SDM Prelogin File Check for MAC

Has anyone had any success using the File Check to search for a file on a MAC PC? I have been successful scanning anything on the PC side. I am trying to scan a file location on a MAC which is in the following path/location.
"/Applications/Sophos\ Anti-Virus.app"
The prelogon policy is either success or Login Denied. Of course when testing the login is denied.
Is there anyone who have dealt with this before or are there any debug commands which I can use to troubleshoot?
"debug dap trace" doesn't seem to yield what I am trying to see.

Sorry I meant include a "/" etc.!

Check for mac address (physical address) of ethernet card

Hi!
We want to deliver LabVIEW code which will run only on licensed machines (node locked licensing).
We have a PXI chassis with one or more PCs connected to the same LAN as the chassis. We have locked our first license to the chassis by checking for the serial number of the DAQ card installed in the chassis. Now, we want to run a second license on ONLY ONE of the standard desktops connected to the chassis. We've removed the DAQ card check since there are no DAQ cards on the desktops. But a no check software can be freely copied and run on more than one desktops. How do we prevent this?
One idea is to check for the MAC address of the ethernet card at runtime. Question is how do I retrieve the MAC address at run time in my LV exe?
Is there another way to achieve a node locked licensing? Some people use HDD serial number .... ??
We are using LV 7.1 on Win2K.
Thanks.

About this questions, below I include a response I wrote to a similar subject. I hope it is useful.

If you still want to implement the copyright scheme yourself, this are some of my thoughts about that subject. I hope this can start a good topic of conversation:
If you want your program to run on a specific machine, you need to know about that machine so your software is somehow "made" exclusively for that machine. If you can make the software so it utilize resources very specific to the target computer, then you are ok. It is difficult to come up with the right analogy. Let say it is like somebody make a uniform specifically for you and take into consideration all your exact measurements like size, weight, etc. (we are assuming a little here, like those measurement won't change). It can be argued that there maybe somebody in the universe that is like you, but the chances can be sufficiently low so it is acceptable to you to take the risk. All this is usually very difficult and expensive.
A more common approach is to know information that can uniquely identify the computer and then create the application so it first ask the computer to identify itself. Upon correct identification, the application provide its services. An analogy is that I am the one who provide the services and I have your name and driver license number on file. If you request service, I ask you for those identifiers and once I verify your identity you are good to go.
A more secure approach will be that we share a secret like a password. I, as the application, ask you (the computer) to authenticate, that is, to provide identification and the password. An alternative is to have something that, although is not secret, it cannot be forged (at least, within certain probability). Let say I ask you for your signature. The bundle human presence + signature cannot be forged.
A way to implement the latest one may go like the following: each copy of your software has a unique identifier (SI) and a unique key (K) that enable the application. You ask the target computer for its unique identifiers (CUI). You generate a random string (R) for the secret and then create a function f such that: K = f(SI, CUI, R). To get the right key K that enable your software, all the other parameters must be the right ones.
If this is done right, the security of the application will depend on the secret (R), so you better generate and manage R right. Also, you want to make sure the function f() cannot be bypassed (i.e., direct insertion of K is not possible).
There are a lot of additional issues to deal here, but I'll stop for now. I need to run some errands....

Is there a stand alone virus checker for MAC?

Is there a Virus checker program that can run via a DVD or external to the hard drive? I would like to do a scan for any virus on the HD but do not want a resident one due to impeding speed of daily operation. The other alternative could be a check from within OS Lion utilities if there is something there?
As a rule, I do not open any unidentified attachment unless it's a friend and the file is not of a Macro nature.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

How do I get a Captivate SWF file converted for MAC products?

I thought I'd be able to publish to HTML5 and then use the APP Packager to get the file in a formate for Macs, but the HTML5 file doesn't work correctly. The program has 62 slides, and may just be too long to convert to HTML5.
I really need my program to work on MACs, and my SWF runs perfectly.

Okay - the big question must be:
1) Are you trying to publish an HTML5 compatible course, which users can view on their iPad using the Safari browser?
or
2) Are you trying to publish your course as an App, which must be uploaded and distributed through the App Store?
If it is number 1 then it is as Rod says. You need to upload all the published files to a web server. The users can then access your course in their Safari browser on the iPad by going to the URL (www.yourdomain.com/mycourse/)
If it is number 2 then you'll need to :
a) Get an Apple Developer ID
b) Run the course through the Adobe Captivate App Packager
c) Upload the finished App to the App store.

Compile class file, check for code structure quality

now i am trying to develop a system for my college final year project..the main function is to help the lecturer to mark the student java assignment
any way to compile the java file..just to check for the error? if got error then 0 mark..no error got mark..and then check for the code structure and so...base on that ..to decide the student mark..like if good structure 20 mark..bad? 5 mark and so.
is it possible to do so?
Junit?
any sample?

Checking for errors is easy, just write a script to check if javac completed successfully. You can use similar approaches (possibly needing to parse the output) for jlint/PMD/whatever to check code structure. If there's any custom checks you want to do, though, I suggest you grab a parser (possibly witgh semantic analysis; I've found the Eclipse one is rather easily extracted and is good for this stuff) and write manual checks. It might be easier to write PMD rules, but you won't have the flexibility.

When I convert a file (Word for Mac) my links are no longer clickable.

I created a document in Word for Mac that included several hyperlinks. When I convert the file using Acrobat to a PDF, the links are still colored and underlined but no longer can I click through on them. How do I maintain the click through ability in the PDF form?

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI from the Creative Cloud. On a Mac. Apparently keeping links clickable from Word/Mac to Adobe Acrobat is a known issue).
See this forum thread I later found after posting this question: Losing links when saving Word 2011 Mac to Acrobat Pro X 10.1.3
I was successful in exporting to Pages then creating a PDF, however, I had to spend time adjusting quite a bit of formatting, which was less than ideal. And some formatting (like quote boxes) changed in Pages and I cannot get the Word version of the Quote Box. So again, not idea There are some other fixes mentioned in the link above that I am going to try.

Import CSV file Skype for Mac

Cannot seem to import contacts. It is well hidden if it is possible, if not, it is a ridiculous omission.
Dear Skype;
Please add the feature of importing contacts from a CSV file, or better yet from a google account.

There is no way to import contacts directly into Skype for Mac from a CSV file. However, you can import contacts (with email and phone information) into Contacts.app. These system contacts can then be viewed in Skype using the Mac Contacts feature. See Preferences > General > Show Mac Contacts.
Part of the reason that it's not currently possible to import contacts in this way is because of the hadshake required: you must send a contact request to each contact you wish to add to your list. This includes a message explaining who you are, and why they should add you. Most people won't be able to receive a call or IM from you until they've accepted your contact request.
One last thing: your contact list is stored in the cloud. So when you log into Skype for Mac, you'll see your list of contacts just as it was on your Android device (for example).

Any .trm file players for mac -- or a way to convert them to wma files

I have some .trm files that I need to play, but right now they are only working in my windows partition. I'd like to know if there are any .trm file players for OS X or any software that can convert these trm files to an mp3 or wma file that will play on the mac partiton. I use a free program called express scribe to listen to recordings on my mac, but it won't play .trm files, and I'd like to continue to ues the mac partition instead of having to use Windows, which I hate with a passion. Can anyone help me?
I'm using Snow Leopard as well.

Okay, there are a few ways to do this using older versions of ForTheRecord's player software. Probably the most direct is (if you the ability to run Windows or to access a machine running Windows), download and install the older version 5.4.2 (the file is named Player542setup.exe) at http://community.fortherecord.com/index.php?/files/file/725-therecord-player-542 -old-version-player542setupexe
Once you install this player, you should be able to play your trm file. When you click on the "Save a Copy to" button (just to the left of the rewind button on the player, it will bring up a small window with options that include "Save format" and you can select "Windows Media" which will save the file to .wma format. This might be enough for you. I however, prefer working with mp3 files and then take the wma file and convet it using All2MP3.
I wish you luck. This company is not only Mac hostile, but they appear to be desperately clinging to an older business model that rewards tricks and gimmicks and fake excuses to keep their "propriatry" and inferrior software limitations - so that they can hold clients hostage. Anyway....
I too have not come across this in some time. I run a small business administering law firms and a staff of paralegals and we all generally use Macs and have virtually no problem with any service these days. Whether it is our large prominent client or our small sole practitioner - Macs have been our choice - and this headache with trm files is a rareity. Thankfull, the software the Court's normally use allows a straight to mp3 conversion, unlike this second intermediate step we have to take with your files.
Good luck.

File sync for Mac

I subscribed to CC in July - apparantly while sync was temporarily not working - I am STILL waiting. I have contacted support chat several times and they always direct me to this forum. Could a STAFF member or someone who knows anything about this help me PLEASE! Each time I turn on Sync files, it starts, then says: Creative Cloud Server Error. If I log into CC on another computer, my files are all "empty". This defeats the whole reason for me subscribing to CC, and is extremely frustrating. Please can someone help!! Rochelle (New Zealand)

File sync for Mac files NTFS

I have a NTFS 6TB raid5 array I use fr backups. For years I have been using freefilesync on Mac to sync my main data (also NTFS) drive. This worked fine but not I am using Mavericks it seems to also think all the files are changed every thine I do a sync. Any idea why this is, is there a different program I can change (not Timemachine as I just need a straight mirror.

File sharing for mac

I need a file sharing program for mac. I tried poisoned, and another one, but they all have pc files, isn't there a mac only file sharing program, one that only shares mac files?

AStedraDJ:
Maybe if you described what you are trying to accomplish it will be easier to direct you. Mac OS has it's own file sharing feature which enables file sharing between two macs. In OS X go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing. However, if that is not what you are looking for please post back with further clarification.
Good luck.

Blackberry IPD File Conversion for Mac- annoying.

Brethren,
All of the online converter software only seems to work with Windows, not for a Mac. Does anyone know how I can convert the data to something usable? My company will not let me download the Blackberry software to my work computer, which would allow me to transfer easily to my new blackberry. Also, I don't want to get off my large behind and go to a store to do it.

Grammar and spell check for mac user

Hi I recently got IMAC 21'' with OS X 10.8.5 .
I used to use Grammarly and Ginger it software in my previous window computer. For non english speaking person those softwares were very useful to edit ritings and email. Can anyone suggest whether I can install and use in my microsoft word in IMAC.
If not, are you aware about any other software (spelling and grammar checker) which is compatible with OSX.
I miss the ginger it . I love this MAc computer but miss to use those software. Any suggestions.
PAnkaj

You can download MS Office 2011 (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) for $140 from Microsoft. You could also download Pages (the Apple analogue to Word that reads and writes Word formatted files) for $20. Some people are choosing to use LibreOffice, which is free and duplicates almost all of the Office 11 features. So you have several choices from expensive to free.

File Encryption for Mac and Windows

I need to exchange with Windows users files which will contain financial and other sensitive data. Version Tracker & Mac Update have lots of Mac only encryption programs but I'm looking for one that works on both platforms.

The ideal solution would be PGP, which would not require you to ever transmit a key that could be intercepted and used to access the data. With PGP, you have a public key and a private key, and your colleague/client has a public key and a private key. You trade public keys, and protect your private keys. When you send data, you encrypt using a public key, and then only someone with the corresponding private key can decrypt it.
I've never tried this, but there's some free PGP software at:

HELP!!! NEED A FILE SHREDDER FOR MAC OS 9.1

Hi. I have a problem: I want to sell my old Mac G3 with MAc OS 9.1, but cannot find a file shredder to be able to erase my personal files properly!!!!
Can someone help me!!! Please!!!
rAtMonKeY

Burn 2.5 from www.thenextwave.com has worked fine for me for years. I keep an alias of it next to my Trash and just drag and drop a file onto it if I want to securely erase a file.
Also, PGP 6.5.8, the great freeware encryption program by Phil Zimmermann, has an "erase free space" function which one can use to wipe all the free space on your Mac which might have remnants of personal files you had earlier erased.
Also, if you have the install CDs, one could always reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system and write 0s and 1s to the hard drive during this process, but that would wipe all current files off your disk as part of the process.
