I was able to use ControllerMate to build a simple connection of three blocks:ĬontrollerMate then runs in the background under OS X, watches the Scroll Lock key, keeps track of it’s on/off state with the “Toggle”, and tells the keyboard’s Scroll Lock light (aka the keyboard backlight) to stay on after I press the Scroll Lock key, then stay off after I press it again. ControllerMate is free to try out, and $15 to buy, which is an incredible bargain. It uses a “connect the blocks” graphical design system to let you assign key / button presses to various sorts of actions, including things like: running AppleScript scripts telling keyboard lights to turn on and off (!) sending single keystrokes (in other words, remapping keys on the keyboard–handy for Windows-Mac “switchers” and those with keyboards that are missing some of the function keys) sending strings of key presses, mouse movements/clicks, and delays (shades of QuicKeys, which it would be an excellent adjunct to) application launches and nifty add-ons like logic and arithmetic. CM also supports all of the standard keys and buttons from USB keyboards and mice, plus a ton of esoteric ones. CM plugs into OS X and allows it to see inputs from various USB gadgets like joysticks and game controllers. So, that was enough of an excuse for me to start hacking away at the problem.Īfter many false starts and dead ends, I stumbled across a wonderful product called ControllerMate. As with many eBay bargains, the price of the keyboard wasn’t much more than the shipping cost, so if I paid for the shipping to return it, I’d only net a few bucks after getting my refund. Well, once I figured this out, I was faced with a choice: return the keyboard for a refund, or try to figure out how to get the Mac to support the Scroll Lock key. So, when the Frisby keyboard is hooked up to a Mac, pressing the Scroll Lock key is ignored by OS X, and thus OS X never tells the keyboard to turn the backlight on. Worse, some operating systems (Mac OS X mainly) don’t really know about or care about the Scroll Lock key and don’t support it OS X doesn’t keep track of the Scroll Lock’s on/off toggle state, and doesn’t tell the keyboard to turn the Scroll Lock LED on and off. At first glance, this seems like a clever idea, except for a couple of problems: Some applications (Excel for one) and gadgets (many low-price KVM switches) also make use of the Scroll Lock key, and expect it to be available. Here’s apparently what’s going on: The Frisby keyboard (along with many other budget illuminated keyboards) uses the Scroll Lock key as a switch for the backlight because it essentially replaces the Scroll Lock indicator light with the entire keyboard backlight. What was going on?Ī lot of googling led me to believe that this problem is fairly common on Macs, Linux PCs, and even under Windows, although not many people have found a solution. But, when I first plugged the keyboard into the USB port (or into a powered USB hub), it did light up for about 1/2 second or so. Pushing it didn’t do anything, even when pressed in combo with Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Windows/Command, or any gaggle of the above. The instructions that came with the keyboard (all 1/8 page of them) indicated that the Scroll Lock key was the On/Off switch for the keyboard’s backlight. In fact, the scroll wheel, volume knob, and mute button all “just worked”. When I first plugged it into my Mac, it didn’t work. The only thing it lacks is indicator lights for the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys. Not only is it illuminated, but it has a scrollwheel, volume knob, and like 20 extra buttons (in addition to the usual 16 or so function keys). I just bought a cheap Frisby illuminated keyboard on eBay. ![]() ![]() According to people on the CM forum, this is likely because the controller is both USB and BlueTooth, and it is still paired with the PS3 overall the Mac needs to send some sort of handshake signal to the controller to get it talking over USB. But CM doesn’t see any of the button presses from the controller. Yes, CM does, and it sees all the buttons and even the tilt sensors. I plugged my PS3’s SIXAXIS controller into the Mac to see if ControllerMate could see it. But it works well, I like it, and it was really cheap on eBay. The scrollwheel still works, for instance. (The standard function keys are tied to the keyboard device.) The strange thing is that some of the mouse buttons still work after the Mac sleeps, but most don’t. What is a little surprising is that all of the 20-odd buttons around the edges of the keyboard are tied to the mouse device. I suppose that this isn’t terribly surprising considering that the keyboard includes a scroll wheel. ControllerMate showed me something interesting about the Frisby keyboard: The keyboard actually reports itself as two separate USB devices, a keyboard and a mouse.

![]() For this reason, it is not uncommon for civilians to fear and detest pirates out of sheer principle, even if they have never personally met any. Pirates are stereotypically portrayed as greedy, violent, and ruthless, willing to hurt innocent people and destroy property to gain what they want, be it treasure, power, or even personal amusement. Richie, Momoo) to also sail under a Jolly Roger and attain comparable reputations. Bepo), and even non-sapient animals ( e.g. Dorry, Brogy, Sanjuan Wolf), Minks ( e.g. Arlong Pirates, Sun Pirates, New Fish-Man Pirates), giants ( e.g. Alvida, Nami, Jewelry Bonney), fish-men and merfolk ( e.g. While the majority of pirates are male humans, it is not unheard of for women ( e.g. The overall connotations of such a symbol is strong enough that the Marines have been known to attack ships flying it on sight, even if those onboard are not identified with any particular bounty or crime. The Jolly Roger has countless variants, each pirate group designing their own versions of the flag to represent their crew. ![]() In the world of One Piece, perhaps the trait most universal to pirates, beside their sea-going activities and general defiance of the law, is the Jolly Roger, a skull-and-crossbones symbol depicting intimidation, usually flown on black flags at the top of a pirate ship's mast, as well as on its sails. These people fly a black flag with a skull atop their ship's mast. they are criminals who sail the seas in search of plunder. On the Blue Sea below, there are a class of people called "pirates". ![]() While the English word "pirate" is derived from the Latin pirata ("pirate, corsair, sea robber") and Greek πειρατής ( peiratēs: "brigand"), the Japanese word for pirate, kaizoku, is comprised of the kanji for "sea/ocean" ( 海 ?) and "thief/robber" ( 賊 ?), in analogy to such terms as " bandit" ( 盗賊, tōzoku ?). ![]() Being aware of that is important before you use them for cakes. ![]() Another important thing to remember when it comes to Almond Paste vs Marzipan is that both can trigger egg and nut allergies. It is sweeter, easier to prepare and can be used in several dishes. The high amount of sugar in Marzipan makes the Marzipan easier to roll out and smootherīased on the differences rather than the similarities, Marzipan is considered superior over the Almond Paste. ![]() Marzipan, on the other hand, is generally draped over or rolled over cakes Almond Paste is generally used to fill in tarts, cakes, cookies and other forms of dessert Marzipan usually has a higher sugar ratio than the ratio of almonds Almond Paste is made using equal proportions of sugar and almonds and other ingredients When it comes to taste, Marzipan is sweeter while Almond Paste has a taste similar to that of almond extracts. It can also be formed into a number of decorations such as figures or fruits. Marzipan, on the other hand, is generally draped over or rolled over cakes. Depending on the kind of recipe followed, it can be uncooked or cooked. I imagine Finns use a fair bit of almond paste, since Sweden, Norway, and Denmark all use copious amounts.Almond Paste is generally used to fill in tarts, cakes, cookies and other forms of dessert. Then, grind it absolutely as fine and smooth as possible without burning out your food processor. If you want to use this recipe as marzipan, I would add 150 g of sugar and 25 g of honey without increasing the amount of water. Most of the time, almond paste is used as an ingredient inside various baked goods, whereas marzipan is used as decoration on the outside, either rolled out like fondant or shaped and painted like little sculptures (which I have no patience for, personally – heh). In the professional food world, there are many different definitions of what can be considered marzipan – there’s British marzipan, French marzipan, German marzipan, Danish marzipan, and who knows how many other variations, but at home, it just depends on what you want to do with it. The reason I add the caveat of “yes,” however, is that for most home cooks, there’s not much distinguishable difference. In Germany, there are even laws governing that marzipan can only be called “marzipan” if it is a strict ratio of two parts sugar to one part almonds (!), with rose water as the only legal additive (as opposed to the almond extract I’ve called for here, since I love a strong almond flavor). The real answer should be “no,” as marzipan has as higher sugar content than almond paste and is generally more pliable, which you can achieve by increasing the amount of sugar in the syrup, kneading in a bit of butter, and/or by adding a raw egg white in the blending stage. This tastes like it came straight off the confectioner's worktable in the old-world and it's just the right texture to knead and shape as desired.Īnd one note about using both sugar and honey – I've tried the recipe using various amounts of each, including JUST sugar or JUST honey, but definitely the best texture and best moisture is found with the ratio used here. Almond paste is used as a filling in pastries, but it can also be found in. It is similar to marzipan, but has a coarser texture. In my estimation, it makes a far superior paste to the egg-and-powdered-sugar version that I've made in the past. Almond paste is made from ground almonds or almond meal and sugar in equal quantities, with small amounts of cooking oil, beaten eggs, heavy cream or corn syrup 1 added as a binder. Yes, you're still eating sugar, and yes, that definitely means some modicum of moderation should be called for, but you will be reducing the absolute havoc that is wreaked upon a body by ingesting highly refined sugar.īut all preaching aside, this method of making almond paste is simple and stunning. So, what to do when you're planning on giving in to the aforementioned love of almond paste and eating copious amounts of it? You find a method that allows you to use a sugar that's not highly refined. The problem is – and yes, you've heard this before – it uses refined sugar. Almond paste is an absolutely ubiquitous, don't-you-dare-not-have-it pantry staple in our house around Christmas time. Between the Dutch, Swedish, and German heritages that make up our family, almond paste shows up in a whoooooole lot of traditional Christmas recipes. Technologies are researched at specific buildings, to which they are generally related for example, religious research is done in temples and improved armor is researched at the Storage Pit. Technology Main article: Technology (Age of Empires) The civilizations are sorted into four distinct architectural styles, based on East Asian, Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek architecture, which determines their in-game appearance. Players choose to play as one of 12 civilizations. Other significant discoveries include new terrain templates, a mode to treble each unit's hit points, and a tool to edit map sizes.Ĭivilizations Main article: Civilization (Age of Empires) This allows units to be placed on any terrain and on top of other units, which creates new possibilities for design. Through data editing, the rules of unit placement can also be modified. Some obscure units include a spaceship and a hero that changes ownership when units move near it. In late 2005, it was discovered that by modifying various data files, units present in the beta versions of the game could be made available in the editor. Various unofficial sites exist where custom scenarios can be submitted and downloaded. Ensemble Studios used the Scenario Builder to make the single-player campaigns which shipped with the retail game. ![]() This tool is simpler and easier to learn than comparable editors used in more modern games, but it has fewer capabilities as a result. The creation of user-made scenarios or series of scenarios (campaigns) for the game was made possible using the Scenario Builder. At that point, the Zone abandoned support of most CD-ROM games, including Age of Empires and Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. Until 19 June 2006, multiplayer gameplay was supported by the Microsoft Gaming Zone. Variations of random maps, such as the resource-heavy " Deathmatch", are also available.Īge of Empires also facilitated online and network play with up to 8 people simultaneously. Obtain and hold all Artifacts on the map for 2,000 years.Acquire and hold all Ruins on the map for 2,000 years.Build and defend a Wonder for 2,000 years (5 minutes).Victory can be achieved by the following conditions: There is a single-player game mode called " random map", in which a different map is generated for each new game. The beta version included Dawn of Civilization, which is similar to the Egyptian campaign in the final version. The demo version also includes the Reign of the Hittites ( Hittites) campaign, which was later included in Definitive Edition, as well as the Bronze Age Art of War scenario. Campaigns are a collection of scenarios which are completed in a linear fashion. The game features four single-player campaigns in which the player is required to complete specific objectives. Advancement between ages is researched at the Town Center and each advancement brings the player new technologies, weapons, and units. These are the Stone Age (Mesolithic/Paleolithic), Tool Age (Neolithic/Chalcolithic), Bronze Age and Iron Age. A major component of the game is the advancement through four ages. Each civilization has technologies unique to them, so that no civilization possesses all the technologies possible within the game. Twelve civilizations are available, each with individual sets of attributes, including a varying number of available technologies and units. ![]() Resources must also be preserved, as no new resources become available as the game progresses, meaning if you cut a tree down, the tree will not grow back. To ensure victory, the player must gather resources in order to pay for new units, buildings and more advanced technologies. The span of time represented by the game is roughly 12,000 BC to 500 AD.

Stay tuned, as my party prepared to descend to lvl 2 of the Maze.Ĭorrection: no wandering monsters. This combined with low Resurrect cost makes the game easier than Wiz 1 so far. Instead he's dying, so if you heal him before taking another blow, you can save him. In combat a character does not die immediately if going below 0 HP. Resurrection cost is far lower than in Wizardry, but I decided to replace him with a Human Mage instead. The game is supposed to be harder than Wiz 1, but so far I've had only one character death - the Elf Mage. I have't seen single chest so far for the Hobbit to meddle with, and there's little need for casting mage spells on lvl 1 of the Maze. The Dwarf since he's a killing machine and the Gnome because she's got lots of spell points to cast healing spells. Of these only the Fighter and Cleric has made a difference so far. Personally I went with a Dwarf Fighter, a Hobbit Thief, a Gnome Cleric and an Elf Mage. So a major decision in the game will wether to use demihumans or not, or use them only in the beginning. The game has also adopted D&D's rule of making demihumans very powerful in the beginning, but useless at the highest levels. The game is much more configurable than other blobbers, so you can make the party ignore everything less valuable than gold coins, for example. Using the currency from D&D with copper coins weighing down your party was not a good decision, methinks. If the program takes several second to generate the encounter, you know it will be a big one. There's a more limited menagerie than on the first level of Wiz 1, but each enemy seems to have a wider variery of equipment, and many will use items. There's no monsters in the rooms, they are most usually found just outside the room, and less frequently in the hallways. The author seems to have been a world class Apple fanboi, since nearly every message mentions Apple. On lvl 1 there's no fixed encounters and only a handful of messages. The maps are 27x27 in size, but there's very few squares of interest. I have explored nearly all of lvl 1, and I can't say I'm directly impressed. At lvl 3 they can meet up to two parties with 1-8 enemies each.Īt lvl 3, while still exploring lvl 1 of the Maze, some monsters start fleeing from combat. At lvl 2 they encountered single parties with 1-6 enemies. My lvl 1 party encountered only single parties with 1-4 enemies. ![]() Doing so may in fact be a way to oppose the main decline compared to the Wizardry games: Level Scaling. One interesting thing is that the game even features the change classes back and forth scheme of Wiz 6-7, even though written before those games. ![]() When you get enough stats and character levels you can promote characters to prestige classes, like Ranger, Druid, Assassin, Wizard, Monk and Mystic. So if you start with 18 Luck and 6 Str, you can sell 1 point of Luck and buy 3-4 points of STR, while at character creation all points have the same "price". It still pays to max out stats, though, since the game has a facility called the Proving Grounds, where you can "buy" and "sell" stat points. In Silvern it's my impression that they are more evenly distributed. In Wiz 1-5 you only got bonuses if having stats of 16-18. The gameplay is pretty similar too, but with some additional rules/annoyances, like Encumbrance.Īccording to the manual stats can go both up or down at level ups, but so far the worst thing that's happened was that one character got no stat increases at all. ![]() Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.

Just like previously, we can immediately identify what is probably hardcoded just by looking at the activity layout: the vendor key. So, we are expected to find what is being hardcoded and where. When we open the Hardcoding Issues Part Two section we are met with the following objective: find out what is hardcoded and where. What: Vendor Secret Key > vendorsecretkey.Voila, we have gained access to the system! □ Immediately we can see that the vendor key is hardcoded, thus we can copy the " vendorsecretkey" value and pop it into our app. Let's head into JADX-GUI and open up the HardcodeActivity activity to see if we can find anything in the source code. From the get-go, we can immediately identify what will be hardcoded: the vendor key. When we open the Hardcoding Issues Part One section we are met with the following objective: find out what is hardcoded and where. This is not only bad from a programming perspective since the developer will have to manually change this value every time they want to update it, but from a security perspective, it allows attackers to easily exploit or hijack firmware, devices, systems, and software. For example:Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode When a programmer hardcodes a value, it means that they type it into the application, making it a static value. So, in summary, we were able to find the following: Maybe logging sensitive information is not the best way to capture this information? When we look at the code, we can identify the section where it does the actual logging, thus confirming that it is logging our credit card number. Easy peasy, just load up your DIVA APK into JADX-GUI and open up the LogActivity activity. BAD LOGCAT! Now we know how it is being logged, via the LogCat Output in Android Studio underneath a log labeled diva-log.įinally, we need to find the vulnerable code. When we scroll down, we see that our credit card number has been logged. We can see that it logs everything, which is bad because say we have a user that downloads a malicious APK that secretly monitors their log when they use the app - the attacker can then use this monitored log to read sensitive data, and exploit them in this way. ![]() Open up Android Studio and navigate over to the LogCat Output. where did our data go? The first culprit that we can look at is LogCat in Android Studio. Let's see if we can see how it is being logged, ie. With our number entered, we get an error popup. Thus, our credit card number is probably the data that is being logged (what). From first impressions, just by looking at the activity layout (which is the page opened on our screen), we can see that it asks us for our credit card numbers. Let's try and answer these objectives one by one. So, we are expected to find what is being logged, how it is logged, and the vulnerable code. When we open the Insecure Logging section we are met with the following objective: find out what is being logged where/how and the vulnerable code. In this section, we will be testing the Insecure Logging and Hardcoding Issues (Part 1 & 2) sections of this application. Okay, let's get hacking!
