A few months ago I wrote up an article on using PyTools, Visual Studio, and Python all together. I received some much appreciated positive feedback for it, but really for me it was about exploring. I had dabbled with Python a few years back and hadn't really touched it much since. I spend the bulk of my programming time in Visual Studio, so it was a great opportunity to try and bridge that gap when looking at something like IronPython. I had an individual contact me via the Dev Leader Facebook group that had come across my original article. However, he wanted a little bit more out of it. Since I had my initial exploring out of the way, I figured it was probably worth trying to come up with a semi-useful example. I could get two birds with one…
v6.2 Release: Mobile Forensics Upgrade I like to be able to use these weekly article dumps for little summaries of what's going on in my work life, and I think this is a perfect opportunity to acknowledge our latest product update at Magnet Forensics. We just pushed out v6.2 of Internet Evidence Finder and we're incredibly proud of the work we've done. Like any release we have, we pour our hearts into making sure it's a few big steps forward. We've done our best to listen to customers and work with them to address any bugs, but we're always trying to push the boundaries in our features. Some of the new offerings in v6.2 of Internet Evidence Finder include: Dynamic App Finder: We now offer a solution for recovering mobile chat applications that we may not have otherwise supported. This…
Previously, I was expressing how excited I was when I discovered Python, C#, and Visual Studio integration. I wanted to save a couple examples regarding dynamic code for a follow up article... and here it is! (And yes... there is code you can copy and paste or download). EDIT: Wait! Before you head to far, you might want to check out this more recent article on Python and C#! What does it mean to be dynamic? As with most things, wikipedia provides a great start. Essentially, much of the work done for type checking and signatures is performed at runtime for a dynamic language. This could mean that you can write code that calls a non-existent method and you wont get any compilation errors. However, once execution hits that line of code, you might get an exception thrown. This Stack…
Before we talk about events... Let's consider that there are many different approaches to developing software. In my opinion, the opposite ends of the spectrum end up being: Knowing how the whole system looks, feels, and operates before coding a single line. Having an idea of what the user wants and coding to make it happen. Although I'm generalizing a lot here, it's sort of like the battle between Waterfall and Agile. Okay, great. So what am I rambling on about here? Well, in the first case, you know all the ins and outs of the system. You can structure your system so that almost no matter how complex it is, you can ensure that method A is always run immediately after method B which is etc... The design is completely controlled. You have a spec for how all the…
