I have been quite busy in the last few week migrating some arabeyes libraries to windows. Starting with ibitl, a library that allows applications to convert between Hijri and Gregorian dates and to compute Muslim prayer times and Qibla direction based on multiple methods of calculation , this library has a high level of accuracy..

The Sabily-wininstaller for test

2009-07-23T09:02:38+01:00

I have just recompiled the wubi installer to work with Sabily (Ubuntu ME). This version works with the Tayba version (9.04) just for test Please test it and report about your experience. It is recommended to let it download the ISO for you. The files in the .disk folder on the LiveCd must be configured because the installer retrieve information from it !!

The header provides a definition for struct passwd, which includes information about the user , like the username and the home directory... however this header is intended specially for the POSIX systems because the information which include the passwd structure have not their mean in the other systems like the user-shell and the group...

This week i have subscribed to The Sabily project , a Linux distribution designed by and for Muslims. Like our distribution (EsiTux) it is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution , so i found that i can work on both projects at the same time.

(Pro Decrypting VBScript Viruses) A new book by Martani

2008-04-14T06:30:20+01:00

In this book, you will learn how to decrypt a VBScript and find the original source code; it will also teach you a number of techniques used by hackers to protect their source code. That may be so effective for use with your own code or your secret algorithms, which is very useful.This book will not talk about the virus behavior or its VBScript specified functions right now (another book will discuss the VBScript viruses behavior wait for it?, you check for other related books), it is intended to discuss the methods hackers use to obfuscate their source code so others can't understand it. And AVs cannot just detect the threats so early.The author gave also some examples about some easy-to-understand viruses and other algorithms He found on the web, so they can make a good base you can start from, He also mention some ways of decrypting Encoded scripts by the WSD (Windows Script Decoder), but He don't provide any tools or real codes (you know Microsoft and the Copyrights!!!!).Also, this book supposes that you have a little knowledge about VBScript and scripting in general. It will not teach you VBScript, if you wish learn VBScript those books are so good to start: wrox vbscript programmer's reference or Sams VBScript WMI and ADSI Unleashed.Another more thing:He say that there is no Technical Reviewer or any help from others,and he wrote this book alone...
