters in length
-v be more verbose (this will print out the actual used password)
-u file.zip : Try to decompress first file in file.zip with the generated password.

And when the output starts with ‘PASSWORD FOUND!!!!: pw ==’, I’m happy.

For more command line options see the project page under http://www.goof.com/pcg/marc/fcrackzip.html.

openssl base64 -d -in <(echo “dGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3QKCg==”)

just drop the ‘-d’ if you want to encode things.

Here is the code I put in my ‘~/.emacs’ file so I can use this feature using “Escape”+”Enter”

(define-key global-map (read-kbd-macro "M-RET") 'hippie-expand)

it works great

Clicking it results in a new Terminal window which location is the same as the Finder location.

Here’s how it looks.

P.S. this works under OS X 10.6

And after I read this ‘Deploy A Rich Internet Application Developed With JavaFX Technology‘ (another 10 minutes) i was able to deploy it to the web.

If you like it let me know

You can cheat by pressing ‘r’=remove single block. ‘s’=remove more

So what’s the problem with Western Digital HDD’s ? This isn’t the first time I saw an WD disk stop working immediatly without any warnings. If it would be the hard drive of my macbook then ok, this one I carry around a lot. But my iMac is standing at the same position for over 1 1/2 years and wasn’t moved a single time.

this is a dark secret to me ?

what I’ve learned from this ……

BACKUP, daily BACKUP and another daily BACKUP

Here is how I do it:

List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> list = new Vector<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>(myHashMap.entrySet());
java.util.Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>() {
      public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> e, Map.Entry<String, Integer> e1) {
          return (e.getValue().equals(e1.getValue()) ? 0 : (e.getValue() > e1.getValue() ? 1 : -1));
}}); 
 

Now the list contains the sorted entrys from hashmap ‘THashMap myHashMap<String,Integer>’.
Iterate over it or copy it back to ‘myHashMap’ if you need to.

Hope this helps …

1. MacJAD (google for Download)
   - onyl able to open single class files
2. JarInspector (http://www.codeland.org/)
   + can open jar files
   + correct 
   - unable to decompile the anonymous inner classes I use
   - seems to be confused by nested catch and try blocks 
3. JD-GUI (http://java.decompiler.free.fr/)  
   + can open jar files
   + 90% able to decompiling anonymous inner classes

A big problem all tools share is that if you have nested iterations, for/while loops they all rename the variable you iterate over to ‘i$’. So it’s possible if your code looks like this:

while(iterator.hashNext()) {
...
    for(int varA; ....){
        for(int varB; ....){.....}
    }
...
}

the decompiled code will end up looking this:

while(i$.hashNext()) {
...
    for(int i$; ....){
        for(int i$; ....){.....}
    }
...
}

which isn’t really funny …

My conclusion is that JarInspector seems to be the best but if you need the inner class support use JD-GUI for the parts of the code those are in.

at least the next week I think I’ll only get a mocca cup of sleep ;(
