So I wanted to review the permissions of a group of calendars so that all team members can look at other’s clanadars. This is not only a hard task as a administrator to do individually but its also a pain for users, open click add add add. Most users dont understand permissions so they have no idea where or what to click. So I set out for a tool to mass edit calendar permissions.

I found one from Microsoft! This is a very powerful tool and not for goofing off, it is very powerful for public folders as well as private. Public Folder DAV Admin tool and steps that are “not approved” to edit the calendar permissions You can set the default permissions to review for example, this will allow a select or everyone to view everyones calendar, (not that big of a security risk since you can cheat and use free busy data to gather the same information) but it increases productivity for users to know what others calendars look like with the native views in outlook.

It will also do powerful admin tools for your public folders. Give you some interesting data as well. The Q article has one glitch it has steps for a older version of the DAV tool, go to tools menu in the tool for the calendar permissions setting. and log in with a domain admin that has exchange management over the server. My non domain admin user didn't work. (send-as has no barring on this tool)

I just noticed that i had porn on my website then i wondered what's up with that. For the first time in about 3 years i have been hit with a virus. Bad kelly.

google Trojan

 in all commical manner, I got this trojan because I got tired of IE7 security and turned it all off. say haha everyone.

Nothing will detect it yet (no data on the web at all to clean the virus) I did find it running with HiJackThis it had a DLL with the following information

"O2 - BHO: (no name) - {598F4775-6FB6-477B-9842-E0426824E077} - C:\DOCUME~1\KELLYK~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\~DP20.dll"

when that DLL is added or removed the porn will come back. However the trojan appears to still be effecting my computer or a file on my computer is infected, fun.

Found a cool site http://www.virustotal.com it will scan files with all engines, looks like that is just a adware file. how did it get there?!

I can never find a common password and user name dictionary, so I created my own. Simple trick I researched some viruses and pulled the list of user name and passwords they used. Easy. Found a list of the 100 most used passwords and converted them all to .txt files for use with john the ripper etc to create fuzz passwords with. I also went and pulled down the Default Device Password lists and converted them out to .txt files so that you can also have them in a list. So it made about 5 text files of passwords that look like a nice low hanging fruit to chomp. You can download my compilation from my blog.
