In my office, we use RSA "soft token" software to authenticate connections to our UNIX servers. This requires one to enter a PIN, click a button to generate a passcode, then click another button to copy the new passcode to the Windows paster buffer, which can then be pasted into a "password" prompt.
Is there any way to perform these actions programmatically, perhaps from the command prompt? I want to be able to run "batch" programs that connect to the server.
This is a similar question, but not quite.
My guess is the anwser is "no, you can't do that", but I thought I'd ask.
Look at the answer I provided to this SO Question. It essentially involves using SendKeys to simulate keystrokes to the RSA app.

I'm making a new version (of my old Batch program), which is called Encriipt BETA 16.3, that allows you to encript your private folder. It has a register system integrated on the program and I'd like to add a Recovery Mode (so in case you forget your user/password you won't lose everything). I'd like to put a security question or something, but i'm not sure, because if, for an instance, a friend enters and the question is "Where were you born?" or "Which was your primary school?" he will easily answer it and access to all the files, passwords,... Any ideas?
PS: I'm referring to which kind of recovery "things" I could do, not referred to inputs.
Your problem is roughly analogous to Microsoft's Bitlocker, which also encrypts data with a password. Their solution to forgotten passwords is to generate a long recovery key which users need to store securely away from the encrypted machine.
As SomethingDark stated in a comment, a simple security question is a bad idea because it's easier for other people to guess the answer to than the password.

I'm using Cygwin shell to try to establish a TCP connection with a specific IP address.
After typing "ftp 'the ip address'"
I get prompted for the username/password.
When I enter the username and press enter, it prompts me for the password (as I expected).
However, when I input the password and press enter, it just jumps to the next line and acts as if the buffer is still waiting for more input. It keeps doing this, leading me to have to use Ctrl-C to get out of it.
Anyone know any possible issues? This is for a school project. One of the TA's says this is "expected behavior" ... however, I couldn't find anything on the internet about this issue.
You're probably running the ftp command that comes with Windows, which doesn't work correctly in a Cygwin terminal. You can install the inetutils package to get Cygwin's own ftp client.

I have some experience with Amazon's linux instance. But, I need a Windows machine, and I need to manage it with GUI (something like remote desktop or so). Can any body answer me if this is possible and how ?
Yes this is definitely possible, I use it all the time. Just provision a windows instance and then once it is running, right click on it in the EC2 management interface and select "Get Administrator Password".
You will need to specify a private key at launch time, and use that to get the decrypted password.
You can then use any Remote Desktop client to access the machine using this password and the public DNS name.
Windows has Remote Desktop, which allows you to drive through GUI, or else putting on VNC and connect through there.

Can somebody tell me how to protect an application using password.
I mean suppose I start an application (say uTorrent) then I want to provide a password so that nobody can close it or change any thing without password.
Thanks

Use Windows Switch User and let others to use less privilege account. Once you run your programs under your account, others can't access it.
This question belongs to superuser.com
IMHO it is not possible to protect an application (as normal user) in a way that prevents closing (by an administrator).
All other stuff is handled by the windows user system. Just lock your user session...
Or please describe your real problem.

Using remote desktop in full-screen, what is the shortest way to move to another app?
(Without using the mouse, of course. I hate mice).
I currently use one of the following:
ctrl-alt-del, alt-t (get to local machine's taskmgr), alt-tab (move to desired application), or:
ctrl-alt-pause (toggle remote-desktop to a window), alt-tab.
Is there a shorter way?
CTRL-ALT-PAUSE, then you may use ALT-TAB.
Follow Berzerk's advice above to set Alt-Tab to always run on the local computer. Then use Alt-PageUp in the remote computer -- it works like Alt-Tab inside of an RDP session.
