full workflow is Cline + Qwen + ghidra-headless-mcp for static analysis, and Arkana for dynamic analysis, along with this as a Cline rule.

Share a Windows-Only SOCKS Proxy with an Ubuntu VMware Guest

This guide shows how to make a SOCKS5 proxy running on the Windows host available to an Ubuntu virtual machine using VMware NAT.

It is useful when:

The Windows application exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy such as 127.0.0.1:23321.
The Ubuntu guest cannot connect to the Windows host's loopback address.
You only need selected applications in Ubuntu to use the proxy.

Restore a Missing Wi-Fi Tile in Windows 11 Quick Settings

This Gist repairs a Windows 11 Quick Settings panel where the Wi-Fi tile or network list is missing even though the wireless adapter is installed and may already be connected.

The important detail on recent Windows 11 builds is that Quick Settings can be hosted by ShellHost.exe. Restarting only the older ShellExperienceHost.exe may therefore have no effect.

IDM `Permission denied` / `10013` on every HTTPS download: traced root cause and exact fix

This note documents a real case where Internet Download Manager showed:

Permission denied. Please check your firewall settings and ensure that IDM has permits to access the Internet.

This note documents a real case where Internet Download Manager showed:

Cannot transfer the download to IDM

Error 0x80070005

The failure looked like a generic IDM or Chrome integration problem, but the actual root cause was a corrupted per-user COM override in the current Windows profile.

VMware Workstation Ubuntu VM Shows Huge Host Size Even Though Linux Uses Little Space

If your Ubuntu VM says it is using something like 27 GB, but Windows shows the VM folder taking 100+ GB, this is usually not a Linux mystery. It is a VMware virtual disk compaction issue.

Why this happens

VMware growable VMDKs expand when the guest writes data, but they do not automatically shrink when files are deleted inside Linux.

That means:
