[[File:Package Manager.jpg|thumb|The Package Manager program.]]
The package manager is Windows 96's primary method of distribution for programs. The term "package" refers to a complex set of folders and files, which when coupled with a JSON file and structured correctly, can be decoded by the package manager program and unpacked into the Windows 96 filesystem.

==Functioning ==
Packages are hosted on a webserver, where the root URL of the package folder is then set as a package repository in the package manager. Packages can be hosted on any static website host (i.e. Github Pages), and comprise of a set of 16x16 and 32x32 pixel icon files, as well as a "content@1.0" directories/zips and a JSON file which sets the folders and icons as variables.[[File:Pkgman-structure.png|The package manager file structure.|thumb]]
==Package structure==
During the creation of a package repository, the package manager must be able to decode the structure of the package to be able to successfully unpack any files or folders inside. The file sctructure can be found on the right.

==Community==
Packages are created by the community to share their work to other users. Packages may contain applications, programs, tools, themes, or wallpapers. Here are some repositories created by the community:

Hey guys! It’s themirrazz here! I’m a 15-year-old programmer, YouTuber, crazy error maker and Sonic fan - literally ''obsessed'' with Tails!

Website - https://themirrazz.vercel.app/<nowiki/>(日本語：[https://themirrazzjp.vercel.app/ https://themirrazzjp.vercel.app]). YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themirrazz

Thank you!

(I'm learning Japanese, so if you see any page that's half-English and half-Japanese, I'm probably in the process of translating existing pages. I believe this could help expand Windows 96 to more parts of the world. Don't worry - I'll always leave original pages intact 😉)

[ text below kept for archival purposes ]

themirrazz (aka me) is someone who created Windows 96 apps (keyword: created), and not all of them got good reception from the rest of the Windows 96 community. Long story short, there was some drama about Windows 96 automatically claiming people's IP address in a game called [[Ipv4.Party]], and then the purge of the Discord server, some drama about that plus the Ipv4.Party thing, which included me getting banned from the Windows 96 Discord server and then creating a short-lived campaign that lasted for probably little over a week called [[takebackipv4games|#TakeBackIPv4Games]], and that's where we are right now.
Ever since, I've been kind of inactive in the Windows 96 community, and only joined once on an alt to share my Brave Sync Code (for starting the world's largest Brave Sync Chain - that also kinda died out after nobody joined it). However, I've recently been doing lots of P3-related projects on my alt GitHub account, including [https://github.com/themirrazzalt/p3protocol documenting the entire "P3 protocol"]. I am now working on being a little more active - and less stupid - in the Windows 96 community, and I'm starting off by adding and editing some wiki pages to help people that are new to the community.
And dear everyone, I'm sorry for being stupid, and starting a stupid campaign just because Windows 96 auto-claims your IP address, and basically spamming status updates in the Discord server.

LSDB Malware

2023-01-25T21:50:53Z

Themirrazz:

The LSDB Malware was a malware developed that infected [[localStorageDB]]. It overwrote the functions to hide itself from the user, and to an extent, antivirus programs. LSDB Malware would then slow down your file system, causing your installation to get slower. It would then infect other boot scripts, and cache the original content of the script, causing your system to get slower on each reboot until it was virtually unusable. Note that users could get rid of this malware by booting into recovery mode.

This malware only affected v2sp2 (though I am going to try and port it to V3 for PoC and testing).

NoTRON Antivirus is an antivirus that has been included in Windows 96 since the release of [[Windows 96 v2|v2]]. However, it was only until the release of [[Windows 96 v3|v3]] that it was able to detect actual viruses. NoTRON pulls a list of viruses from Windows 96's servers. This allows it to compare your files and identify files that could potentially harm your installation. Note that some viruses have the ability to hide from NoTRON by modifying the file system entries. An example of this kind of malware is the [[LSDB Malware]]. If you suspect you have this kind of malware installed on your system, you might want to try booting with startup scripts disabled, or using an antivirus with the ability to find hidden files.

P3

2023-01-25T21:08:41Z

Themirrazz:

P3, also known as '''Psuedo Peer-to-Peer''' or '''PPP''', is a protocol developed by utf#7185 for simulating P2P connections on Windows 96. The official relay server, which is hosted on <nowiki>https://p3.windows96.net</nowiki>, broke in August 2022, but as of January 2023 is up and running again. P3 was first seen in [[Windows 96 v2|Windows 96 v2sp2]], and continues to remain. During the development of [[Windows 96 v3|v3]], a replacement for P3 called '''Bell''' was created, but never finished in time, so v3 shipped with P3 instead.

P3 works by contacting a relay server to give you a static or dynamic address. When you have a P3 address, you can either host a P3 server, or connect to one. Each P3 address has different "ports" to listen on, to allow one P3 address to run multiple servers. Some common ports are 121, the default [[SuperTerm]] port; 140, the port used for [[Remote Console]], and 737, which is used for connecting to a [[P3FS]]. The discovery feature of P3 allows you to broadcast open ports via flags that you can search for. This allows people to search for publicly available services and easily connect to them.

P3 contacts a relay server through SocketIO, a popular library for WebSockets. Connections to the P3 network are initiated by sending a '''hello''' message to the relay server, along with your P3 key. I (themirrazz) have documented the P3 protocol on my alt GitHub account at [https://github.com/themirrazzalt/p3protocol themirrazzalt/p3protocol], you can learn more about the interior of P3's protocol there. On [[Windows 96 v2|v2sp2]], you can obtain a custom address if you have a [[Windows 96 Product Key]] that you have activated your installation with.

== Third-Party/Unofficial P3 Libraries ==
The only current third-party P3 library that I know of that exists is my [https://www.npmjs.com/package/mikesoftp3 mikesoftp3 NodeJS library], but if you know of any others, don't be afraid to add them to this page and submit an issue on my GitHub.

Themirrazz (aka me) is someone who created Windows 96 apps (keyword: created), and not all of them got good reception from the rest of the Windows 96 community. Long story short, there was some drama about Windows 96 automatically claiming people's IP address in a game called [[Ipv4.Party]], and then the purge of the Discord server, some drama about that plus the Ipv4.Party thing, which included me getting banned from the Windows 96 Discord server and then creating a short-lived campaign that lasted for probably little over a week called [[takebackipv4games|#TakeBackIPv4Games]], and that's where we are right now.
Ever since, I've been kind of inactive in the Windows 96 community, and only joined once on an alt to share my Brave Sync Code (for starting the world's largest Brave Sync Chain - that also kinda died out after nobody joined it). However, I've recently been doing lots of P3-related projects on my alt GitHub account, including [https://github.com/themirrazzalt/p3protocol documenting the entire "P3 protocol"]. I am now working on being a little more active - and less stupid - in the Windows 96 community, and I'm starting off by adding and editing some wiki pages to help people that are new to the community.
And dear everyone, I'm sorry for being stupid, and starting a stupid campaign just because Windows 96 auto-claims your IP address, and basically spamming status updates in the Discord server.

Start by opening up the System Config Manager (SCM).

You can open it either by going to Start Menu > Programs > System > System Config Manager, or entering <code>scm</code> into the run box.

If you don't see the InternetE folder, it means you probably haven't used InternetE and need to open the InternetE in order for the folder to appear.

''Note: If you don't see the Software folder, reboot Windows96. If it still doesn't show up, you may need to reinstall Windows96''

Once in the InternetE folder, double-click the "searchEngine" entry.

Delete the text in the <code>JSON Value</code> box, and put a pair of quotation marks. You can now put the URL to your favorite search engine.
To determine where the search query will go, put <code>%SEARCH_QUERY%</code>

The system log is a feature in [[Windows 96 v3]] that allows you to see important information from the system. It is stored in the RAM of Windows 96, and can be edited through a special API.

=== w96.sys.log.events ===

An array of objects that are formatted in what I'm calling the SLogEvent format.

=== w96.sys.log.limits ===
An object with one property, <code>eventCount</code> that sets limits for the event log.

=== w96.sys.log.limits.eventCount ===
The amount of events that can be stored in system log.
When initiated, it is set to 1000.

=== SLogEvent Format ===
This format is an object representing an event.
An example object looks like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
{
date: "Fri, 05 Aug 2022 18:28:00 GMT",
message: "Something happened, you'll never guess what!",
severity: "info",
source: "behind you lol"
}
</syntaxhighlight>

date: A stringified version of a <code>Date</code> version, but can also be milliseconds since UNIX epoch.
message: The message of the event.
severity: What icon and level label to show. Can either be <code>info</code>, <code>warning</code>, or <code>error</code>.
source: What part of the system is sending the message. For example, when ever a disk is mounted to the filesystem, the log's source is labeled "FS Service".

=== w96.sys.events.silenced ===
True if the "Disable system event log" flag is enabled, basically like the do-not-track of System Log.
However, non-built-in services can still use the log freely, and may completely ignore this.

author: The name of the person who created the wallpaper

url: The web page the wallpaper is located at

properties: An empty object, unknown what it is for.

== Known Glitches ==

Dynamic Wallpaper also uses iFrames to display content (just like Internet Exploder).

Most browsers allow javascript: URLs to run inside an iFrame. When javascript: URLs are run in an iFrame, they are treated as same-origin (just like about:blank). This means users can get infected with malware from applying DWPs or even just previewing them. The JavaScript code could also show an actual wallpaper while secretly corrupting files, adding boot scripts, replacing the shell, adding a custom kernel, and running other malicious processes.

DeskMeter was an app introduced with the release of [[Windows 96 v0.2]]. It allowed you to add decorations to the desktop.

Each decoration was draggable by default, but not resizable.
When right-clicking on a decoration, a context menu would appear with 5 items:

Send to Front - makes the decoration go above all other decorations.

Send to Back - makes the decoration go behind all other decorations.

Toggle Movable - toggles whether you can drag the decoration.

Toggle Resizable - toggles whether you can change the decoration's size.

Delete Object - Deletes the decoration.

The decorations you could add to the desktop were the Assistant icon, the Pumpkin World pumpkin, an Error icon, part of the Bliss wallpaper, Bonzibuddy, Donald Trump's head, the [[Logo History|Windows 96 Logo]], an image of a man called "breen.png", the recycle bin icon, a gun, a road sign with the word "caution" on it, the pumpkin from Pumpkin World with glowing blue eyes, a red symbol of a hook and hammer, the Linux penguin, and a green square.

In the initial release of [[Windows 96 v2]], DeskMeter was removed from Windows 96.

While the window title and taskbar item showed the capitalization as "DeskMeter", the start menu entry always left the "M" lowercase.

Disk Encryption is a feature introduced in [[Windows 96 v3|v3]] that allows you to protect your files by encrypting your disk.

Disk Encryption can only be launched from the Control Panel, but the Disk Encryption wizard has to be ran in recovery mode. Therefore, launching Disk Encryption will automatically reboot Windows 96 into recovery mode.

Disk Encryption is different then a login password. A login password is stored in a file, which can easily be removed via your browser's DevTools console. Disk Encryption encrypts all your files with an encryption key generated from a password you choose. Once you enable Disk Encryption, you will need your password to access your files. If you forget your password, you have no choice but to reset your Windows96 installation.
