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..

New Dashboard Appearance


This is surprising, after few weeks doesn't post anything and today I got a chance, I was a little surprised when logging in to my Blogger dashboard. A new interface appear. Well I thing this is better than before (I'm sure you're also thinking like that). I hope this new looks will be one of my reason to be more often logging and posting. But I think this will be (a lot) more interesting if we can change the color theme of our dashboard, isn't it?

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..
