Orphan date October 2008 SYDI S cript Y our D ocumentation I nstantly is an open source project which goal is to help system administrators to document their networks. The files released by the project are hosted at SourceForge . SYDI is built around scripts which can target computers running the Microsoft Windows Windows and Linux operating systems. The Windows scripts are written in VBScript while the Linux script is written in the Python programming language Python programming language . Each script has two basic functions Collecting and Reporting. After targeting a system the script collects information from the target and then writes the output to an XML file or a Microsoft Word document. SYDI is licensed under the BSD License . SYDI Components As of version 2.0, SYDI consists of four separate script packages, each of which target specific operating system s or applications. SYDI Server SYDI Server is the most developed script within the SYDI project. It is used to document Windows servers or clients. It collects information with Windows Management Instrumentation WMI and by reading the Windows registry . SYDI Server finds basic hardware settings, installed software, domain membership, network settings etc. SYDI Exchange SYDI Exchange is used to document Microsoft Exchange Server organizations. Information is gathered through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol LDAP queries to the Active Directory where the Exchange information is stored. SYDI SQL SYDI SQL is used to document Microsoft SQL MS SQL Servers. Information is gathered by using SQL queries against the target server. SYDI Linux SYDI Linux is the least developed package within the SYDI project. Information is gathered by reading various files on a Linux system. SYDI Linux focuses on documenting the Gentoo Linux distribution. Unlike the other SYDI packages this is not able to write Microsoft Word documents, however the XML file created can be converted into an OpenOffice.org OpenOffice document. Extern ... more details

Kapsules is a freeware desktop Widget computing widget engine for Microsoft Windows Windows . It makes use of the Windows Scripting Technology, allowing widget designers to use any scripting language that has an Active Script ActiveScript engine. Those widgets are then made available on Kapsules website. As of 2005 alt As of December 2005 , widgets are available in eight different scripting languages. Kapsules is reliant on the .NET Framework . All versions of Kapsules before and including version 0.9.9.0 have targeted version 1.1 of .NET, and all later versions target version 2.0. As mentioned above, widgets can be written in any language for which there is an ActiveScript engine. Kapsules also supports Microsoft .NET .NET scripting languages. This flexibility allows widget designers to use and interface with a much larger codebase, enabling them to interface with a wider variety of existing software components. Widgets have been written in Python programming language Python , PHP , JScript , JScript.NET , VBScript , VB.NET , Ruby programming language Ruby and Perl . Kapsules was inspired by Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke s Konfabulator Which has recently been purchased by Yahoo and rebranded as Yahoo Widgets . Both are widget engines with very similar functionality. Konfabulator was originally written for Mac OS X and later Porting ported to the Windows environment, while Kapsules was designed to use integral components of Windows. By using a managed framework, Kapsules lets designers choose from one of several scripting languages, while Konfabulator widgets are written exclusively in JavaScript. Also, Kapsules can be installed on a Windows guest account, whereas Konfabulator requires Administrator privileges. On or around November 9, 2006, the Kapsules website was updated with a single page stating that the site had been Hacker computer security hacked . It also said that the developers were busy working on an updated version of the application and the website. No up ... more details

Client side scripts may also contain instructions for the browser to follow in response to certain user actions, e.g., clicking a button . Often, these instructions can be followed without further communication with the server. By viewing the file that contains the script, users may be able to see its source code . Many web authors learn how to write client side scripts partly by examining the source code for other authors scripts. In contrast, server side scripting server side scripts , written in languages such as Perl , PHP , ASP.NET , Java programming language Java , and VBScript server side VBScript , are executed by the web server when the user requests a document.

Christmas Tree EXEC was the first widely disruptive computer worm , which paralyzed several international computer networks in December 1987. Written by a student at the Clausthal University of Technology in the REXX scripting language, it drew a crude Christmas tree as ASCII art text graphics , then sent itself to each entry in the target s email contacts file. In this way it spread onto the European Academic Research Network EARN , the BITNET , and IBM s worldwide IBM VNET VNET . On all of these systems it caused massive disruption. Its core mechanism was essentially the same as the ILOVEYOU worm of 2000 although running on mainframes rather than PCs, spreading over a different network, and scripted using REXX rather than VBScript . Trivia The name is sometimes written CHRISTMAS EXEC because the script file is an EXEC executable , and the file concerned was in fact named CHRISTMA, as IBM systems of the day only supported 8 character filenames. The user was prompted to ...just type CHRISTMAS... and this in fact launched the worm .
