Simple Java Encryptor and Decryptor

Well, glad to be here again, posting again, and sharing again. This time I want to share a simple java encrypt and decrypt application. Well, I'm not the one who write the code from scratch. This application was a modification of javaencryptor from sourceforge.org, I designed the UI in Netbeans,which I think better then the original one (but, I'm sure You can do better). This application use DES algorithm to encrypt and decrypt, and this is one of Password Based Encryption (PBE) application. Perfect for encrypt (almost, maybe) all type of files. It's suitable for beginner java programmer (like me, of course) to learn more about java cryptography. You can get it here PBEDes or in Download box.
Well, I think that's all I can write this time, and maybe this blog will be left fo a while, because I'm concentrating on my final assignment now, for my graduation.
So if any comments or suggestions, just write in comments...
feel free to be creative..

Third prize on My First Posters Competition

I know being the third winner is not the best one, but this is kind of great experience for me. Actually this posters competition is not part of my plan. I become a participant on that competition because of my proposal of PKMK (Progam Kreativitas Mahasiswa Kewirausahaan - Student Creativity Program of Bussiness) was accepted and I have to do that program. This poster I made, was part of the program. But then my university held a competition for those posters (many posters was follow the competition) before the real competition held by DIKTI (Dirjen Perguruan Tinggi- Director General of High Education) on PIMNAS (Pekan Ilmiah Nasional- National Science Week) on July 14.
I have no idea, what is the criteria for the best poster (but being third place is not bad, isn't it?). I think my poster design is not too good, because I'm a beginner in Illustrator (I made that poster using Illustrator). The design is so simple, no advance technique at all. You can see it below.



Well, I'm not hope too much, but that 3rd prize give me spirit for learning more about graphic design. I hope you can see my next work, and fell free for comment..

How to remove new (local) virus called JoniEzz.exe

Yesterday my friend came to my room, he complaint about virus on his computer, then ask me to clean it. He bring his usb memory with full infected documents in it. With no suspicious, I plugged in it on My lovely computer. I'm no worries at all, because I have scan it with Norton antivirus (with virus def. update on 13/6/08) before. No malware found so I'm sure that it is clean and save. Well until lastnight, I didn't realize that I am infected too. major change in my computer make me distrustful, so I began to use Ice Sword to monitor what processes were running. I use it because usually the virus proceses do not appear on the list. Then I found it, the process called smss.exe but with Word icon. This is weird, cause the real smss process is not with word icon. Until this, I realize that I've been infected.


So I wanna to share my experience, how to remove the virus and get back your hidden documents. First we need this tools :

1. Ice Sword, to monitor the processes, the virus won't recognize it, cause the title was randomly change.
3. Toggle hidden explorer stuff, a vbscript, good tool to show system files with super hidden attribute or You can set the DWORD value to 1 of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden in registry. Note, some antivirus will block this script, just allow it.
2. Attribute Changer, great tool to change files attribute, even with super hidden attribute. You need to install this tool first.

thats it all we need, you can get them on my blog Download box (on right sidebar) or just google them.
Now lets do the best thing,
- Fire up Ice sword, find processes called smss with word icon and kill them. Remember only processes with word icon!
- after that, use the toggle show super hidden file script to show all the system file. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and find folder named LoLOxz (or some thing like that). Inside the folder is smss.exe and msvbm60.dll. Just delete the folder. Now You have removed the virus procesess.
- to get back your hidden documents, just find out the documents, select all hidden documents and right click. Select Change Attributes from menu appear, uncheck the Hidden and System. Now you document back to normal.


- This virus also create the msvbm60.dll in same folder with the infected files, and autorun.inf in every drive which command the JoniEzz.exe in every drive. Remove both files too.
Just for information, this virus only infected files in first level directory. So if you files located deep in directory, You dont have to be worry. Maybe this is only remove the main virus and the processes, I really have no idea how much the virus create other files in Windows directory or somewhere else. I think it is wiser for you to back up all your important data and update your antivirus definition file right now. If you have any information about this virus, fell free for comment.. thats all. I hope this is useful..

Header and title changed

It's been a few weeks that I'm planning to change my blog header and title. I'm thinking for suitable title and represented header for my blog, this because I think the title "It's all about creativity" is no more suitable with the content of my blog. This blog content is containing more experiences then result of my work or study (although it will still here / posted).
I decided to change my blog title become "My Explorations :: A Geek Experiences" which is more represent this blog content. I think this title clear enough to what it is mean.
For the header background, I use part of a wallpaper called chroma wallpaper, which I found somewhere in ndesign-studio.com links..(I forgot where exactly I found it...you can google it).There is lot of resource and tutorial in graphic design there. For you who new in Illustrator or PS I suggest to visit it. And I added my little artwork I call Gunungan (modified), which is part of Wayang Kulit. Thats all... Feel free for comment...Enjoy..

Vista driver problem for common device (like mp3 player, ide to usb, etc)

Maybe this is an old issue, but if you are new in Vista and got problem like unrecognized some common device like MP3 / MP4 player, usb to IDE for portable HD and some other portable storage, maybe this would be helpful. Vista actually has already recognize dome of this device but sometime it ask for driver which is already inside the system folder. So if you had unrecognized device then asked for driver, don't search online, just browse it to the windows system folder which is for default C:\Windows\system32, let vista seach automatically. Some are works... I had this work for usb to IDE HD, mp3 and mp4 player... Fortunately this kind of bug I think already fixed in SP 1. Go here for download Vista SP 1.

Youtube was Unblocked

Today, I can access Youtube as usual, youtube was unblocked. After my previous post, I think youtube blocking will last longer, and I was wrong. This day I open my firefox and go to youtube.com I get no problem loading page anymore. Maybe our government changed their mind for blocking some site (we knew that our government has block some site as beginning of the new UU-ITE) . Ya.. I hope they will be more selective and cleverer to make decision like that again...

Yahoo or Google?

Search Engine (SE) has become one of the important thing on the internet. There is so many SE, but take look at Yahoo and Google, everybody know them. Why this two "guys" become more popular than the other? This post, I write based on my experience using this two big SE every day. First, go to http://www.google.com/ , what you get is page like this.



Only centered Google picture, one text box, two button and some links and options. That is too simple for a website. Even I can tell, it is too simple. This desain is one of Google powers. I think many people who searching for something in the internet, only need components for searching, its text box and the seacrh button. they didn't like so many links or pictures so they can easily locate the toolbox for searching. Thats why every search engine place the text box in the middle of page.Yahoo did to.



but You can see many links and pictures on Yahoo. Some of the other people want to find what they are looking for exactly in the first page they open. This is what Yahoo offers. Yahoo is more like a portal site or news page than a search engine, like we can easily read the earlier news on Yahoo. Both SE have their own superiority, but which is the best for you? I think it is depend on what are you looking for. This is my experiences, if you looking for something more specific in you local country or using you languange use Google. I use Google for seaching in Indonesia, and to find specific file type. Google is the best for this kind of searching. This is why some people said that Google is better than Yahoo. But try something more general aroud the world, Google always try to find on your local area first. Yahoo did better for that. More general searching from around the world. So if you see only for the seach engine capabilities of this two SE ,not from all the company features or products, the question is not which is the best one, but the question about what are you looking for and where are you searching is more appropriate.If you compare this two company from their products, Google is much better than Yahoo. Google have almost everything that surfer need. Mail, Blog, Groups and even Adsense. Thats why I prefer using some of Google features. Thats all I have... fell free for searching, and fell free for comment me...

Connect Internet via NOKIA 2116 CDMA + CA-42 on Gutsy Gibbon

Now I can blogging from my room.. Guess what? yes, I have internet connection on my desktop PC now. I found interested tutorial about creating connection using NOKIA 3125 here. The problem is I'm using NOKIA 2116 and CA-42 cable. Althought all the steps is not working for me, that tutorial is still help. Here I'll describe how to get connected to the internet using Nokia 2116 and CA-42 cable. Your needs :
1. Gnome-ppp ,make sure this application is installed
2. Nokia 2116
3. CA-42 cable
4. Modem driver for nokia 2116 (you can get it here)
5. Activated CDMA card

now lets, start...
open Gnome-ppp, you will see something like this:


click "setup" button to configure you modem, see like this:


now connect your phone using CA-42 on your computer USB port
click "detect", if detected.. the device will appear like /dev/ttyUSB0 (it can be different on other computer). Choose USB Modem on modem type if not automatically changed, leave the rest on its default.
Now on "Phone option and init string" click on "Init string" button you will see dialog for modem initialization string. The key to make your modem phone work well is on the init string setting. Now You can open the modem driver (nmpCDMA1xRTT.inf) using text editor. On modem type (around line 85) section you can find line like this:

Modem Type Maximum DTE Rate Default DTE Rate
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------
; Nokia CDMA 1xRTT Data Fax Modem 115200 19200
; Nokia CDMA 1xRTT 2G Packet Data Modem 115200 19200
; Nokia CDMA 1xRTT 3G Packet Data Modem 230400 (USB) 230400
; 115200 (RS232) Manually set to 115200

nokia 2116 will need to choose modem type number three, which is "Nokia CDMA 1xRTT 3G Packet Data Modem". Now go few line below, find section [3GInit], you will set the init string on gnome-ppp based on this section line, looks like this :

[3GInit]
HKR, Init, 1,, "AT"
HKR, Init, 2,, "AT+crm=1"
HKR, Init, 3,, "AT+cso=33"
HKR, Init, 4,, "ATE0V1"

fill the modem initialization string on gnome-ppp using line before inside "" on the driver file, and it would be AT+crm=1, AT+cso=33, and ATE0V1. Now fill the modem initialization string on gnome-ppp like picture below (double click each init line to fill) :


close the window and close the setup window too. Next step is to configure your connection using the role made by the phone operator.

(this below section may be only work for Indonesian reader)
Next setting will be different depend on your SIM card (operator) choice. I prefer using Starone, it is the cheapest one I think...With Gnome-ppp opened, fill the username "starone", password "indosat", and Phone number "#777". Below is some setting for CDMA card :

* FREN / Mobile8, Username = m8 dan Password = m8 and Phone Number = #777
* StarOne, Username = starone dan Password = indosat and Phone Number = #777
* Telkom Flexi, Username = telkomnet@flexi dan Password = telkom and Phone Number = #777

Now you can click "connect" button....done...


(try to restart you computer first before connecting). Fell free to comment in Indonesian....
This file is for Starone user, maybe usefull Setting Internet Hanset Nokia dengan Starone
