Hi friends, after a long time I got time to post in english. Sorry for not translating soon, I was so busy with my work and my university studies. But I am here again an that is important. Please excuse me if I have some errors in my english but I learnt it by myself.

If someone want to help to correct these errors, please contact me at: admin@mygeekside.com. Thank you very much!

Today I will talk you about virtual machines. Maybe this is new for you: virtual machines are enviroments in what we can emule hardware like a Personal Computer in this way we can run a Operating System inside it. The development of this enviroments has been so big that even we can install many virtual machines inside a PC, and if your hardware support it - I speak about processor and memory - you can execute them at the same time, even set up in network as they were real machines.

These virtual enviroments are frequently used now in many corporate enviroments of several modes. They has so many advantages that I will try to describe some of them:

1. You can install the virtual machine inside a PC and move it to other PC’s, in this way you don’t need to install operating system in every PC with virtual machine.

2. You can use virtual machines to test all kind of software without worry to damage you operating system, no data loss. I will show how to execute malicious software and analize its behaviour inside virtual machine without any risk for the real machine.

3. You can create Snapshots, they act like Norton Ghost Images. We can restore a previous saved state whenever we want after test software, viruses and trojans in virtual machines.

4. You can set up the virtual machines to share resources in your network, etc, etc.

VMWARE:

VMWare is commercial software and you have to buy it :(. But you can use it using trial version. This enterprise is specialist developing virtualization software. There are many types, I will use now VMWare WorkStation 6.0. Trial Version expires in a time and you must purchase a license to continue using it :( . The advantages of this software and I like them are: Skill to set up network in several modes: local, bridge, Nat and No Connection modes. Also you can set up resources: amount of memory to use, disk space, processor, CD, Diskette, sound, video and network you want to use with the created virtual machine. You can install several Operating Systems: all Microsoft Operating System family, since DOS up to Windows Vista, Linux family even Solaris and * BSD. You can download pre-installed operating system image, so you don’t need to install all Operating System.

Let’s proceed to describe installation process:

1. Download VMWare Workstation from www.vmware.com .

2. Once downloaded the Installer, we execute it.

There is a virus that appeared these days on the Corporate network I work, it spreads via USB flash drives (any removable disk , for that matter). Most antivirus software didn’t detect it and if they detect it, they could not delete successfully.

I have designed a little VisualBasic script that removes the virus automatically and from each infected drives. This script also have been tested in several machines and have cleaned infection sucessfully.

And you can download it here:


Once downloaded, just double click on downloaded file.I recommend once script execution is finished, restart your computer and execute the script again to ensure the complete removal of the virus.If you want to know how this virus works and how my script works, you can continue reading.The behavior of this virus is interesting:1. It replicates through USB flash drives using autorun.inf file. For those who don’t know what is autorun.inf: autorun is skill of several operating systems for execution of commands when a removable media is inserted as a CD, DVD or USB flash drives. In Microsoft Operating Systems if want to do a automatic action when insert a CD, DVD or USB flash drive must contain an autorun.inf file in root folder in each drive o USB flash drive.Typical structure of an autorun.inf file is: Read the rest of this entry »

I imagine that more than once that happened when you were copying a CD or DVD you see the terrible error: bad CRC or bad checksum, we can not copy the disc.! I present the program that has the solution and is called AnyReader. With this software, you can copy the files on the CD or DVD to the PC and back to burn them or use them as best you.Click on the image to download:

I present you a interesting mind challenge:

You have 12 coins.  Eleven are made of gold; one is counterfeit.  You don’t know which one because they all look alike.  Also, you don’t know if the fake coin is heavier or lighter than a real gold coin.  All eleven gold coins weigh the same. 

You have a classic balance scale: two pans suspended from a pole with the center point balanced on a post.  The scale can compare the weight of an object or objects in the left pan (L) with an object or objects in the right pan (R ). The scale will tell you if pan L is equal, heavier or lighter than pan R.

You can use the scale only three times for weight measurements with the coins.  Can you determine not only which coin is fake, but if it is heavier or lighter than the real gold coins?  Or, is the task impossible with only three measurements?

 

 

The answer, if is possible or not, will be published soon…

Meanwhile you can try to resolve the challenge … And raise your findings in the comments …

I will present you every so often some mind challenges that I found in some books, internet web sites or others, for you get entertainment and break your brain trying to solve them, hehehe,. They are interesting games that require you extra effort.

It no needed to be a Astrophysicist or to have a high IQ to solve them. Anyway, to solve them you have to think, or sometimes think in a different way to get another perspective and in this way to get soluction.

Some ot them will be easy; others so difficult. So let’s begin…
