  • Latex on Windows
    LaTeX on Windows Installing MikTeX and using TeXworks, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on Windows. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXworks Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXworks, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Jump to PDF". Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Jump to Source". Other Front End Programs Among front ends, TeXworks has several advantages, principally, it is bundled with MikTeX and it works without any configuration. However, you may want to try other front end programs. The most common ones are listed below. • Texmaker. Installation notes: 1. After you have installed Texmaker, go to the QuickBuild section of the Configuration menu and choose pdflatex+pdfview. 2. Before you use spell-check in Texmaker, you may need to install a dictionary; see section 1.3 of the Texmaker user manual. • Winshell. Installation notes: 1. Install Winshell after installing MiKTeX. 2. When running the Winshell Setup program, choose the pdflatex-optimized toolbar. 3. Winshell uses an external pdf viewer to display output files.

  • Vulnerability Report Attacks Bypassing Confidentiality in Encrypted PDF
    Vulnerability Report Attacks bypassing confidentiality in encrypted PDF Jens M¨uller1, Fabian Ising2, Vladislav Mladenov1, Christian Mainka1, Sebastian Schinzel2, J¨orgSchwenk1 May 16, 2019 1Chair for Network and Data Security 2FH M¨unsterUniversity of Applied Sciences Abstract In this report, we analyze PDF encryption and show two novel techniques for breaking the confidentiality of encrypted documents. Firstly, we abuse the PDF feature of partially encrypted documents to wrap the encrypted part of the document within attacker-controlled content and therefore, exfiltrate the plaintext once the document is opened by a legitimate user. Secondly, we abuse a flaw in the PDF encryption specification allowing an attacker to arbitrarily manipulate encrypted content without knowing the cor- responding key/password. The only requirement is one single block of known plaintext, which we show is fulfilled by design. By using exfiltration channels our attacks allow the recovery of the entire plaintext or parts of it within an encrypted document. The attacks rely only on standard compliant PDF features. We evaluated our attacks on 27 widely used PDF viewers and found all of them vulnerable. 1 Contents 1 Background4 1.1 Portable Document Format (PDF) . .4 1.2 PDF Encryption . .6 1.3 PDF Interactive Features . .7 2 Attacker Model8 3 PDF Encryption: Security Analysis9 3.1 Partial Encryption . .9 3.2 CBC Malleability . 10 3.3 PDF Interactive Features . 12 4 How To Break PDF Encryption 14 4.1 Direct Exfiltration (Attack A) . 14 4.1.1 Requirements . 15 4.1.2 Direct Exfiltration through PDF Forms (A1) . 15 4.1.3 Direct Exfiltration via Hyperlinks (A2) .

  • Living Without Google on Android
    Alternative for Google Apps on Android - living without Google on Android Android without any Google App? What to use instead of Hangouts, Map, Gmail? Is that even possible? And why would anyone want to live without Google? I've been using a lot of different custom ROMs on my devices, so far the two best: plain Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot on the Nexus 4[^1], and MIUI 2.3.2 on the HTC Desire G7[^2]. All the others ( MUIU 5, MIUI 6 unofficial, AOKP, Kaos, Slim, etc ) were either ugly, unusable, too strange or exceptionally problematic on battery life. For a long time, the first step for me was to install the Google Apps, gapps packages for Plays Store, Maps, and so on, but lately they require so much rights on the phone that I started to have a bad taste about them. Then I started to look for alternatives. 1 of 5 So, what to replace with what? Play Store I've been using F-Droid[^3] as my primary app store for a while now, but since it's strictly Free Software[^4] store only, sometimes there's just no app present for your needs; aptoide[^5] comes very handy in that cases. Hangouts I never liked Hangouts since the move from Gtalk although for a little while it was exceptional for video - I guess it ended when the mass started to use it in replacement of Skype and its recent suckyness. For chat only, check out: ChatSecure[^6], Conversations[^7] or Xabber[^8]. All of them is good for Gtalk-like, oldschool client and though Facebook can be configured as XMPP as well, I'd recommend Xabber for that, the other two is a bit flaky with Facebook.

  • (MODE) Motion Design
    2019 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Co-Editors: Jillian Coorey, Andre Murnieks, Heather Shaw and Rebecca Tegtmeyer 1 (inter)play MODE stands for Motion Design Education. The MODE Summit began in 2013 as a joint project between three design professors, Andre Mūrnieks, Brian Stone and myself, Gretchen Caldwell Rinnert. Previous MODE Summits were held in South Bend, Indiana (2013), Dublin, Ireland (2015) and Columbus, Ohio (2017). Now in its fourth iteration, with an expanding committee and network, we are proud to share the 2019 conference proceedings. We would like to thank our many sponsors, as they have made this year’s summit possible. Our academic sponsors include Massey University and The College of Creative Arts (CoCA), The Ohio State University, Kent State University, Michigan State University, Brigham Young University, Lesley University, and Herron School of Art + Design. Our professional sponsors include Fox & Co. Design in Wellington, New Zealand, and The LHT Group in Columbus, Ohio. This year represents a change for MODE, as we are unveiling two new ways of participation. First, we are launching the MODE Society for educators. Our goal is to encourage motion design research by creating avenues for dissemination and collaboration. By advancing the theory and practice of Motion Design, we aim to create opportunities for new practices, curriculum, and work. 2 (MODE) Motion Design Education Summit 2019 Edited Conference Proceedings Second, for students, we have introduced MODE Fest, a motion simulate elements in an interplay of movement. Interfaces, design festival for students and emerging professionals, meant to interactive systems, narratives and messaging all incorporate celebrate the very best student work in motion design education.

Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 1 / 13 Outline 1 LaTex A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 2 / 13 LaTex What is LaTex? Some content taken from Wikipedia. TeX is a typesetting system: \allow anybody to produce high-quality books using minimal effort, and to provide a system that would give exactly the same results on all computers, at any point in time." Knuth had the idea to use mathematics to typeset mathematics! LaTex is a markup language for technical writing, with special emphasis on math-heavy writing, built on top of Tex: \TeX handles the layout side, while LaTeX handles the content side for document processing." What's a markup language and how does it differ from WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") word processors like Microsoft Word? Compare to html, and contrast interpreted versus compiled languages. Using LaTex: write-format-preview (compare to code-compile-execute). A. Donev (Courant Institute) Tools 2/7/2018 3 / 13 LaTex Why LaTex? Advantages of LaTex: (interactive) Abstract: Separate presentation from content: focus on the content and not visual appearance. Portable: LaTex files are simple text files so perfectly portable and easy to open/edit/share/diff. Flexible: Change appearance/format by changing one word, e.g., the document class. Extensible: macros allow one to add new functionality. Any advantages of WYSIWYG? (interactive) LyX is a combination of the two: Focus on content but also see it on your screen! (Lyx Demo, including change tracking).

Rewrite your abstract, taking into account what you have learned from the process of writing the paper.
