Kill Em All, Processes That Is

 


A tool I use more often than I should. Mostly due to the sheer number of tabs and Chrome windows that I have going simultaneously. At times mylaptop will grind to a halt, the fan on full blast, a continuos struggle to click on "wait" when I get the "this page is not responding" pop up message.

And... all of a sudden, I am in desperatate need for computer resourccces... there's a task that came to mind that desperatelly requires attention this instance. Windows are freezing up... other programs grind to a halt... every thing is at 110%.

I used to click the ol' ctr, alt, delete, trusty, giving my fingers a yoga exercise- the Task Manager, 1 by 1 go through, "end proscess"... 1 after the other. Shutting down anything and everythig to give me back any 'semblancd of what used to be my computer. Eventually freeing up enough resources to complette whattever itr was that needed my attention this very moment- more importantly, I've now freed up more virtual memory for more tabs- back to cruising the net..

This proscess, "prosces" of shutting down.....proscesses... was incredibly tedious...took some time. And, since it was at moments where the computer wasn't at its best- many frustrating moments.

May I introduce to you a fine peice of software, "Kill Em All", as in, kill all the proscesses... and much more.

Now, I can designate important proscesses from the not so... on openning the program.. all those unneccessary proscesses gone- poof- killed. Can even set firewall rules, blocking programs from network access. Need to do some sneaky activations (old school Photo Shop i'm looking at you_) or stop Apple from constantly sending data through iTunes "Helper". Blocked. No network for you.

Also provides the abillity to uninstal those pesky applications you can't traditional way(s).

For those that dare... there is a CMD line version... also a portable version, so you can just have it run off a USB stick, no need to have it take up space on your computer.

Here you have it.... your resoursce cleaner-upper-killemall  https://www.d7xtech.com/killemall/

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...
