Professional Digital Services Ltd.A simple script which takes two paths as parameters. The first is to an existing bitmap image (bmp/jpg/png/etc), and the second is the path to the desired icon file. The script will then use the .NET graphics library (System.Graphics) to perform the conversion and generate an icon file. This can be useful, for example when wanting to create a custom icon for an application you are developing, or for a shortcut you want to create on your desktop.
This is a PSM Module that implements a Base32 encoder and decoder. Although the .NET library contains native support for Base64 encoding/decoding via the [convert] class, there is no built in method for Base32 encoding or decoding.
Why might Base32 be useful?
This article describes how to install sendmail and stunnel onto an Ubuntu (Debian) Linux distribution and configure to forward all email for delivery to your ISP’s mail relay server via an stunnel proxy, so that the SMTP connection is tunnelled over TLS (i.e. it uses SMTPs).
To establish a TLS connection to a server using the OpenSSL command-line, use the following…
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have started a project called “STARTTLS Everywhere”, with the aim of promoting more secure email delivery.
The idea is to maintain a queryable list of mail servers which support STARTTLS, in an effort to prevent downgrade attacks.
The sample code shown below is broadly equivalent to using the PowerShell get-random cmdlet, but uses the native .NET RNG Cryptographic Service Provider.

A simple proof-of-concept PowerShell Script to read and edit the metadata properties of an existing XML Paper Specification (XPS) document. The script opens the document, modifies the Title and Creator properties, and then outputs all properties to the PowerShell console window, before closing the document again.
A simple proof-of-concept PowerShell script, which levereages the Win32 API to minimise the PowerShell console window for five seconds, and restore it again. Code taken from the Microsoft Docs page for the Add-Type cmdlet (see example 3).
