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/

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...

Maximising RF Range as per Texas Instruments

Making electronics such as semiconductors and pioneering advances in integrated circuits. Consistently Texas Instruments brings us innovation - in their "about me" they state this mentioning advancements "to make technology smaller, more efficient, more reliable and more affordable" – "Engineering Progress.", that is what Texas Instruments are about. Wireless/ RF Texas Instruments  or TI with their many product offerings and solutions, many of which fall into the category of being wireless- that is what our modern world is now- involving many technologies, but today we are talking more in the area of RF or Radio Frequencies. Though these technologies have advanced, and our knowledge has grown in said technologies- still, limitations exist. One of them, when talking about RF is the range that your solution needs, and realistically, the actual range possible with the technologies being utilized.  How Far Can My RF Signal Transmit? Receive? Sorry to burst you...

 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...
