Improvise: [s3e1]

In this episode, Angus "Mac" MacGyver has left the Phoenix Foundation and is living a quiet life in Nigeria. However, he is drawn back into action when he discovers that his father, James MacGyver, has been targeted by a dangerous cartel. Mac must put aside his complicated feelings toward his father to save him, utilizing his signature resourcefulness to build tools and escape traps on the fly.

Mac scoffed, but the mention of a civilian target pulled at the instinct he couldn't quite suppress. "You have a whole team, James. Call Jack. Call Riley." [S3E1] Improvise

Armed mercenaries were closing in. Mac looked around the derelict space. No weapons. No backup. Just a pile of discarded chemical drums, some copper wiring, and a handful of cleaning supplies. In this episode, Angus "Mac" MacGyver has left

Mac looked his father in the eye. "The protocol was broken the moment you lied to me. I didn't save you because of the Foundation. I did it because you're the only father I've got, even if I don't like you very much right now." Mac scoffed, but the mention of a civilian

The drive to the site was silent, the tension between father and son vibrating louder than the engine. When they arrived at the outskirts of the compound, things went south instantly. An ambush left their vehicle disabled and James pinned under a fallen support beam in an old warehouse.

Mac sat on the rusted porch in Nigeria, the humid air thick with the scent of rain and earth. For three months, he had traded high-stakes espionage for the rhythmic work of a mechanic, fixing irrigation pumps and old tractors. He didn’t miss the explosions or the secrets. Most of all, he didn’t miss the shadow of the man who had lied to him for decades.

As the mercenaries breached the door, Mac threw a makeshift flash-bang created from magnesium shavings and a camera battery. The blinding light bought him seconds. He used a length of copper wire and a car battery to create a rudimentary arc welder, slicing through the metal bolt holding the beam over his father.

Free Tool - List Registry Links (REG_LINK)

Recently I got into a very interesting discussion with my colleague Nicholas Dille on various aspects of Windows x64. One question he brought up was especially intriguing: knowing about registry redirection, it is not astonishing to find that the 32-bit version of the registry key HKLM\Software\Classes (aka HKCR) gets to be HKLM\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node. But there is also HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Classes!? How can there be two different Wow6432Node 32-bit keys for one 64-bit key?

Free Tool: Refresh the Desktop Programmatically

I recently had the requirement to refresh the Windows desktop after certain changes had been made to Explorer’s registry entries. This seems simple at first: klick on any item on the desktop and then press F5. It wasn’t, though. The registry changes would be made upon logon by a software installation agent. It was expected by the customer that the end user see the the effects of the change immediately without any user intervention. That sent me hunting for a solution on the internet. I came across many forum posts that showed that many others already had exactly the same requirement. Interestingly, none of the proposed solutions actually worked. Except for one, which I found at last.

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

After having published in WordPress for almost 20 years, it was time for a change. This site is now rendered by Hugo, a static website generator built for Markdown content hosted in a Git repository. The migration from WordPress (HTML) to Hugo (Markdown) was far from trivial. Since I couldn’t find any tool for the job, I developed my own set of migration scripts that fully automate the migration process. You can find them on GitHub along with extensive documentation.
