How To Make Program to Corrupt File (Java)

Sometime we intentionally want our file to be corrupted e.g. to test software reliability. So, I made a program in Java that intentionally corrupt file. Please be careful to use this program as this program will make your file corrupt and cannot be reverted. Please backup your file before making it corrupt.

OK, the logic is very simple. For each byte in the file, I simply put any random character (ASCII character is from 0 to 255). Here is the complete Java program:

import java.io.RandomAccessFile;
import java.util.Random;

/**
 *
 * @author arwankhoiruddin
 */
public class CorruptFile {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        String FILEPATH = args[0];

        System.out.println("File to corrupt: " + FILEPATH);
        System.out.println("File corruption process started");
     
        try {
            RandomAccessFile file = new RandomAccessFile(FILEPATH, "rw");
            Random r = new Random();
            for (int i=0; i                
                String dt = "" + (char) r.nextInt(255);
                file.seek(i);
                file.write(dt.getBytes());
            }
            file.close();
         
            System.out.println("File " + FILEPATH + " has now been corrupted. Enjoy!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

Find JIRA issues mentioned in Confluence Page

I have been walking through a lot of pages in internet but have not found any answer except one. However, the answer is not complete, so I will share my experience here. This feature is very useful, especially to summarize the issues found during certain tests, where the tests are reported in a confluence page. I found that there are so many questions about this, but Atlassian seems does not want to bother with this request. I found one way to do this by the following tricks Take one JIRA issue that related to the target confluence page (in this case, say it is GET-895) Find the global ID of a JIRA issue: http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink It will show the JSON like this: [{"id":28293,"self":"http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink/28293","globalId":"appId=662e1ccf-94da-3121-96ae-053d90587b29&pageId=105485659","application":{...

If and For in Wolfram Mathematica (with examples)

IF Condition in Wolfram Mathematica The syntax is as follows xxxxxxxxxx If [ condition , what to do if true , what to do if false ] Some examples Example 1. Simple command x x = - 3 ; If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] 3 Example 2. If condition in a function abs [ x_ ] := If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] abs /@ { - 3 , 2 , 0 , - 2 } { 3 , 2 , 0 , 2 }   For in Wolfram Mathematica The syntax is as follows For [ start , test , inc , what to do ] Some examples Example 1. Simple Loop xxxxxxxxxx For [ i = 0 , i < 4 , i ++, Print [ i ]] 0 1 2 3 Example 2. Another simple loop For [ i = 10 , i > 0 , i --, Print [ i ]] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Example 3. Print list a = { 10 , 3 , 9 , 2 } For [ i = 1 , i < 5 , i ++, Print [ a [[ i ]]]] 10 3 9 2  

Akte, paspor, dan visa untuk anak Indonesia yang lahir di Malaysia

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya urusan administrasi kenegaraan-nya Marwa sudah hampir selesai. Kemarin sore, di paspor marwa sudah ada visa pelancong selama 30 hari, tinggal nunggu proses di Putrajaya selama 7 hari untuk mendapatkan Multiple Entry-nya. Selepas itu, selesai.... Di dalam tulisan ini, saya pengen sedikit cerita pengalaman saya mengurus administrasi untuk anak Indonesia yang lahir di Malaysia (saya tidak tahu apakah untuk di negara lain prosedurnya juga sama). #1. Administrasi di klinik terdekat (sebelum melahirkan) Sebelum istri melahirkan, istri disarankan untuk mendaftar dan memeriksakan kandungannya secara rutin di klinik terdekat (meskipun hanya klinik, tapi fasilitas pemeriksaan dan labnya cukup lengkap dan canggih). Pada fase ini, istri akan diberi buku pemeriksaan. Buku ini penting untuk mengetahui kondisi si ibu, dan perkembangan janin. Buku ini akan diisi oleh dokter atau perawat yang memeriksa kandungan. #2. Administrasi setelah melahirkan Di klinik biasanya tid...
