Knowing you’re bored #157

Friday, January 19th, 2007

The other day, I found myself holding the N key in guidgen, trying to exhaust all 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 GUIDs. I didn’t count, but I think I got to around a 1000 GUIDs so far… I was just that bored. I guess I was hoping for a cool “OUT OF GUIDS” BSOD or something.

Missed evil files

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

I tried looking for a newer version of NSIS Media by visiting their latest update server. I came out empty handed, which was bad news for my research but great news for the rest of the world. Just to make sure I got it right, I visited the old update server once again. I was in for a surprise when it served me b10.bin for downloading. As you may recall from one of the earlier posts, I originally downloaded only [ab][1-9]. Seeing as it suddenly served b10.bin, I upgraded my download script and found some more evil files.

atixim.dll
avirpa.dll
javadsa.dll
kbdicp.dll
msabdx.dll
msrrwvb.dll
schuu52e.dll
xmlfef32.dll

I’ve updated my NSIS Media Remover to detect and remove those as well. I’ve also updated the samples archive, though it still doesn’t contain any of the old version DLL files.
