How To Delete a VHD in Windows 7

Windows 7 has a neat feature where you can create Virtual Hard Drives and even encrypt them. Today we show you how to delete it if you no longer need the drive and regain local hard drive space.

Virtual Hard Drive

In a previous post we showed you the steps for creating a VHD. Remember when creating a VHD it’s using the space on the volume where you create it.

When you no longer have a use for it, you can go into Computer Management by right-clicking Computer then Manage.

In Computer Management go under Disk Management, right-click on the VHD you want to get rid of and select Delete Volume.

Agree to the warning message that appears. You probably want to make sure and head its advice and make sure there is no data you need on it.

However, the drive is not completely gone, you’ll need to go in and manually delete it.

That’s it! Now it’s gone and you have regained some hard drive space for whatever you need.

Defacing Sites via HTML Injections (XSS)

Defacing Sites via HTML Injections Defacing Sites via HTML Injections What Is HTML Injection: "HTML Injection" is called as the Virtual Defacement Technique and also known as the "XSS" Cross Site Scripting. It is a very common vulnerability found when searched for most of the domains. This kind of a Vulnerability allows an "Attacker" to Inject some code into the applications affected in order to bypass access to the "Website" or to Infect any particular Page in that "Website". HTML injections = Cross Site Scripting, It is a Security Vulnerability in most of the sites, that allows an Attacker to Inject HTML Code into the Web Pages that are viewed by other users. XSS Attacks are essentially code injection attacks into the various interpreters in the browser. These attacks can be carried out using HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, Flash and other clinet side Languages. Well crafted Malicious Code can even hep the ...

EKS Cluster and Create CSI Driver to store credentials in AWS Secrets Manager via SecretProviderClass

EKS Cluster | CSI Driver | SecretProviderClass | AWS Secrets Manager Setup EKS Cluster and Manage Credentials at runtime using CSI driver using SecretProviderClass and Secrets Manager Assuming you have Configured/Installed AWS CLI, EKSCTL, KUBECTL, HELM. CSI Basic Information: CSI (Container Storage Interface) widely used as a Storage Technology. Created by Google | Mesosphere | Docker. It has two two Plugins one runs on the Master Node (Centralized Controller Plugin) and another one on Worker Nodes (Decentralized headless Node Plugin). CSI communication protocol is gRPC. The communication between Container Orchestration to Controller Plugin (Master) and to Node Plugin (Worker Node) happens using gRPC . CSI Drivers : vendor specific compiled into Kubernetes/openshift binaries. To use a CSI driver, a StorageClass needs to be assigned first. The CSI driver is then set as the Provisioner for the Storage Class. CSI drivers provide three main service...

Linux Systems Performance/Observability (BPF (bpfcc-tools), BCC Tools

Linux System Performance/Observability Tools Linux Systems Performance/Observability (BPF (bpfcc-tools), BCC Tools Assuming you have Linux Server in place and have the required BPF aka BCC related packages installed on the system(s) for the required Linux distribution. BPF(eBPF) aka BCC Tools (bpfcc-tools) : BPF, which originally stood for Berkley Packet Filter is the dynamic tracing tools for Linux Systems. BPF initially used for the speeding up for the tcpdump expressions and since then it has been know as the extended Berkley packet Filter (eBPF). Its new uses are Tracing Tools where it provides programmability for the BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) and bpftrace front ends . Example: execsnoop, biosnoop etc is a BCC Tool. When facing production performance crisis these such list of tools comes handy to trace and fix the issue. However, it requires certain KERNEL level config options to be enabled such as CONFIG_FTRACE, CONFIG_BPF. Profiling tools typically re...
