Hi, I have a byte[] and I'm trying to get out 1-2 bytes depending on whether it's 8bit or 16bit and to convert this to a short value. I'm not really sure how to do this as obviously I can't just add the bytes together, and I need to make sure that I know whether it is positive/negative (and little/big endian).
Can anybody explain how to do this?
edit: I am presuming that you can get out the first byte and shift it left by 8, and then add it to the other byte. But then how do I know whether the two bytes are positive or negative.
This surely must be a rather standard problem, so I wonder if there is any sample code anywhere that I can look at?
Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen
Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases.
When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap.
Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same.
It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes:
From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
“In other news about OneDrive frustration, Microsoft recently locked out a user who was attempting to move a bunch of important data from old hard drives to OneDrive.” - It was probably CSMA..
