Windows PowerShell (x86) Digital Certificate Self Signed



PS C:\Users\oldharry> get-help about_signing
TOPIC
    about_signing

SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Explains to how sign scripts so that they comply with the Windows
    PowerShell execution policies.

LONG DESCRIPTION
    The Restricted execution policy does not permit any scripts to run.
    The AllSigned and RemoteSigned execution policies prevent Windows
    PowerShell from running scripts that do not have a digital signature.

    This topic explains how to run selected scripts that are not signed,
    even while the execution policy is RemoteSigned, and how to sign
    scripts for your own use.

    For more information about Windows PowerShell execution policies,
    see about_Execution_Policy.


 TO PERMIT SIGNED SCRIPTS TO RUN
 -------------------------------
    When you start Windows PowerShell on a computer for the first time, the
    Restricted execution policy (the default) is likely to be in effect.

    The Restricted policy does not permit any scripts to run.

    To find the effective execution policy on your computer, type:

        get-executionpolicy

    To run unsigned scripts that you write on your local computer and signed
    scripts from other users, use the following command to change the execution
    policy on the computer to RemoteSigned:

        set-executionpolicy remotesigned

    For more information, see Set-ExecutionPolicy.


 RUNNING UNSIGNED SCRIPTS (REMOTESIGNED EXECUTION POLICY)
 --------------------------------------------------------
    If your Windows PowerShell execution policy is RemoteSigned, Windows
    PowerShell will not run unsigned scripts that are downloaded from the
    Internet, including unsigned scripts you receive through e-mail and instant
    messaging programs.

    If you try to run a downloaded script, Windows PowerShell displays the
    following error message:

        The file <file-name> cannot be loaded. The file
        <file-name> is not digitally signed. The script
        will not execute on the system. Please see "Get-Help
        about_signing" for more details.

    Before you run the script, review the code to be sure that you trust it.
    Scripts have the same effect as any executable program.

    To run an unsigned script:

        1. Save the script file on your computer.
        2. Click Start, click My Computer, and locate the saved script file.
        3. Right-click the script file, and then click Properties.
        4. Click Unblock.

    If a script that was downloaded from the Internet is digitally signed, but
    you have not yet chosen to trust its publisher, Windows PowerShell displays
    the following message:

        Do you want to run software from this untrusted publisher?
        The file <file-name> is published by CN=<publisher-name>. This
        publisher is not trusted on your system. Only run scripts
        from trusted publishers.

        [V] Never run  [D] Do not run  [R] Run once  [A] Always run
        [?] Help (default is "D"):

        If you trust the publisher, select "Run once" or "Always run."
        If you do not trust the publisher, select either "Never run" or
        "Do not run." If you select "Never run" or "Always run," Windows
        PowerShell will not prompt you again for this publisher.


 METHODS OF SIGNING SCRIPTS
 --------------------------
    You can sign the scripts that you write and the scripts that you obtain
    from other sources. Before you sign any script, examine each command
    to verify that it is safe to run.

    For best practices about code signing, see "Code-Signing
    Best Practices" at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=119096.

    For more information about how to sign a script file, see
    Set-AuthenticodeSignature.

    To add a digital signature to a script, you must sign it with a code
    signing certificate. Two types of certificates are suitable for signing
    a script file:

        -- Certificates that are created by a certification authority:

           For a fee, a public certificate authority verifies your
           identity and gives you a code signing certificate.  When
           you purchase your certificate from a reputable certification
           authority, you are able to share your script with users
           on other computers that are running Windows because those other
           computers trust the certification authority.

        -- Certificates that you create:

           You can create a self-signed certificate for which
           your computer is the authority that creates the certificate.
           This certificate is free of charge and enables you to write,
           sign, and run scripts on your computer. However, a script
           signed by a self-signed certificate will not run on other
           computers.

    Typically, you would use a self-signed certificate only to sign
    scripts that you write for your own use and to sign scripts that you get
    from other sources that you have verified to be safe. It is not
    appropriate for scripts that will be shared, even within an enterprise.

    If you create a self-signed certificate, be sure to enable strong
    private key protection on your certificate. This prevents malicious
    programs from signing scripts on your behalf. The instructions are
    included at the end of this topic.


 CREATE A SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE
 --------------------------------
    To create a self-signed certificate, use the Certificate Creation
    tool (MakeCert.exe). This  tool is included in the Microsoft .NET Framework
    SDK (versions 1.1 and later) and in the Microsoft Windows SDK.

    For more information about the syntax and the parameter descriptions of the
    MakeCert.exe tool, see "Certificate Creation Tool (MakeCert.exe)" in the
    MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) library at
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=119097.

    To use the MakeCert.exe tool to create a certificate, run the following
    commands in an SDK Command Prompt window.

    Note: The first command creates a local certification authority for
          your computer. The second command generates a personal
          certificate from the certification authority.

    Note: You can copy or type the commands exactly as they appear.
          No substitutions are necessary, although you can change the
          certificate name.

            makecert -n "CN=PowerShell Local Certificate Root" -a sha1 `
                -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -r -sv root.pvk root.cer `
                -ss Root -sr localMachine

            makecert -pe -n "CN=PowerShell User" -ss MY -a sha1 `
                -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -iv root.pvk -ic root.cer


    The MakeCert.exe tool will prompt you for a private key password. The
    password ensures that no one can use or access the certificate without
    your consent. Create and enter a password that you can remember. You will
    use this password later to retrieve the certificate.

    To verify that the certificate was generated correctly, use the
    following command to get the certificate in the certificate
    store on the computer. (You will not find a certificate file in the
    file system directory.)

    At the Windows PowerShell prompt, type:

            get-childitem cert:\CurrentUser\my -codesigning

    This command uses the Windows PowerShell Certificate provider to view
    information about the certificate.

    If the certificate was created, the output shows the thumbprint
    that identifies the certificate in a display that resembles the following:


        Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::CurrentUser\My

        Thumbprint                                Subject
        ----------                                -------
        4D4917CB140714BA5B81B96E0B18AAF2C4564FDF  CN=PowerShell User ]


 SIGN A SCRIPT
 -------------

    After you create a self-signed certificate, you can sign scripts. If you
    use the AllSigned execution policy, signing a script permits you to run
    the script on your computer.

    The following sample script, Add-Signature.ps1, signs a script. However,
    if you are using the AllSigned execution policy, you must sign the
    Add-Signature.ps1 script before you run it.

    To use this script, copy the following text into a text file, and
    name it Add-Signature.ps1.

    Note: Be sure that the script file does not have a .txt file name
          extension. If your text editor appends ".txt", enclose the file name
          in quotation marks: "add-signature.ps1".


            ## add-signature.ps1
            ## Signs a file
            param([string] $file=$(throw "Please specify a filename."))
            $cert = @(Get-ChildItem cert:\CurrentUser\My -codesigning)[0]
            Set-AuthenticodeSignature $file $cert


    To sign the Add-Signature.ps1 script file, type the following commands at
    the Windows PowerShell command prompt:

        $cert = @(Get-ChildItem cert:\CurrentUser\My -codesigning)[0]

        Set-AuthenticodeSignature add-signature.ps1 $cert


    After the script is signed, you can run it on the local computer.
    However, the script will not run on computers on which the Windows
    PowerShell execution policy requires a digital signature from a
    trusted authority. If you try, Windows PowerShell displays the following
    error message:

        The file C:\remote_file.ps1 cannot be loaded. The signature of the
        certificate cannot be verified.
        At line:1 char:15
        + .\ remote_file.ps1 <<<<

    If Windows PowerShell displays this message when you run a
    script that you did not write, treat the file as you would treat any
    unsigned script. Review the code to determine whether you can trust the
    script.


 ENABLE STRONG PRIVATE KEY PROTECTION FOR YOUR CERTIFICATE
 ---------------------------------------------------------

    If you have a private certificate on your computer, malicious
    programs might be able to sign scripts on your behalf, which
    authorizes Windows PowerShell to run them.

    To prevent automated signing on your behalf, use Certificate
    Manager (Certmgr.exe) to export your signing certificate to
    a .pfx file. Certificate Manager is included in the Microsoft
    .NET Framework SDK, the Microsoft Windows SDK, and in Internet
    Explorer 5.0 and later versions.

    To export the certificate:

        1. Start Certificate Manager.

        2. Select the certificate issued by PowerShell Local Certificate Root.

        3. Click Export to start the Certificate Export Wizard.

        4. Select "Yes, export the private key", and then click Next.

        5. Select "Enable strong protection."

        6. Type a password, and then type it again to confirm.

        7. Type a file name that has the .pfx file name extension.

        8. Click Finish.


    To re-import the certificate:

        1. Start Certificate Manager.

        2. Click Import to start the Certificate Import Wizard.

        3. Open to the location of the .pfx file that you created during the
           export process.

        4. On the Password page, select "Enable strong private key protection",
           and then enter the password that you assigned during the export
           process.

        5. Select the Personal certificate store.

        6. Click Finish.



 PREVENT THE SIGNATURE FROM EXPIRING
 -----------------------------------
     The digital signature in a script is valid until the signing certificate
     expires or as long as a time stamp server can verify that the script was
     signed while the signing certificate was valid.

     Because most signing certificates are valid for one year only, using a
     time stamp server ensures that users can use your script for many years
     to come.

Microsoft Instructions on Changing GUID Partitioned Table to an MBR Table

To change a GUID partition table disk into a master boot record disk using command line

Solution: SSL Error Citrix Receiver - Error 61 - You have not chosen to trust "/C=US/ST=/L=/0=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).

====================================

Solution.

1. Visit the GeoTrust Certificate Authority Web Site.  Here is the URL of the exact page you need to visit: http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/index.html

2. Near the top of the page, there are two links to verify Equifax's certificate. Right click the lower of the two links. Chose 'save' from the context sensitive menu that you'll see upon right clicking the lower of the two URLs associated with Equifax. You want the 'der' encoded x.509 certificate.

3. Rename the .cer to .crt.

4. As root copy the file from its saved download location to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

** Step 4. In a console, bash shell, navigate to the folder that contains the saved/downloaded certificate: type sudo cp Equifax_* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

5. You're done and now should be able to open your ".ica" files

Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery

http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html
Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
The Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, which can boot into a minimal BIOS environment via a special boot block to re-flash the BIOS, even if the system does not pass POST and does otherwise not boot anymore. This procedure is also known as Crisis Disk.

First format an USB flash drive with FAT. It does not need to be bootable.

Download the latest BIOS, and extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.

Turn the AA1 off, and verify both battery and AC adapter are plugged in.

Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The AA1 will now access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS. After a while the power button stops blinking, and the AA1 reboots by itself. Wait patiently.

If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.
