Block Attacks By Blocking Autorun File

If you recollect,some months back i had posted on Panda USB vaccine. Similarly i have come across another tool which i feel is better than Panda USA Vaccine.

Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available.

1. How does this File Look ?

Line 1: [autorun]
Line 2: open=autorun.exe
Line 3: icon=autorun.ico


Kindly Note that Line N ( N=1,2,3) is used just for simplification.

Line 2 Means that when started,autorun.exe file will get executed and Line 3 means the autorun file will have autorun.ico as its File Icon.

In reality autorun.inf files are more complex than this but for now,i am limiting myself to simple examples only.

2.What is Autorun Protector

Autorun Protector is a two way protection .Net application which was released in April this year,prevents PC from infecting with autorun worms and also protecting your removable device from being infected from other sources.



Since I said it is developed in .Net,it requires 2.0 Framework pre installed.Kindly note that it doesn't clean all the worms so i would suggest to use good antivirus to scan the PC to ensure maximum protection.

Autorun worm infects your PC through removable device such as USB Drive. It has a file called autorun.inf which contains code to run malicious program. If PC failed to block this autorun file,it can cause serious damage to the PC.




As mentioned earlier,it has 2 way protection i.e PC Protection & Device Protection. But there is also another feature "The MountPoints2" which is a registry key that contains cached information about every removable device. Clearing this key might solve the problem on opening drive problem issue.



One feature that i really appreciated in the new release was the mean to create own autorun.inf files. It can also fix the drive opening issues.

How to track BLUE SCREEN error on Windows

I have been victim of this problem number of times.Doing some important work and suddenly experiences following SURPRISE



A lot of times a blue screen happens very quickly which you can’t even see what are the error messages and your computer got restarted.The memory crash dump are usually saved in C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP

So I came across a tool,BlueScreenView which scans all your mini dump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table.

For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the mini dump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).

# BlueScreenView Features

1. Automatically scans your current minidump folder and displays the list of all crash dumps, including crash dump date/time and crash details.

2.Allows you to view a blue screen which is very similar to the one that Windows displayed during the crash.

3.BlueScreenView enumerates the memory addresses inside the stack of the crash, and find all drivers/modules that might be involved in the crash.


BlueScreenView also provides options for command line so that this program can be triggered easily.

No Webcam ? I have a Solution

Webcame has really made the communicaion easier. For the people in india to the world and for the world to india..!! well..its really fun to have a webcam besides your PC/Laptop.

But hardly people use webcam or own webcam.Chill now..i have a solution for all the people who don't own a webcam.




1. How to Use it ?

Download the .sis file and use this application after setup installation.
As soon as you start the MobCam application on your mobile, you’ll be able to begin on-line watching of the mobile camera shots on this web site. All you have to do is enter the number you see on the mobile display into the CODE field.

2.Installation and Setup

After automatic installation, you have to perform a very simple application setup. MobCam can operate in three various modes:

# Periodical sending: The mobile phone takes pictures periodically (e.g. every minute), sending them immediately to www.mobcam.cz where you can look at them.

# Motion detection: At the moment of any motion being detected in front of the mobile camera lens, results in the MobCam application taking a picture and sending it immediately to the server at www.mobcam.cz.

#SMS detection: The application takes no pictures. At the moment an SMS with a set password is received, MobCam takes a picture and sends it to the server at www.mobcam.cz.

Select from the application menu to choose one of the modes. The “SMS” mode can operate even when the other two modes have been activated. MobCam is started at the moment you select “Start” from the menu. After that, the display will show a number (CODE); enter this number on the web site at www.mobcam.cz and then you can start watching the images from your mobile camera.

3.View Cam

Only the people with the knowledge of your numeric code (CODE) can look at the pictures from your mobile WEB camera.Share this code for comments and views with others.


Enjoy...!!!

2. We act




1.What is Cyber Crime ?

# in simple terms "illegal activitiy committed on the internet. "


2.Why is it so dangerous?

# sometimes we say,visible criminals are better than invisible criminals because we can trace them.But in cyber space,its not a easy task to trace one so easily.It really takes huge amount of man power working hours with technology to guide the team up to the criminals.

3. what cyber crime involves ?

# Phishing : Act of sending emails by pretending to be the legitimate sender belonging to recognized organization so as to receive important materials such as credit card details,passwords,etc from the receiver.

# Hacking : illegal entry produced into computer or into network

# Child pornography : Abusers use these tricks to abuse household children's. this is really growing into issues this year worldwide.

# Cyber Stalking : ideally means harassment of victim over cyber medium.

# DOS attack : This concept initially i thought to be very simple ( when i was in 11 std).as i completed my engineering,i started believing DOS to be the most dangerous tool.This attack floods the victims bandwidth and/or fills his/her inbox with huge amount of data/spam

# Virus Dissemination : Act of attaching virus.worms/trojans to setup of any progrms

# Credit card Fruading : Unauthorised means to use of credit card in cyber space.

# Net Extortion : Stealing /copying the data from one company as disclosing into public/or for personal use creating huge finantial damange to said company.

3. Are you safe surfer ?

Ask the following Q's before going online to prevent yourself being attached

1. Is your pc/laptop has antivirus installed with its virus database updated up to date?

2. Is your pc/laptop has Firewall configured ?

3. Is your password really strong for email accounts and pc logins ?

4. Do you open emails of unknown people?

5. Are unknown people in your contact list?

6. Do you scan each and every attachment ?

7. Do you disclose any personal information vis emails/chat etc ?

4. How secure is your credit card?

Credit card is been most used in whole world and also that its been attached too.

i will share some methods to prevent credit card being attacked

1. Donot respond to any emails which asks for your card details

2. While entering Credit card details for shoppping online/online purchase/payments use Virtual keyboard for evtering details( HDFC Bank has integrated it). every Pc has option of On-Screen Keyboard.Use the same.

3.While shppoing online via credit card,check iof the site is secured/

# check for the signs of 3rd party provider like CCAvenue and some text like " Site Verfied on - - - " - - - means day month year respectively.

# Verify if the site address has https:// instead of http://

4.If credit card statements are not received notify the bank to close down the services for your credit card.

5. Don't give any photocopies/xerox of your credit card.the number on credit card can be misused if provided photocopies/xerox to unknown people.


I would love to have some people to share opinions or if they have better tips,i would love to include them in my next tip.
