Hi, My name is Iffy. I have to write a report on the Ad-hoc networks from Security POV for my Post-Graduate work, I need help in finding the latest news and development on this topic. If someone could point me to a Research paper out in last two years or a website which you think could me out in this matter. Please let me if you think a website, an underground forum or anything you think mught be able to help me... I would really appreciate it. Thanks Iffy

I want to know if I can run Backtrack 3 or 4 on my Windows machine.. I am new in backtrack and was wondering if I could run it on my windows box or do i need to configure my Liunux machine for it.

Thanks.. I will use it and let you know how it went.

I was checking the latest HAK5 episode and Darren was talking about the Wireless Injection Sotware AirPwn. and I was wondering if there is a version of this software or another software which could do the same thing but on a Wired LAN Network. I handle an institutes Network where computer students are in abundance. and they love to try to bypass the forbidden zones like watching Porn and stuff... Doesn't matter how much I try to bann them they find a backup way to get access to them.. So Iwas wondering if I could do injection so whenever they try to access a Pornographic site they receive a massage telling them that this site contain adult material and are they sure they want to access them..because they are not kids and I believe in right of freedom, I just want them to take some responsibility of there actions and do whatever they want 'cause I have other stuff to do and I can't just stay at the system monitring there every move. Thanks Iffy

Hay everyone thanks for everything you have said and for all the suggestions you have given. I have backep up all my files which were in .doc, .pdf and some photoshop files. I have some softwares installed which I have deleted as I will download them later, gain. Just wanna say say thanks for anyone and everyone who took time to help an IT friend in need. Take Care

Hay guys comeone.. the reason I didn't reply is that I am In Pakistan and there is a 12 hours time difference between your country and mine.. which means that the time you all responded to it I was sound asleep... and there is a Power shortage situation in my country currently so there was no electricity in the moring time...so have a heart and some patience for me ok.. Anyway I am using a Registerd Windows XP Home version. and yes I have network shares setups and no it is not coming from there as I have checked every file there and that system is ineffected. There is only one harddrive on that system and I use a IDE to USB based backup drive which hasn't been plug in for quite sometime. As I didn't want the data there to be corrupted so I haven't plug it in yet. I have used Process Monitor and there was some activity but it was too much recommend what should I search there and if anyone know how a file could keep a check on Registry without showing on Task Manager. and how can I identify it. Take Care and for next time unload your guns before you Enter HAK5 zone :-)

Hi, I came across a Trojan couple of days ago and i can't get rid of it.I have tried everything I could find online. It disable my Task Manager and Registry tools. I have opened them using third party software but after every few moments if I turn them off they went back to being disabled. I have tracked the virus and find out the registry is at following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system Here the Task Manger and Registry are being diasbaled and when I enable it after 5 seconds they went back to there disabled state. I can't see any software or process running except for svchost.exe. Five of them are in process. I have used Process Monitor and Explorer to find it but nothing. If I Reinstall windows it came back even after I have repartioned my whole hard disk. Could use some suggestion to how to find out which file is constantly updating registry. Take Care Iffy
