Rise of Trojan

2007-08-23T03:01:00.000+08:00

Trojan come in all kind of form. Even a detergent. I miss the day when the virus is easily detected and most of them is TSR type and easy to know without antivirus software. I still remember the brain virus. It infect MBR. Virus during that time didn't propagate easily compared today. Not to mention all those ware ware. Spyware, adware, malware.

Floppy can transfer small file and virus to those unwary. But people know that virus can come with it. Nowadays, some peoples are ignorant enough to plug in here and there when they see 'USB hole'. In Malay, they said "pantang nampak lubang" .Think of it as free sex without condom. Some people like me have antivirus program such as avg or at least some form of condom but they get through. True to its name, it is an antivirus, not anti trojan. Remember brontok? and all those downloader virus.

All those multiware spread at high speed since the invention of pendrive or thumb drive. Easy to carry around and become smaller each year. This is the number one playboy. And very hard to deter. Nearly every student have one just like a handphone. Not to mention that the owner easily attracted to a computer. "What file you got? Got mp3? Want to copy la." Nooo, the pendrive goes in. Kaching.

I still remember my first pendrive. My first pendrive has size about 3inch long and half inch thick. Hard to reach the port especially at the back of the computer case. Then the computer case come with usb port at the front casing. Oh not to mention that the port is a lot too. So many 'lubang'. 2 increased to 4 then 8. Some computer even have 12 using USB hub.

Old window don't have this problem. I remember that each time I want to use pendrive at a win98 computer, i have to bring a driver disk. Then came the win xp. autoplay feature is the culprit. You didn't need driver and most of the computer easily infected by the autoplay virus. The autoplay start up the multiware and it replicate into the ram. then it find its way into the system32. ohh, don't forget that most of the multiware have rootkit. In other word they run as system service. These guy is the hardest to remove.

So how to know you're a carrier?

You have a pendrive. Plug it in. If it is your pc, it probably infected already. Go to my computer, right click it. See if you can see any autoplay option there. If you do, you're in trouble. Then checkout your pendrive. Search for any folder.exe or XXXX.exe where xxx is your folder. Trojan usually didn't infect file or program but to stay on the safe side, assume they do. Some of the trojan masquerade as jpg or txt. For example, hana.jpg.exe . A default windows view hide your file extension. So you probably see hana.jpg and click it.

How to detect them in your PC?

You have an antivirus program and it have the latest update. Then you realize that your pc is sluggish. That is a sign. And the antivirus program didn't say anything. I have a lot of these experience. Thrice I had to format due to incapable antivirus program. So here a few step to detect those hidden trojan.

Close all application running in foreground and background. Close your antivirus program, download manager and all leaving only a clock and a speaker icon in the taskbar. Then press ctrl alt del. It will bring up the task manager. Switch to the process view. Monitor them for a few minute. Yes, you cannot see a virus process here but the point is a virus use cpu time and we want to check if the cpu time is used correctly. These process usually spike a little, explorer.exe, lsass.exe svchost.exe csrss.exe taskmgr.exe. All this process spike should not exceed 5 to 6%. If they do, there are something wrong as at this state, your computer should be idle. If the total CPU usage reach about 20% or more, there are hidden process running at the background.
Open my computer then click tools. Check if your folder options is still there. If it is missing, you got multiware. The usual suspect is brontok. If it still there, proceed to step 3.
Click folder option then the view tab. Scroll down and choose show hidden file. Untick the hide protected view. Then click apply and ok. Then create a new folder. Right click it and choose properties. tick the hidden attribute then ok. press f5. See if the folder missing. If it do, then you got a multiware. The hidden folder should stay in view but in gray mode indicating it as hidden.

Oh no I got the virus

First of all, panic!!. Then get another antivirus and do a complete scan. I suggest Kaspersky. You can use the trial version. Or you should scan using online virus scanner. google for it. After a complete scan, reinstall your windows. Backup your document and your saved program. It would be good to format the whole computer. Oh be warned of system restore. Turn it off before you do a complete scan. Sometime virus can be hidden in system restore data.

After that install the best antivirus you can afford. Disable autoplay function. To find the best antivirus, google for top ten antivirus performance. There are a lot of performance report out there.

Good Hunting

Convocation Day

2007-08-20T07:11:00.000+08:00

First time I woke up early today. Well, up and surfing at 5am. Then watch the sunrise thinking that today will be the last day in UTM IF i didn't have the accident and broke my leg during my first year. I'll be graduating today with Zaidel supposedly. Well, the time will come sooner or later.

While wasting time watching sunrise, I remember something. It was during the trip to Auckland last time. I was wearing a slipper sightseeing around the town. It seems funny for a tourist to walk around wearing toilet slipper.My shoe was brand new that time plus it is heavy and it hurt my feet. And I think that the temperature is about the same as this morning.

Auckland have strong sunlight but the temperature was nice the last time i went there.

This year, all planning to go abroad went out of the window. My mother fell sick and had to undergo operation to insert impant into her neck. Scary. And the operation alone cost 40k. So no money left. And with here still recovering, well it will be rude to leave here at home right?

Later.

Errand Runner

2007-08-17T02:15:00.001+08:00

Just finish watching logh. I told about it in previous post. It is good. Real good even it is an old anime. Well, have you guys heard of errand runner? Do you think that an owner of a restaurant buy all he needs at the market? Think again. Errand runner is people that bought things for you at a fee. Usually, you give some market price money to him and a small fee. Depending on how good is the runner at haggling, he can get more money and kept the rest. Interesting is it? All you have to do is get a transport, some referral or reputation and word power. Voila. That's a lot of money. I have an auntie who did the same thing and she bought a house, a car, and a lorry with it. And guess what, she only deal in vegetables. Imagine if she supply poultry, dry food, fish and other thing.

And a restaurant consumed those thing at a high rate daily. If you manage 3 to 4 restaurant, you can get around 800 per day, in a month working at 20 days earn you a hefty 16000. Woah, five figures.

See, it is a chance of business and doesn't need much.

Long long long

2007-07-13T19:31:00.000+08:00

Haven't blog for a long time, each time I wanna blog, well something came up. Internet down, internet slow and not to mention that I fill up my time with games and books. Yes, games.

Talking about game, right now I'm in craze with mmorpg. It is a new start of semester, and only have 11 credit to go with, I got a lot of free time. In addition, my new room can receive hotspot signal, the only unfirewalled connection in town.

I play two games nearly everyday. One is trickster, a 2d game that involve fighting and drilling. yep, drilling. My friend Siraj have a lvl 70 char and sometimes give me a hand. The second one and just started is Scions of fate. If you guys know this game then you guys should know that both got anime theme style of gameplay. I did try rappelz but the registration database is down. And in line, I got dragon raja and age of armor to try.

Well if you guys wanna play it, google the title above. then give me a holler on googletalk. Ciao.

Future plan:

Man, Its Cold Out Here!!!

2006-12-01T16:56:00.000+08:00

Outside it is 10 C. Too cold but not yet subzero. Last time, I went to New Zealand and it was summer. So not that cold and they have nice breeze. Here in Ireland, it always raining cat n dogs and no sign of snow. It feel just like in a freezer.

The interesting part was the flight from Heathrow to Cork. We boarded aer lingus flight and about 2 3rd of the flight was uneventful. Then come the hard part as the plane descending, it was shaking too much that the stewardess keep crashing into the passenger. Really bad than the roller coaster. You can hear the sound of the wing creaking when we dropped a few feet after hitting air pocket. Y? The teory is cold air is heavier and move down. Warm air move up. So down it goes the plane with the cold air. Then the captain make an announcement saying that the upwind is about 100 knot. No wonder cause the weather in cork during that time is storm.

I look the mat salleh beside me and nearby closing their eye hoping they will make it. Well by the time the plane is about to touchdown, a wind swept the plane to side and the pilot tried to rebalance the aircraft. Not to mention that the runway was wet and during the braking phase, the plane throw side to side until it stop. After that, everybody clap their hand coz we landed safely.

In the airport, I heard that all outgoing flights were grounded and our plane was the last one to land and had to land cause they didn't have much fuel to make turn around. Lucky me? Bull shit.

So the morale of this story is, never fly with those cheap airline again like AirAsia cause they only bring enough fuel to get there and the maintenance is not proper.

Chow.

Sleepy

2006-10-05T21:21:00.000+08:00

Man, I'm really sleepy today. I woke up since last night and only sleep at 1.30 noon. Then have to go to kb lecture and then bought food for buka puasa. Right now, I'm writing this with one eye open. Without anything to do than sleeping, I decided to give my computer a new look or themes or styles. Some of you use style xp right? but i use tune up utilities to change it all. Voila, a brown red color themes with matching firefox theme and anime wallpaper to boot.

Nice isn't it? I use Outworld themes with the alien icon and an old anime wallpaper that i found matching the scene.

Later, i will do review on Muteki Kanban Musume. Ciao.

Long Time No See

2006-10-05T07:25:00.000+08:00

Holiday and me.

2006-02-06T00:15:00.000+08:00

How long has it been that I don't blog? A week? Yeah, let me update a little about what I'm doing during the holiday week. After a little disastrous adventure of "Finding Ticket", not Nemo, I'd decided not to go home. Man, all those tickets were sold out leaving vip tickets cost rm80. So siraj and i decided to go by train and find out that the trains were full too. There is a board at the train station showing the availability of tickets, and all I saw was full of X.Nada. What did i do then? zaidel and friend went to watch movie. I decided to take a nap. A long nap cause there was a blackout at the hostel. Then i download from the net like an ant to a sugar? erm, is it the saying is right? watch the LOST from season 1 till season 2. suit me. then played the games from ps1 and x-com interceptor and a little dota here and there.

Sometimes, i went out with sam and zaidel and amir for supper at uncle and spend a lot of time talking about food and other useless things.

I also went to zaidel's room and guess what i found.

Hentai pictures and other sort of pictures too.

Here some of it, not the hentailah.

And chow.

Uahhh... So sleepy

2006-01-25T03:09:00.000+08:00

Haiya, I just setting the blog for nearly about 4 hours. damn, so sleepy. just finished the e2 test and tomorrow got to got the class.

The stupid radio applet cannot retrieve the mp3 and when they finally do, the computer become slow and got the error that the flash can tax the computer resource heavily. Really need a broadband to use the radio, so i disable it for now till i can find other replacement.

Thought of putting a big clock here but decided not to do so. Seems stupid isn't it. A big analog clock on this page. For what? for sinatra_z to measure the time to climax while masturbating?heheh.

Ok. Nearly 4 o'clock now. Got to go to sleep.

Mp3 Player Tragedy

2006-01-23T19:36:00.000+08:00

I just bought a mp3 player. Well, the ptptn is already in and I had to spend some of it before my mom take it away.

I still remember my lost mp3 player. An apacer brand. 128mb and didn't have any radio. Cost me rm270 or rm320. That's a long time ago lah. Got stolen when i was riding the train. at that include a philip earphone and a 256mb pen drive. damn those thief.

You wonder how it got stolen? Remember this. Never trust a stranger. Well i should not have but i forgot. Got drugged. Woke up in a hotel in sri skudai. All i remember was a headache and a hazy memory.

Luckily, i didn't got fucked in the ass and didn't brought my computer at that time or it will be lost too. Then, just on adrenaline, i walked for nearly 6km to the police station to make a report. Carrying 2 bags on both hand.

Anyway, the new mp3 playa that i bought cost me rm208. just 1 ringgit less than the customer who come before me. I asked for 205 but they refuse. the initial price is 215.

WeWa WMP308

Here is the picture. Those black thing is rubber coating. It got 7 backlight. Can show karaoke lyric. Support a lot of format. My last one only support wma and mp3. can upgrade firmware. got sleep or off time. can record voice. can hear radio and save the station. the sound is clear but can be better with a better earphone. the supplied isn't that good.

disadvantage: power drain monster, and very big and thick.about 0.8 inch thick, witdh 1 inch, 4 inch long. 1 inch = 2.5 cm. It got a revised button cause the parent model got a difficult control button and always broken. that why it is larger.

Well, i think that's enough for today. got to go study lah. ciao.

Morale of the day: Never trust an Indian or you'll got sontot in the ass.

Anime Review: Legend Of Galactic Heroes

2006-01-23T00:49:00.001+08:00

I'm not thinking of making a review of those popular anime like naruto and bleach as there are a lot of reviews out there about them. So let me introduce an old classic anime.

Legend Of Galactic Heroes is an anime about space battle, galactic empire, betrayal, and politics. Not much romance to be seen yet. The anime is mostly about a struggle between Imperial and Free Alliance war. Free Alliance is a democratic federation of planet while Imperial is a monarchy.

Overall, there is a German feel to the anime with the name of Imperial's character is spelled in German like Lohengramm while the FA use a more common name. What make me attracted to watch this anime is because of the tactics used and fleet deployment. One thing that you should notice,in LOGH, the capital ship can only shoot in straight line and didn't have broadside armament.

The graphic have a shoujo + gundam 1st generation style. The music is mostly orchestra piece. As usual, the plot is good but the dialog leave much to be desired.

For those who loves space battle, you should watch this anime. Fansubbed version is available from a group called Central Anime.

One thing for sure, the anime won't ever see the light in Malaysia whether in dvd or TV.
