Although its interface is deceptively simple, the command-line versions of 7ZIP are highly customizable archiving programs when used with the command parameters and switchesdescribed below. Windows users who want to use the command-line version should generate a Help Desk ticket to install the standalone 7za.exe version. To begin a session, open a terminal window. Invoke the version of 7Zip you are using by entering " 7z" for P7Zip (7z.exe), or "7za" for 7Zip for Windows (7za.exe) to start either the P7-Zip or 7za application prior to entering commands. Other than this program invocation command, all commands, parameters and switches are identical for all command-line versions. NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS: the following syntax examples begin by invoking the Linux command-line version, "7z". Please change the invocation to "7za" when applying these examples for use in 7-Zip for Windows. Command Line Syntax The general command line syntax begins by invoking the version of 7Zip you are using: "7z" for P7Zip (7z.exe) users or "7za" for 7Zip for Windows (7za.exe) users followed by the command and parameters: "command" "switches" "full_path_archive_name" "full_path_file_name" Eg; 7z a -p 7Zip_Archive Test_file.txt creates a 7z formatted archive named 7Zip_Archive that is protected with a password , then adds a file named test_file.txt to the archive.

  • 3. PE Portable Executable: a Look
    1. Introduction Anti-virus software has in true sense evolved a lot in these years. Time has gone where there were anti-virus software which used to detect the malwares or viruses based on scanning the executable hex`s dump and finding an appropriate string (also called as String based detection). Nowadays, more and more advanced technologies are been incorporated in detecting malwares for example, advanced heuristics, signature and its variants based, sandboxing, behavioral based approach etc. Now many AV not only offers deep scan option which scans almost all files stored in secondary memory but also scans offsets in the memory (also called as opcodes). But, if we look at the real-time statistics by Bit Defender AV[1] , we can come to know that each hour there are new malwares and viruses reported. This is shown in the figure below. Figure [1] Real-time virus reporting (Dated: 29/09/13) From the stats above one may have a question rising in their mind that nowadays the AVs scans each and every files even that present in the opcodes of the memory then why there is drastic spread of malwares as compared to last decade? The answer to these is that very smart people whom we call Crackers/Hackers have found the way to bypass these AVs. Page 1 They know the very detail about how the AV works and which AV have which type of detection capabilities for example if it scans based on string detection or if it scans based on sandboxing approach. We sometimes fail to remember that they (Crackers and Hackers) too have AV scanners from which they may scan their newly developed malware and viruses and can easily spread via plethora of medium, mostly the Internet.

    75 System 3 Software When you first buy a computer, it’s the hardware that gets all the attention. But what really makes the Mac what it is—an easy-to-use and highly customizable personal computer—is the system software. The system software creates the desktop, lets you organize your files in folders, and gives you capabilities—such as cutting and pasting text and graphics—that work in virtually any Mac program. In this chapter, we describe the basic components of the Mac system soft- ware. You’ll also find advice on system software installation and modification. 76 Chapter 3: System Software Contributors Contents Sharon Zardetto The Operating System.....................................................77 Aker (SZA) is the chapter editor.
