How to encrypt a file in VBScript using AES? When trying to make a secure encryption system for some secret keys, I wanted to see if we can encrypt the file containing the key in VBScript using AES  Looking at other posts, I found that:  '----------------------------------------------------- Dim obj,arr,i,r,str,enc,asc dim bytes,bytesd,s,sc,sd set obj=WScript.CreateObject("System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged") Set asc = CreateObject("System.Text.UTF8Encoding") s="This is a private message" bytes=asc.GetBytes_4(s) obj.GenerateKey() obj.GenerateIV() set enc=obj.CreateEncryptor() set dec=obj.CreateDecryptor()  bytec=enc.TransformFinalBlock((bytes),0,lenb(bytes)) sc=asc.GetString((bytec)) msgbox sc  byted=dec.TransformFinalBlock((bytec),0,lenb(bytec)) sd=asc.GetString((byted)) msgbox sd '-----------------------------------------------------   This is useful to encrypt a string, but, it will be possible to set a default key and IV to the AES encryption, because I want to encrypt a and decrypt file, so I need to have already a key and IV to decrypt.  Is there any way to encrypt a file in VBScript using AES?
How to encrypt in VBScript using AES? I am looking to encrypt some data using  in  using a specific key and  value. Are there any good function libraries or COM components that would be good to use?  I looked at ; it allows a passphrase only, and won't allow setting specific key and IV values.
Technique for finding the nth term I'm a trainee teacher and I need to pass a skills test in maths, but I'm having trouble in this particular area of algebra in finding the nth term of any sequence. I've been given a series of questions to answer one of them is:  Find the nth term of the sequence 3, 8, 15, 24.  I not only need to know the answer but more importantly the technique. This is GCSE level. I just read a description of CVE-2020-1971, which indicates that a patch was released today for openSSL, the patched version is 1.1.1i -- my version of Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS is running openSSL version 1.1.1f.  From last March. Software Updater says that my system is up to date.  I am hoping that this openSSL update is released by Canonical by tomorrow... can anyone confirm they are working on this? Countable sets have the same cardinality as the natural numbers (or a subset of the natural numbers, depending on who you ask).  Can one make the same claim about uncountable sets and real numbers?  In other words, do all uncountable sets have same cardinality as real numbers? In drupal 7 you can do this to load an entity revision using  ($entity_type, $ids = FALSE, $conditions = array(), $reset = FALSE)  like this:  $old_revision = entity_load('node', array(), array('vid' =&gt; 123));   However now $conditions is being deprecated. Pretty much wherever you go you see people saying that you should use  instead of conditions, however that doesn't help in this case. You can use  to query revisions using EntityFieldQuery however it doesn't give you fully loaded node results so you then still have to load the entity and how do you load that revision of that entity without the conditions. Is $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ or $=x$? Isn't $(x^2)^\frac12=x?$ $|x|=\sqrt{x^2}$ as  shows. But, as $(x^2)^\frac12=x$, I can't understand where am I wrong interpreting Square-root. Allow given application to run as administrator, without prompting user for credentials Change Folder Permissions Pixel Perfect 2D tiles I'm trying to make an 64x64 tilemap using Super Tilemap Editor &amp; Unity but my tiles looks terrible. I did my research about pixel perfect 2D and all of the solutions were for pixel art, they didn't work for me.  I have the following tileset I made in Adobe Illustrator as an example    Tiles looks like this when placed in game (1x zoom)    I'm pretty sure they're not 64x64 in game, they also look pixelated probably because they're smaller than they actually are on camera.  So my question is, how can I calculate the correct camera size for 64x64 tiles and do I have to make any changes in order to make sprites look pixel perfect? I'm currently using 1080/64/2=8.4375 (vertical resolution / PPU / 2) as camera size. Trouble downloading packages list due to a "Hash sum mismatch" error When I check for updates, I get a "Failed To Download Repository Information" error.   This is what comes up under details:   W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch,  E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I don't have cd burner, so I want to install W7 on my 2nd computer via an USB-Drive. I just copied the files from the iso but it won't boot. So I installed ms-sys and did a ms-sys -7 /dev/sdb but it just says "Boot error".  How can I install it the right way? Tried many different tutorials by now but none worked. How to resolve "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt"? When I try to sync my iPhone with my computer, I get the following message:       iTunes could not back up the iPhone "iPhone Name"   because the backup was corrupt or not compatible   with the iPhone.      Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again.   Yet, here is no option to delete the backup. Where are backups stored / how can I delete the backup?

Variables in batch file not being set when inside IF? I have two examples of very simple batch files:  Assigning a value to a variable:  @echo off set FOO=1 echo FOO: %FOO% pause echo on   Which, as expected, results in:  FOO: 1  Press any key to continue . . .   However, if I place the same two lines inside an IF NOT DEFINED block:  @echo off IF NOT DEFINED BAR (     set FOO=1     echo FOO: %FOO% ) pause echo on   This unexpectedly results in:  FOO:  Press any key to continue . . .   This shouldn't have anything to do with the IF, clearly the block is being executed.  If I define BAR above the if, only the text from the PAUSE command is displayed, as expected.    What gives?    Follow up question: Is there any way to enable delayed expansion without setlocal?   If I were to call this simple example batch file from inside another, the example sets FOO, but only LOCALLY.   For example:   testcaller.bat   @call test.bat  @echo FOO: %FOO%  @pause    test.bat   @setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion  @IF NOT DEFINED BAR (      @set FOO=1      @echo FOO: !FOO!  )    This displays:   FOO: 1  FOO:  Press any key to continue . . .    In this case, it appears that I have to enable delayed expansion in the CALLER, which may be a hassle. Is "life" a countable noun in English? I am a learner of English. Sometimes I see an article (a and the) before the noun (life) but sometimes I also see the noun without any article. So I am confused when should I use an article before the noun and when I should not. Please check the examples and let me know are they correct?     Examples:      His life is an awesome life.      I want to get a beautiful life.      I like the life he lived. I am developing an offline installer for all versions of Ubuntu, and I need Ubuntu's default installed packages list. Is there a way to get this information from any server (web server)? Any script to fetch any Ubuntu version's default installed packages list.  I will give the Ubuntu version, and the script will fetch the packages list.  Note: I need at least a server address. I can write a script for this.
