Cool Tools: Paint.Net

Paint.Net is a nice compromise between advanced picture editing software, and picture editing software usable by humans. The biggest problem I had with paint.net is figuring out how to download it. In what I assume is an attempt to make advertising dollars, this website exists that make it impossible to download Paint.net without accidentally downloading crap.  Here's a direct paint.net download link.

Update here are my usages of Paint.Net:

Paint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. It still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
Some of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.

Finding CLR exceptions without visual studio

(If you want to understand what exception code 0xe0434352 is, read this post ) Often exceptions are thrown and caught and you don't see them. You probably know how to debug this in Visual Studio, so let me show you how to do it in cdb. Sample Code: class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { foreach (var x in Enumerable.Range(0,2000)) { Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)); Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); ThrowAndCatchException(); } } private static void ThrowAndCatchException() { try { throw new NotImplementedException(); } catch(Exception) { } } } Output of the application: Hello World Hello World Hello World Nothing about an exception, but you're sure it's happening behind the covers -- fire up cdb: C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)>cdb -pn consoleapplication3.exe <SNIP> ModLoad: 000007fe`f7e90000 000007fe`f7eb4000 C:\Windows\Mi...

Why do I keep getting exception code e0434352?

If you want to know how to debug CLR exceptions using cdb then read this post . Exception code e0434352 is the exception code used internally by the CLR to represent most exceptions(*). Regardless of if you throw a System.NullReferenceException or a System.ArgumentException in C#, you'll throw a SEH exception e0434352 under the covers. A fun way to validate this theory is to watch what happens to the CLR exceptions settings in cdb. Fire up cdb, and see the state of clr exceptions: 0:000> .shell -ci "sx" findstr clr clr - CLR exception - second-chance break - not handled clrn - CLR notification exception - break - handled .shell: Process exited Now, set the exception handler for exception number e0434352 and recheck the value of the clr exception handler: 0:000> sxe e0434352 0:000> .shell -ci "sx" findstr clr clr - CLR exception - break - not handled clrn - CLR notification exception - break - handled .shell: Process exited Armed with ...

Powershell script to enable windows to capture localhost traffic in wireshark

If you want to understand why the following scripts work read this post . Otherwise just paste the following into an elevated powershell window: Setup windows networking to allow localhost capturing in wireshark: # Find the network configuration that has the default gateway. $defaultAdapter = Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ? {$_.DefaultIPGateway} if (@($defaultAdapter).Length -ne 1) {throw "You don't have 1 default gateway, your network configuration is not supported" } # Route local IP address via the default gateway route add $defaultAdapter.IPAddress[0] $defaultAdapter.DefaultIPGateway Write-Host "Start capturing on localhost by connecting to $($defaultAdapter.IPAddress[0])" Return windows networking to normal configuration: # Find the network configuration that has the default gateway. $defaultAdapter = Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ? {$_.DefaultIPGateway} if (@($defaultAdapter).Length -ne 1) {throw "Y...
