Bart’s here for scale modelling the Kuando models, with the Omega on the left sitting next to …
I recently went looking for a script that would compare two “identical” certificates for me and highlight the differences between them. I drew a blank.

Sonus’ “LX” logging app is a fantastic tool, however if the machine you want to install it on doesn’t have internet access you won’t get far. The catch is it needs SQL Server Compact 4.0 and will attempt to download that from the internet:
