Well.. It's bank holiday Monday here in the UK which means I've got the day off work so I had a go at automating getting a new Identity / IP address in Tor every X minutes.

I'm using Windows and running Tor Portable.

Below is my working prototype that does work but has many flaws.. *cough* Drumm has already shouted at me... For the sendkeys command to work the window that it's sending to has to be in focus which means whenever you're doing something the telnet session will pop up so it can send commands to it. I also gave up trying to get the loop to end meaning even if you close the telnet session the script is still sending text to anything that will except it meaning you have to kill the wscript process. I may or may not have forkbombed myself in testing.

    VB Programming 
  1. ' A Visual Basic Script to use a new identity in tor every x minutes
  2. ' use dim to create a variable, our variable is called objShell
  3. ' The SendKeys method is used to send keystrokes to the currently active window as if they where typed from the keyboard
  4. ' AppActive.. Activates an application that is already running bringing it in to focus
  5. dim objShell
  6. dim password
  7. dim endloop
  8. Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  9. ' set the password variable equal to the password for telnet &Chr(34) is ANSI for "
  10. password = "passwordhere"&Chr(34)
  11. ' Set the value of endloop for the loop below
  12. endloop = "0"
  13. ' opens a command prompt / whatever program you tell it to below
  14. objShell.Run "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe"
  15. ' sleeps for x milliseconds 1000 = 1 seconds
  16. Wscript.Sleep 1000
  17. ' sends the commands to the cmd window.. connects and authenticates to the control port over telnet 
  18. objShell.sendkeys "telnet 127.0.0.1 9051"
  19. objShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
  20. Wscript.Sleep 1500
  21. objShell.sendkeys "authenticate "&Chr(34) & password
  22. objShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
  23. Wscript.Sleep 3000
  24. ' Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True. 
  25. Do Until endloop=1
  26. If endloop=1 Then Exit Do
  27. ' contents of the loop below
  28. objShell.SendKeys "signal newnym"
  29. objShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
  30. ' sleep for 5 minutes (300000)
  31. Wscript.Sleep 300000
  32. ' Activates the running telnet session with the title Telnet 127.0.0.1
  33. objShell.AppActivate("Telnet 127.0.0.1")
  34. Wscript.Sleep 500
  35. ' contents of the loop above
  36. Loop



Am I allowed to use an excuse? This is my first VBS.. promise!

Edit.. I should add I'm looking to make this work in the background, cycle through a list of URLs and log all output to a file with times, what IP it picked up and what sites it visited under that IP.

This may also apply to a Honda CM / Honda CG and similar bikes. It's very important that the chain on a motorbike isn't too loose or too tight, you should have about 10-15mm freeplay at the centre of the chain.

1) Unscrew / loosen the chain tensioners at the rear of the bike (those two things sticking out of the back)
2) Undo the wheel nut on the right side of the bike (19mm) then pull the wheel back.
3) Line the wheel up, (important that it's straight), the chain tensioners work by pulling the wheel back, so tighten the chain tensioners equally then lock them off.
4) Tighten the 19mm nut.
5) Eyeball it, spin the wheel and make sure it looks straight. You can also use a ruler to measure the tensioning nuts length, they should be equal.]]> Adjusting the Chain on a Huoniao HN125-8 / Lexmoto Vixen

Being locked out is normally caused when Sage is forcefully ended eg. a system crash or force quit.


Navigate to C:\program Files\Sage\HR and double click the file in there called RemoveSession

The drive works in the BIOS and to install media from (install suse from it) but as soon as you log in it's not detected.

I've added the member to the "cdrom" group but still nothing, I've also tried logging in as root but that didn't work either.

How to reboot in to safe mode from Windows 7 – F8 Not Working?

Booting into Windows Safe Mode requires repeatedly pressing the F8 key during the POST, the process your computer goes through before it boots into Windows. Sometimes, however, pressing the F8 key in any way or at any time just won’t work for example your keyboard isn't recognised at POST.

Windows 7 offers you the opportunity to enter Safe Mode the next time you restart your computer. In addition, there are various options available using this method that are not available using the F8 method. Read on to learn how to force Windows 7 into Safe Mode the next time your computer restarts.


To restart your computer into Windows 7 Safe Mode

1) Begin by clicking on Start and then Run. If your Windows 7 Start menu doesn’t have the Run option showing, hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the R key. Whichever method you use, you should now be looking at the Run dialog box. Type msconfig into the run box and click OK.

2) You should now be looking at the System Configuration window. Click on the Boot tab to see all of the boot options Windows 7 has to offer.

[Image: PIC02.png]


3) Locate the section titled Boot Option on the System Configuration window. Here you can check the option titled Safe Mode. Notice that Minimal Safe Mode is the default Safe Mode option. You need to change that to “Network” instead of Minimal. (aka safe mode with networking)

[Image: PIC03.png]


4) Windows 7 will then ask if you want to Restart Now or Exit Without Restarting. Click the Restart Now button and your computer will restart in Safe Mode.
