Hey guys so I been working on a script that allows users to add any website they want to the whitelist so that they can view that specific flash website on any Windows 8 RT device. Give it a try if you have an RT device. My script will also have an option to copy over the custom whitelist that?s in the script as well. Let me know if you have any questions!

Care to post some screenshots?

Here you go :)

I made it very basic so the average user would not have trouble using it. I choose a script because it requires no install and its under 1 MB in size

if we can get a few users to confirm this works, can put it up on the front page...also, why is the word Adobe in the name of the tool?

For sure, I?ve had a good 5 people tell me it works. Yeah I can change that, I thought it would be a bad idea. I just can't think of a name that makes sense. If I use "Windows RT Flash tool" people will think it?s a firmware flash tool. If you have any suggestions by all means let me know. I can fix it ASAP. Maybe Windows RT Flash player tool?

I was thinking of putting a video together as well.

It works great so far. It does take about 2 minutes for it to add the custom address to the whitelist. That?s just because of the algorithm I used, I started making this tool a few days ago so i'm looking for input. However it works it does the job I've had people test there special tv show websites and stuff and they all said it was working.

Please call it Flash PLAYER tool. I thought it was related to Firmware flashing when I read the title.

I know sorry, I changed the title throughout the whole app. trying to edit the thread right now its not working..

Maybe a mod could change it to Windows RT Whitelist Flash player tool

Two users have said that when selecting any option it says "duplicate files exists or cannot find file" I will have this fixed in the next release I have found the root cause,

however here is a temporary workaround

1. Open the run command and type %temp% and delete anything inside that folder (this will clear your temp directory)

2. Now run the script again and you should not have any issues.

Please report any bugs I will attempt to resolve them ASAP.

Thank you guys for all your support, I will update this thread as soon as the new release is available

Question...

Are you able to create a specific tool that automates this process for a certain site? Or maybe add an option within the current tool?

Many many colleges use a website called MyMathLab or MyLabsPlus to assign homework assignments. This website uses Flash but is not on Microsoft's whitelist (and apparently are in no hurry to do so since I contacted their tech support team to let them know that it's not working for me... they said it would be about 8 months before they started supporting 8/RT).

I was able to get it to work by doing some research and figuring out what sites need to be manually added to the whitelist... it's a list of like 15 sites that the main site references.

I purchased my Surface RT tablet for this very purpose, I wanted to be able to do my math homework from it... but I was disappointed to find out that it didnt work (without me jumping through hoops).

If you're able to do this, I can get the list of sites to you, otherwise it's ok. I appreciate the work you've put into the Whitelist Flash Tool!

Hey what I can do is add thoes 15 sites to the custom list option if you like? since I know a lot of colleges and school use it. :)

*******Also to anyone else if you have a list of websites that are not in the custom list let me know i will add them*********

Sure, I added these sites to my whitelist:


<domain>northlakecollege.edu</domain>
<domain>cengage.com</domain>
<domain>coursecompass.com</domain>
<domain>ecollege.com</domain>
?<domain>mathxl.com</domain>
<domain>myitlab.com</domain>
<domain>mylabsplus.com</domain>
<domain>mymathlab.com</domain>
<domain>mypearson.com</domain>
<domain>pearsoncmg.com</domain>
<domain>pearsoned.com</domain>
<domain>safeassign.com</domain>
<domain>interactmath.com</domain>
[/CODE]

I believe that's all that's needed for it to work. I also had to disable the pop up blocker for each one of those sites, but that's a whole different issue that's not related to the Flash Whitelist tool. The first domain is for my college... so I assume it's not necessarily needed, it's up to you to add it or not.

Edit: Here's a PDF showing instructions and the list of domains from a different college: http://centralaz.edu/Documents/Distance_Learning/Online_Learning/GoogleChromeBrowserSettings.pdf

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
