is a nightmare! I really hate UAC User Account Control. I needed to make a standard image we could use for our Windows Vista machines. UAC bothered me the first 5 minutes while using Vista so i turned it off, it also gives complains while the PC is getting his group policy thru the network. Desktop Authority wont work while UAC is on. After getting all the software that needed to be on the standard image, i had to contact some software developers to get vista compatible versions.

Strange things are happening, when i install a piece of software it is installed, but when i reboot the icon on the desktop is gone, even from the programs menu. When i check the directory it is still there, this is when i am using a local user and network user.

Still busy with perfecting the image for those machines, will let you know when i have something i can actually work with.

I have gotten a new toy from work, a OCZ 32GB ATV Flash Drive Model - OCZUSBATV32G. I must say this thing is just the USB stick i have ever had in my IT career and probably will be for some time. It is has a though look, it can resist water, is shockproof and a lot more. It has a nice rubber housing with a nice grip on it and a led indicator build in.

I will never again be screwing around with several USB sticks, like the 8GB USB stick i had before. Here a Link to amazon where you can order the USB stick.

Hey people!

Sorry for not writing in a while but hey i got a real life as well. I have a new girlfriend and i am totally in LOVE. I also gotten a contract on the job i was working on, so everything is going well with me.

I did not spend a lot of time on the forums so i temporarily suspended it, will be back soon with more information on it.

Peace out,

Well in one word my weekend was just FUCKING AWESOME. I went to Mysteryland in Haarlemmermeer in the Netherlands.
I got in for free, since we had VIP thingies for our wrists, we could just walk in without any questions. The weather was also great!

I am still tired of one of the best party here in Holland, one of the best line up i had seen in ages. For our dance and trance freaks, they could see DJ Tiesto. For our hardstyle lovers (like me) we had the following list.

Promo & Lady Dana, Deepack, DJ Zany, Showtek (live) + MC DV8, Headhunterz (live), DJ Luna, DJ Ruthless vs Coone, Cor Fijneman, MC Ruffian

All by all, the day was awesome and i had a fucking great time. Hopefully i will come back next year!

Hi people,

Been working on the forums last night, they are up now you can reach the forum at a link on the homepage or by CLICKING HERE. Hope you enjoy the forums.

Peace out

Hi guys,

I am setting up a new forum where you can discuss computer related stuff. Still making forum rules and busy uploading all the files. Of course i am trying to get a nice looking theme as well for the forum. Well i am out for lunch, if you know something nice and exciting to add to the website let me know.

Also if you want to promote nice projects your working on do not hesitate to mail me at cel0x[at]cyber-war.org.

Before i got my new assignment i never worked with Mac a lot, but here at the agency currently 70% of the company is Apple Macintosh. I really got to like Apple and Mac OS X. I already did a full company roll out from 10.4.x Tiger -> 10.5.4 Leopard on my own!



Made a bootable HDD from a Leopard DVD so i did not had to use the DVD as main installation source. I used a tutorial from IuseApple. Very easy to do this. This benefits you a lot, cause the installation goes faster and no scratches on your DVD giving faulty installations.

Well i fell in love with Macintosh!

I love Fridays! Beginning of a fresh weekend.
Like to play poker Friday night, and after that i go out in Amsterdam. Can't wait until i drink my first beer here after a long day of work, by the way my first beer will be at work!

First off at five o'clock i will play some fifa with friends from work, until 6 and than i will be on my way to poker.

Wish me luck at poker!

Again a day at the company. Again we found 2 PC' s with malicious malware on them. Of course my opinion is to cut the access to the internet, but we run a commercial company, and our creatives need open access to the internet. This means more work for us to protect the network, clean the desktops and hear the people complain while it was they who clicked the DAMN link! Means we got to disconnect the PC, and clean it. If it does not help we give them a new machine and put a new image on the old machine and that one goes back to stock.

Think i go back to boxing lessons once again to release some aggression towards the punching sack. After reviewing this i sound like the system admin from hell.

Social Engineering, what does it mean? Wiki description.

I needed to upload some information to a website of a friend, but i could not reach my friend. But it was pretty important to do this before 16:00 today. I knew what web hosting company he used due to the commercial link on the general admin login.Maybe i could fiddle the login of a help desk employee or let them reset the login information. I had to make a cunning plan to make this work.

First of all i needed as much information to impersonate my friend and act like him.

Things i looked up to impersonate him:

Street address
zip code
Name and last name
I made a simple G-mail account with firstname.lastname@gmail.com.

This was all i had, i looked up the phone number of this company and i needed to sound cool and relax over the phone. Was this really going to work, would they be that stupid?

Well i called them, i got menu and after a couple of minutes they brought me to someone at the helpdesk.

Conversation went like this:

Helpdesk: Hi Sir, good day how can i help you?
Me: Hi, well i had a question how can i reset my login information since it seems i lost them.

Helpdesk: Well sir, you have a customer number?
Me: No, sorry it will be on one of my bills probably. But i recently moved so i need to look that up but that can take a while and i kinda really need the information.

Helpdesk: Hold on sir.
Me: Sure.

Heard 3 minutes of music while i was on hold.

Helpdesk: You still there?
Me: Yes

Helpdesk: Oke which website sir?
Me: www.****.org

Helpdesk: OK what is your name,tel. number, address and zip code sir
Me: i told him all that, plus the mobile phone number of my friend ( remember i called anonymous with my mobile phone )

Helpdesk: Sir, does E-mail *****@****.nl still exists?
Lucky break for me, since i would never guess that mail address he just told me
Me: No sorry, i don not use that mail anymore, mind changing that as well to firstname.lastname@gmail.com?

Helpdesk: Of course, no problem. Login information will be sent in 5 minutes. Good day sir.
Me: Thanks a lot! Have a nice day.


I was happy and made that deadline and uploaded the stuff.

I impersonated my friend, you can do this with anything. If you have enough information and stay relax, since if you sound nervous they probably ask u more questions you probably can' t answer.
