Is it... "GIF", "Gif", "GIFs", "Gifs"  or....? Let me know below.

I also use another program called ShareX for screen captures- this program is much much much much more feature rich. It allows for multiple formats of screen capture, be it still image or video, or as a GIF.

The GIF files tend to be on the LARGE side...

but, hey... you learned of another application to optimize such large GIF files - just open Screen2Gif and select > Load ... this will take a moment or 2... wait for it to load up.  Once loaded, on the Edit tab select Remove Duplicates with a value of around 85%... you can leave the timing the same or make it so the time is averaged over the deleted frames(otherwise you may end up with something that resembles a timelapse). Save your now reduced size GIF.

To further optimize you GIF navigate to ezgif.com > click on optimize > upload your file > "Online GIF optimizer and compressor" > Optimization method: From the dropdown: "Lossy GIF" and a value of 35 (or more, though the quality degrades quick anything north of that 35 value... ) > click "Optimize GIF!" > wait a moment and your optimized media will load below... once loaded you can click on the save file link or right click and save.

Miggitty Miggitty Mac Address

 Helping your router identify your WiFi adapter on your network. A Mac address is unique. Kinda like your device's fingerprint. It's made of 6 sets of 2 characters and separated by semiolonsì. A Mac address is comprised of letters and numbers. As an example; something like this ... 01:aa:gg:88:bb:ccp What Makes a Mac Address First six characters are classified as organizational unique identifier.. or OUI...  popular lookup tools/ databases are IEEE ieee Public Mac Address Look Up Tool... Online Search Tool by Wire Shark, to name a couple- there are many more...some more upto date than the other. If you can't locate the OUI within one, give the others a try.  A Tool such as the WiFi Pineapple can link directly to OUI resources giving us an efficient research tool for network analysis. OUI's For Research Utilising such data as an OUI can be of tremendous importance- providing shortcuts, Where once blind, guessing... now, knowing a manufacturer, can point us to default log...

Windows Doesn't recognize Your HackRF device? Wrong Drivers? Try ...

 Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF.  Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...

Getting Down with Wireshark as a Network Monitoring Tool

Wireshark-  When you need to get down and dirty with individual packets, it's the undisputed champ. But what happens when you're trying to figure out what's actually going down on a high-speed, chaotic network? Not just  the wireless activity- getting more involved; seeing what is actually going on, what users on the network are active in/ their activities- what can we see? Scrolling through a billion packets to find out who's hogging all the bandwidth with Netflix isn't just a headache; it's practically impossible. Wireshark is a microscope, but sometimes you need a satellite view. You want to know the big picture: what apps are running, who the top talkers are, and if something sketchy is happening, without spending hours creating ridiculously complex filters. The Secret Sauce: ntop's nDPI Enter the total game-changer: nDPI (ntop Deep Packet Inspection) . Think of standard Wireshark as a mailman who only reads the outside of the envelope (the packet heade...
