HP Password Encryption Utility

Hi There,
I have HP Z230 Workstation. I want to use HP Password Encryption Utility to create a BIOS password which will be saved in an encrypted file. I have downloaded the SoftPaq from HP website (sp69088) but after installation of this SoftPaq I am not able to get the HPQPswd.exe. I have also tried to download different version of HP System Software Manager from HP ftp site but the result was not successful, everytime it didn't create the HPQPswd.exe
I am able to install BIOS Configuration Utilty. My intention is to set a BIOS Password from command promt. Am I missing something. If anyone has any idea, please share with me.
Thanks in advance!

RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility

Hi all,
In the OIA/SRM installation guide, there is a reference to a tool, to find out the password of rbacxservice.
"Oracle Identity Analytics utilizes an encrypted password when communicating with the database.
To change the default database password, use the RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility"
Could you please help me finding out this tool.
Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Manipradeep Sunku.

The mentioned tool only encrypts the password so that you don't have to store a plain text password in the config file. It does not decrypt it. The default rbacxservice password is rbacxservice.
The tool does not come with the OIA/SRM distribution so if you need it, you will need to contact support.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!

This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root

How do I Remove password-encryption in a PDF file

Hello
Can anyone help me remove the password encryption on a PDF file? I am trying to submit a PDF file to a on demand printer & they di accept the file if it is password-encrypted.
Thanks

I have no idea why the printer thinks there is a password? When I opened the security link in Acrobat nothing is selected? So I'm stuck. I also opened the PMD thinking there was some password attached there & I found nothing?

Trouble With Password Encryption in Acrobat 8.1 Professional

Can someone suggest a solution or are you experiencing the same problem? Each time I g
o to password encrypt, I get an erro message saying that 8.1 encountered an error and is closing.
This happens several seconds after clicking on the passord radio button.

Not that silly; but you ideally shouldn't be trying. Although there are some rudimentary (and sometimes unpredictable) editing tools in Acrobat, (I presume you are trying with the TouchUp Object tool as well as the TouchUp Text ?) much better to get it right in the source application and think of the pdf as what it basically is...a print.
For whatever reason, v5 could edit text positioning rather more easily than the later versions.

Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??

Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??
My Zip Class works fine with every unencrypted file, but when I try to open an encrypted one, i get an error Message ("Encrypted ZIP entry not supported")
Is ist impossible to unzip encrypted ZIPs???

I've searched around a little bit and THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
There is a (beta)version of winzip8 that uses a cli (command line interface)
So, all you have to do is to implement a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your java program to call winzip8 and pass the zipfile path and the password.
Here's the URL: http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.htm

How to remove password-encryption in a signed PDF file?

I can open a password-encryption and digitally signed PDF file using Acrobat X Standard but cannot remove the password protection.
Can anyone help me remove the password encryption? The Acrobat only allows to set passsord encryption before adding digital signature to a PDF file. Can I sign a PDF file and then encrypt it with password? Thanks.

Removing the security, if it is possible, would destroy the signature.
Encrypting a signed PDF would destroy the signature.
This is because signatures validate the file exactly as it is, and changes to the file break the signature by design. Setting security is a change to the PDF (a big change).

Using mySQL Password encryption function

hi there,
I am using mySQL's password encryption function to store passwords
safely in a tabe. The problem is when I retreive the username and password, because the password in encrypted, it won't match the password entered in a JSP page. Is there any way I can decrypt it to its original form so I can do a equal match comparision.
thanks
mani

For Eg. you can compare the following way...
Here,
userdb - table name
pwd - Column in table (password encrypted field)
'userpassword' - user entered value....
theSql = "SELECT PASSWORD('userpassword'), pwd FROM userdb
rs = statement.executeQuery(theSql);
if (rs.next())
String strPswdEnter=rs.getString(1);
String strPswdData=rs.getString(2);
if (strPswdEnter.equalsIgnoreCase(strPswdData))
bPasswordCorrect=true;

Solaris 10 SHA256 password encryption

I need to put together a statement of how secure this is.
Can anyone answer the following?
Ref SHA256 password encryption on Solaris 10
*1/*
Is the password Salt: prepended, appended or intermingled in some other way with the password prior to hashing?
*2/*
The password Salt must be different for each user. How is this achieved?
E.G. Salt includes identifying data such as User id, time, sudo random constant.?
*3/*
Is the salt protected to the same extent as the hash values are protected?
*4/*
Does the salt have a minimum length of 64 bits, 128 or higher is preferred?

Ref SHA256 password encryption on Solaris 10SHA256 is independent of the computer and it's operating system so 'Solaris 10' is irrelevant.
>
*1/*

>
*2/*
The password Salt must be different for each user. How is this achieved?
E.G. Salt includes identifying data such as User id, time, sudo random constant.?For each user one has a random set of seed bytes which are stored in the user's data record. Any fairly random set will do and there is no requirement for them to be secret in the same way that an encryption key is.
>
*3/*
Is the salt protected to the same extent as the hash values are protected?The hash value and seed are not so much secret as confidential. For an attacker to use a dictionary attack he has to build a dictionary for each seed. If the seeds are random then he will might build a dictionary to attack one particular user's password but when he moves on to the next he will need to rebuild the dictionary.
>
*4/*
Does the salt have a minimum length of 64 bits, 128 or higher is preferred?I use 64 bits but since I'm not a security consultant so you can't take this as a recommendation. One could say "the more bits the better" but the more you have the bigger the field needed in the users data record.
If you really want a definitive statement on all of this then hire a security consultant. It will cost you but it might give your employers more confidence in any statement he makes than it should in the statements I have made.

Password encrypting a PDF . (security lost)

Hello
i am using the following piece of code to password encrypt a PDF
However . when i copy this PDF to another machine. the PDF is not secured
Please help.. this is very important to me.
char *errorBuf;
    DURING
    CString strPassword = "123456789";
    PDDocSetNewCryptHandler (pdDoc,ASAtomFromString("Standard"));
    StdSecurityData securityData = (StdSecurityData)PDDocNewSecurityData(pdDoc);
    securityData->size = sizeof(StdSecurityDataRec);
    securityData->hasUserPW = false;
    securityData->newOwnerPW = false;
    securityData->hasOwnerPW = true;
    securityData->newOwnerPW = true;
    strcpy_s(securityData->ownerPW, strPassword );
    strcpy_s(securityData->userPW, strPassword );
    securityData->perms = pdPermPrint ;
    securityData->keyLength = 16;
    PDDocSetNewSecurityData (pdDoc, (void*)securityData);
    PDDocSetFlags(pdDoc, PDDocRequiresFullSave);
    HANDLER
        ASGetErrorString (ASGetExceptionErrorCode(), errorBuf, 255);
        AVAlertNote (errorBuf);
    END_HANDLER

Did you remember to save the PDF after running this? This only sets it up for being secured - you still need to save it.

JavaScript support to store passwords to Firefox password manager utility for latest Firefox versions

I would like to store the password for a site as password manager does with "Remember Password" when we do a login. I'm planning to do it for automation purpose with below steps.
1. Load add-on when launching Firefox. This add-on will have a method to access Firefox Password Manager to store password.
2. Execute JavaScript that can call a method under add-on to store the password.
Note: Second script will hold all information required to store password under password manager utility.
Can anyone help me on getting the step one to be completed ?

For help with add-on development, refer to the following forum:

10.4 password encryption

10.3 used some wierd NTLM/SHA1 hash. Which is crackable without much effort. Does anybody know what password encryption 10.4 uses?

Well, "waste of time" may have been a bit harsh, but one weakness of "Filevault" (compared to using a separate encrypted disk image) is that it uses the same password for logging in as unlocking the encrypted disk image. There are all sorts of references on the web for cracking login passwords in Panther, and a few for Tiger. Ultimately it would probably depend on the strength of the password itself, but when the password hash for the login password is readily available for a thief to feed in to a password cracking programme, figuring out the login password would probably be easier than trying to figure out an encrypted dmg password (unless someone can explain how and where in the dmg file the password info is stored)...
