enabling Fiddler Decrypt HTTPS

By default fiddler's decrypt https doesn't work because makecert.exe is native code.

the fix is to download certificate maker (managed code plugin )

www dot fiddler2 dot com slash dl slash FiddlerCertMaker.exe

extract the .exe with 7-ZIP then copy the DLLs into Fiddler.exe folder, it will be auto detected by fiddler and use these instead of makecert.exe.

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the contributions. I've just modified SharpDevelop enough so it can edit & Compile Windows Forms C# . NET apps (didn't try anything else yet) Debugging not working yet, but you can compile /design GUI with WYSIWYG interface / open csproj files &c no problems. Well basic ones anyways. Haven't tried anything to advanced

Details pf changes with binary & VS2012 project d/l

As was said a while ago :)

Just something interesting I saw: Sounds like MinGW team is working on GCC

From the above link, where the guy included part of winnt.h, I do wonder if the definition "IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_ARM" suggests a possibility of ARM-based executables, but that's possibly a misunderstanding on my part. Not a big deal anyway, just a curiosity.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Thats just netham from these forums posting on their forums. Well, I say "just". The guys a genius. But it isnt the MinGW team themselves.

Still, its needed ASAP
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
I was referring to the last post by "NightStrike":

... or is that also what you were referring to? It sounded to me like it's an active work of progress from within from people involved.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
The MinGW-w64 team is working on GCC targeting ARM w/ NT PE's, yes.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
ARM NT making PE binaries I assume you mean... since MinGW can already build an ARM compiler.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] feygor:
Any chance of porting transmission to RT? I know there are some versions that have been built to run on ARM, not to mention source code is available. It would be nice to have a decent torrent client that supports magnets on RT.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
Transmission's source relies on the GNU tools, e.g. GCC. Once we get a viable set of those (note recent prior posts), a whole lot more stuff should start coming in. Lots of good FOSS stuff uses GNU tools instead of the Microsoft stuff.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Yea, that's what I meant.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] bfosterjr:
I was able to get binutils parsing WINNT ARM by rearranging some WINCE #ifdefs and adding the correct PE header values then doing a x-build for arm-wince-pe. Sadly, I got frustrated with the gcc build and shelved it a while back -- haven't looked at it since. I'd be really happy if the mingw team got this working.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Think you could post that somewhere?

Source code, I mean.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_ARM is for Windows CE (Windows Mobile/Windows Phone too).

RT needs IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_ARMNT, and it is THUMB2 only.

It should not be difficult to make a GCC cross compiler for RT if GCC already supports THUMB2 code generation. PE format is already supported, you just need to combine them. The only problem would be with the new relocation types if GCC does not support them yet.

5 years ago it took me 2 weeks to make my own port of GCC 3.3.3 to WinCE (it was not based on cegcc code, as I've found it much later). Unfortunately I'm busy with other projects and can't spend 2 weeks on GCC now.

After some googling you can find that Wine project already supports the IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_ARMNT files, so you may ask them to share the compiler they use. It may be a linux cross-compiler, that you can recompile with CygWin and run from a desktop Windows PC.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
For Wine it's just adding loader support to their existing system, I don't think this implies they have any different compilers than the rest of us do.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Just remembered:

Another problem you'll get with GCC is table-based exception handling instead of SEH on x86. As GCC natively supports x64 that uses table-based exceptions too - the code is already present and it should not take much time to make it compatible with ARM.

Or you can live without exceptions for now, or make a workaround similar to that I've used on WinCE - use a fixed table treating your whole EXE as one function with one handler.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
Good point ... of course, even having a GCC compile a "Hello world" console app would be nice at this point. :)

SVN

Any hope for a Tortoise port, or any other SVN client?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] robcube:
GnuCash?

is there a possibility that GnuCash may be ported? After all, the source is in c and scheme...

http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src?order=name
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
Maybe, only after a successful port of GCC and GNU tools.

Tip for anyone: If the source tree contains names like "Makefile" or "Makefile.am", it's going to be GNU tools dependent, and until a GCC set is available, porting is most likely not yet possible. But a project could contain a Visual Studio solution as an alternative (this one does not appear to) which means we'd have a chance with the current tool set.

This is usually due to dependence on "libc" type calls or GCC-specific extensions that will not be compatible with Microsoft's compiler, requiring significant rework of the code (if it's even possible) which would further made the code unmaintainable. Better we just hope that the MinGW team comes out with a proper GCC sooner than later.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Also, we don't actually have a Scheme compiler or interpreter on RT yet anyhow... It's vaguely possible that Guile will compile for RT with the current tools, but I doubt it.

FWIW, it's possible to build a VS project from a makefile... it mostly matters on how complex the project is. If it's just "compile all these .c/cpp files with -DWin32, link the resulting objects against the following libs '...' and you're done", that can be translated easily enough. If it compiles for Windows at all, you can be sure it's not using any POSIX-exclusive function calls (unless it uses Cygwin or similar). GCC-specific functionality would be a hassle to translate, but there's only a few of those that MSVC doesn't understand these days.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
This is mostly true, but there still can be differences or GCC extensions in play. Also depends how "clever" the Makefile is will factor in how difficult it would be to translate. Dependencies, environment variables, etc. can make this a difficult task. A lot of larger projects are not simply just "build all source files in src" or whatever. My other concern is while you could hack something to run for one version, it could be difficult to upgrade it to the next, so it essentially becomes unmaintainable. Plus it's a lot of effort when really the "right answer" is we get a working GCC / GNU toolset.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Darn! This almost works: http://simple-adblock.com/. It gives an error saying that it can't register a dll during installation. However, it still installs fine, but doesn't function... Ideas?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
That's not compatible with IE10, if you check the page on it. It's also a C++ dll, which is platform-specific.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Hmmm, ok. It says on the website it is, but it also says they're working on an ie10 version. Thanks tho! I'll have to try it once it's updated.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
I actually went through and looked for an adblock for IE10 a couple weeks ago and tried this one, it doesn't work on IE10 for PC either. I couldn't find any opensource tools or anything, the only thing I could find were the tracking protection lists.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
While not as good as a proper AdBlock, the next best thing is using "Tracking Protection": http://www.edandersen.com/2012/10/28/adblock-alternative-on-windows-rts-ie10/

I use this on the Surface with good results... not perfect, but it helps a lot.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Yeah, tracking protection breaks a lot of websites tho, causing me to constantly have to toggle it and reload :p. I've also used a stylesheet for this purpose (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2061518). I'd still love a normal adblock tho! Hopefully soon...:fingers-crossed:
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
I've found that using EasyList or similar, plus my own personal block list (don't use the "automatically block" mode in Trackign Protection unless you want a bit of hassle) works as well as AdBlock Plus or similar when it comes to site compatibility, and very nearly as well when it comes to ad blocking. As a bonus, it also lets me do things like filter out any and all third-party Facebook content (no, you may not track me across the web via your stupid "Like this!" buttons!) without breaking the site itself.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Google have just thrown a spanner in the works for chromium on RT it seems. They announced today that they are forking webkit into a new project called blink. Chrome is no longer going to use webkit and instead will use blink.

In the grand scheme of things it is not a massive issue but it certainly doesn't make the job any easier.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, saw that. I'm working on an older Chrome version at present, from well before the fork; I should update it at some point. I doubt the fork will matter that much, though; Blink will remain close enough to WibKit (it is, after all, a fork and not a completely new engine) that it shouldn't pose a serious problem. It may make it harder to just take an existing build of webkit, even a somewhat crippled one (such as we already have) and using that instead; that would make a Chrome akin to the version for iOS, where it's Google's app but somebody else's version of WebKit, but it may work.

Classic Start Menu

Hi all, installed netham45's Classic Start Menu and after restarting explorer everything is functional and I can manipulate all settings except the 'Start Menu Style' tab where you choose which skin/appearance you want. I've tried both the WinXP and Win7 settings, it asks me if I want to proceed to change the skin, but it doesn't do anything. Was there a specific location where I was supposed to unpack the .zip or have I missed something in the last 650 posts? Thanks in advance!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:

I have been pondering this thought. If you where to port Diablo 2 LOD to ARM, would the Surface RT be able to run it?

What do you guys think?

Best regards.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
Well, first of all, they'd have to release the source code. (A quick search makes it seem they haven't.) Next, given its age, it most likely will employ DirectX components that are not ported to the Surface. But could it, if someone was given the source code and spent a good amount of time at it? Yeah, probably, since it was looking for a low-end Pentium. But it's really academic without source and someone dedicated to the effort.

Music making video editing apps?

Anyone using any music making or video editing apps? I don't understand what can and can't be ported and reasons why, I just want to know where and if there are apps for MIDI or video. Audacity is a good one that I make good use of.

Thanks
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Audacity might actually be doable.

http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Windows#Visual_Studio_Express_and_Microsoft_SDK

It currently uses visual studio 2008 but *can* be built in 2010 with some mods but is not recommended. It might well be possible to push the boat out even further and use visual studio 2012.

On the other hand this is one big list of dependencies: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/AudacityLibraries

Only 2 of those have been ported to RT to my knowledge. Guessing that many of those would rely on GCC too.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Ahem... I don't usually berate people for not reading an entire thread when it's this long, although I will remind you that the very first rule of the forum is SEARCH BEFORE POSTING.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Very nice! However, WinDjVu is GPL licensed; to comply with this license (which you need to do since you're redistributing the app) please include the source code you used. Either a downloadable archive of the complete modified source, or a diff from a specific snaopshot of their version control, will be fine. If you didn't need to make many changes (for example, just changed the project files), the diff will be a much smaller download and can probably be patched into the app if somebody wants to update it later.

Thanks!

Someone in the x86 compatible programs thread mentioned running the powder toy within the x86 emulator and it understandably being slow.

I just went to have a look on its wiki and it seems that the powder toy does compile in VS2010 and 2012 without issue.

http://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_tpt++_with_Visual_studio.html

However it has depencies which might cause problems. The big ones seem to be SDL and Lua, however someone who is a bit more clued up than I might want to take a look and see what other issues there are. It seems on the first page that we have SDL, not sure if the powder toy could be coerced into compiling without Lua support, alternately older versions of the powder toy did not have lua support but I don't think they compiled in VS2012 either.

A native port would certainly beat the 2fps achieved through emulation.
