How to BackUp from Android to Desktop using ADB via a Context Menu
Pre-Req's:
install sdk, make sure you know how to run adb from cmd prompt.
Run cmd as Admin:
1. Figure out paths of your internal/external cards
adb shell ls $EXTERNAL_STORAGE
adb shell ls $SECONDARY_STORAGE
2. Test commands to work with external/internal
cd C:\Work\Tools\Misc\Android\sdk\platform-tools// INTERNAL
adb pull /sdcard/Backups/ C:\Temp\Phone\Media\20180216\Backups
// EXT SD CARD
adb pull /storage/D02B-5AB9/backups/ C:\Temp\Phone\Media\20180216\Backups
3. Create a bat file to backup all folders using those commands
See Synch.Phone.BackUp.bat below
Save to C:\temp (or ur own dir)
Run bat file like so: Synch.Phone.Backup C:\Temp\Phone\20180216
4. Add Reg file so we have a context menu
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere]
@="Execute Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere\command]
@="\"C:\\Temp\\Synch.Phone.BackUp.bat\" \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere]
@="Execute Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Synch03_PUSHPhoneHere\command]

Setting Up RDP on Machine with Firewall, Proxies, AntiVirus, File Blockers and other Security Apps. How to RDP with minimal privs:
Using RDP Tools on highly secure laptop : Hosting Procedures for my Fav 2 Remote Tools on Machines with Strict VPN’s
DeskRoll
Start
1. Disonnect VPN
2. Start CMD as Admin
3. net start DeskRollUnattendedAccess
4. UI Start: C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\DeskRoll Unattended Access\DeskRollU.exe"
5. Verify is Connected
6. Connect VPN
7. Await UI,
8. Set Proxy to http://prntscr.com/i6ao1n
Stop
0. kill DeskRollU.exe
1. net stop DeskRollUnattendedAccess
2. Drop VON
Any Connect
Start
1.Connect VPN
2. Run cmd as Admin, enter smart card creds
3. execute "C:\temp\SharePointAny\SharePointAny.exe"
Stop
1. Kill SharePointAny.exe
2. Disconnect VPN
Netstat for RDP Debug
https://apttech.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/using-netstat-to-resolve-rdp-issues/
Netstat:
Poll outgoing, poll every 1 sec for port listening
netstat -an 1 | find "3333"
Poll incoming
netstat -an 1 | find "4444" | find "ESTABLISHED"
Network Port Scan
netstat -a -n
Now you want to go into Start > Run > cmd > look for ESTABLISHED connections
"netstat -ano"
Firewall Check/ Commands
Run:
wf.msc
netsh firewall show state
netsh firewall show config
Enable Port
netsh firewall add portopening TCP 80 "Open Port 80"
Port Usage:
Check If Listening:
>netstat -an |find "3306"
Check any other firewalls are blocking any ports
netstat -ano | findstr -i SYN_SENT
Test Port
to test all open ports:
portqry.exe -n #.#.#.#
To test a specific port:
portqry.exe -n #.#.#.# -e #
For example to test the Web interface of a router at 192.168.1.1:
portqry.exe -n 192.168.1.1 -e 80
Which returns:
TCP port 80 (http service): LISTENING
Where as testing on a local machine with no HTTPD running returns:
TCP port 80 (http service): NOT LISTENING
Using a PortScan utility you will get one of 3 results.
Listening means the server is listening on the specified port
Filtered means it received a TCP acknowledgement packet with the Reset flag set which likely indicates a firewall or software issue
Not Listening means it didn't receive a response at all
telnet is another command line option that is usually installed on the OS by default. This command line utility can be used a quick way to see if a port responds to a network request.
To use telnet you would simply issue the following command from a command prompt:
telnet localhost 3306'
Save Commands History
doskey /history > commands.log
difference between [::] 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1
0.0.0.0, in this context, "all IP addresses on the local machine"
127.0.0.1 the service is only bound to the loopback interface
[::] IPv6
Use NetStat for Remote
https://apttech.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/using-netstat-to-resolve-rdp-issues/
Change Service Names:
Rename Service Image Path w/ sc
binPath= "\"PATH WITH SPACES \COMMAND.EXE\" --param-with-quotes=\"a b c\" --param2"
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | | |
opening escaped regular escaped escaped closing
quote quote backslash closing quotes quote
for for in quote for for
whole path path for path parameter whole
command command
or
Stop the service. You will probably confuse the service control manager if you do this on a running service. (You may confuse it anyhow, this is very hacky.)
Open regedit.exe (Registry Editor).
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and find the subkey with your service's name.
Right-click the key you found in step #3, and select Rename. Enter the new name for the service.
Restart the computer. Services.exe, the process that hosts the service control manager, won't see the change unless you do; attempts to start the renamed process (or otherwise interact with it at all, actually) will fail.
or
sc config "Old service name" displayname= "New service name"
To change the executable you can run:
sc config "Service name" binpath= "C:\path\to\executable\here"
For both of those commands, make sure you have a space between the = and the new name (ie. displayname= "New Name", NOT displayname="New Name")
or
sc config "Name of Service" start= disabled
sc stop "Name of Service"
Change File Properties
Verpatch to change via cmd line
Office file via code:
OleDocumentPropertiesClass
//creates new class of oledocumentproperties
var doc = new OleDocumentPropertiesClass();
//open your selected file
doc.Open(pathToFile, false, dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionDefault);
//oyu can set properties with summaryproperties.nameOfProperty = value; for example
doc.SummaryProperties.Company = "lol";
doc.SummaryProperties.Author = "me";
//after making changes, you need to use this line to save them
doc.Save();

Keep Email Inbox Organized: Alternative to unroll.me Using EmailPet (UNROLL.ME SUCKS!!)
Due to Unroll.me lying to users and selling info to uber which leads to MORE junk email, many users are dumping unroll.me like a hot potato and rightfully so. This product is a great tool however the “free” price tag comes with a cost to our privacy. With Unroll.me not looking like they will quit this “share your data” bad habit any time soon, privacy conscious users are left out in the cold looking for an alternative. After a good many hours seeking an alternative that can A) auto organize incoming emails and B) automate the unsubscribing or removal of spam for our clogged inboxes, I found 1 tool that rose to the top of my list and it looks like the best and cleanest competition to unroll.me and a great alternative to the biggest player in the email management space Sanebox. This tool is EmailPet! and below is some config settings I have used to start my use of EmailPet.
Below are my beginer settings for EmaiPet, and with a price of 5$ per Month for 5 email addresses its a small price to pay when compared to SaneBox. Plus to be quite honest, EmailPet is more easy to use than SaneBox and from my point of view its is less intrusive to my gmail/pop3 email client. With a clean Dashboared to manage lists/filters and the ability to ala-carte add custom lists/filters, EmailPet can be a great alternative to Unroll.me, SaneBox and almost any other Email management tool.
All of the below settings are OTB minus a Receipts List/Filter that I added. This is another awesome feature of this tool: extensibility allows users to create their own Filter/Lists. By following the configuration of the existing OTB BlackList Filter/Lists, I created my own custom Filter/Lists for Receipts. In my case I created a List first and then the Filter (made of 2 parts) this is then used by EmailPet to “Learn” over time. Its not really learning, it just uses a growing association construct meaning emails Senders added to my Receipts folder are added to a list and then when any NEW emails arrive that match an item in that list the NEW email gets auto moved to the Receipts folder. Very clean and cool!
BTW I tried some other alternatives, that ranged from Open Source Auto UnSubscription to a nice proprietary free (form now) UnSubscribe tool to some very lavish email clients/management frameworks like mailstrom ect which were over kill for my major requirements: 1) Replace the functionality of unroll.me with 2) low cost 3) across several email accounts.
Config of my email Account:
Create a standard folder structure, not required by EmailPet, just a good practice in my opinion, this is used by the various EmailPet ala-carte filters, I created a standard because I have 4 email accounts, so with a standard folder (label) layout I can easily port the emailpet config across all my email accounts:
Filters:
Custom Filter (made up of 2 parts)
Part 1
Part 2
Lists:

These procedures can be used to create a locked down enviornment, e.g: Child Computer, Limited Admin, Adult Content Filter Protections and File Security
download and install:
1. Filtering Apps: K9 and Stop Filter
this is one of the only tools I found that locks folders, files and apps. It is simple, intuitive and stable. I have tried several others but none are as good as File Lock
Allows setting security DACL’s on Windows Services, prevents user from stopping services
4. MIsc Apps:
Configure:
1. Run Service Lock Utility: restrict User from stopping services:
2. Run File Lock Utility lock files
Lock
pornFilter
K9 files
gpedit.msc
Set PWD
3. Local Policy Editor: gpedit.msc
Apps:
App Locker: Lock/Software Protections
"C:\Work\Tools\AntiVirus\KidFilter\Free\LockService\ServiceSecurityEditor.exe"
Lock System
Microsoft.UserAccounts
regedit
RESTRICT access to regedit!
4. Misc GPO
Disable Task Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr Hide Policy Editor:User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Management Console\Restricted/Permitted snap-ins\Group Policy\Group Policy Object Editor
Disable Any Control Panel Applet
Disable Windows Services Applet
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MMC\{58221C66-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033} and locate Restrict_Run registry key
5. If User is not Administrator:
Configuring Windows 7 for a Limited User Account
else
6. If User is Admin but want to limit some apps:
a) Create 2nd Admin User Admin2
b) Set ServiceLock user “Manage Service” DACL to this user. Set everyone else Deny “Stop Service”
7. Assign revoke Terminate_Process DACL Refs:

K9filter.exe to
hlth.ex
movie.exe
2) Create Boot process:
a) Service that is a Service Driver
b) kernel hacking, as mdm said, or diving into rootkit territory. Which I would suggest you avoid.
c) Winlogon notification package.
2) Create watcher proess:
a) create app to run at boot
b) Set to un-killable
c) Process will watch K9filter.exe , hlth.exe ect
d) for each process:
if process is dead: restart
else do nothing
