IT Dribble

I was using Windows based SSH box the other day and I needed to get some files, but the only options on a limited Windows (XP) box are ftp and the files I wanted were on HTTP so I hunted around and added to a vbscript which created a Wget type script which works via VBScript (which is avaliable on a limited XP Box)
Something else which is good about this script is that it uses Internet Explorer Proxy settings automatically, so if you are behind a corporate firewall and need to go through a proxy it does this automatically for you!

It seems that John the Ripper (JtR) has been out done with some of the latest hashing cracking software in the business! Hashcat and oclHashcat (hashcat.net) is forging ahead with over 33 and 13 hash types respectivley which are able to be cracked. Did I mention oclHashcat uses the GPU of CUDA based video cards for seriously parallel processing? Well it does.

Its seems that Google have changed some of their code for maps website and users are experienicing a dialogue box popup with the message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en
Operation aborted

It seem the solution is to install Microsoft’s MS10-071: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer (KB2360131)

Using this website PCI Database.
Just enter the Vendor or Device ID and boom thats the unknown hardware device!

Microsoft seem to have reinvented the wheel once again and retired peimg.exe from WAIK. WAIK v 2.0 has replaced peimg.exe with dism.exe (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool) so here is the cliff notes on how to inject drivers with dism

# Get info on the image you want to mount and found out the INDEX Number
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:C:\Images\install.wim

# Mount the WIM image at C:\MountPath
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\Images\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:C:\MountPath

# Check if its mounted (or not)
dism /get-mountedwiminfo

#check avaliable commands for mounted image
dism /image:C:\MountPath /?

# Add driver HELP
dism /image:C:\MountPath /add-driver /?

# Install Driver
dism /image:C:\MountPath /add-driver /Driver:E:\PathTo\Driver\InfFiles /recurse

# Unmount and Commit changes to image
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\MountPath /commit

And thats how you inject drivers with peimg.exe’s replacement.

P.S. Incase your wondering how to get the inf files from a package (exe file) you downloaded from a vendors website I recommend using 7-zip to extract the contents of the setup file.
