Automate Logins with Keepass and Firefox

Roland — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:01:10 +0000

A long time ago, but now it’s here!

everyone knows it’s very annoing if you have to login to multiple websites during work days. It would be much easier to have a tool tool, what helps us to automate the login process to websites like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Onlinebanking, etc.., where i am registered to. That would safe time and increases workflow and you don’t need to consider about passowrds anymore. Before this article i used a very simple tool to manage my passwords. I also heard and tested Keepass in the past, but it brought no advantage on my workflow.

Now I found this tool via Lifehacker.com RSS-Feeds. I was assured by this tool as i finished reading this article. KeeFox closes the gap between Firefox and Keepass, to automate website logins. It’s a very young Firefox Add-On but it works perfekt for me, and i already switched over to it. If you are a Fan of Keepass, and Firefox is your browser of choice than you have the perfect package, in conjunction with KeeFox.

Here are some action shots from KeeFox:

Process Uptime Utillity

I wrote a small tool, what receives the uptime of an running process. Simply choose a PID of a process and enter it into the tool. This is possible trough input box or over a commandline call.

Debug Chooser – A tool to choose between multiple Debugger in the Taskmanager

Roland — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:30:44 +0000

The “Debug Chooser” is a tool primary developed to have multiple debugger applications/options in the taskmanager available.

What else can i told you about this tool. All options are configured trough an INI file, you can configure an application timeout, wich ends the debug chooser after a time period and launches the selected application. Its a tiny little application, what saves a lot of work if you have to work with multiple debugger. But it also runs stand alone as well and you mustn’t register it to AeDebug

Here is an sample how the debug chooser is called over the taskmanager.

Please feel free to download it, test it and post me some comments, or feature request for this tool.

File Version: 0.0.1.49
Supported OS: WIN2000|XP|2003|VISTA
Programming language: AutoIT
Language version: 3.2.12.1

Tool for setting default printers (on Users, local & remote computernames)

Roland — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:22:56 +0000

I know there are a lot of tools on the web for setting a default printer depending on different cases. But for me they were all to complex a little bit. I want it more easier and wrote my own SetDefaultPrinter tool wich tries to set a default printer, depending on a username or a local computername or a remote computername (if your users working in terminal server sessions and you have to set the default printer wich ich connected to a special local client).

My tool works as follows…. Just simply implement this tool during the logon process or where else you need it, and if it’s called, the tool parses the “sdp.ini” file. If there is a valid entry, then a set default printer call will be executed through the tool. It always follows the order: Local computer, remote computer and username. So the local computer is always the highest value in the hierachy.

Easily transfer FSMO Roles vom one DC to a another

Roland — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:37:55 +0000

I’ve wrote a nice batch script how you can transfer FSMO Roles from one domaincontroller to a another. With some simple choices you can move roles between domaincontrollers in a AD environment.

Therefor i use the NTDSUTIL.EXE of the Windows Server Support Tools wich is installed by default on a Windows Domaincontroller.

Before you can use the script: Look if the path to NTDSUTIL.EXE is in the %PATH% variable, to call it globally. Or copy NTDSUTIL.EXE into the script directory. CHOICE.EXE is used to handle the choosable options in the script.

Script call: FSMOtransfer.bat [DNSDOMAIN]

Where [DNSDOMAIN] Must be a Fully Qualified Domain name (FQDN) of a existing Microsoft Active Directory Domain. The script works only if you are logged on as a administrator

Happy Coding!

Backup Tool for Cisco Devices

Roland — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 07:40:20 +0000

Because i have a lot to do with cisco network environments, i searched for a tool, wich i can use, to backup a amount of cisco network devices quick and easy through TFTP. But i didn’t find any good tool, wich provides this feature. After a lot of research work, i deceided to write my own “Cisco Device Backup Tool”.

The basics on my tool based on a simple theory. One unique username must be configured on all cisco devices, and an easy configurable .ini file wehre i can do the main configuration and backup settings.

For my tool i used the scripting language AutoIT Script. A powerful development kit where you easily can create GUI’s, fuctions and much more things. Since version 3.2.x AutoIt even supports commands to control the Windows TCP stack.

The function of my tool is very simple. It opens a TELNET (23, TCP) socket and connect to the remote device. After a successful logon, the application set off some commands onto the device, to trigger the backup process. This would be done 1:n times, as much devices are configured in the CDB Backup configuration file (bakconfig.ini).

See Cisco Device Backup in Action:

Here you can download a clean version (V1.3.0.6) of
Cisco Device Backup (cdb_setup_v13.exe, 349KB)

Please test my tool and leave some positive or less positive commects about my tool. – Have a good time!

Fehlersuche/Troubleanalyse mit dem EventLog und seinen Tools

Roland — Fri, 25 May 2007 10:56:14 +0000

Folgende Commandline-Tools sind zur Fehleranalyse unter Windows 2000 | XP | 2003 geeignet:

Das mit cscript startende VB-Script: EventQuery.vbs (ist beim Windows Server 2k3 im Resource Kit mit dabei) und WMIC.EXE (eine Schnittstelle der Windows Management Instrumentation, kann diesen Fehler auslesen auch vom lokalen System uns vom Remote Hosts)
WMI ist ein ‘Common Standard’ welcher immer mehr in den Vordergrund rückt. Bietet auch Schnittstellen für VB, C, .NET….

Hier ein kleines Beispiel, was WMIC so alles kann:

wmic /NODE:”%computername%” NTEVENT GET Message

Auch Ausgaben in HTML sind bei manchen Schaltern moeglich!

Copy To.. Befehl im Kontextmenue anzeigen

Roland — Fri, 25 May 2007 10:29:33 +0000

Wer gerne mal schnell files ueber das Kontextmenue kopieren moechte, der kann dies jetzt ganz problemlos machen.

In der Registry gibt es einen Pfad, in dem ein neuer Unterschluessel [Copy To] erstellt werden muss: [HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]

Der Defaultwert “@” in dem Teilschluessel muss mit einer bestimmten Class-ID aufgefuellt werden: {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Um den Copy To in Kontextmenue zu bekommen, habe ich eine kleine .reg-Datei geschrieben, in welcher dies alles vorbereitet ist.

Download: Copy To.. install script

viel Spass beim Kopieren
