Update on My “Work| Researches”
——————————————
Nothing much from the past two weeks. As usual, I been busy to finish up my work assignments and part of my researches. Just to give you some teaser info, I been working on some SOP (Standard of Procedures).

List of them as below:
a. SOP for Windows Update (How-2, Manual, Procedure & Checklist).
b. SOP for Basic Script Kiddies Pen-Test (How-2 & Checklist).
c. SOP for Lab Environment Setup for Pen-Test (How-2 & Checklist).

Other work than above, I spend my time, look into some info and reading some book for my first of all, Training Module. The title will be sort sound like this:
- IT Security (A to Z): Data, Home IT & Safe Internet Security.

I also plan to develop another module training towards a basic info security on Smart Card Technology. I also would like to preview the info on my next article “maybe” but not yet confirm. Either, it will be great, busy, ten’z and sweat forehead for me. Gambate!

Past three days ago, I’m busy with my office work (Internal Audits and etc) and I stuck with several problems with my laptop. But, I gain some point to motivate myself to come out with a Cheat Sheet which I planed from early this year to give some contribution to the Hacking/Security IT World.
You can download the Cheat Sheet here:
Google-HiT: Cheat Sheet for Google Hacking

Make use the cheat sheet and fully utilized it. If you have any comments to improve the cheat sheet, you can do it by sending me emails. I would to hear from you all any suggestion and comments.

Currently, I planned to do some studying and researches on using Mac Book to do analysis and in the same time to test the compatibility using Parallel in Mac OS side by side with VMware Fusion. Because, I planning to use Mac Book to become a VA/HiT notebook for doing testing/VA.

Troubleshooting your Dell XPS M1330 with Vista Business.
Problem: BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) after Windows Update!

Symptoms:
Normally, when you start installing fresh Windows Vista using Bootable CD provided by Dell, you start customize your own programs and installing updates especially towards you AV, AS and Windows. So, Windows Update take place when you need to update your Windows which now currently Vista SP1.

Unlike others, I spend my time using WU to update my Windows from start before applying SP1. So, spend around 2 or 3 hours just to update and restarting. Unfortunately, it end up with a BSOD. Damn!!!

Do worry, after testing for one week, installing, downloading and patching, I finally come out with one solution which is obvious I miss it.

Solutions:
After fresh install Windows Vista, install all your driver especially your Intel Chipset Mobile (From Dell) and Intel Matrix Storage Controller (From Intel). Please follow the download recommended here especially the Intel Matrix Storage. Do download it from Intel (v8.8.0). Then, use WU to update your windows and slowly update 3-5 file updates per time. Don’t update them all of them in one shots. It save you time and effort if its fail and come out BSOD. And then, you know which update file give you the BSOD. I try it and it work well. Always remember, keep backup all your important files.
