SecurityLeave a comment

We have been working on a bunch of Backtrack 4 articles recently and one that I started writing awhile back but never finished was on Dmitry or the Deepmagic Information Gathering Tool.

One of the things that always gets on my nerves about scanning in documents on most scanners is that by default it opens Microsoft Paint which is the worst application for image editing. Below are directions on how to modify the default application for scanning in images on the MFC-5980CN printer from MS Paint to Photoshop.
