Anti-rootkit Utilities

 

A rootkit is a program or a program kit that hides the presence of malware in the system.

A rootkit for Windows systems is a program that penetrates into the system and intercepts the system functions (Windows API). It can effectively hide its presence by intercepting and modifying low-level API functions. Moreover it can hide the presence of particular processes, folders, files and registry keys. Some rootkits install its own drivers and services in the system (they also remain “invisible”).

Below are some anti-rootkit utilities:

Blackberry - Media is from an unsupported format when playing attachment from voice mail

On your Blackberry you receive a "media is from an unsupported format" message when trying to play a voice mail attachment that is a .wav file.  The attachment is sent from a voice mail of an IP phone system.

Follow the steps below to allow Blackberry to play .wav files. 

1.  First you will need to install Windows Media Player on the host server for BES.  For Server 2008, you need to install the "Desktop Experience" in server manager features to obtain WMP.
2.  Once WMP is installed, test playback of a sample .wav file and ensure you do not need a special codec installed.  If a codec is needed, you must install it to the server.  For VMware or servers using virtualization without a sound card you will get an error saying something about no sound device installed - which is OK.
3.  Next log into the Blackberry Administrator Service
4.  Under Servers and components, expand BlackBerry Solution Topology, Expand BlackBerry Domain, expand Component view, expand Attachment, expand Server, click on the instance.
5.  Scroll down to and click edit instance.
6.  Find WAV attachment and you will see "0" as the attachment size.  Change the value to "1024".  Click save.
7.  Click on restart instance or reboot the server.
8.  Test playback on the phones.  If playback still doesn't work, powercycle the device.

VPN client unable to connect or not able to RDP or map network drive

After much frustration I discovered the root of the problem for VPN client issues.  The user used to be able to connect using Cisco VPN Client but was reporting to me that he is sometimes disconnected.  Lately he is able to connect but unable to RDP or map network drives. 

The user is currently unable to get Sonicwall VPN client to connect with no logon presented.  Either the user’s network equipment or ISP was blocking UDP 500 and UDP 4500.  The ISP (Time Warner) stated they do not block ports. 

The user’s cable modem / router is an Ambit / Ubee u10c020. After logging onto the modem, navigate to Firewall->Content Filter and uncheck “Block Fragmented IP Packets”.  Note you may need to navigate to VPN->Enable and select “VPN Enable”.

Some other error messages have been:

There is no connection named x.x.x.x in the connection list

Minimized Cisco VPN Client on Windows

The Cisco client sometimes behaves oddly and starts staying minimized and you cannot switch to the client to connect/disconnect or do anything. The moment it starts it stays minimized and you cannot switch to the client.

This seems to happen as it remembers its location on screen and tends to get some weird values when switching between Display settings. The solution is to close the client and then open the vpnclient.ini file in the Programs directory (for me its located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client) and delete the rows that say WindowX and WindowY and restart the client or make windowX = 800 and windowY = 600.

Alternative solution:

Start VPN Client

1. Start Task Manager
2. Select VPN client from Applications tab, right click on it and click Maximize
3. VPN client will be visible in maximized form
4. Go to Options -> Preferences -> Save Windows Settings. Uncheck this.
5. Go to Options -> Simple Mode.
6. Go to Options -> Advanced Mode.
7. Now restart VPN client.

Messenger Link Reviver for Windows Live Messenger 2009

Recently, Microsoft disabled web links in Windows Live Messenger 2009 citing it to be a temporary measure to a malicious worm. Therefore links now appear as just text and need to be copy/pasted to your browser manually. One can debate the effectiveness of this action as Messenger already had the ability to simply not deliver links meeting a certain criteria, but it seems they've given up on this original functionality and now rely on the SmartScreen link redirector exclusively in Windows Live Messenger 2011.

So for those who wish to use Windows Live Messenger 2009 and still have the ability to click on links use Messenger Link Reviver.

Download the Messenger Link Reviver zip file and run the application. Click Start to apply the Reviver changes and Messenger will automatically restart. You should now be able to click on links again.
