USB 3.0 20-pin header mod

xelrix — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 11:39:48 +0800

Is it okay to shave off the hard plastic (the bulky black holder piece) till its malleable enough to be bent 90 degree?

If yes, any tips to do this reliably/safely?

Pic for reference. Maybe shaves off half way up from the blue 20 pin till the 20 pin wires exposed?

DIY Indoor Steamboat

xelrix — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 21:56:30 +0800

I'm sick of going outside, sitting among strangers just to have my soupy boat fix.

Thinking about buying one of those portable butane burner and have my steamboat in the comfort of my home.

Still, i have some concerns, mainly regarding safety, specifically with burning fuels in an enclosed indoor space (CO poisoning, fire hazards)

I mean, i know im alone, but i still like living. Dont want this to be another suicide attempt.

Morbid joke aside, i wonder if i should by an electric burner, a specialized electric steamboat stove, or settle with butane burner.

Also,I would really appreciate any tips on making this safer and/or more enjoyable. Mainly regarding prepwork, ambience stuff, cleaning, etc.

anybody out there wear glove in office/server room?

where to get glove...

[addedon]July 5, 2011, 3:26 pm[/addedon]If you're in a cold room and need to type, many gloves are too fat (how do you type with boxing gloves on?) - any ideas on gloves that could keep your hands warm while typing on a cold keyboard?

how to make a selfinject dll to...

xelrix — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:09:01 +0800

my project is a selfinjecting, c++, gamehack dll.
selfinjected using some gamefile exploit... (ya. abit shady there.)

problem:
whenever i exit the game, i always get an error about certain address cant be read/written.
ive googled about unloading dll on program exit but most of the solutions ive found is regarding an injector unloading the dll, not the dll itself unloading it.

here is my code:

CODE

#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
extern "C"

DWORD GetPIDForProcess(char* process);
void EnableDebugPriv();
DWORD GetDLLBase(char* DllName,DWORD tPid);

#define PATCH(i,w,l)WriteProcessMemory(hProc,reinterpret_cast<LPVOID>(gameBase+i),w,l,&dSize)
unsigned long Protection;

int Patcher()
{
EnableDebugPriv();
HANDLE hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,false,GetPIDForProcess("TEST.EXE"));
DWORD gameBase = GetDLLBase("Test.dll",GetPIDForProcess("TEST.EXE"));
DWORD dSize = 0;
while(1)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F4))
{
// offsets here
}

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F5))
{
// offsets here
}
}
return 0;
}

DWORD GetPIDForProcess (char* process)
{
BOOL working = 0;
PROCESSENTRY32 lppe = {0};
DWORD targetPid = 0;

HANDLE hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS,0);
if (hSnapshot)
{
lppe.dwSize = sizeof(lppe);
working = Process32First(hSnapshot,&lppe);
while (working)
{
if (_stricmp(lppe.szExeFile,process) == 0)
{
targetPid = lppe.th32ProcessID;
break;
}
working = Process32Next(hSnapshot,&lppe);
}
}
CloseHandle(hSnapshot);
return targetPid;
}

void EnableDebugPriv()
{
HANDLE hToken;
LUID sedebugnameValue;
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp;

if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(),
TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY,&hToken))
return;
if (!LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL,SE_DEBUG_NAME,&sedebugnameValue))
{
CloseHandle(hToken);
return;
}
tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1;
tkp.Privileges[0].Luid = sedebugnameValue;
tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
if (!AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken,FALSE,&tkp,sizeof tkp,NULL,NULL))
CloseHandle(hToken);
}

DWORD GetDLLBase(char* DllName,DWORD tPid)
{
HANDLE snapMod;
MODULEENTRY32 me32;

if (tPid == 0) return 0;
snapMod = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE,tPid);
me32.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
if (Module32First(snapMod,&me32))
{
do
{
if (strcmp(DllName,me32.szModule) == 0)
{
CloseHandle(snapMod);
return (DWORD) me32.modBaseAddr;
}
}
while (Module32Next(snapMod,&me32));
}
CloseHandle(snapMod);
return 0;
}
extern "C"
{
__declspec(dllexport) BOOL __stdcall DllMain(HINSTANCE hInst,DWORD reason,LPVOID lpv)
{
DisableThreadLibraryCalls(hInst);
if (reason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
CreateThread(NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)&Patcher,NULL,0,NULL);
}
return true;
}
}

some c++ prob. simple one. really.

xelrix — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:52:22 +0800

sry guys for being in the wrong section but i beg of u guys...

CODE

__declspec(dllexport) int main(char codetype)
{
EnableDebugPriv();
HANDLE hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, GetPIDForProcess("hwind"));
DWORD gameBase = GetDLLBase("hdll",GetPIDForProcess("hwind"));
DWORD dSize = 0;
if codetype = 11 then
elseif codetype = 12 then
elseif codetype = 21 then
elseif codetype = 22 then
end if
return 0;
}

Error

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'codetype'

what should i do?

need help implementing a feature

xelrix — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 02:53:51 +0800

my gui is a vb.net form
my dll is c++ coded

main concern is the dll.
what i want is i want the dll to do a function base on a value decided from the gui. (vb form)
something like, if i tick a radio box, it will return value "1".
my dll would take that value and do the function that will execute when the value is "1"
and when i tick radiobox2, it will do function for value "2"

my problem is:
- how do i code the dll so that it can read that value returned by the radioboxes (which is from the vb.net)
- how do i code the radioboxes so that it can return the value that could be read by my dll

or is there any alternatives i could do?

at first, what i did was compile 4 dll that has the same functions, only different output.
the function is a writeprocessmemory.
dll1 would patch this address if radiobox1 is ticked
dll2 would patch that address if radiobox2 is ticked

the problem is i call the function from dll2 because it has the same name as dll1, which is main()
ive tried to change the dll2 main() to main2() but later on when i call it thru my gui, it gave error:
cant find entry point main2 from dll2.dll.
ive made sure the name is the same.
ive search the internet and theres a problem with name mangling or decoration or some sort and solution would be to use a .def file.
but when ive include the def, it would say:
error linking dll2.lib

another strange thing is:
my dll1 works fine. (the memory patching goes thru)
but when i rebuild dll1 without changing anything. then cut paste and overwrite the previous dll1, i got the noentrypoint error. the after like a number times of rebuild (3times rebuilding), the dll works again.
i called the function using the same vbnet form.

im using visual studio 2008 express.
my question here, which is the problematic one, my vb gui or my c++ dll?

how to use a value from another sub?

xelrix — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:35:38 +0800

here is my code

CODE

Private Sub RB124B_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RB124B.Click
Dim EnablePatch As String
Dim DisablePatch As String
EnablePatch = "E124B.EXE"
DisablePatch = "D124B.EXE"
End Sub

Private Sub RB124C_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RB124C.Click
Dim EnablePatch As String
Dim DisablePatch As String
EnablePatch = "E124C.EXE"
DisablePatch = "D124C.EXE"
End Sub

Private Sub Disable_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Disable.Tick
Dim SHIFT As Boolean
Dim F5 As Boolean
SHIFT = CBool(GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.ShiftKey))
F5 = CBool(GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.F5))
If SHIFT And F5 = True Then
MsgBox(DisablePatch)
End If
End Sub

the first 2 sub is for 2 radioboxes
the last sub is a hotkeytimer.
what i wanna do is, i want to pop out a messagebox showing the strings based on the value of disablepatch from either of the other 2 sub when i pushed my hotkey (shift+f5).
something like, if i tick radiobox RB124B, comes out dialog box with "D124B.EXE".
if i tick RB124C, coomes out dialog box with "D124C.EXE".

and i might use that with createprocess function to call exe based on which did i tick.

edit:
Public DisablePatch as String
at declaration

could u guys check these codes for me.

xelrix — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 08:27:26 +0800

nvm. screwed up codes...

i really need help converting these to vb

xelrix — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:04:36 +0800

i would really appreciate it if somebody could help trans these to vb.net or vb6:

CODE

#define PATCH(i,w,l) WriteProcessMemory(hProc,reinterpret_cast<LPVOID>(gameBase+i),w,l,&dSize)
#define NPATCH(i,w,l) WriteProcessMemory(hProc,reinterpret_cast<LPVOID>(i),w,l,&dSize)

CODE

NPATCH(0x4559EC,"\x60\x0B\xC0\x75\x2F\x8A\x8E\xD0\x02\x00\x00\x80\xF9\x01\x74\x51\xC6\x86\xD0\x02\x00\x00\x01\xC6\x86\xD1\x02\x00\x00\x01\xC6\x86\xD2\x02\x00\x00\xFF\x8B\xCE\xB8\xFF\x01\x01\xFF\xFF\x15\x60\x5A\x45\x00\xEB\x2D\x8A\x8E\xD0\x02\x00\x00\x80\xF9\xFF\x74\x22\xC6\x86\xD0\x02\x00\x00\xFF\xC6\x86\xD1\x02\x00\x00\xFF\xC6\x86\xD2\x02\x00\x00\xFF\x8B\xCE\xB8\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\x15\x60\x5A\x45\x00\x61\xB8\x01\x00\x00\x00\x23\xD8\x89\x44\x24\xE4\xFF\x35\x65\x5A\x45\x00\xC3",116);

DWORD addr[3];
addr[0] = gameBase + 0x29E270;
addr[1] = gameBase + 0x39A3BF;
addr[2] = 0x4559EC;
NPATCH(0x455A60,&addr[0],sizeof(DWORD));
NPATCH(0x455A65,&addr[1],sizeof(DWORD));
NPATCH(0x455A6A,&addr[2],sizeof(DWORD));
PATCH(0x39A3B9,"\xFF\x25\x6A\x5A\x45\x00",6);
if(dSize == 0)
{
cout << "Patching failed" << endl;
}

and explanations would be AWESOME!

what's in her mind?

xelrix — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:40:57 +0800

known this girl.

cut things short, she has signaling stuff so many times and finally, i've noticed her.
i've did every indirect confession steps.
except the try to make her laugh as im not really good at jokes. twisted sense of humor.
kinda weird but she did laugh at any remarks ive made like classes, some of her friends (if THEY started the flamefest), the lecturers.
and comes the part of asking her out. i don't know if asking her for lunch could be considered as asking her out but she accepted it and we did have lunch together.
she's the talkative, easy going kind of girl but that day, she was silent all the time like the cafe we were at was a library. i do have a hard time maintaining even a 3 minutes conversation that day.
she made excuses later so she could go home. i assume that was a bad sign as if she really need to get going, she could just say it without the excuses.
walked her back and during trip i noticed she tried to hold hands or something. as it would be kind of scandalous to do such thing there at that time, i somewhat declined. she blushed.
next 2 days, at class, she were all out in ignoring me. no hi-ing me back. none of the usual things we would do.
i feel so confused and all. tried to ask her what was wrong but she didn't gave me a chance.

question is, should i take that as a rejection and move on?
last thing i need for this term is a distraction like this. (a good relationship is a motivation but a things like this...)
i may sound cold but i am interested in her.
i am.
though the feeling is slowly diminishing as in now.
