I'm writing a web service (mostly in .NET, but there's some unmanaged code, too). I'm trying to avoid adding any vulnerabilities (obviously...), but it's alwyas possible (esp. since there's some unmanaged code, both by own & libraries, to which data from files/network is passed). UAC + DEP helps, but you never know. So I was wondering if...
How can I find the address of a WndProc (of a window of another process). Even if I inject a DLL and try to find it with either GetClassInfoEx() or GetWindowLong() or GetWindowLongPtr() I always get values like 0xffff08ed, which is definitely not an executable address. It is according to MSDN: "... the address of the window procedure, or...

Recently, I have been reading job listings. I have found that there are many who are looking for "strong candidates with server side development". I am primarily a C++ developer for the Window platform. What do the listings mean? Software using the client-server architecture? And if so, are there common complete frameworks for develop...

Hi, I have a piece of closed-source third party windows software which consists of only one window and is minimized almost all the time. I'd like to be able to change the selected item of a combobox in that window via a system-wide hotkey. If possible, I'd like to keep the third party app minimized in the process. I guess this should b...
I've starting using socketpairs on linux and windows in order to capture the output of subprocesses on both platforms. I do this by copying STD* onto one of the sockets in the socketpair (I'm using Win32::SocketPair in perl for socketpair's on windows). The main reason I am doing this is so that read do NOT block on the output file han...
Hi, my question is super simple, but I'm transitioning from c# to c++, and I was wondering what command holds the console window open in C++? I know in C#, the most basic way is: Console.ReadLine(); Or if you want to let the user press any key, its: Console.ReadKey(true); How do you do this in c++? The only reason I ask this simpl...
To avoid conflicts with winsock2.h, I want to wrap my include of windows.h with WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN (I undef it after windows.h so as not to interfere with applications that include my headers). Doing this causes timeval to be undefined when winsock2.h isn't included. Including time.h doesn't define timeval either. How can I get timeval...
