Spotting Aggressive Clandestine BotNets

"Yesterday was making a typical “evening run” in cyberspace and noticed a strange pattern, zoomed in, and found a aggressive clandestine “indexing” botnet operating out of a dedicated hosting provider’s datacenter. The feature image in this post shows a screen capture of this visual. I’m finding spotting clandestine botnets easier than before I designed and coded this cyberspace SA visualization tool."

Spotting lowercase SQL code

We want to check where our programmers are using lowercase SQL reserved words, ie "select" instead of "SELECT". Obviously, we should not raise a warning for code which is commented out with "//". Suppose I have this input: select * from mytable SELECT * from mytable // select * from mytable... (2 Replies)

XSetZoomHints() 														   XSetZoomHints()

Name
  XSetZoomHints - set the size hints property of a zoomed window.

Synopsis
  XSetZoomHints(display, w, zhints)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	XSizeHints *zhints;

Arguments
  display  Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  w	   Specifies the ID of the window for which zoom hints are to be set.

  zhints   Specifies a pointer to the zoom hints.

Description
  XSetZoomHints() is no longer used as of Release 3.

  XSetZoomHints()  sets  the XA_WM_ZOOM_HINTS property for an application's top-level window in its zoomed state.  Many window managers think
  of windows in three states: iconified, normal, or zoomed, corresponding to small, medium, and large.	Applications use  XSetZoomHints()  to
  inform the window manager of the size or position desirable for the zoomed window.

  In addition, an application wanting to move or resize its zoomed window should call XSetZoomHints() specifying its new desired location and
  size, in addition to making direct X calls to move or resize.  This is because some  window  managers  may  redirect	window	configuration
  requests, but ignore the resulting events and pay attention to property changes instead.

  To  set  size  hints,  an application must assign values to the appropriate elements in the hints structure, and set the flags field of the
  structure to indicate which members have assigned values and the source of the assignment.  These flags are listed in the  Structures  sec-
  tion below.

  For more information on using hints, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.

Structures
     typedef struct {
	 long flags;	    /* marks defined fields in structure */
	 int x, y;
	 int width, height;
	 int min_width, min_height;
	 int max_width, max_height;
	 int width_inc, height_inc;
	 struct {
	       int x;	 /* numerator */
	       int y;	 /* denominator */
	 } min_aspect, max_aspect;
	 int base_width, base_height;
	 int win_gravity;
     } XSizeHints;

     /* flags argument in size hints */
     #define USPosition  (1L << 0)    /* user specified x, y */
     #define USSize	 (1L << 1)    /* user specified width, height */

     #define PPosition	 (1L << 2)    /* program specified position */
     #define PSize	 (1L << 3)    /* program specified size */
     #define PMinSize	 (1L << 4)    /* program specified minimum size */
     #define PMaxSize	 (1L << 5)    /* program specified maximum size */
     #define PResizeInc  (1L << 6)    /* program specified resize increments */
     #define PAspect	 (1L << 7)    /* program specified min/max aspect ratios */
     #define PAllHints (PPosition PSize PMinSize PMaxSize PResizeInc PAspect)
     #define PBaseSize	 (1L << 8)
     #define WinGravity  (1L << a)
