GPG Keys getting deleted automatically - talend

I am using the following steps to import keys into GPG
Open prompt and fire import KEY command
Fire --edit-key KEY_NAME
Type trust and type 5 save
Place gpg.conf file at %APPDATA%/Roaming/gnupg and it only has one word ''batch'
I have two keys
PUBLIC KEY - Used for encrypting files
PUBLIC_PRiVATE KEY PAIR - Used for decrypting files. The public part we use for encrypting files for QA.
We have three talend jobs - two of them use second key above for decrypting files and one uses first key for encrypting.
The jobs run at a frequency of 15 minutes.
The problem I am facing is that the keys along with gpg.conf file get deleted almost after 24 hours and sometimes randomly. I could neither find public key nor key-pair, the gpg.conf also gets deleted.
I would be really grateful if someone can help me here.
Thanks in advance

it is better to use tSystem component with commons line argument supported by GPG provider. i have tried for huge file processing and it is working fine, even you can set temp path and get the decrypted file path using variables.

How to repair Unity registry on Windows 10?

I use PlayerPrefs to save some user data. I know that on Windows the data is actually saved in the registry under the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Unity\companyname key.
It used to be like this:
Unity
|--BugReporterV2
|--UnityEditor
|--companyname
|--some other things that I don't remember, maybe the project name then some detailed values
|--WebPlayer
I was intended to set all PlayerPrefs to default, so I deleted the whole key of companyname - stupidly without backup. Then in testing, I found that when calling
PlayerPrefs.SetString("testKey", "test");
it raised an exception
PlayerPrefsException: Could not store preference value
How can I repair the structure of the registry?
Can someone show me how the registry saved data with PlayerPrefs looks like under the "Unity" key with each keys and values please? Maybe I could fixed it manually.
Thank you!
I tried reinstall unity, and the registry is fixed. The origininal clean registry looks like this:
Unity
|--BugReporterV2
|--UnityEditor
|--WebPlayer
|--companyname
|--Project Name with Space
|--unity.cloud_userid_xxxxxx // value is quite complicated
|--UnityGraphicsQuality_xxxxxx // value is 5
The xxxxxx is something special for windows 10 that I'm not familiar with. Seems each key is followed by such a string that looks random to me. For anyone encountered similar issue, I think you can try creat the companyname and project name key. If the other keys are not created automatically after you run the project, then you could try reinstall unity.

Automatically download emails from Outlook with SAS or Outlook rule

I am trying to create a program to automatically download the attached files that are sent to us from a certain email and then transform the delimiter with SAS, of those csv that are attached to us and pass those csv through a flow that I have already created.
I have managed to create a program that treats the csv as I want and the delimiter that I want, the problem is that when it comes to automating the download of files from Outlook it does not work.
What I have done is create a rule with the following VB code that I found on the internet:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDisk(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\ES010246\Desktop"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub
I have changed the path to my personal path where i want the files are downloaded.
website: https://es.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/3747-outlook
The problem is that this code does not work for me, it does absolutely nothing for me and no matter how much I search the internet, only this code appears.
Is there any other way to do with SAS what I want? What is it to automatically download 8 csv files sent to me by Outlook, or has someone experienced the same thing as me with VBA?
I have followed all the steps about 7 times so I think the error is not in copying the code or selecting certain options wrong, in fact I had copied and pasted the code and later I modified the path where I wanted those to be saved. files but it doesn't work, does anyone know why?
I will be tremendously grateful, thank you very much for everything!
First of all, you need to make sure the file name and path doesn't include forbidden symbols.
The VBA macro used for a rule in Outlook is absolutely valid except that a mail item may contain the attached files with the same name, so a file saved to the disk may be overwritten (saved with the same name). That's why I'd suggest generating a file name with your own unique IDs making sure that DisplayName property is not empty and has a valid name what can be used for file names (exclude forbidden symbols).
Also you may consider handling the NewMailEx event of the Application class which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. Use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection string to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem.
The Items.ItemAdd event can be helpful when items are moved to a folder (from Inbox). This event does not run when a large number of items are added to the folder at once.

recover lost gpg password

I found my old .gnupg directory in a backup and want to use it again. Unfortunately I have lost my password but I have some ideas of what the password was. I have not much understanding of gpg and pgp, however I know the basics of asymmetric cryptography.
My challenge now is to recover that key/password that I might be able to guess by some structure that I recall. So I will need to use some permutation engine that assembles various pieces of that password and checks if it is correct. I could write a script that does but I also could use john the ripper with gpg2john. Trying to figure out which way to go I face some obstacles:
My .gnupg directory is from 2005, created on a Sun system at that time. The directory contains a pubring.gpg and the newer format pubring.gpx. A subdirectory private-keys-v1.d contains 5 .key files.
Trying john first I seem to provide the wrong input.
gpg2john ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
File ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
can't find PGP armor boundary.
gpg2john ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg\~
<lots of different messages like>
Hash material(5 bytes):
Sub: image attribute(sub 1) Image encoding - JPEG(enc 1)
Reason - No reason specified
lots of other stuff
Error: No hash was generated for ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg~, ensure that the input file contains a single private key only
How can I generate a file that gpg2john expects as input?
All approaches of mine to extract the private key failed because I need the key for that process, which I want to recover ...
For the manual approach I would need a way to test if my password is correct. What is the easiest approach here? I am a bit confused because I have 5 .key files. Which one is my private key?
gpg --list-keys | grep "My Name" gives me back 3 entries different from the key names in private-keys-v1.d. The keys are labeled [ultimate], [expired], and [revoked].
Whenever I ask gpg to do anything like gpg --export-secret-keys ID > exportedPrivateKey.asc I am getting 2 messageboxes asking for a passphrase for 2 keys. These Ids are found in private-keys-v1.d.
How can I make gpg ask me only for the password of the [ultimate] key?
(In this article for me a certificate is the private-public-key tripplet that gpg is using. I might be unclear in what I say for anyone really understanding the concept:)
Ps: I am not sure if the password that I might re-construct belongs to the revoked certificate. If so, can I unlock the private key of the revoked certificate? Can I generate a new certificated based on the revoked one? (I guess not because otherwise revoking does not have any positive security effect). What do I win by getting back the password to a revoked certificate?
I personally believe, that gpg2john needs asc file and your approach to export it using gpg --export-secret-keys ID > exportedPrivateKey.asc is right. Problem, that you does not succeed is perhaps in this change: https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/pull/1182/files
They "disabled" exporting private key with passphrase without entering given passphrase. It is not photographically needed for such operation, but due discussion in issue https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/issues/194 it has been implemented.
I suggest you to export given key using custom compiled version of gpg with given commits reverted.
I'm not sure if I missed something, but have you simply tried making a backup of the keyring (copy the whole .gnupg folder to be safe) and then deleting keys from it until only the desired one is left? I can't promise that this will work, I always used john with --armor-exported keys.
By the way, the filenames that you see in the private-keys-v1.d subfolder are the keygrip and don't match your key IDs.
You can match keys to their keygrip by using the --with-keygrip parameter (e.g., gpg --with-keygrip --list-secret-keys).
PS: You may find this tutorial helpful — https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide — while it's written for YubiKey users, it has many advanced concepts that are relevant in general.

Unable to run experiment on Azure ML Studio after copying from different workspace

My simple experiment reads from an Azure Storage Table, Selects a few columns and writes to another Azure Storage Table. This experiment runs fine on the Workspace (Let's call it workspace1).
Now I need to move this experiment as is to another workspace(Call it WorkSpace2) using Powershell and need to be able to run the experiment.
I am currently using this Library - https://github.com/hning86/azuremlps
Problem :
When I Copy the experiment using 'Copy-AmlExperiment' from WorkSpace 1 to WorkSpace 2, the experiment and all it's properties get copied except the Azure Table Account Key.
Now, this experiment runs fine if I manually enter the account Key for the Import/Export Modules on studio.azureml.net
But I am unable to perform this via powershell. If I Export(Export-AmlExperimentGraph) the copied experiment from WorkSpace2 as a JSON and insert the AccountKey into the JSON file and Import(Import-AmlExperiment) it into WorkSpace 2. The experiment fails to run.
On PowerShell I get an "Internal Server Error : 500".
While running on studio.azureml.net, I get the notification as "Your experiment cannot be run because it has been updated in another session. Please re-open this experiment to see the latest version."
Is there anyway to move an experiment with external dependencies to another workspace and run it?
Edit : I think the problem is something to do with how the experiment handles the AccountKey. When I enter it manually, it's converted into a JSON array comprising of RecordKey and IndexInRecord. But when I upload the JSON experiment with the accountKey, it continues to remain the same and does not get resolved into RecordKey and IndexInRecord.
For me publishing the experiment as a private experiment for the cortana gallery is one of the most useful options. Only the people with the link can see and add the experiment for the gallery. On the below link I've explained the steps I followed.
https://naadispeaks.wordpress.com/2017/08/14/copying-migrating-azureml-experiments/
When the experiment is copied, the pwd is wiped for security reasons. If you want to programmatically inject it back, you have to set another metadata field to signal that this is a plain-text password, not an encrypted password that you are setting. If you export the experiment in JSON format, you can easily figure this out.
I think I found the issue why you are unable to export the credentials back.
Export the JSON graph into your local disk, then update whatever parameter has to be updated.
Also, you will notice that the credentials are stored as 'Placeholders' instead of 'Literals'. Hence it makes sense to change them to Literals instead of placeholders.
This you can do by traversing through the JSON to find the relevant parameters you need to update.
Here is a brief illustration.
Changing the Placeholder to a Literal:

Why would LayoutObjectNames return an empty string in FileMaker 14?

I'm seeing some very strange behavior with FileMaker 14. I'm using LayoutObjectNames for some required functionality. On the development system it's working fine. It returns the list of named objects on the layout.
I close the file, zip it up and send it to the client, and that required functionality isn't working. He sends the file back and I open it and get a data viewer up. The function returns nothing. I go into layout mode and confirm that there are named objects on the layout.
The first time this happened and I tried recovering the file. In the recovered file it worked, so I assumed some corruption had happened on his end. I told him to trash the file I had given him and work with a new version I supplied. The problem came up again.
This morning he sent me the oldest version that the problem manifested in. I confirmed the problem, tried recovering it again, but this time it didn't fix the problem.
I'm at a loss. It works in the version I send him, doesn't on his system. We're both using FileMaker 14, although I'm using Advanced. My next step will be to work from a served file instead of a local one, but I have never seen this type of behavior in FileMaker. Has anyone seen anything similar? Any ideas on a fix? I'm almost ready to just scrap the file and build it again from scratch since we're not too far into the project.
Thanks, Chuck
There is a known issue with the Get (FileName) function when the file name contains dots (other that the one before the extension). I will amend my answer later with more details and a possible solution (I have to look it up).
Here's a quote from 2008:
This is a known issue. It affects not only the ValueListItems()
function, but any function that requires the file name. The solution
is to include the file extension explicitly in the file name. This
works even if you use Get (FileName) to return the file name
dynamically:
ValueListItems ( Get ( FileName ) & ".fp7" ; "MyValueList" )
Of course, this is not required if you take care not to use period
when naming your files.

Apparently the issue is still with us - I wonder if the solution is still the same (I cannot test this at the moment).
