Day by day…

Another recent review of mine, about AMMYY Admin software – usually used for quick and easy remote access to computer.

Pros:

1. Fast [it is damn fast, indeed]

2. Simple for end user:  Click – Run – Spell – Approve.

3. No installation required (possible, but not have to) + free.

4. Embedded File Explorer to transfer files between computers (both ways)

5. Secure [so they say, at least!]  ….

Let’s see:

As You may noticed previously, I am frequent customer of Free WiFi from Egged\Mako.

Here is look of bored person to some minor (or not – who knows) configuration issues during the  trip on Egged bus, when there was a problem with Internet.

Suddenly, one day jsunpack.jeek.org became unavailable due some internal error, and I had few samples to decrypt.
So – Google found for me jsunpack-n project

Well, nice one, but as usual, installation instructions ported for Ubuntu (mainstream )

Here is small guide for those who will need to use this awesome tool under Fedora\RHEL or even CentOS (not tested, update me if You did)

After You got all files in jsunpack-n folder, go and open INSTALL file, written by Blake Hartstein. I will  refer to this INSTALL file each time we can proceed with original install instructions.

1. Let’s install all packets required for successful compilation

# yum install libpcap-devel pkgconfig python-devel gtk2-devel libnet-devel  pcre-devel pcre gcc-c++ gcc

2. Good. Now we need to install libnids-1.24 (or – at least CONFIGURE and MAKE it) from folder  depends/pynids-0.6.1/libnids-1.24

$ cd depends/pynids-0.6.1/libnids-1.24

$ ./configure

$ make

# make install

p.s. If You will install libnids from Your repositories, pynids-0.6.1 will fail to setup itself – error:

gcc: error: libnids-1.24/src/libnids.a: No such file or directory

3. Install dependencies, as mentioned in INSTALL file, one by one.

4. Try to run

$ python jsunpackn.py  -u http://google.com

5. see result in temp/files

Known issues:

1. Yara error

In case You got message ImportError: libyara.so.0: when run jsunpackn.py, run the following commands:

# echo “/usr/local/lib” >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

2. ZLW error

In case You have error: ImportError: No module named lzw when run jsunpackn.py:

Go to website http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lzw/

Download, unpack and perform install of LZW  package:

$ cd lzw-0.01.11/
$ python setup.py build
# python setup.py install

Cheers!

Server Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Services have a grace period of 90 days from installation till day it lock access to users. Suddenly, there is no big red screen with countdown, or even small announce in Server Manager about expiration date. It somehow hidden, so eventually expiration date is usually not expected Now – Your business is down.

How You can connect locked Server? Run RDP client in Admin mode: mstsc /admin – to connect to locked server. Here You can configure licensing and add licenses.

By the way – You can see Days left by few ways:

1. in CMD (Run as Administrator) – paste and run:

wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TerminalServiceSetting WHERE (__CLASS !=”") CALL GetGracePeriodDays

From Here – thx Ovi Borrero

2. Or You can use PowerShell script or VB to have this info – see MSDN
