Recognizing the Intrusions and dealing with Registry Hacks

Just installed a copy of Vista Ultimate 64 bit and got it upward and running without problem for a couple of days.  Today, the Internet stopped briefly and then minutes later he did again.  Suspecting an intrusion, I checked the relationship between downloaded to downloaded packages.  I looked at simply, does not download music, videos or something like that, and I had been on during a few hours.  Download Download the report is about 1 / 3 and I could see a lot of activity on the upstream with all browser windows closed and no open programs (other than background processes).  If it has been updated, I would see a lot more activity on the downstream!  So I shut down the system, disconnected my cable modem and waited to get a new IP address.  I don't think it is normal to see such a ratio and wait at least to a minimum, 01:10 regarding the packages downloaded from the downloaded packages. My gut tells me that someone was in my system mucking around.

Am not a fan of the Windows registry because it allows keys to be surreptitiously inserted that I have no permission - even as an administrator - change.  People can edit your registry to open doors for them to come and go and give them the ability to run a remote software that does not appear on your screen.  They can run processes that do not appear in the list of processes.  Even if you think about it, once they take away your ability to see and remove their keys, you have no real way to do much.

If someone in your system hacks the registry to defeat your security, it is not like a virus. If no virus checker will never see it.  He just thinks you want that your system is set up this way.

Why Microsoft is not dating a utility that would allow an administrator to reset the Windows registry to a set of default values such as Windows returns to a State where it would be if it were installed with all the security current updates and drivers for hardware on the Microsoft Update site.  All entries in registry and other customizations user would be wiped off the register. No backdoor open, download closed.  In my opinion, it takes a utility like that and I'm certainly not the first to come up with the idea.  What stops Microsoft to release something like that?

I think you are misunderstanding the registry and what it does.  I could spend a few weeks teach you this topic, or you could get books and studies.  But to list some of your misconceptions:

1. the registry may only be changed by you by using the registry editor, or a program you gave permission to run on your system.  There is no way an Internet connection can edit your registry database, or the data that flows over an Internet connection.

2. just put something in the registry is no harm either.

3. somehow the registry cleaning as you suggest would kill every program installed on the system.  Any software that does not come with Windows (think, Microsoft Office, updated Internet Explorer, software utility, everything that you install) would probably be nuked and killed by such a destructive restore.  If all the drivers you have downloaded directly from the manufacturer, or provided with the hardware you have installed after that you did this registry restore. No hacker could do the kind of damage this type of restore registry would do to your system.

If you suspect that someone can enter your computer, trying to protect or restore the registry is absolutely the wrong way to stop.  This is what software firewalls, antivirus, anti-spyware, etc. are for.

  • Migration to ESXi and dealing with the VMkernel changes

    We are running ESX 4.1 in our group, and with the release of 4.1u1, I wanted to migrate to ESXi. However, it is to be a little difficult because of changes in the service console.

    Because I can have is no longer 2 different gateways, I have to keep all the VMkernel traffic on the same bridge, my service previously ran on 10.157.188.x console, but my iSCSI traffic ran on 10.72.66.x.

    If I move all my VMkernels to 10.72.66.x, then VMware HA will not and I can't join the host to the cluster that has its service on the network 10.157.188.x consoles.

    How can I get around this?

    Hello

    We had a similar design, where we used a second NETWORK adapter for the NFS storage.

    The solution was to create the second VMKernel port on the host and tie it directly on the (non-routable) storage network

    As everything was on the same IP, no DG only required Beach and bonus was that the traffic of storage was always 100% secure and isolated.

    I can assure everyone that I WAS a loyal user of dell for MANY years... I use the past tense as I did with DELL... My DELL perferred account will be in default because I will give DELL NEVER a PENNY of my money...

    My monitor is toast. Called dell it was under warranty. They promised to send a new monitor. I got a monitor refurbished which was different from MY monitor. My speaker wire does not match the plug on the monitor... Still called DELL... had the privilege of trying to talk with someone who doesn't even speak good English. He said it would be "CHECK IN IT"

    3 days later, DELL called me. Even someone who doesn't speak English well. He said he "checked in" and they sent me the correct monitor. I try to tell him that the monitor is NOT the right model, as the Speaker Wire plugs are different. He tells me it is the same model. Funny because one, they sent looks NOTHING like the one I got

    He told me that he "CHECK IN" ask him what you most need to check on? Did you check for 3 days and came to the conclusion that I had the correct model. Your DELL person, HUNG UP ON me... I'M DONE WITH DELL...

  • Portege 3500 - change HARD drive and deal with overheating CPU

    I recently bought a Portege 3500 without any support of discs etc. It doesn't have a CD or a floppy disk. It has 2 problems, I want to trouble.
    (a) HARD drive is obviously out because it is by clicking on me, and it presents a permanent red section during defragmentation.
    (b) the fans are at full power all the time, and the CPU is running slowly.

    (a) I had a new HARD drive that I reformatted on other laptops. I put a base Windows XP on this HARD drive and uploaded on my external that I attach to the Portege. I used "transfer... Assistant "to transfer files, folders, and settings to the new HARD drive but I don't know how to install the old Windows XP OS Tablet it." I have the product key of Microsoft for the operating system. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    (b) I believe that the transfer of heat from the CPU on the radiator is a failure, causing the processor to hot and therefore slows down. I already solved the same problem with a Dell by coating the top of the CPU with Artic Silver 5 paste. I cannot, however to get the CPU in the same Portege so I removed all the screws down. Does anyone know how to split the case without causing damage?

    Hello

    (a) Unfortunately, but I don t really know how you want to install the operating system without using the recovery CD or the windows CD.
    I searched a bit in this forum and found these messages on the installation of the OS on the Portege 3500:

    (b) on the Portégé, you should find the power saver utility. This utility allows you to change the different modes of cooling and processing speed.
    In my opinion, you should also check if the fans are clean. Especially the dust and debris inside of the laptop is responsible for cooling not properly of the CPU and other parts.

  • A few days, I bought a mac mini which I transferred the data and programs with time machine: programs have been updated except for iMovie, and now it seems that I have to pay for the update: possible? What I am doing wrong?

    A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?

    If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie.  Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.

  • Synchronization of the inputs and outputs with different sampling frequencies

    I'm relatively new to LabView. I have a NOR-myDAQ, and I am trying to accomplish the following:

    Square wave output 10 kHz, duty cycle 50%.

    Input sampling frequency of 200 kHz, synchronized with the output that I get 20 analog input samples by square wave, and I know what samples align with the high and low output of my square wave.

    So far, I used a counter to create the square wave of 10 kHz, display on a digital output line. I tried to pull the document according to (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4322/en), but I'm not sure how sample at a different rate than my clock pulse. It seems that this example is intended rather to taste one entry by analog clock pulse. There may be a way to create a faster clock (200 kHz) in the software and use that to synchronize the analog input collection as well as a slower 10 kHz output generation square wave?

    I eventually have to use the analog inputs to obtain data and an analog output to write the data channel, so I need the impetus of the square wave at the exit on a digital PIN.

    How could anyone do this in LabView?

    Hi Eric,.

    All subsystems (, AO, CTR) derive from the STC3 clocks so they don't drift, but in order to align your sample clock HAVE with pulse train that you generate on the counter, you'll want to trigger a task out of the other. I would like to start by a few examples taken from the example Finder > Input and Output material > DAQmx. You can trigger GOT off the train of impulses, start by Gen digital Pulse Train-keep -you probably already use a VI like this to generate 10 k pulse train. AI, start with an example like Acq Cont & chart voltage-Ext Clk - Dig Start.vi-you'll want to use the internal clock so just remove the control of the "Source of the clock" and it uses the internal clock. From there, simply set the "Source of the command" either be the PFI line generates the meter, or ' //Ctr0InternalOutput '-assuming that you are using the counter 0. You'll want to make sure that the start of the task HAVE faced the task of counter I is ready to trigger off the first impulse. They should be aligned at this point.

    For debugging, you can use DAQmx export Signal to export the sample clock - you can then brought the train line and the PFI pulse to make sure that they are aligned.

    Hope this helps,

  • Camera does not show the extent and automation with Legacy 1394 drivers

    Hello

    I have a Guppy AVT Firewire camera and try to get this camera working on a new Windows 7 PC, I have here.  The PC is running Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit.  When I connect the camera to the computer, it installs the driver NOR-IMAQdx IIDC, the camera appears in the studio of measurement and automation (version 4.6.2) under the heading "devices OR-IMAQdx", and everything seems to work great.  However, I need to use the legacy driver.  When I select the "Legacy IMAQ IEEE 1394 IIDC" driver, the device disappears from measurement and Automation Studio.  Reboot of the camera or to disconnect and reconnect the camera do not help.  In the Windows Device Manager, the la camera camera shows that the use of inheritance OR IMAQ IEEE 1394 driver (11/10/2006, version 2.0.5.0 that day), and windows reports it as working properly.  However, it is not always on display of the measurement and Automation and my application cannot see the camera.

    Here is what I tried:

    * Update the NI Vision Acquisition version 2009.11 software.

    * Make the legacy NOR-IMAQ for cameras 1394 2.0.5 is installed

    * A tried the same device with the same software on an old PC running Windows XP and found everything works as expected it.

    * A tried a card PCI IMAQ 1405 in the Windows 7 PC, which works very well.

    * Search in the forums.  I found several references to this document which refers to issues where disappear from the camera of measurement and Automation Explorer:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/22AD45D8A5B053AF86256EB5003B2811?OpenDocument

    It seems that it might apply to my situation, however, the link is dead for me.

    Thanks for any help!

    I suggest you to install the bus driver 1394 AVT on your PC.

    This replaces the microsoft implementation of the 1394 Protocol and is better suited to the activities of the vision.

    You always can choose IMAQdx or old drivers.
