Creating a Github account for particular project/client

Suppose you are working in CompanyX and you have got project from CompanyY to work upon. Alternatively, it means CompanyY have outsourced a project to CompanyX.

Usually in these scenarios, CompanyY asks the CompanyX's team to create new GitHub accounts specifically dedicated to this project.

So in that case, it would be best practice to create accounts with common prefix which represents the CompanyY in some sense, where you may use short-form of project or CompanyY name, e.g., comy. The other part should represent the team members' name but should hide the identity of that person as well.

For this you may follow the steps given below for creating an account on Github, that would be dedicated to CompanyY

  1. Go to https://github.com/.
  2. Register an account with the user-id, specifically made for CompanyY
    1. User id should be comy-< first 2 characters of your firstname >< first 2 characters of your lastname >. e.g.,
      1. Peter Parker ⟶ comy-pepa
      2. Tony Stark ⟶ comy-tost
    2. Remember that you need to register the account with email address associated with your CompanyY account, in case you don't have it then you may use your CompanyX email address but as soon as you'll get the CompanyY account, replace it.
  3. Then, go to https://github.com/sampleapps/ .
  4. Look for the required project, clone it at your system using Git command-line or Sourcetree app.
  5. After cloning the repository, you may begin to contribute but make sure with Admin whether you have necessary permissions.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

JS: The complete code example of Crypto.js (DES)

For one of the project I was trying to use crypto.js but I found that the Quick-start Guide have some deficiency in terms of library usage. So I am writing it here as a useful note for memory recap. <script src="http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/tripledes.js"></script> <script> var encrypted = CryptoJS.DES.encrypt("The secret message", "secret_key"); var e_msg = encrypted.toString(); console.log(e_msg); var decrypted = CryptoJS.DES.decrypt(e_msg, "secret_key"); var d_msg = decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8); console.log(d_msg); </script>
