for all those who are having trouble getting their hex file fixed,
this method might or might not help you.using a hex editor, instead
of using backspace key to delete the existing 2 letters try someother way
to replace the letters.
i used backspace and didnt work,tried someother method and it worked
its charm

It just depends upon the type and functions of hex editor ur using... :) just make sure no other changes should take place to the remaning file .....

Finally got everything done. Sent the email and all. Although I did not verify my MD5, just sent it.
This is my first post ever just to thank you guys, I mean all of you who have been helpful to others. I had picked up my mag in the 1st week but somehow could open it only after 16th, thankfully by then all the time cues were thru and my contest went smoothly .......only because I had the forum for reassurance.

Like so many others lotsastuff learned. Feel closer to being a g33k than being a doc.
Thanks guys...
Thanks digit...
Thank you...design team...
Thank you...everyone related to CTC
Hope they'll be more sometime:|

Why the people who used Windows own Notepad.exe for fixing the hexed file didn't get a working exe file?

Windows Notepad.exe is specific in saving a file as plain text. A simple example as a proof what it did with the HEX file in the saving operation.

It simply replaced every 'NUL' character which has a ASCII value of 0, in the hex file to your regular 'SPACE' which has a ASCII value of 32 in decimal or 0x20 in hexadecimal.

You don't have to look much more, as exe files have a lot of 'NUL' characters in them!

Digit Saved My Day

This should go in the Feedback section may be, but i couldn't decide where else to post so i posted this here.

The Linux Mint Live CD in the January issue saved my day!

I had gone to check a computer which has showing a file missing error and windows xp was not starting. I fixed that machine and told the girl who was using that machine to start moving her files from the C: drive as it was almost full.

Next day i got a call, telling me that 'ntldr' is missing error has started in that machine. i had to ask her whether she had moved the files. guess what she said, she moved all files in C: except the Documents and Settings, Windows, and Program Files to D:

I didn't want to reinstall WinXP as the machine was bought in 2003 and had shown ACPI problems when i had tried the last time. I just inserted the Mint Live CD, and prayed that it allows me to move the files back to C: drive.

To my delight, i found that Mint directly loads the local file-systems in R/W mode even in GUI mode. earlier using Ubuntu Live CD i had to go to console and do su every time to copy and delete files. I had to copy 'ntldr' and the other system files back to C: drive and the machine was booting Win XP again!

Thanx Digit for including Mint Live CD in the January issue!

@Tron91, proxyg33k and everyone else who helped me at the last junction.....

Thanks everyone! I finally got the file right. I had known what to do all along but the softwares were confusing me.

Recommend everyone else stuck at the last point to use a good hex editor. :)

Re: HELP FOR CTC Episode 3

HELP FOR CTC Episode 3

After getting so many pm's I thought it will be better to help everyone in general with a few hints for crossing the 3rd river of CTC. But, I would want everyone to give it a direct shot before reading this post! Cause crossing the river which comes on the 14th will be more difficult!

The text below are not displayed openly, select them to see them ;-)



A. The ENGINE woes

You will need a keen vision for this! You will have to look everywhere in the monitor/CRT for hints! I would say look up and below the picture. You will get two hints and then use the message in the picture. You should be looking at your next clue now, if you followed what I had written.


B. You have been HEXed!

Beware! This comes in two parts!

If you have played any RPG fantasy games you will know what HEX refers to, a CURSE which modifies your capabilities, more precisely reduces them. The file has been HEXed and its correct! You have to undo the HEX to get the next clue. Knowledge of Hexadecimal number system helps. Also if you have come across the term FILE HEADERS, should give you a nudge in the right direction.

The second part is simple like a regular vegetable dish.


C. ZIPper problem returns

This one employs a used method for data theft. Enough said and seen would make you believe to do the right thing with the right object! Solve this and you meet your Valentine!


I am so stuck up in the hood thing even my username says so so can you please PM me at hitlerboi@hotmail.com....asap........would be very very very grateful to you :) :) :p
