So I recently delved in to the world of with a view to making a low-cost (disposible) Rubby Ducky for cyber security and pen testing work. Unfortunately, while these little boards are “ok”, the DigiKeyboard.h library is built to map US keyboard scan codes to ASCII characters. For UK keyboards this is OK fo ...
As a basic presentation tool, PowerPoint is great and used correctly, the animation features can create some decent flows but I’ve always been frustrated by the fact that you cannot set individual slides to get to the end of their animations and automatically move to the next slide. There’s a bunch of sugge ...
I recently had a very frustrating issue where my laptop was struggling to upload anything to anywhere (OneDrive, photo uploads, etc.) were appalling but other than that, everything was running fine. First things first, I performed a speed test on my device (one via Google, one via Ookla): Both tools showed a consistent ...
It seems that in the recent shift-around’s that Microsoft have done of the Office 365 / Microsoft 365 platform, they’ve really screwed up a number of things (see my last post about probems with the Information Protection functionality). The latest one seems to be with DKIM setup for your domain names ̵ ...

UPDATE: Solution detailed at the bottom, currently Rights Management can only be enabled by PowerShell because – well – Microsoft. I’ve adapted a quote often used for REGEX to summarise the problems of setting up Microsoft Information Protection within Microsoft 365: “So you have a problem you c ...
Spoiler alert: the problem for me was a recent update from Microsoft: KB5011497 I recently had one of those days when reconfiguring a domain controller I’d been playing with to start using it properly but part of the process was a domain name changed and after doing that, I had all sort of weird behavior and fail ...
After a recent reinstall of Windows 10 on my laptop, I suddently discovered that Photoshop would no longer load – it crashed at the point of “initializing html surfaces”, presenting no error – just disappearing. Initially I assumed the problem was with Photoshop because I had updated to the late ...
Today I upgraded to Photoshop 2022 (specifically version 23.0.0 20211013.r.36 623993d x64) and when I launched it, was greeted with the fairly unhelpful message “Your graphics processor is incompatible”: It turns out that the most recent up date to Photoshop has introduced a bug for laptop users that are ru ...
So I treated myself to some more Hak5 kit (having previously only had the Rubber Ducky), the new devices come with access to a free Command and Control platform – called Cloud C2 – that can be run on Android, Linux or Windows. For experimental purposes, running this on a local device (such as a ) is fine b ...
