R e a Overview c t Since the past decade, developers from around the world have been working hard to make O ReactOS a reality. Intended to be fully compatible with Windows applications and hardware drivers, ReactOS will finally provide an alternative to people wishing to embrace open source S but remain hindered by the lack of Linux versions for their everyday software or incompatible hardware. ReactOS is an open implementation of the Windows platform, built 0 . from the ground up with an NT-compatible kernel, Win32 subsystem and shell. It ships with 3 . its own version of the familiar Explorer shell, ensuring newcomers will have a familiar and 1 seamless experience. Not only that, ReactOS aims to avoid many common security pitfalls caused by poor planning or implementation in Windows, better protecting users from malicious viruses and attacks. 0.3.1 The ReactOS 0.3.1 release is the first release after the implementation of TCP/IP. Many of the changes were at the kernel level, in the forms of replacing outdated code and implementing missing functionality. Though not as stable on regular hardware, 0.3.1 does boast some speed and functionality improvements. The tendency to crash has been reduced greatly, as evidenced by failed attempts to demonstrate the blue screen of death at FOSDEM. Wallpapers were also included for the first time, though support for them was added in long ago. Overall, 0.3.1 provides an incremental example of the work done by the developers and a preview of the many exciting features to come. ê! Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.1 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature complete and is not recommended for everyday use. ReactOS is ©1996-2007 ReactOS Team & Contributors ReactOS0.3.1 System requirements Pentium 200Mhz (or compatible) 32MB RAM 2MB VGA Graphics adapter (4MB SVGA recommended) 150MB Free disk space CD-ROM Drive.

2016 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (AICS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-411-0 UKUI: A Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable Framework for Linux Distribution Jie YU1, Lu SI1,*, Jun MA1, Lei LUO1, Xiao-dong LIU1, Ya-ting KUANG2, Huan PENG2, Rui LI1, Jin-zhu KONG2 and Qing-bo WU1 1College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Tianjin KYLIN Information Technology Co., Ltd, Tianjin, China *[email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Desktop environment, Ubuntu, User interface. Abstract. Ubuntu is an operating system with Linux kernel based on Debian and distributed as free and open-source software. It uses Unity as its default desktop environment, which results in more difficulties of usage for Microsoft Windows users. In this paper, we present a lightweight desktop environment named UKUI based on UbuntuKylin, the official Chinese version of Ubuntu, for Linux distribution. It is designed as a pluggable framework and provides better user experience during human-computer interaction. In order to evaluate the performance of UKUI, a set of testing bench suits were performed on a personal computer. Overall, the results showed that UKUI has better performance compared with Unity. Introduction Linux is a freely available operating system (OS) originated by Linux Torvalds and further developed by thousands of others. Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution for both desktop and server use. Some of the most popular mainstream Linux distributions are Red Hat [1], Ubuntu [2], Arch [3], openSUSY [4], Gentoo [5], etc. There are several desktop environments available for nowadays modern Linux distributions, such as XFCE [6], GNOME [7], KDE [8] and LXDE [9].

How to Fix a Frozen Windows PC
How to Fix a Frozen Windows PC Mashka/Shutterstock.com Windows PCs freeze for a variety of reasons. One instance might be a fluke, but repeated freezes suggest a problem you’ll want to fix. Here’s how to unfreeze and recover a stuck PC—and stop it from freezing again. How to Speed Up a Slow PC Volume 0% How to Unfreeze a Frozen Windows PC There are several ways you can recover your frozen PC, depending on what caused the problem. Sometimes, all you have to do is wait a few seconds—the PC might get hung up while doing some work and unfreeze itself a few seconds later. If a full-screen application, like a game, freezes and prevents you from leaving it, press Alt+F4. This closes the application if the game is just experiencing graphical problems, but it won’t work if the application has frozen completely. To see if the computer is still responding, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. From this screen, you can open the Task Manager (and close any running applications), or log out of or restart your PC. If this screen doesn’t appear, you might not be able to recover your PC without rebooting it. If you can open the Task Manager, you might be able to recover from the freeze. (You can also press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.) Select the “Processes” tab—if you don’t see it, click “More Details.” Locate any processes using a lot of CPU—you can click the “CPU” column header to sort by CPU usage and see the most demanding processes at the top of the list.

A shell script is a PC system intended to be controlled by the UNIX shell which is a charge line translator. The different tongues of shell scripts are thought to be scripting dialects. Regular operations performed by shell scripts incorporate document control, program execution, and printing content. A shell script can give an advantageous variety ofa framework order where unique environment settings, charge alternatives, or post-transforming apply naturally, yet in a manner that permits the new script to still go about as a completely typical UNIX summon. The real ideas like Programming in the Borne and C-shell, in which it would be clarified that how shell programming could be possible in Borne and C-shell.

What Is the Shell? • the Login Shell
03 0672324903 Ch03 2/3/03 1:41 PM Page 41 3 IN THIS CHAPTER • The Kernel and the Utilities What Is the Shell? • The Login Shell • Typing Commands to the Shell In this chapter you’ll learn what the shell is and what it does. • The Shell’s Responsibilities The Kernel and the Utilities The Unix system is itself logically divided into two pieces: the kernel and the utilities (see Figure 3.1). Unix system Utilities kernel disks Memory FIGURE 3.1 The Unix system. The kernel is the heart of the Unix system and resides in the computer’s memory from the time the computer is turned on and booted until the time it is shut down. The utilities, on the other hand, reside on the computer’s disk and are only brought into memory as requested. Virtually every command you know under the Unix system is classified as a utility; therefore, the program resides on the disk and is brought into memory only when you request that the command be executed. So, for example, when you execute the date command, the Unix system loads the program called date from the computer’s disk into memory and initiates its execution. The shell, too, is a utility program. It is loaded into memory for execution whenever you log in to the system. 03 0672324903 Ch03 2/3/03 1:41 PM Page 42 42 CHAPTER 3 What Is the Shell? In fact, it’s worth learning the precise sequence of events that occurs when the first shell on a terminal or window starts up.

Pure User Mode Deterministic Replay on Windows
Pure User Mode Deterministic Replay on Windows Atle Nærum Eriksen Thesis submitted for the degree of Master in Informatics: programming and networks 60 credits Department of Informatics Faculty of mathematics and natural sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Autumn 2017 Pure User Mode Deterministic Replay on Windows Atle Nærum Eriksen August 1, 2017 Abstract The ability to record and replay program executions has many interesting applications such as debugging in the backwards direction, discovering and fixing the source of non-deterministic bugs and data races and retracing the steps of a system intrusion. Unfortunately, the power of deterministic replay tools is underutilized by the general public as the tools are either too difficult to deploy or unable to fulfill the performance and log size requirements of the user. As it happens, the majority of the research has been aimed at implementing such tools for Linux, and other platforms, including Windows, have mostly been neglected. In this thesis we look at whether it is possible to implement a determin- istic replay tool for the Windows platform that is easily deployable (user mode only without operating system support { this entails no OS modifi- cations or drivers), can record all system calls and their side-effects (even if unknown), works on large programs (1 GB+ RAM), and has a high recording performance (≈2x slowdown). We found that the challenges deterministic replay tools are facing in user mode are exacerbated on Windows due to a lack of documentation and a more restrictive API. Despite this we came up with a design proposal that solves all the problems necessary to implement a deterministic replay tool that satisfies all our requirements for the Windows platform.

Errors and Error Checking in Windows
Errors and error checking in Windows Higham and Rushden U3A Let’s first of all look at probably the most serious but least common: Total Windows failure Earlier versions of Windows used to crash much more frequently than they do today, usually accompanied by the very unfriendly Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) shown on the left below, and/or one of the other error messages shown. Windows 10 has moved on from there. Apart from anything else the screen is a much friendlier blue and it has a nice emoticon as well! Joking aside, the blue screen in Windows 10 is normally followed by the PC restarting and quite regularly the machine will boot up normally as Windows has adjusted some settings in the background. It probably doesn’t do any harm to make a note of the error details at the bottom of the screen in case the restart fails to solve the problem, but any solutions you find online are likely to be complicated and technical, and may well contradict other suggested fixes. Be warned! Also be aware that the restart process may take a while. Other errors and warnings are often generated by User Account Control, which is Windows’ way of trying to keep you safe, so turn it off at your peril. When a background program tries to do something, Windows will often ask you if you want it to do that. This program was downloaded, so unless you are absolutely certain that you downloaded it deliberately, and have just clicked on it to start it or make changes, it is probably safer to say “no”.

This bulletin will be expanded at the end of the month, as part of the Monthly Vulnerability bulletin we plan on releasing. The reason for this bulletin lies at 2 newly discovered vulnerabilities: 1. <No CVE assigned yet> - Corrupt NTFS OS partition without user interaction. 2. <No CVE assigned yet> - Trigger a BSOD by trying to access a system path. 3. CVE-2020-1398 - Potential bypass of Bitlocker protected systems, including Lock Screen bypass. We suspect that threat actors and updated malware may attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities to further impact potential victims. Confidential | Cyberint Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2020 2 CRITICAL VULNERABILITIES BULLETIN | INDUSTRY SECURITY BULLETIN JANUARY 14, 2021 NTFS CORRUPTION VULNERABILITY Published by a known vulnerability researcher, jonasLyk, it is possible to cause disk partition corruption by executing a cd command as a low privilege user, to a unique path, which causes the Windows Operating System to alert the user to a corrupted partition and force a restart. Whilst technical details are scarce, and the exact reason for the issue being unknown at this time, affected Windows builds using the NTFS file system include those from 1803 all the way to 20H2. According to SANS, the $bitmap is an attribute reserved for files marked as deleted, while $i30 is marked as an NTFS index attribute.
