base 64 encoding via c

Posted 07-25-2013 at 09:04 AM by sumeet inani

I came across some anti-virus in windows that detect programs like cmdow , fgdump etc. as threat & quarantine/remove it without asking.

So I wrote this c program that takes a byte from input-binary & writes it to ascii-hex-text-file while encoding .
In decoding takes two alphanumeric characters from input-text & writes it as single char to output-binary.

Compile it in your distro using
gcc program-file-name.c

Here is the code...

There are lots of full length movies (http://www.youtube.com/movies) on youtube . You cannot grab that video as it is drm encrypted . So I decided to use ffmpeg
I took a screenshot of web browser (opera) then opened jpg file in kolourpaint to find out top left & bottom right of video frame in browser . They were found out to be
24,129 & 669,524
which indicated 645x395 video dimension
So , I ran
Code:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 646x396  -r 30 -i :0.0+24,129 -sameq out.mpg
