Ayoi’s

I rarely have any spare time nowadays. My workload at the office sometimes make me wish that I have Harry Potter’s magic wand so I can cast a spell to have few clones of me to get the job done. Wait a minute, better I cast a spell to get all my job done automatically Because of this, I seldom complete whatever things that are not stated in the new appointment letter which I haven’t put my signatures yet.

While at home, the kids will always make sure that I dun have the time to touch my laptop or to open a book. My twin especially Adam indicates his interest in IT by try to step on my laptop whenever he managed to get his little hands on it while Ariff has this habit of poking and leaving his palm prints all over my laptop. Iman loves “whispering” in my ears saying “I want to play game papa..Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee…”. Usually her sister Nisha will take over playing the games while IMan end up as a bystander.

Anyway most of my commuting time from my house to the office spent listening to Ed Skoudis lectures and he did mention about Tom Liston’s article “Follow the Bouncing Malware”. So as for today I managed to retrieve the article posted at ISC Handler’s Diary, copy it onto words document (5 series long), print and bind it properly. At least I have something to read during my lunch hour (the only free time that I have).

It is a really really nice article. Generally Follow the Bouncing Malware article really an eye opener. I really like how Tom put it. You own the PC but actually “others” who are really 0wnz the machine. There are differences between owning and 0wning.

It also shows that how many “free gift” that always in the mood of “giving” when you browse to a wrong or untrusted web site. In fact some of the “free gift” also dictates the browsing behavior of the machine. Scary eh. To be honest, the article was written in such a way that you will keep on reading until the EOL. I would call it fun and informative. I guess those guys at InGuardians are really crazy (yeah I’ve read Ed Skoudis and Tom Liston presentation slides titled, On The Cutting Edge: Thwarting Virtual Machine Detection)
