The Return of DataGrab as a Stand-Alone App!
Most of you know I integrated DataGrab into D7 some time ago. As part of making D7 more modular, I have decided to separate DataGrab once again. Don’t worry, DataGrab is still integrated into D7, but with the separated release I am gearing it more towards a personal backup solution with batch/automation. So now we have DataGrab v2, currently ALPHA release. Final release. It should function exactly as it does within D7, with the exception...
Finally, new Youtube vids!
Getting Drivers with D7 and D7 – Zero Access Removal Hopefully I can crank out a few more soon. Thanks for watching!
Malware Sample Download Locations
Still ISO a complete ZeroAccess malware sample… But thought I would share a few spots I’ve found to pick up various malware samples for others in their search… A lot of people know of www.malwaredomainlist.com a site listing infected domains. Unfortunately all but the most recent entries on the site are usually already taken down or no longer spread infection. Then there is http://www.offensivecomputing.net/ where you can directly download samples. I have several notes for you on this site....
ISO: Malware samples, especially ZeroAccess
Please email me your COMPLETE samples (I want a nice full infection here, no stubs!) Prefer you compress in 7z format, and password protect the archive. Then rename to a non-standard file extension. I don’t need my email provider rejecting important mail! Trying to collect good samples with which to make some new Youtube vids demonstrating removal techniques with D7. Thanks!
D7 v4.9.0 final released!
Misc bug fixes, most notably the Reporting button that generates the Info_Report.txt file was broken a release or two ago and did some funky stuff especially if you chose to copy it to Support. Sorry about that!
dSupport v1.4 – Now with Multi-Language Support!
Just completed dSupport v1.4 What’s new worthy of note: Support for ANY language you wish to translate dSupport into, via AltLang.ini. Also you can now specify a DD/MM/YYYY date format instead of the default US based MM/DD/YYYY format.
What’s new with D7 for non-U.S. users and D7 email users
First, with v4.8.8 just released, I am fixing a bug with my encryption/decryption method of storing your email password, that was introduced in v4.8.5 – if your email actions within D7 quit working at v4.8.5 then this was the culprit. Regardless, with the v4.8.8 update you will be prompted to confirm your stored email password is correct before it is re-encrypted with my new encryption routine. If you were affected by this, sorry about that!!!...
D7 Updates will stay in Pre-Release phase a lot longer now…
D7 v4.8.6 has been in Pre-Release for several days… I am about to upload the full release version, but just thought I’d let you all know that D7 versions will remain in Pre-Release a lot longer than they used to. Reason being, I’m not a bench tech anymore, not as of Monday. Now I am part I.T. and part a completely different career. I simply won’t have the bench time for testing that I did...
D7 v4.8.5 – now encrypts your email password!
Yep, if you use the email features of D7, you’ll know your password was stored in plain text in the INI file. Now, the password is stored with encryption, and also asterisks will be displayed in the D7 config screen for anyone looking in there! …among other new features, this was the biggie.
