Do not buy phone at www.ExoticPhone.com

April 8th, 2009

www.ExoticPhone.com contain of the baddest customer’s service I ever receive.  I bought the phone on Tuesday, and had call them right after to ask to cancel it.  They refuse to cancel my order through phone and e-mail.  After the initial attempt to cancel my order, I call them up to talk to another customer service and they refuse to pick up the phone.  They refuse to call me back even after I record a voice mail.  After 5 fail attempt using the phone number they have on the record, I try to call them using one of my coworker phone, they pick up.  They refuse to cancel it and refuse to let me talk to the super visor.  www.ExoticPhone.com is a scam website.  DO NOT BUY PHONE AT www.ExoticPhone.com.

Directory Snapshot Alpha

March 30th, 2009

Check out a alpha version of Directory Snapshot application I develop used to validate the integrity of the system. I develop this as a way for me to validate the integrity of the files in the system after running a malware or any application I want to monitor. This application is useful for me since I analyze malware daily and need a quick way to validate system integrity. The application should be fairly easy to use. If there’s any pointer on improving this application, bug found, or feature wanted, please let me know. You can download it at here.

Feature planning on next release:

  • Add drag and drop
  • Use Sleuthkit to access Filesystem.

Known bug:

  • SHA256 is not working
