I need to extract IIS Configuration into text files to finally compare those files (using WinDiff)
to make sure that I have the same configuration on every server we have ( there are too many of them - we offer on demand services ).
In that purpose, I'm looking for a way to extract / dump IIS Configuration through a C++ program. I've already tried to read "applicationHost" XML file, but we can't do so.
If somebody have already done that kind of things thanks for helping.
I've seen that there is an API given but the MSDN documentation is not that clear for me.
Thanks.

I've been tasked with creating a deployable version of a ColdFusion web app to be installed on a clients server. I'm trying to find a way to give them a compiled version of our code, and my first inclination was to use the CFCompile utility that I found here. However, after running CFCompile, most of the code in the CFM files is still readable. The only thing that appears to be obfuscated at all is the actual ColdFusion code - all of the SQL Queries are still perfectly readable. (Example in the screenshot below)
The HTML and JavaScript are also still readable in the compiled code, but that doesn't matter as those can be seen in a web browser anyways.
Is there another way to distribute my source code in a format that is completely unreadable to the user? I'm guessing that for whatever method I choose, there will be some way of decompiling the code. That's not an issue, I just need to find a way to make it more difficult than opening the file and seeing the queries.
Hostek has a pretty good write up on the subject over on their site - How to Encrypt or Compile ColdFusion Files.
Basically, from that article:
Using cfcompile.bat
The cfcompile.bat utility will compile all .cfm and .cfc files within a given directory into Java bytecode. This has the effect of making your source code unreadable, and it also prevents ColdFusion from having to compile your ColdFusion files on first use which provides a small performance enhancement.
More details about using cfcompile.bat can be found in ColdFusion's Documentation
Using cfencode.exe
The cfencode.exe utility will apply basic encryption to a specific file or directory. If used to encrypt a directory, it will apply encryption to ALL files in the directory which can break any JS, CSS, images, or other non-ColdFusion files.
They do also include this note at the bottom:
Note: Encrypting your site files with cfencode does not guarantee absolute security of your source code, but it does add a layer of obfuscation to help prevent unauthorized individuals from viewing the source.
The article goes on to give basic instructions on how to use each.
Adobe has this note on their site regarding cfencode:
Note: You can also use the cfencode utility, located in the cf_root/bin directory, to obscure ColdFusion pages that you distribute. Although this technique cannot prevent persistent hackers from determining the contents of your pages, it does prevent inspection of the pages. The cfencode utility is not available on OS X.
I would also add that it will be trivial for anyone familiar with ColdFusion to decode anything encoded with this utility because they also provide the decoder.
Before asking this question I searched a lot about Logging (the terminal Debug Log) into a file for Tizen Application. I figured out some other ways to implement using several alternatives a bit complex pathway for this problem. But I want something straightforward, simple and builtin for Tizen Applications.
So here is what I want -
I will run a Tizen application written in C/C++. It will generate response logs on the terminal based on the several queries I ask to the app.
I want to save those logs into a specific file like file_name.log .
That file_name.log will be saved somewhere within my PC. Developer can change the location as my own.
Is there any command or an existing system for Tizen apps ?
Thank you in advance.
Read https://developer.tizen.org/development/guides/native-application/error-handling/system-logs about Tizen's built-in logging system.
As stated in the page, the logs can be also retrieved from the command line using sdb shell dlogutil [options...] [TAG], or simply sdb dlog [options...] [TAG]. So if you want to save the output as a file, simply do sdb dlog [-d] MY_APP > file_name.log. If this is not what you are searching for, please be more specific in your question.
I need to set up 500 different virtualhost in apache (httpd), with the same configuration. I thought it could be possible to use metacharacters or loops, instead of copying the same 500 times...
I tried to search some information, but I couldn't find any workaround. Does anybody know something regarding this issue?
Thank you all!
Looks like mod_macro might be what you are looking for.
Straight from the documentation:
Provides macros within Apache httpd runtime configuration files, to
ease the process of creating numerous similar configuration blocks.
When the server starts up, the macros are expanded using the provided
parameters, and the result is processed as along with the rest of the
configuration file.
I have an internal company need to create some sort of application which does the following daily at a specific time:
connects to our company's internal ftp url (not a secure url)
downloads a file with a specific file name
checks the newly downloaded file with the file downloaded the day before
throws an error if the file is the same or else displays a message saying all is good (or sends an email or something with that notification)
That's it. All i need to do is to check and make sure the file on the ftp is different from the day before.
Can anyone recommend an easy way of doing this? I've tried googling for a solution and not quite finding a straight answer.
I've been out of programming for the last 8 years but I still remember visual basic 6.0 and visual c++.
Please guide / suggest as you see fit.
Thank you :)
For vc++:
You could use any ftp client library for downloading a file. Take a look at this SO question which could be useful to you C++ FTP Library? . Then you need a proper way to chech the time. I think your program might need to run at statup and check for the system time at a specific interval if the time is due then download the file. For this you can take alook at this question How to get current time and date in C++? . Finally there are numerous ways for comparing the file and outputing the result, for starters is suggest you use the std.
I just purchased and installed a application from 3 Cds using registration key in pendrive. After installation, I just got a MFC Application (.exe). When i viewed the files, I found a data folder inside which I found many .scd files. The data is accessible within the application.
Now I would like to extract that scd files and need those data alone
separately.
I tried with FileViewPro, Scribus and many exe reader Software, but not successful.
Please someone help me to read the .scd files to extract the data from it.
Thanks in Advance,
First of all, please clarify what is the MFC application you are referring to? Was it installed? How do you know that it is MFC app?
Secondly, by giving just a file extension you do not provide enough information about a file. it could be MD scheduler, MS system management, TurboTax and many more.
The only way to do what you need is to find an application that does that or learn about a file format from documentation and write your own application.
It may be impossible if the file is proprietary format and there is no documentation released.
