From zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Fri Jan 6 22:39:31 2006 From: zanchey at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (David Adam) Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 22:39:31 +0800 (WST) Subject: [tech] Cybium Windows reinstall Message-ID: I was working on Cybium this afternoon when I noticed some unusual system behaviour. Further investigation revealed a stack of spyware programs and a couple of trojan/backdoor programs, so I wiped the Windows system partition (after imaging somewhere safe) and with MSH's assistance, reinstalled Windows XP. It now has Service Pack 2 (couldn't be installed previously due to lack of free space). FYI, the image is in cybium:/space/winbackup (accessible from the Ubuntu install) and we can restore data from it as required. I'm thinking people's bookmarks and things, please be careful with executables. It has been patched up, anti-virused (we should probably get an AV client that can easily be updated) and client-side firewalled. The usual caveats on installing software in violation of EULAs apply. (Also, FWIW, wheel members can now join machines to the domain using their own account, although I'm not sure how good an idea security-wise this is. I made the change a while ago but can easily back it out.)

I'm sure there'll be a few teething problems so please let me know if you find any. The new page is available at http://webmail.ucc.asn.au or https://secure.ucc.asn.au/horde3/ You'll want to login to the old version (Still online for the moment at http://secure.ucc.asn.au/horde2/imp/) and export your address book so you can re-import it back into the new version. Enjoy, Frenchie ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
