A Self-Contained JRE

Hi,
I am developing an incident response kit in Java. The kit creates new processes for each forensic test using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). This kit will be part of a larger project to perform remote forensic analysis of vulnerable machines on a network.
However, I want to have the option of being able to use the response kit stand-alone. I want to be able to walk up to a machine that has potentially been compromised and run the response kit. The host may not have a JRE installed, and installing the JRE on-the-spot is not an option because this invalidates the forensic-soundness of the incident response.
Is there a way to compile a java program so that it has a self-contained JRE (sort of like a web browser does) so that the software can run on hosts without a JRE?
Thanks,
Geoff Wilson

I assume that you will be creating a cd to containt the kit. An alternative solution is to put a jvm on the cd, and run from there. It's probably be less hassle and may run better.

  • Problem with JavaFX 8 Self-contained Application !

    Hello everybody,
    I generate a JavaFX 8 Self-Contained Application for Windows (.msi).
    Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler)
    JDK 8 B116 (EA - i don't use the lasts beta versions (B117 and B118) because there is a bug during installation for Windows XP)
    Scene builder 2.0 (EA)
    When i install this application (exec .msi) on my PC (Windows XP SP3 - JDK 7 and 8 installed), no problem.
    So i install this application on 2 others PC (PC without JDK 8 installed).
    The first PC on Windows XP SP3 (JDK 5 and 6 installed) : display problem - the font is very big as if I had made a zoom on the contents of the window !
    The second PC on Windows 7 PRO (JDK 7 installed) - when in launch the application by the system menu, i have two strange problems
    1/ when i move my mouse on the content of the window, this content becomes black !
    2/ it's necessary to resize the window (full screen) and to come back to the original size to obtain a correct display !
    I don't know where is the problem(s) ?
    is it linked to JDK 8 (BETA version) embedded ?
    If you have a idea do not hesitate !
    Thanks you in advance

    I only use external FW HDDs for my video work; my Capture Scratch files are on external drives and I export finished movies to external drives. My project files are on my system drive, this is the best way to work, I have never had any problems I could associate with this configuration
    I am assuming you've gone thru your project, your timeline and everything is kosher. Is everything fully rendered? Have you mixed down your audio? Have you tried exporting just the last 30 seconds of one of the projects to see if you can replicate the problem?

  • FCP 6 won't export QT as "self-contained"

    I'm trying to export some files as QT's, but even though the "make movie self-contained" box IS checked, they still won't play without opening FCP. I did change playback preferences from FCP to QT, which works on the source computer... but when I move the files to another computer, they still won't play. Any thoughts?

    I think we are getting confused with what you want to do here... if all you want to do is open the file up inside QuickTime simply right click or control click - Open With > QuickTime Pro.
    This will not open in Final Cut Pro. Also, you never told use what codec you were working in.
    Know this - Self Contained has nothing to do with which application opens the movie file. This function determines how the file will be created. By default, a movie file created by Final Cut Pro will try and open with Final Cut Pro. You can change this with the "Get Info" switch, then select QuickTime Pro as the default player.
    Hope this helps,

  • Exporting Final Cut timeline in highest quality Quicktime (self-contained)

    Hi, I am wondering if you can help me. I just finished editing a film in HDV, 24P in Final Cut Studio 2 and need to export it as a stand alone quicktime file to take it to the color correction people and then for downressing in order to write to DigiBeta tapes.
    My question is, do I simply export to Quicktime movie self-contained file using default (current) setting? I also see there are options such as Applre ProRes422 HQ, uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. From what I've heard uncompressed 8 and 10 bit and also apple ProRes422 are higher qualities? Am I wrong?
    But going to Uncompressed 8bit or even to Apple ProRes won't make a difference since I only have HDV quality and that's the highest quality I can get anyway?
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    Exporting a self contained QT Movie, and not recompressing will get you an HDV file that is full quality. But unless the facility you are going to has FCP on the machine they load this, they won't be able to see it. Same with ProRes...which would be the better choice for color correcting (10-bit, I-Frame format instead of GOP). ProRes and HDV (and DVCPRO HD) are codecs that only come with FCP, and any computer, even a mac, that doesn't have FCP installed cannot even view those file formats.

  • Final Cut Express wont make make a self contained movie

    Until recently I have always been able to export my movies from final cut express HD without any problems. They save as final cut express movie files. Now when I come to export a movie, I click on " make self contained movie" and what I get is a quicktime movie that is split into 3 parts, one named whatever I had told it to save as and the other 2 with the same name but -av1 or -av2 after it. If either of these is deleted the original wont play but they wont open on their own. There is sufficient hard drive space and they are all saved in the same folder. There appears to be a 2GB maximum file size as the first movie is 2 GB the second is 2 GB and the third is whatever is left over. Anything smaller than 4 GB just saves as a 2GB plus whatever is lreft over! They will play if original video clips are deleted so they are independent but wont play if one of the 3 is missing. Please help this is driving me scatty
    Powermac G4/466 (upgraded to dual 1.4GHz), Macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Is the drive you aresaving to formatted to Mac OS Extended?
    Sounds like it could be Mac Standard.
    Also check in Prefernces that the file size export limit is not set to 2 gig.

  • Self-contained movie asking for source files

    I have exported a final cut pro movie as a self-contained file, and after I deleted the source files, as my harddrive was jammed full, I am unable to burn the project onto a dvd. The file won't open in quicktime or final cut pro. It keeps asking for a source file to continue - HELP! It was a two hour movie that I am to be burning for XMas, and it has slipped out of my computer apparently. It was opening on its own without my harddrive connected before I deleted the source files, so I KNOW it was self-contained which is the only reason I deleted the files in the first place! Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    This is not a new problem. I have encountered it through many versions of QuickTime.
    Typically, it happens after I assemble a compilation of clips from various sources, including imported Windows Media files. I diligently check the "Save as a self-contained movie" option, which always indicates a file size larger than the "Save as reference movie" option -- for example, 1.7 MB vs. only 9.2 KB for a short clip. And yet, if I have discarded the original clip, QuickTime is unable to play some of the supposedly self-contained movies because it can't find the deleted source files. It's kind of maddening, especially when there's no way to recover the original clips.
    I haven't tracked this, but I suspect it might happen when a clip in one format is pasted into a movie without first converting it to QuickTime. Has anyone else noticed this possibility and tested it?

  • How to get self-contained .mov files without FCE opening up?

    Hi all experts,
    I have fully rendered my first file, which is a simple text animation.
    I did Export > QuickTime Movie. I am sure I tick the MAKE MOVIE SELF CONTAINED box.
    When I quit FCE, I went to search for that .mov file. When I click at the file, FCE project file open up as well !!
    If I copy this file for my friends, when they click at it, will they be able to see it if they do not have FCE ?
    Thanks

    Thanks David.
    I really didn't know that there is such a thing. But hey, thanks for teaching me !!

  • Why is a self contained movie faster to compress?

    Hi, I noticed something today, I sent from FC to compresor a sequence 4 minutes long and if I select the best compression for DVD it takes 4 hours to compress the video (DVCPRO HD720p60 to SD) but if I make a self contained movie first and then I compress that file it only takes 20 something minutes, do you have an idea why is that? Am I losing quality in the self contained movie?
    Thanks

    Hi:
    If your sequence is just plain video edit, I mean, no effects, color correction, graphic elements (text, etc), then you'll get no quality difference encoding from your timeline or from the self contained. Both sources are same quality.
    But if you have effects and graphcis in your sequence that you need to render, then you'll get the best quality encoding directly from the timeline, because FCP will use the raw info from each frame as source for the encoding, NOT the rendered ones.
    The difference in quality depends on how heavy your effects/graphics are.
    Hope that helps !

  • Cannot export a self contained Qucktime movie

    As of yesterday I have lost the ability to export a self contained Quicktime move from FCE. The sequence is complete and rendered and I have exported as recently as last month but now it simply makes what's known as a reference movie with the suffix .mov
    The Export drop down menu still displays all the Quicktime options.
    Additionally the Quicktime icon in my dock when clicked displays a question mark. I tried downloading Quicktime but still no go.
    Please help Tom

    Right but what I am trying to convey is that I need to generate the brushed chrome framed, high quality, up-loadable, stand alone video that I used to get with ease and I cannot get that with my FCE. What are you calling it, what is the proper term because I always called them Quicktime. I made one less than 2 months a go.
    Quicktime is present in my System Prefs but is not in the dock. When it was a question mark appeared over it. I cannot find it, launch it, etc.

  • Exports a self contained, then renders.  Why?

    I exported a self contained Quicktime movie (same settings as footage--HDV--no recompressed frames). My exported file is named exactly as I named it, but with four additional mysterious digits at the end. Here's what I don't get: FCP says it's still writing video. Why? Is it writing a render file? It's already exported a self-contained movie that appears to be complete (I watched the end). What's the point of this render file? (The exported movie contains 4 fades, and 2 text titles). Not sure whether to stop the "writing video" so I can do some other work, or leave it in case it's needed by my self-contained file.

  • Problem Saving Self-Contained Presentations

    When I save a self-contained presentation, Keynote saves every pict, movie, sound, theme, etc. BUT I can not find the actual presentation (i.e., the file that ends with .key). Am I missing something?

    The folder IS the file. If you're saving to your HD, it will be named filename.key and when you double click on it, Keynote will open. If you're saving to an external PC formatted drive or a flash drive, those don't understand the way OSX stores information and will show a folder with files inside of it.
    For any .key file you've saved, your can right click or control click on the file and choose "Show Package Contents" and you'll be able to navigate inside the file to see all the parts that make up the presentation. The most important part that brings it all together is the index.xml.gz file. That tells Keynote how to display your presentation using the media included in that "folder".
    Now, if you want to email this to another computer, you'll need to right click or control click on the file and choose "Create Archive of..." and then send the resulting .zip file.

  • Movies edited in QT Pro and saved as self-contained revert in iTunes

    Hi all. I'm having a consistent bad experience editing QT movies in the QT Pro player. This is the typical workflow (on Mac OS X 10.5.7, lates QT update):
    1. Screencast captured in iShowU HD saved as .mov with H264 codec
    2. Edited .mov in QT Player (Pro) to trim unwanted footage and tidy dropped frames etc. This sometimes is just deleting portions of the footage, sometimes copying a selection and pasting in a new document, sometimes doing this to combine multiple selections in a new document.
    3. Save as self-contained QT .mov (every time without fail - I don't use reference movies)
    These new movies look fine in QT Player, and import nicely into Keynote, and my Keynote presentations export to Quicktime movies fine.
    However, when I try to export in ANY format and view in other software (including iTunes and the iPhone), either using QT presets (iphone, AVI, etc) or custom settings, or Handbrake (ffmpeg), or zamzar.com, the result is always either the full unedited footage, or something that approaches the original, but with corruption at the edit points.
    The problems are occuring on both my MBP and my Mini, which have very slightly different software installed (eg Perian on the MBP but not the Mini)
    What's going wrong and what can I do to put it right?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Mac

    I am not talking about mpeg 1 or 2. I take a 100 MB dv, mpeg4 or h.262 clip, set an in and out point, hit trim to selection and hit apple S. it QUICKLY saves the file without rewriting the data fork and keeps it at 100 MB on my disc, even though the data size is now 50 MB in QT. so, the data is not lost, it is still there on my HD, just with new tags to tell quicktime what part to use and what part to ignore . I would prefer to just keep the one 100 MB file that i could retrieve the original if i want instead of keeping that 100 MB file and choosing save as and getting a new 50 MB file, now having to store 150 MB to have the original and edited one.

  • Store file as Self-Contained QT or not?

    I have many videos that have been edited with a lower 3rd added. I am not sure if the final delivery of this will be via DVD or the web. This decision may not come for many months. I need to save these files in a way that will make it as easy as possible to later come back and bring them into compressor to make a .m2v or a web video file.
    1. Is it a good idea to save it as a self-contained file at this time?
    2. Is FCP or Compressor the better program for compressing video for the web?
    Thanks!

    Self-contained is a good choice only if you cannot keep your source materials. A self contained QT is flattened and cannot be edited if your client wants changes (inevitable).
    If you must make a self-contained QT, make sure it is of the highest quality. I would recommend 8-Bit Uncompressed so that your graphics render crisp (especially if your sequence is DV-NTSC). Or you might try the new ProRes 422 compressor.
    Compressor is the better choice (especially with Studio 2) when making your web or .m2v files. Making self-contained QT files can be done easily in FCP.
