Recently I had a purchased a large quantity of equipment that had no password recovery method. This entry is an overview of password frequencies. The data was derived from the hacked Gawker website data. The raw data is available as a bit torrent.

Also available online is a breakdown of 10,000 hotmail passwords.

Thraex Installer Issues

Used with Single Kiln Controller software

Thraex Installer

Thraex DLL Registration via > Advanced page and select the "Register ActiveX control / Type Library" option
Brute force registration using RegSvr32.exe Execute and wait
The installer only calls DllRegisterServer function from the DLLs and shows an error if this function returns an error so there isn't much the installer could do differently. You could however probably suppress the errors by using regsvr32.exe to register the DLL files instead of using the built-in functionality of the installer. You should be able to register your files with regsvr32.exe simply by including that in your installation and then adding couple of Execute Program actions through Interactive and Shell page that call <InstallDir>\regsvr32.exe and set Command Line to "<InstallDir>\dao350.dll" (<InstallDir> should obviously be replaced with something else if these files won't be put under the base installation directory).

Win32 SDK Tools > How to Install Is towards the bottom: If you have Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and installed the Win32 SDK Tools, you can start Dependency Walker using the following steps:

Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, and then point to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Tools. Click Depends.

If you do not have the Win32 SDK Tools installed, follow these steps to install them:

Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Click the Install/Uninstall tab, and then double-click Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0.
In the Setup dialog box, click Add/Remove.
In the Options list, select Tools (do not click the check box), and then click Change Option.

If you have the standalone Visual Basic 6.0 product, you can find Dependency Walker in the COMMON\TOOLS\VB\UNSUPPRT\DEPEND folder on Disk 1.
The Dependency Walker, among other tools, is included with the Platform SDK under the Tools\Platform SDK Tools in the installer. After installing the needed portions of the SDK, you can find Depends.exe on the Start menu underMicrosoft Platform SDK\Tools\Depends. (The utility works on Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium, Microsoft Windows NT, and Microsoft Windows 2000.) The documentation for the utility is in Depends.hlp, which can be found in \Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin.

Multiple Computer SetUp with Multiple Monitors per Computer

Synergy desktop fusion software. Use same keyboard / mouse over a number of computers with shared clipboard

MCS – Multiple Computer Setup

The idea is to use multiple computers and have a seamless desktop where

the clipboard is common from computer to computer
you can slide from 1 monitor to another
copy and paste files from one computer to another
use a single keyboard and mouse
not be required to use the same operating system on each system

I found an open source project that seems promising named Synergy. NOTE( June 2019 ): Yes it worked too well now the project is commercial software. The following links redirect to the commercial page.
